Fate

Four hours of doing nothing and thinking about this set up blind date, she actually can't tell whether giddy or passive is she with this date.

However, her dressing up depends upon her mood and that's cheery today.

She picked up a silky fit shorts that showcase her long legs and a white chiffon long-sleeved blouse and slipped on a pair of sneakers. She put on a rouge lipstick and donned her hair into a high pony tail.

Yup, cheery day it is.

Her favorite cologne, Lady Million as her final touch.. And looking at her full size mirror, yep, she's good to go.

On the premise of a dainty apartment sits a newly arrived but not a tourist to the place though is Clarke Buhawi Salvacion. How he got back to this place is inevitable though. But how he got this blind date is unbelievable! It was supposedly his office mate but he was transferred to another work station so they bartered. His workmate was really needed at the new work place and the only way for him to submit is for him to replace his case- being the blind date- because his workmate's abuela

will really get upset. So without so much being said, without a choice actually, he concurred.

If only he knew how his world would turn upside down caused with his supposed blind date...

He's a bit skeptic with this meeting or shall he face it, a blind date.

But he proceeded to wear his favorite black shirt to be comfortable and a camouflage dress pants. Then a pair of slippers! Haha

No need to be formal as he is not into formal ones. His favorite cologne- Sauvage of Dior and he's off to the monument, where he was instructed to fetch his date.

On his way, while driving his pick up, he saw a crying kid somewhere at the side of the street. Something isn't right so he pulled over and went to the little girl. It's so questionable that she is alone. The visible tear-streaked face crumpled his gentle heart with just one careful look.

After parking the car carefully, he then went and asked her why is she alone in this time of day.

"My Nana said she'll come back for me after she delivers her vegetables to the market but it's already dusky and she's nowhere here."

The little girl said in between hiccups.

And that sent his heart goner. He usherred the little girl inside his car and then drove to the market.

Sky was already at the monument but there's no sign of her date. While walking along the premises she stumbled upon an old lady sitting drastically at the gutter. Something must be wrong so she went near her.

"Nana, are you alright?", Hurriedly she went near the old lady and asked.

The woman merely answered her with a deep, loud sigh. Later, she's murmuring something.

"Goer.. Gin.. Goergi.. Na.. My granddaughter. Goergina."

And the old lady fainted!

She immediately called the BFP emergency and in three minutes, she's inside the ambulance going to the hospital.

The lady looked very frail and pale.

Sky wondered where this Goergina is as she were the last words of the old lady she rescued.

"Oh! So much about my blind date!"

She exclaimed to herself and proceeded to the ER of Sebastian Memorial of Angels Hospital as they have just arrived.

It's been an hour now but the little girl and Clarke aren't lucky on finding her Nana. But they heard there was a commotion near the monument just a while ago.

Remembering the monument, he messed up with his date big time!

Ah, he did the one thing he never would have ever done to a woman, stood her up.

But he did it already and there's no way to do about it.

They passed the monument just now but he saw no one near to the description of his blind date.

That's really a loss. He mused.

Accordingly, she is supposedly a good catch. However, he can't just leave this adorable little girl who seems to get so down by the minute.

Her Nana is nowhere to be found. He then turned over the little girl to the police for guidance and safety as he is called over for his profession's duty asap.

The patient is now safe and lying at the hospital bed. And, the hospital got a hold of someone next to kin of the lady. Sky felt complacence leaving the woman now.

After just having walked out from the elevator,

her phone rung, she thought it's what's coming- for not coming for her supposed blind date but it's one of her close friends back in high school to her surprise.

"So it's settled, girl! You're one of the secondary sponsors.. I'm so excited to see you again after the last time!", exclaimed the upcoming bride, Josa.

"Yes, that's surely!", Sky replied in a thrilled tone too.

And the call ended.

While roving on duty, he found out about Nana Desiree and that she has a granddaughter whom she left earlier but she went on an accident by fainting unexpectedly.

Clarke called the police station to lead the police of his hunch that she is the grandma of the little girl he met earlier.

On his way to his car, he stepped out of the elevator, he opened his email as his phone notified but not before looking back at the closing elevator to get a glimpse of that stunning woman with the angelic face.

This made him sulk at the thought entering his head.

"What if that was who he was about to have that blind date with?"

What a loss, indeed.

But sooner he pushed that thought away and proceeded to checking on his email.

He then saw a soft wedding invitation.

It's one of his workmate's and he's listed to his surprise as a cord bearer for the wedding rites.

What?

The wedding is actually in a month now.

But it's the last week of the month so next month would be next week!

Clarke Buhawi Salvacion & Sky Luwalhati Dela Asuncion - Cord and Veil Sponsors

Clarke felt odd reading his partner's name.

She doesn't ring a bell to him but he felt some sort of familiarity.

That's weird but he hopes she's a stunner.

Yes he is a man, he'd look at a woman's looks but he is always impressed with the smart ones.

"I hope this one's a smart stunner".

And he went on with a smile on his face.

Little did he know, that girl would never fail to paint a smile on his face in this lifetime even after everything.

The girl he saw earlier when the elevator was about to close.
