I love You, Goodbye

Chapter 1

Nikki's POV

Four Years Ago

"Do you still love him?" Chloe asked me.

"No, I don't love him. I move on." I said in a calm voice.

"Don't deny! I have known you since high school."

"Stop! It's enough, I'm done talking to you." I saw his eyebrow rise before turning around and walking away.

She's Chloe, my longtime best friend. She has long black hair, dark eyes, and a pointed nose. She knows me very well. She's right I still love him, I remember those words. "He said he will never love me again." I am still hurt by what he did to me.

I was no longer aware of the tears falling on my face. I don’t know why I’m crying, maybe because I’m still hurting at the bottom of my heart. I wiped the tears from my face and stood up to pick up the bottle of wine. I took a glass and filled it with wine. I swallowed with pleasure as I felt the hot liquid in my throat. I feel the bitterness of wine like my heart is full of sadness and will never be happy.

I smiled, I knew he was happy now. The next time we meet again I swear, you pay me for what you did to me. I love you but I will force myself to hate you.

For me, you are just a mosquito that I want to strike and tickle in my palms. I just felt my face get wet from my tears.

I rubbed my palms on my face and laughed. Why do I cry for people that don’t love? I am Nikki, beautiful and sexy. From now on I will restrain my heart that you should no longer be loved.

I walked up the stairs and entered my room. When the door opened I immediately lay down on my bed. My eyes widened and my tears continued to flow.

I slapped my mattress to relieve the pain that I was feeling. I did not realize that I was drowsy.

I got a headache because maybe I got drunk last night. I was still a bit dizzy but I forced myself to stand up. I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. I put on my bathrobe and looked at myself in the mirror. From now on, no one will hurt me anymore. My phone rang so I answered it quickly.

"Hello, can you go to the condo, help me, to make a cake please."

He gave me the address so I wrote it down on a piece of paper. He immediately turned off the call so I could not speak. I got off and was sitting on the sofa first.

"Daughter, shall I reward you with coffee?" Manang asked.

"Okay." I said to manang.

She is manang Florita, she is the only one with me in the house. Since I was a child when my parents died in a car accident. She was my parent who stood up without manang, my life was probably miserable..

"Daughter, come here your food is ready, you can eat now before getting cold." I heard manang call me so I quickly went to the kitchen.

"Have you eaten yet?" I asked manang. saw that she just nodded while washing the plate.

After I ate I went up to my room. I picked up the red dress with a cut on the thigh side and wore red sandals. I also put red lipstick on my lip. I laughed when I saw myself in the mirror. It looks like I was going to war because I was wearing all red.

I sat on the sofa, I saw the looks of manang with a furrowed eyebrow.

"Daughter, why are you wearing like that? A beautiful woman is better if she just looks simple," said Manang.

"Does that mean I'm not beautiful?" I asked manang while I hugged her.

"You're so young, you're beautiful. If Travis was here, he would not allow you to wear like that."

I was feeling sad because Manang still remembered Travis even though it was four years ago. I thought Travis had a family now.

I saw that Manang took a handkerchief and looked like she was going to wipe it on my lips. I just kissed her and then ran away from the house.

Because manang doesn't want to have red lipstick on my lip. It was as if my snout had been slapped.

I left the house and took a taxi. I went to the mall first and bought a watch. I bought the Gucci that Chloe had long dreamed of having. We are both stingy so we can't buy what we want.

We are both rich but she is richer than me. When I bought it, I immediately took a taxi. When I went inside, I smelled manong's fragrant car. When I looked at him, he wasn't an old man, but he looked like a young driver.

"Yes ma'am,” I saw a driver smilling at me. He must have noticed that I looked straight at his face.

"How old are you?" I ask him.

" I am Travis Jr. twenty five years of age, single and ready to mingle. How about you ma'am?"

It's rare that they actually have the same name as my ex. When is the time really teasing now. I just asked about his age but he said a lot of things.

"I am Nikki," I said to him. I saw him smiling at me.

"Are you single ma'am? I think we will introduce my brother to you. My brother is still single for four years."

I heard his phone ring so he answered it quickly. "I'm coming Kuya, I have a passenger named Nikki, maybe it's your ex but it looks rude! Hahaha."

I heard him laugh as he looked at me. I raised my eyebrow. I saw his silence. "Calm down,'' I whispered to myself. The driver is too talkative. I just ignored him and took the piece of paper from the bag and handed it to him. I was also in the car for a few hours before arriving at Chloe's condo.
