To Where You are

Chapter 11

"Buddy, your children are here," Mr.Delfin said when he saw them.

"My children are following us." his father said, laughing.

Her attention was on Ethan's.

She then stepped closer to him. She noticed that Imee's hand was on Ethan's thigh, could not escape her eyes.

"It's late. Mother said, we need to fetch you up," she said with a piercing look at the woman. It seemed to scare her away from Ethan.

"All right, I'm just waiting for father to finish," he said as he stood up and said goodbye to those in front of him.

Bela gave Imee a sharp smirk before turning away. Ethan put his arm around her. She just let it go and ignores it.

When they got home, she quickly removed his hand from her shoulder, and she went straight upstairs.

Ethan followed her.

She does not move. Her face was serious.

She even slammed the toilet door shut when she entered and exited.

"Are you mad?" Ethan asked, looking at her. It just follows her with a look.

"I'm sorry if father and I didn't get home right away. It's as embarrassing if I will stop the old man when he is still enjoying himself," he explained.

She ignored what he said. Still silent, she shook the pillow. She had no intention of hiding her annoyance from the man.

"Bela ..."

"Can you take a shower before you go to bed and you still have the smell of alcohol? Even the scent of Imee has already clung to you.

"I can smell it, it's cheap," she added, annoyed, and lay down.

Ethan smiled and sniffed himself.

"I know I smell like alcohol but I don't know that Imee's smell has stuck to me."

Annoyed, she covered herself with a blanket and then hide beneath it.

"Are you jealous?" Ethan asked.

"What?" she seemed to ask suddenly.

"Are you jealous of Imee? He repeated his question.

She quickly removed the covered blanket and sat down in front of the man.

"Why should I be jealous? I don't care if you kiss that Imee or hug her," there was anger in her voice.

"My point is, everyone knows we're a couple. My parents are also proud of you and then they'll see that you're just flirting with that Japayuki."

"You mean, it's okay for me to flirt with Imee as long as it's in a private place and no one can see," the voice seemed annoyed as it added.

Her nose almost smoked with anger at what he said. She quickly lay down again and covered herself.

"You take care of your life, I don't care!" she said, and even heard Ethan's soft laugh before going to the toilet to take a shower.

One day before the fiesta, Marge arrived in Baguio with her son and children. Bela was so happy to see her friend again.

"You know, Ethan is really handsome," Marge whispered while they were on the terrace. From there, they watched Ethan and Tony, with her father and siblings, having a drink.

She looks at the man. There was a feeling in her chest, but she immediately erased it.

"You know what, what if at the end you will be the one he's staying with?" said Marge, who seemed even more thrilled to say that.

Bela frowned when she turned to her friend.

"Oh my gosh, Marge!"

"We both know, don't we?" After all, you used to love him, or maybe even now. "

Bela was dumbfounded.

"Marge, we can't go back to whatever we've been in a relationship with before."

"And you don't really plan on getting married again?"Her friend's eyes widened as she told her."Don't you want Arabella to grow up with a father?"

Sadly, she glanced at her daughter, who was quietly sleeping in the stroller. Her mother and Alma were in the market, so they also left the child with her.

"Arabella's father is dead," she said with a pain seen on her face.

"Oh my gosh, Bela. Give yourself a chance to be happy. Forget the past, the important thing is the present," her friend advised.

"I have buried long in oblivion my feelings for Ethan, but now that he's here, I know it's not for me and Arabella but it's to take back what his father left for us," she said sadly.

Marge raised an eyebrow. "Well, there's only one thing I want to know, don't you really love him anymore? Is there really no chance for your family to be together?"

"I don't know. I'm confused right now. I'm having a hard time, especially since Ethan is here. I don't want to make mistakes again, I don't want to get hurt."

Marge held out her hand."Everything and people in the world are changing, Bela. You know, Ethan could be a good family man."

"Maybe, but that's not his purpose here."

Marge shrugged and looked again at her husband and Ethan. Her gaze also follows by Bela. Once again, there was the strong pounding of her chest as he stared at Ethan. She felt scared. She felt the same way when she loved him.

"Ethan." cry of her heart.

Bela loved Ethan, then. And she cannot deceive herself.

The love she had was still there in her heart to this day.

Yes, to this day, she still loves the man.
