His smile was not fake

• | Adriel's POV | •

The car stopped in front of Allen's house. I was suddenly overwhelmed when I learned that I would see Allen's family, especially his mother.

Allen and I got out of the car together. He went inside first while I was just staring at the outside of their house.

"Ma'am Adriel, come in." Manang Sesil said smiling.

I nodded and went inside. I was surprised when I was greeted by mama's tight hug.

"How's that kid?" He asked.

His smile was not fake. It was so very natural that I felt like I had committed no sin.

"I-it's good mom."

"Good to hear, come on let's eat."

Even before he left, I stopped him.

"Why son?"

"Ahm, aren't you mad at me?"

He held my arms. "Why should I be angry? Forget it son. And I know what my son wants from you, I hope you understand him."

At the same time as I smiled, I hugged mama tightly. After we talked he led me to the dining table.

And I was so shocked when I saw Faith smiling now. He ran closer to me. Her naturally curly hair is still wavy as she runs.

"Oh my god Faith is that here?" I was shocked by the question.

Faith has been my friend ever since. He is Allen's cousin. Because he wanted us to endgame, I got the idea from him to marry Allen.

That's a big issue for everyone to know. But it also disappeared immediately. That was also the reason Faith left. I blame myself too much because it's all my fault.

"Gaga isn't it obvious? I'm already here or very fresh!" We laughed together.

"Or he'll talk later and let's eat." Smiling mama said.

We all sat down. Allen and I sat next to him and his sister Bevei was in front of me. In front of Allen was mama and next to Bevei sat Faith.

"Ahm mama si papa po?" I asked.

"He was still outside because one of his business partners called, it was just fast."

I nodded. I smiled at Bevei who was now toying with the spoon she was holding.

"Hello Bevei." Bati ko.

"H-hello p-po a-a-ate Adi, I m-miss ... you p-po."

I smiled at her widely. Bevei is a special child. Everyone loved him dearly especially his older brother Allen.

"I miss you too, I'm sorry I didn't bring you a cake. I didn't know we were going here." I said sadly.

I saw his sweet smile. "O-okay lang po y-yon ate ..."

"It's good that Allen kept our word." Faith suddenly gasped. "Do you know I called him almost ten times to convince him to pick you up?"

Only now did I understand that Allen picked me up because of Faith’s order. I thought we would be okay. I thought he would forgive me after that because he made the first move on me. But I just thought it was all over.

I suddenly lost my appetite.

It was eleven o'clock when we decided to go home. My gabe was happy because Faith told me a lot and she also greeted us all a lot.

"Mom, Dad, we're going home."

"Be careful." Dad said with a hug. I also hugged mom, Faith and Bevei.

Faith was the only one who was busy taking us to the outside of the house. My step was weak because I could hear Allen's sigh.

"Isn't that still coming home to you?" Faith asked with a raised eyebrow.

I shook. "No."

"Tss, what kind of wife is that? If I'm you, Adi, I'll look for someone else. You can see my value, and of course you love me."

I stared at Faith sharply as Allen turned to her with a frown.

"Oh why do you look like that? Don't you like Adi? I have so many foreigner friends who are looking for a Filipina wife, I'll retire Adi."

"Can you please shut your mouth? You're such a talkative person, I hate it." Allen sighed.

"Eh what now? If you don't want Adi, file an annulment. Adriel is worth it and he doesn't deserve you."

"Faith ..." I disobeyed.

I could see the anger on Allen's face because of what Faith was saying. Only now have I seen Allen get angry with reason. Calm but angry.

"My boyfriend is a good lawyer, just call me in case you want to file an annulment so that you can get rid of this man."

After Faith said it went inside. Well, I won't be surprised at what Faith is up to because she's really like that even before. Even if he is his own blood, he can bring me down, he knows he is on the right side.

I caressed Allen's arm but I was surprised when he pushed my hand away.

"I'm not going home."

When he said 'no, he immediately got into his car and pulled it out quickly.

He left me in this situation. This is how our relationship has always been. I picked up my cellphone to call Ellen but the improper’s phone turned off.

I had no choice but to walk until I could get out of the subdivision. I hope I have another ride.

My hair stands on end from the cold. My tancha is raining it because it was already shady. I quickened my pace because the rain might catch up with me.

I was on the dark side of the road when I felt someone following me. Even if I wanted to turn around, I was scared. I walked even faster until I felt like I was running.

I didn't make a mistake with someone following me. I'm leaving the subdivision. I would have asked for help from the guard but no one was there. I wasted no more time. I ran but I was also pushed back by someone who blocked my path.

Its ichura is frightening. The eyes look drunk and red. I'm scared, I'm too scared. Neither are you human beings, not even vehicles.

"Hi miss ..." A man whispered while looking straight at me.

I backed away but my back fell on the chest of another man holding a small knife. I couldn't stop the tears from forming in my eyes so they fell at the same time.

"You smell nice.."

"I'll give you, I want you to live longer."

"Stay away from me! Don't touch me!" I shout.

I was just crying crying. "Allen!" I shout.

My voice was almost shattered by the scream but no one could still hear me.

"Allen help me please! Allen!" I shouted.

"You're so noisy!" The man punched me hard in the stomach twice causing my knees to soften.

A man took off my heels and I felt every kiss of it on my feet.

I could no longer see the other events when my vision suddenly darkened.
