The Male Lead's Childhood Friend

I have love one man since I was a young girl. I promised myself that I would be the one to be his wife that will live with him to the end of our days. But I never thought thar I would die young. The man I have ever loved, my childhood friend fell in love with a woman he just met in college. With my wealth and power and my rival just an ordinary woman, I tried to steal him back. But all is for naught, because the man that I loved shunned me out because of the bad thing I have done to his one true love. "Starting now I don't want to ever see you again!" His words had broken my heart. I was heart broken and planned to take escape to another country and bury my love for him. How could I have known that I would die in a plane crash that day. "Have a safe flight... to the afterlife hahaha!!!" The voice of the woman that stole my love from me said on the phone. And then things turns for the worse. Manu things came rushing inside my mind while the plane was falling from the sky at a fast speed. "How I wish that I have lived my life differently. I would have done any means possible to avoid this outcome. I should have lived my life more differently." Regret washed over me and then I felt my body go numb all over. The surroundings became dark. It was like I was floating in the center of nothingness. "Do you regret everything you have done?" A male voice said. "Yes." I whispered a reply. "Would you like another chance to live and live your life more differently?" The voice asked. "I would do everything to have another chance to live my life. I will definitely choose a different path." I answered. "Then I will grant your wish." The male voice said. "But once you go back, you need to do things for me as payment for bringing you back." And so I opened my eyes once more. I was alive again and has gone back to the past. "This time I will do things differently." I promised myself. Who ever that voice came, I am grateful to him. And so I have a restart of my life. And one day a beautiful man with black hair and crimson eyes came before me. "Who are you?" I asked with a serious look. "Have you forgotten me already." The man smirked. "I have given you a second chance and now I am here to collect payment. You have to do the tasks I give you." And so my rebirth and second chance of life started and my life debt has to be repaid.

Moving On (1)

That night my mom and dad came home from work. They have heard that Jeremy came by to visit me but they didn't know what happened that left me in tears.

"Oh my baby, your eyes are swollen. What happened?" Mom asked with a worried tone.

"Did you and Jeremy get into a fight again?" My dad asked and patted my head. "Don't worry. I am sure Jeremy will coax you in no time. He always does."

The fight my dad mentioned was more of me being a spoiled brat towards Jeremy. If ever Jeremy doesn't do or buy the things I want, I get into a tantrum and Jeremy will always coax me after.

"It's not that Dad. Well, mom, dad I have something to tell you." I said forcing a smile.

I have cried all afternoon and my tears have almost dried up, resulting to my swollen eyes. I sat up straight and looked at my parents seriously. They saw me being serious so they waited for me to speak up.

"Mom, dad, I want to break the engagement with Jeremy." I said at last. After saying such things, I felt a huge weight being lifted up from deep inside of me.

Both my parents had wide eyes in shock.

"Dear, are you sure about this?" Mom was the first one to talk. "I mean, I know how you like Jeremy a lot."

"Yes, I do like him. But mom, he doesn't see me the same way." I explained. "After all the years we have been together, he has only seen me as a little sister."

"Even so, your relationship with him is good." Dad said. "Not all arranged marriage forms into love. But if you have mutual trust, respect and understanding with one another, then the relationship will work and it will last more than relationships built with love."

I lowered my head, not wanting to look at my dad. I have promised to take the blame on this one. I don't want Jeremy to look bad just because he has fallen in love with someone else.

But I guess dad sensed something. "Unless Jeremy had done something he shouldn't have. Tell me Ana, what did he come here for?" I cringed with my dad's domineering tone. "Don't tell me he came here to break your engagement because of some girl he just met?!"

My dad's voice was angry. He really had a good intuition on things and that is what makes our business flourish.

"Preposterous!" My dad shouted and stood up. "He had the nerve to date another woman while being engage with my daughter! This is pure adultery. I will call the Copper couple and tell them of their son's womanizing act!"

"No dad! Please wait." I grabbed his hand before he was able to take a step away. "It really is my fault. It was my entire fault. I was the one who insisted on this engagement. Jeremy has never given his own opinion in this and just agreed to the engagement you and his parents decided. It was my own whimsical mistake."

"And you have the nerve to defend him. Ana you should hate him for what he has done." Dad was fuming with anger.

"Honey, let's listen to what Ana has to say. Okay?" Mom said calmly. This was one of my mom's special skills, how to calm my raging father's temper.

My dad sighed deeply and took his sit once more. I breathed in to explain myself further.

"Mom, dad, it is not Jeremy's fault that he has fallen in love with another woman. Because in the first place what we have was only sibling love." I explained. "It was only my wishful thinking that it can be more. It was only one sided love in my part."
