Fast Forward

Afterwards, 2014 came in an instant. It’s already twelve midnight.

 

At the Del Ruiz’s

Allyrine busy munching the Media Noche dishes in front of her, suddenly interrupted by the alarming sound of her phone. She unwillingly fished her phone in her pocket to discover who the hell was calling her.

“Happy New Year, mi amour.”

(Oh, it was André)

“Happy 1st of 2014, my love.”

“I just called to greet you and say I love you Mrs. Concepcion. Haha!”

“Are you referring to your mom? Haha!”

“Somewhat… Mom of my future kids.”

“Whatever.”

“It’s that how you express your love for me? Aren’t you glad to flip the page 1 of 365 with an ‘I love you’ from your André?”

“Dré, you’re too dramatic. It isn’t a good start for 2014. Haha! Do I have to state the obvious?”

“I just want to hear---“

Just before he could finish his statement, Ally interrupted.

“I love you, future hubby. Happy now?”

“I am, wifey. Just tell tito and tita I greet them a happy new year as well.”

“Same to your mom. Bye for now. Kisses!”

“Kisses received. Bye, wifey.”

André hung up the phone while THE Allyrine Del Ruiz was back to her business.

Meanwhile…

At the Von Staddis’

Kaye being left alone in the house, flopped herself in her bed. She slept deeply when a phone call interrupted her good sleep. Groggily, she picked it on her bedside table and answered.

“Who’s this?” Clueless of the identity of the caller.

A familiar voice greeted her happily. “It’s Enzo. Happy new year, Kaye!”

“Oh. Same to you!” She murmured monotonously.

“You seem cold to me, my princess.”

“Sorry! My parents aren’t here while Jeron is still in his office, busy with tons of paper works maybe. I’m left alone in this mansion, missing Jeric’s presence. He always greets me first a ‘happy new year’ and together we’ll leap at 12 mn. Now, longing and loneliness is all I could feel.”

“I’m here for you, my princess. Okay?”

“I’m really sorry, my prince.  I prefer being alone now.”

“Who said you’re alone?”

In an instant, someone knocked on her door of her room. Who could it be? Bubbled in her thoughts. Maybe, the maids.

“Surpriiiiiiiiise!” Enzo enthusiastically said.

Before any word come out of her mouth, he put a finger above her soft lips.
