UNFULFILLED PROMISE

You were still on the plane reminiscing about your sweet and loving memories with .

***Flashback***
You and were beside each other lying on the grass at the park one evening and you were both looking at the sky. He was holding your hand and saying, "Look at the stars!"
"WOW! It's beautiful!" you were amazed by how wonderful the sky was.
""And so are you!" he looked at you staring into your eyes.
"Wow, that's very sweet of you!" you complimented.
"Do you see that star over there?" he pointed to a star.
"Yeah I see that."
"That star is so bright and that's you!"
"Really? How am I a star?"
"Because you brightened up my life. You're the sweetest thing that ever happened in my life! I don't know what to do with you. I love you !" he kissed your hand.
"I love you too!" he kissed you on the lips.
"Promise me you'll never leave me."
"I promise!" you kissed again.

The plane just landed and your parents were waiting for you in the waiting area. You approached her and she hugged you saying, "I miss you, hun!" and your dad as well. "I miss you too, mom, dad!" you responded. "God, it has been two years since you're gone and you've changed a lot!" your father said gladly. Your father got your suitcases and led you to where the car was parked. You were bantering on the way to the house. When the car reached home you enthusiastically went out of the car and rushed inside to greet your elder sister, . "I'm back!" you shouted as you opened the door. rushed to the door and hugged her younger sister. "I've missed you! How's America?" she asked excitedly. "It was okay. How are you?" you said walking to the living room. Your mother came in and joined your conversation and your dad came in with your suitcases and placed it in your old room and later joined in the conversation. "I'll just go to the kitchen and prepare our lunch!" your mother said getting up. "I'll help you!" you said getting up. Then you went to the kitchen.

While you were in the kitchen, the phone rang. answered it.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Hi ! It's me !"
"Oh hi! Why did you call?"
"I just want to say I miss you!"
"I miss you too!" she was saying those words when you went out of the kitchen.
"I love you too! Bye." she said and you heard it. She hangs up the phone and stared at you looking scared.

You smiled to and said, "Who's that on the phone?"
"It's my boyfriend!"
"Oh, what's his name?"
"His name is�. " She can't think of a name and lied, "His name is ."
"How did you meet him?"
"I met him in school. He's my classmate!"
"Okay. Why don't you invite him to eat dinner with us?"
"I told him but he said he had something else to do. "
"I wonder how he looked like. Is he cute?"
"Yeah. He is!"
"Is he a good man? Did he treat you properly?"
"Of course, why would I be with a man who isn't!"
"Yeah that's right!"
"I want to meet him . When will you bring and introduce him to me?"
"Soon!" she said then your mother came in with the food.
You called your father and you all ate lunch. You still bantered while eating. Then, afterwards you got your suitcase and gave your presents to them. They all liked your presents. Then you went to your room and unpacked your things. Someone knocked on your bedroom door.
"Come in! It's open." You shouted.
came in and shut the door behind her and said, "Did I disturb you?"
"No I was just unpacking. Why?"
"I have nothing to do tonight maybe if you want we'll walk around town and remember the good old days!"
"Sure. I'd be glad too!" you said and she left.
You continued unpacking your things.

Night came and you all ate dinner. Then, walked you in town. You walked in the park and you remembered the night you were with . "Is there something wrong ?" she asked worriedly. You remembered what said to you, "Promise me you'll never leave me." Your eyes become teary and noticed it but you she never bothered you to ask. You never spoke to a word to her. You passed 's house and you stopped. "?" she asked with concern. "Do you want to see him?" continued. "No. I hurt him. I don't think he wants to see me," you said almost crying. Meanwhile, was in the balcony when he saw you two walking. He began to feel awkward to see you again after you left. He went inside the house and lock himself to his room. Meanwhile, you and are now walking back home. When you reach home you quickly ran to your room locked yourself in and jumped to the bed. There you cried and cried the whole night until you fall asleep.

The next morning, you went out of your room and your eyes are swollen. You decided to wear a sunglass to hide your eyes. Then you came down to the kitchen to eat your breakfast. was there eating on the table when you came in. "Good morning, hun!" your father said then he continued reading the newspaper he was holding. "Good morning!" you all greeted everyone in the room. You said to , "You going to work?" "Yeah I am! Do you want to come?" she said. "No thanks," you responded. "What's with the sunglass?" she was curious. "Nothing. I just decided to wore them." Then you ate breakfast with them. After breakfast they all left for their work and you were left alone all by yourself. You were bored to death inside the house so you decided to walk outside. You walked your way going to the park. There you sat on the bench and stared into the grass and reminisce the good old days with . You were there the entire morning until you saw and together walking. You were curious about them so you followed them. You heard their conversation.
"Why didn't you tell me had arrived?" asked her.
"How did you find out she already came back?" she asked curiously.
"I saw the two of you walking last night when you passed by my house."
"Oh I see."
"Did you tell her about us?"
"No I didn't. I was afraid she couldn't accept it and might freak out!"
"Why didn't you tell her?"
"Because I don't want to hurt my her. She's my sister!"
"I understand. Maybe I should be the one to tell her."
"Why would you? She will be back to America soon. She won't find out anything about us!"
You heard everything they talked about and you felt terrible. It feels like your sister betrayed and stabbed you with a knife at your back. You cannot believe what you overheard. You felt sick and so you walked away from them and headed to the park with tears. You sat there alone thinking and sobbing. After several minutes, someone tapped you on the shoulder.

"Excuse me miss. Here!" he handed you a handkerchief. You took it and sobbed. Then he sat beside you and said, "Are you okay? You need my help?" You heard a familiar voice and you glanced at him and were surprised to see . You saw in his face he was surprised too.
"!" exclaimed shockingly. You immediately wiped your tears with his hanky.
"Thank you for the hanky. I appreciate it." You said not knowing how to react to him.
"How are you? Why are you crying?" he asked you like he was concerned.
"Nothing."
"There's something I want you to know." He can't look at you in the eye. He continued, " is now my girlfriend!"
"What? There are a lot of girls in this world but why did you pick my sister? Do you know how that feels? It feels like I'm being betrayed!" you said raising your voice.
"Because she was always there when you left me. She was there all the time you were gone. We did not betray you. It was you who left us!" he said while standing up.
You stood up and said, "I left you because I have to. I just grabbed the opportunity to work to America. It is my dream I just want to fulfill it!"
"So that dream of yours is more important than our love?"
"No! I still love you but I'd already made my decision and I regret the day I let you go."
"You know what? It's too late! I don't love you anymore!"
You kissed him and was walking towards you when she saw you kissing him. So she ran away.
pulled from the kiss and said, "No, this is wrong!"
"I felt that . I know you still love me! Don't deny it."
"No! I don't love you anymore!" he ran away.
You looked at running and then the tears roll down your cheeks.

It was late when you got home. When you entered your room you saw looking angry with you. You stood there beside the bed where she was seated and looked at her.
"Hi ! Are you okay? What's wrong?" you greeted.
"You betrayed me !" she shouted then stood up.
"No ! You betrayed me! Why didn't you tell me about you and ?"
"I never told you because I love you and I don't want to hurt you!"
"You know what you hurt me more than you never know! You know I love !"
"You loved ? Then why did you leave him?"
"Because I have to!"
"You have to? This is entirely your fault! If you did not left then maybe none of this would have happened!" she left.
You cried in your room the entire day. You cannot believe what had happened that day.

The next morning, you went to the dining room and told everyone you were leaving London for good. Everyone in the room was surprised when you told them your decision. felt guilty and told you, "I'm sorry about what I said yesterday!" she said. You interrupted her and said, "No I'm sorry! You're right. It's entirely my fault. I'm sorry I kissed . I won't ever do it again. He told me he loves you so much more than he loved me. Take care of him!" "I will!" she said and smiled. Your parents were concerned about the two of you fighting over a guy. "Tell I'll be leaving tomorrow morning." You left the dining room and went to your room to pack your things. You stayed in the house all day thinking about your life.

The next morning, you got your suitcases and put it in the car. Your family drove you to the airport. You were saying goodbye to everyone.
"Bye dad! I'll miss you!" you hugged your dad. "I'll also miss you, mom!" you also hugged her. She said, "Take care of yourself!" You nodded. You hugged your sister and said, "Take care of mom and dad and too!" "I will I promise!" said. As you were about to leave, came shouting your name. You looked at him and smiled. He hugged you and said, "Take care of yourself!" "You too! Here's your hanky." You handed him your hanky. "Keep it so you can remember me!" he said. "Take care of my sister, will you?" you demanded. "I will, I promise!" he said. "Bye!" you said and left. You held your tears until you were seated on your seat on the plane. You looked at them and cried.

The End!!!
