Gabriel p.o.v
She is beautiful. My heart beating fast as I saw her. Her natural beauty always awaken me inside. She no need to put an heavy make up like other women, but she definitely hold my breath with her charms and innocent. She looks more beautiful and mature after 4 years of her disappearance but she still hold the innocent looks in her eyes.
Xandra keep looking outside the window. We ride in silence. Only the song “Say you won’t let go” by James Arthur playing softly in the car. How I wish I can tell her everything as what in the song. It seems the song was about us. I just sigh. I notice that she is fidgeting her fingers. Her head is down looking. Like she is trying to calm herself down. “Xandra, are you okay?”. She looks at me.., “Yeah.... I’m just fine. Where are we going?”, she lastly asked. “Suprise.... just be patience”. I retorted
I was deeply in love with her but I knew what I have done her last 4 years is unforgivable. I broke her heart after telling her that I love her. I had done the worst thing to her, to the person I love the most. How can I be so cruel. I sigh remembering the day she caught me with a girl in the office. What she don’t know, I hired the girl. She’s a class B actress whom I paid handsomely just to break Xandra heart. She froze looking at us. My heart broke to see she cried. But the most thing broke me when she said “I hope you will be happy as your broke my heart”. Her tears fell down her cheeks uncheked.
Suddenly I hear a clap which brought me back to the reality.
“Hey! Please don’t daydreaming while you are driving. I don’t intend to die young. I have a daughter who is waiting for me. So if you don’t mind...”. She shake her head and rolled eyes. “I’m sorry. Something suddenly storming my mind unintentionally. It won’t happen again”, I apologize.
After an hour and half driving, we reached a gated place. I pushed a remote to open the gate. Once I drive inside the area, Xandra look amuse, her eyes shine brightly when the view of the mansion and the sea comes into our sight. My lips curve in a smile. Once the car stop, she out of it and walking to the beach. She’s looking back at me and smile unconditionally. For the first time after 4 years, she smiling at me. My heart feel warmth and god.... I miss her. I miss her smile. Xandra is an easy going girl who loves travelling. She loves the beaches, the mountain view, the tropical forest and others sort of nature view. She loves the nature. She always held a special in her heart for natures.
Then she look at astonishly, “Private beach? I just nodded. “ You like it?” I asked her. “Like it?...... I love it”. She almost squeal. I’m happy that my plan of bringing her here is working. Making she more relax with me. “So you bought the mansion?” She wryly ask me. “Nope. The beach comes together with the mansion. It was given to me by my grandfather. I spent most of my childhood with my grandfather and grandmother here. I love being here. I love the sea. It is quiet and peaceful here”. I blurted out to her. After grandmother died, my grandfather doesn’t want stay in this house anymore. It reminds him of her. He loves her so much. Before he died, he changed the ownership of the house to me and tell me one day I should be spending my love of my life. She just stared at me and turn around looking at the sea.
I called her out to follow me into the mansion. My butler, Mr Smith and his wife has been taking care of the mansion when I was not around. Xandra looking amazingly at the decoration and interior of the mansion. “Wowwww.... I don’t not imagine the inside will be so elegant and modern. From outside, it looks so looks huge and traditional”. She then looks at me scrunching her nose, “Why do you bring me here? Are you trying to impress me?”. I was shocked but trying myself to keep calm. Then suddenly she smile and stated, “Well, if that the case, I think you successfully impressed me”, and then raising her brow without further comment.
I am just feeling happy with what we have now.
