Destiny - This is our Fate

Chapter 5 - When I first met Ge-an I can feel the connection

Luz POV

I pick up Maria at the Fountain Garden at 7:00 in the evening, while we were walking on our way I look at the Young Lady, I can see the loneliness she is feeling inside. She is about to marry someone she doesn't even love. Even if I only work for their family she's been always good to me, She is my friend and like a sister and it makes me sad seeing her like this.

As we got nearer the house I feel worried for her "Your father is mad already faster" I told her because her father and their visitors had been waiting for her for for an hour now.

Upon entering I remove Senyorita Maria and she went directly to the dinning area, I can see from afar that all the eyes are on her as she enters the room.

Maria's father stand up and went in front of her "Maria where did you go?" with his high tone

"We've been waiting for you for a long time" her mother said dissapointedly as she stands up from her seat and face Maria

Gaston went beside Maria "The caretaker said you went to the church" he said with his dark eyes looking at Maria

"Why didn't you bring Luz with you?" her father again with now calmer voice

"Have you forgotten sweetheart? Today is the night for our pamamanhikan" Gaston said in low voice but still with fiery eyes

Maria look at the people sitting around the dinning table, everyone is looking at her in disappointment as if she did a very huge mistake.

Her father feeling the tension "Anyway lets eat. Our in laws may be hungry" he said with a smile as he go back to his sit to lessen the bad atmosphere

"Ah yeah"  Maria's mother seconded and turns her head to Maria "Ah Maria my daughter maybe you can get the soup" she then went to her sit with gaston and apologized for the delay of their agenda

While Maria walks her way to get the soup but as she turns around she saw Gaston looking at her full of Anger in his eyes.

All I can do is tap her shoulder as I look into her with mixed emotion of hurt, sadness and emptiness.

Maria POV

"Why did't you came" Ge-an words makes my blood boil

"What!!? You are the one who never came!" I said with a high tone 

"I am there, I went their early" she said with a calming voice

"I did not see you, I also went their early" I said as I recall the earlier event

FLASHBACK

I arrive at the Fountain Garden at exactly 5'o clock in the afternoon, I sit in a bench near the bridge looking in the lake with full of excitement and hapiness, I do not know know why but I'm really looking forward in seeing her.

I look at my watch it is almost 6'o clock, I can feel my heart beating louder and faster. I decided to walk around to look for that certain person.

I was passing by the bridge going to a bench when I saw a light from my behind and heard a footstep coming near me.

I can't help but smile as I turned around slowly "Ge-an..." As I fully saw whats behind me a while ago I frown due to my disappointment because its not the one I was expecting to come.
