Why Can't It be?
By Allina Labra
“I’m standing at the front of the Church, watching the love of my life making vows to another man. Yes, it was too late… too late for us.”
2 months ago…
We are walking at the seashore holding each other’s hand, this is life. She is so beautiful although her shiny hair is blocking her heart-curved face with her tiny nose, sweet lips, and her innocent eyes that’s make me feel like I was a teenage boy.
“I’m very lucky to have you” I said
“Don’t give up on me Ellie” She said dramatically, though I was curious about what‘s the meaning of that I just reply. “Of course I won’t, you know how much I love you babe.” With the sincerity in my eyes
“I love you more” with a smile but I see a glimpse of doubt in her.
I remember the first time that I saw her, she was crying on same restaurant where I dumped by not-so-important girl. I would just ignore her, well I think it’s none of my business but there’s something in her that makes me captivated, I thinks it’s her sad eyes that shed a tears in her face. I want to sweep that tears and I want to see her smile. So I stand and walk toward her and gave my handkerchief. I asked her if I could seat beside her. She just stared at me and after awhile she stands and left me.
I wake from my reminiscing on our past because her phone is ringing, she answers it. Angela and whoever on that phone talk for awhile. After she put her cell phone back to her bag, she said to me that it was her father and she needed to go home. I brought her home and after that I go straight to my pad.
I continued to reminisce how we became together after I lay my body on the sofa, it’s very ironic that we saw each other again from unexpected event of my life. It was my father’s funeral that day. I hold my Mom’s shoulder to calm her, when I hear a voice saying “Condolence Tita, I’m sorry for your lost” when I look at the owner of that voice I was in a little shock while my Mom said, “Thank you for coming Angela I know you’re very busy” So she’s the daughter of Mr. Flores my Dad’s best friend, I thought. How come I don’t know her? I asked myself but later I realize that I don’t have much time to visit my family because of my restaurant, so that’s it.
I don’t know what happen but after that encounter I can’t erase her on my mind, so the usual thing I courted her and it’s not so easy but because I’m persistent to be with her, now we’ve been together for about 5 months and I want it to go on forever or perhaps until the day I would die. On that part of reminiscing I fall asleep.
It is almost perfect every day when I’m with her but there’s something I noticed. “Babe you look sad, what’s the problem?” I looked into her eyes. “Babe, you know I won’t stop asking until you tell it to me. Come here I’m listening” I hold her shoulder and I raised her face, I can feel her nervousness. “What now?” I asked her again. She’s ready to say something when tears fall into her right cheek. “I’m sorry” I hug her, while she’s crying she start to say a word about her problem. “Shhhhh.. I understand now so how can I help?” I said after she told me that their company is now at risk. “There’s no need Babe. There’s someone who’s going to help us” she said but she didn’t stop crying. “So there’s no need for that tears Babe, it’s gonna be fine” I added. The last thing that I want to see is to see her crying and I don’t know what to do.
But after I knew the person who’s going to help them and his reason, I suggest something to her. “What if you’d work for me as a manager? For temporary, and that’s your way how to pay me for helping you and your family on your business” I am hoping that she would agree to my suggestion because I don’t want to let someone marry her, because she’s mine. Yes, the billionaire businessman Nathan Lucero the one who insists on helping the company of Mr. Flores wants to marry my girlfriend! And I can’t let that happen. “Okay Babe” She said.
Angela became my manager in one of my restaurant in Global City. She is very effective and responsible on her position and I’m happy because of the mere fact that we can be together while we’re working and as for our deal I help his father on their company, well it’s not so hard because I knew that soon we’re going to be a real family. And helping them is natural. As days gone by I love her more. After our work I invited her, “Babe let’s dine?” and she response, “sure”
And that’s our daily routine but not less than 2 weeks Angela resigned she put an enveloped on my table and I was shocked. Inside those envelope are her personal letter from me and a check worth one and a half million for the replacement of my help. Why? I asked myself. I tried to contact her and I also went to their house but there’s no Angela.
I waited for her… days and weeks passed by but there’s still no Angela. I miss her so much.
Someone knock on the door of my room, “Ellie? Mom’s here, open the door” I’m just gonna ignore her but she said, “It’s about Angela, I’ve got a news about her baby” And I rush on the door and open it. “What about her Mom? Is she okay?” I suddenly ask. But I’m worried about it because Mom didn’t look good, she didn’t answer my question she just hand me a business newspaper and she walk away I look at the newspaper where in the front page are the picture of Angela and Nathan happy together and below of their picture it’s written “BACHELOR NATHAN LUCERO GOING TO BE A MARRIED MAN IN JUST A MONTH” There’s anger in my eyes, I keep asking “why?” but I can’t find the answer or maybe there’s really no answer. I feel betrayed. The woman who I thought was perfect for me and no capability on hurting my feelings is now the reason why my heart is broken. I can’t find a way how to understand them, ‘cause it hurts so much. I cut the newspaper on my bare hands and put it on a trashcan. But I remember what Angela said to me while we’re at the seashore,
“Don’t give up on me Ellie” is this the reason why she told me that? And I made a conclusion, “I would never give up on you Angela!” I shouted. I would fight for her.
This is the day, when I will know the answer to my question. I will fight for the love of my life; I will fight for our love, or maybe I was wrong.
“I’m standing at the front of the Church, watching the love of my life making vows to another man. Yes, it was too late… too late for us.” Now I realized. I saw Angela at the altar she looks happy with him. Our eyes met but she looks like she saw a ghost in behalf of me and then I smile and gave her a flying kiss. They’re now moving forward heading to the exit, she walks towards me and hug me she says, “Thank you and I’m sorry” And as a reply I hold her shoulder and give her a quick kiss on her head, I brought her back to her husband. I’m ready to set her free. “See you at the reception” Nathan said for awhile. “Sure” I reply.
Nathan and Angela loved each other so much and I’m happy for them. Angela and I were never meant for each other I might found my true mate on my journey, soon.
Atleast for now, one of us are happy… Love is sacrifice especially if it is for the happiness of your love.

Where’s your parents?” she just stare at me, I saw Angela and Nathan coming, I stand, “Hi Ellie” Nathan said. I accept his hand shake. “Is this your daughter?” I mention the cute girl.”Yes” Angela replies when someone said on my back, “Hon am I late?” I look at the owner of that familiar voice; she’s my fiancée, my one great love. Yes, I found my mate and my destiny. Now I know why it can’t be…
