The ambiguity of our relationship

Andrea's POV

Weekend today and Dreb and I thought about taking a walk. We go to the mall and spend our day. The two of us just enjoyed this day. We  stopped walking at a park when  someone called Dreb.

"Hello?"

I looked at Dreb and I could see the shock and worry on his face. he did not speak, after 5 minutes we sat in a chair here outside the Park.

"I need to go home Andrea" he said. Why? What happened?

"Why? What did happen?"

"My mom, she's in the hospital right now. I have to go home now Andrea" a tear came out to my eyes.

"Okay, you should go home"

"your not coming with me?"

"I have to finished my studies Dreb. I can't leave my studies"

"I understand, if things will go well. I promise I will be back. I will be back after I fixed all the matters"

"Okay, I'll wait for you to comeback"

He smiled at me, we go to the hotel and I helped him packed his things. To be honest I don't want him to leave like this. "hey?" he faced me and hinawakan ang mukha ko.

"I will be back, I promise" he hugged me tight, a tear came out from my eyes. He wipe it out and he's ready to go home.

I took him to the airport and said goodbye. I hugged him tight. "I'll be back" he said once kissing my forehead. I smiled and he walked away from me. He waved as he walked away from me.

I got out of the airport and took a taxi. There was no taxi and I just thought of taking a walk. I am walking now in cold weather. I'm wearing a coat and a scarf.

I was already in the condo when my friend Dasha texted me. Dasha became my friend here in the USA. She is the only one I tell about my problems so I was happy that she  texted me.

We meet on a coffee shop, she was wearing a black dress and black boats. Shes really likes black a lot, she even wear a black long dress on her birthday.

"What's up black lady?" I teased her and all attention are on us. She  sltrucked  my shoulder before she  sat down.

"Where's your boyfriend?" I stopped smiling as she asked me that. "Why? What happened?"

"he's in the Philippines already, he had to do some matters. His mother got hospitalized. So he went home"

"why didn't you go with him?"

"I can't leave my studies here. I can't do that"

"Ouh I understand that but what if he would not be back here?"

"He would and he will" I smiled at her hiding my true feelings. I was hurt that Dreb left. I was so hurt when he leaves me. I think my heart is going to burst.

"Okay, let's change this topic. Let's go to the bar" i disagree with her and said to her that o can't go to the clubs. I just said my goodbye to her and went straight to my condo.

It's 2 am and I think Dreb arrives at the Philippines but he didn't even text me if she got there safe or what. I took a deep breath. Maybe he's travel was so tiring and he forgot to text me. I layed on my bed and take a nap.

It's the second day when Dreb leave me but he did not text me. I texted him many times but he's not replying. I'm calling him but no one's answer it. I'm worried about what might happen to him. Where could he be?

"hey girl what's up? Whats the update about your boyfriend?" Dasha asked me when we meet her in the park.

We sat on a bench and the weather was nice. I would be so much nice if Dreb is here.

"he doesn't even replied to my texts and he didn't also answer my calls."

"you know what, what if he would not comeback? Are you really going to wait for him and to be hurt by him again? Andrea look here, I am there when he hurts you. I'm there when you are suffering and hurt because of him. I know your pain. You must stop waiting for him. It's the best for you"

"Dasha? I'm fine. It's just two days when he left here. I'm considering it, maybe he's just so busy to fixed his problems"

"okay, but don't forget that I warned you already" she stood and said to me she's going to her family. It's weekend today, Dasha's will going to visit her family once a week.

I decided to call my mom in the Philippines.

"mom? How are you?"

"we're just fine Andrea. What about you?"

"I'm fine too mom."but literally, I'm not." what about the company mom? "I changed the topic.

" it's fine and the board is waiting for you to graduate and manage the company "

" Okay mom, I will do my best here"i ended the call and took a deep breath before I walked. I'm going to a park. I want to be alone right now, and think what if Dreb really want to comeback?

I was under a tree and lean on it. I was looking at the sky, the sky was so blue and the weather is so nice. "where are you Dreb? Why didn't you texted me what happened to you?" a tear fell out from my eyes as I said it.

I'm alone right here under a tree, I took my phone out of my hand bag and look at our photos. Every photo, my heart aches. I miss him, where are you Dreb?

..........

Month had passed Dreb still didn't replied and he didn't even think Im waiting for him to replied.

I was busy studying here in the university, and didn't even knew its was almost 6 months. 6 months he didn't showed up, he didn't answer my calls. Where are you Dreb.

After classed were dismissed I go to his hotel room and hoping he'd be back but he's not here. I always asked the staff if he did come back but they said he's not.

I will never stop hoping you will be back Dreb. I know you will be back, you promised me. Keep your promise.

Time goes by, time passed fast. Days turns into months and months turn into years. It's been 2 years when he left. Its my graduation today. But I'm still hoping he would come.

Every person who enters the stadium I look at it. I'm hoping it will be Dreb. I got my attention to my phone, it was ringing and my mom was calling me.

"Mom?"

"where are you? Where here in your graduation" it made me smile at least they're here for me. I looked around and finding them. A woman was waving at me with a smile. Mom was very happy, I'm also happy to see them. I run towards them and hugged them tightly. The three of them came here to my graduation. Im so happy that we're all here.

"Thank you for coming mom, Cassie and Kevin"

"congrats Andrea" that's the first time Kevin speak to me that way.

"thanks Kevin" a tear came out on my eyes. "why are you crying?" mom asked me and she wipe them out.

I retuned to my seat and the program started. I smiled as the emcee called out my name. I was on the stage, and I was about to tell my speech when suddenly I fell sad. I think of him again. I think of Dreb again. What if he's here with me?

"Good morning everyone, parents, teachers, visitors and to my fellow students. I Andrea Reyes standing here in front of everyone, I'm really nervous right now and I'm very proud to share my experiences here. First of all I would like to congratulate all of my fellow students including me for finally graduating.  Every beginning has an ending and every ending has a new beginning. When I left Philippines, back then I wasn't sure if what will I get when I return home. I was scared but at the same time excited. When learning here in this university, they are lot of things I've d learn. The Professor's who'd guide until we graduate, thank you. Today I stand here and I am proud to say that I made the right decision to come here. Los Angeles was become my second home, all my friends here thank you for the time we've spent together. Congratulations to us once again. And I wish us all a Goodluck to our future. Good day and thank you. "I finished my speech and it made me cry while making it.

I go down to the stage and I wiped my tears away. Dasha came to me and hugged me.

" we are not graduates, congratulations to us Andrea "a warm hugged she'd give to me.

My mom, Cassie and Kevin went to us and take some photos together with Dasha.

" congratulations Andrea "mom hugged me and I was on tears. It was like a river flowing tears. I couldn't stop it and it just flow.

That day made me realize one thing. It is that promises are meant to be broken. Promises can be made but also it could be broke by someone. It's a commitment made by a person to another and it's a commitment that reinforce the trust of one another.

This day, no one will break me agan. I'll be strong enough and never ever trust people again.

A tear came out on my eyes, as I closed my eyes. I was on my room, I was asleep at the flight. I'm in the Philippines now and I've d moved on. I've gone through a lot and I'll be able to handle such things.

I handle our company as the chairwoman of the company. Our sales of our perfume increases every week. We have the highest and best quality of affordable perfumes. We made to the top brand of perfume every year.

Is this the end of a new beginning?
