Happy Valentine's Day —Short Story

Her POV

I am swaying my hips slowly following the melody of the music while writing down the message on the cake that I baked.

"Happy Valentine's Day my love! It's been 3 years since we met and my love for you is still the same. Slowly growing day by day

—From your Future Mrs. Aidan Escobar "

I read the message once again and I can't help myself but to shriek in happiness. I am so excited for Valentine's Day tomorrow! He didn't know that I will visit him at his house since I am planning a surprise. I am starting to wonder how he would react, will he be surprised? Shocked? Or he will blush?? Aghhhh! I don't care anymore as long as he will love it!

I started to clean the mess that I've made in the kitchen cheerfully La-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la. After that, I did my evening routine and decided to sleep.

"Tomorrow will be a memorable day!! I'm so freaking exciteddd!"

I muttered to myself before closing my eyes.

Valentine's Day

Once I wake up, I checked my phone thinking that my boyfriend greeted me a Happy Valentine's day...but none. I grinned widely because I can feel that he has some surprise for me...AGAIN which he usually does in 3 years of our relationship. I quickly prepared myself and my gift for him before calling a taxi.

When I came to their house, I called out his name but instead of him coming out, his mother showed off. I greeted her first and kissed her puffy cheek before asking where Aidan is.

"Auntie? where is Aidan? I am here to surprise himm!"

"He's not here hija, actually he left so early. I thought he's going at your place to surprise you like he usually does"

"Oww but he didn't come to my place earlier auntie"

I think of the places he usually went by when I remembered that he last surprised me at his condo. That might be a special place for him. After realizing that, I immediately bid thank you and goodbye to my future mom before going on.

At His Condo

I arrived at Boulevard Condominium at exactly 9 am. I waste no time, I ride an elevator and pressed the 3rd floor. After hearing the opening sound of the elevator, I quickly go to his room number...Room-0314. I jumped happily after realizing that I am right! He is here! Without making any noise I opened the door.

"Happy Valentine--- da-"

I became frozen at the sight that I'm seeing, tears began to form in my eyes.

Aidan is kissing.... another woman....his ex-lover.

I saw him stunned, he quickly push the girl after realizing that I am in the scene. He tried to go near me and explain but my mind and heart told me to run away. So I did, I ran. I heard him shouting my name but I don't want to look back. I exited the building and chose to walk past on the road not minding how ugly I look or miserable I am.

His POV

When I heard that voice, I get back to my senses. I quickly pushed my ex and saw my girlfriend. I can see the pain, betrayal, and sadness in her eyes. I want to explain everything to her but she chose to run. I shouted her name but she doesn't look back.

I chose to follow her to tell her how sorry I am. For being such a man she despises so bad. I saw her crossing the road trying to get away from me but I also saw how the truck crushed her small frame body.

Present Time

I opened my eyes after reminiscing that painful moment of my life. I can't help myself but cry my heart out. It is my fault, I am the one to be blamed. I should be the one to be punished and not her. She deserves everything and I deserve nothing. Even though I regret doing that to her my whole life, that doesn't change the fact that I chose to cheat rather than to stay faithful and loyal.

"I'm sorry baby, I'm so sorry, Please forgive me"

I cried at her tomb like a child.

After spending my whole day at her tomb, I stand up and said...

"Today is your death anniversary my love, Happy Valentines Day. I love you and I'm so sorry."
