"You're being clingy," I tease Jal, I just took few minutes to check the whole resort, and he suddenly call.

"Just tell me where are you?!" he asked sharply, I laughed after that, and I heard him sigh.

"Fine, I'm here at the seashore."

I dropped the call after he confirmed that he'll be here in a minute, I sit on the sand. I already wanna see the whales! When will be our scuba?

I just want to freshin' myself. Last night is my best and greatest night. That was three hot times. I can stop but to smile every time my mind cross that scenario again.

"You left with telling me Ahra. You're making me worry!"

I look at the guy who I loved the most, he's eyeing me carefully. I grinned and walks towards him, the wind blew my hair and half of my hair went to my face.

"Im sorry okay," I tryna fix my hair, and i saw him looking at me like i am the most beautiful girl in the world. The way he look at me, seems like he praises me.

"You can tell me, so I can join you," he said, pulling my hips near him. I giggled.

"Sorry okay? I already wanna try scuba," I pouted.

"You're excited that much huh?"

I nodded quickly and he planted a swift kiss on my cheeks.

"Okay, i'll tell them to ready the gears," he held my hands and intertwined it. I smiled and lean on his arms.

A relationship like this, is the most sweetest relationship for me.

And he really true to his words. We ride a yacht, owned by Dexter Mondelvalle, and we scuba. The reefs are beautiful. After an hour oue session ended because we need to go at the spot where the whales are found.

When we reach it, I'm to amaze. The view is fascinating, I look like a winner of a lottery because of my reaction. The whales are showing, baby and the mother whale. The water from their noses makes me clap.

"That was awesome," i said while combing my hair. I am facing the mirror while thinking about the places we went. We're going home tomorrow early, and tonight, we're going to attend a party that will be held here.

Jalius told me it's his close friend who invited us. He didn't even expect to see his friend here, today is his birthday so we're invited.

"Where are we going next?" he asked, getting the comb on my hand, he started combing my hair I smirked. My heart fluttered at that. Why so sweet my boyfriend?

"Hmm? Japan," i laughed.

"Okay then," he said so serious. My eyes rounded because of that, i look at him he only smiled and kiss my head.

"Everything for my princess,"

"But promise me, you're going to work again. Under San Diego,"

He nodded. "Ofcourse. And while you are studying, I'll earn money for our tickets. We can travel around the world , Love. If that what makes you happy. Just keep in mind my rules," he said.

I nodded and assure him that. I look at his reflection in the mirror.

"I love you," i said sincerely.

He smiled. Looking at my reflection too.

"I love you so much. So much," he said.

We continue talking while fixing ourself. I wore matte dress and flatshoes. He's in his poloshirt and faded jeans and topsider, simple yet everyone can drool over his handsomeness. His charisma is overflowing in his body. He's holding my waist while we're walking to our way to the convention hall where the party will be held.

They have limited attendees, I noticed that because of vacabt seats and table. We go to Jalius friend after that.

"Happy Birthday Jae," and they do fist bump. The man in his late thirties smile widely.

"By the way, this is my girlfriend. Ahra Claveria," he said proudly.

The guy gave me his hand. I take it formally.

"Ahra Claveria," i said decently.

"Jae Lim. You're gorgeous," he complimented.

"Of course," Jalius said and removed the hand of his friend on mine. And replaced it with his hands, I can feel his irritation. God his mood!

Is he jealous? Oh god!

"By the way, how's work?" Jae started to change the topic. They talked about the business, while we are sitting at VIP seat, the wines and foods are serving by the waitress and waiters.

They're laughing maybe because of their topic. I am smiling minute by minute, especially when they're teasing Jal.

The atmosphere is light, until one girl enter the group.

"Hey," she shyly kiss my boyfriend's cheeks. My brows rose, didn't she noticed me? We're almost hugging, and she have the guts to do that?

"Bela," Jalius is shock because of the girl.

I look at his reaction, he really is so shocked.

"Hey Griffin,"

My eyebrows rose even more. Griffin huh?

"The rumors are true huh?" the girl said, crossing her arms, looking at me. She smiled fakely to me, she have curcly hair leveled to her shoulder, nice tone checkbone and her cleavage make my eyebrows paltipate in irritation.

"What are you doing here Bela?" Jae asked, he also feel the tension.

"I'm here to tell Jalius Griffin. That i found his Mom in Barcelona. He married an Italian citizen, and already have kids. She's rich, but sick," the woman look at Jalius. I saw how Jalius got shocked.

I didn't understand but i feel something's wrong here.

"And she wants to see you," now she's serious.

"I dont want to see her," I saw how his features darken, and the sound of frustration is very evident. And I know behind that reaction, is the fact that he longed for her.

"She's sick Jalius!"

"I dont care," he said mercilessly.

The woman laughed irritatingly.

"I know you wanted to see your Mom. You can't lie at me Jalius. I know how you longed for her, i know how you cried so hard to plead your Grandpa just to see her, i know all your sacrifices Jalius. And because of that.....kid!?" Bela glared at me. "...you're going to throw everything on waste?!"

"Stop it Bela. You're not helping," Jalius said stood up, he hold my hand and I stood up as well.

"Bela, stop making a scene. You're ruining my party," Jae interfere.

"I dont care Jae. I just want to tell your friend that he's blinded and too busy baby sitting a brat--"

I can't let her humiliating me, I get the glass of water and throw it on her. The water stopped her from speaking.

"Much better," i said calmly. I crossed my arms, looking at her with no emotion.

"How dare you!" she's hysterically looking at me, panicking but angry, seems like she can pull my hair at this moment. But i think she has class so she wont start a cat fight here.

"Ahra, lets go," I felt his gentleness, the way he held my elbow.

"Okay," I just said, because I didn't wanna start a fight here as well.

We walked out from the hall, and enter an elevator, but i wont let my pride eat me.

"Let go," I'm too cold.

"Come on Love. I'm sorry," he said while looking at me, I am still eyeing the door of the elevator.

"You didn't even tell me that you let someone find your Mom. The only thing I knew is you wanted to find her,"

"I dont find it necessary-"

"You dont find it necessary? Or you don't trust me enough, that's why you hide it from me!" My voice is shaking because of frustration.

"Its not like that Ahra," he's also being hot headed.

"Whatever,"

The door opened and I went out. I go to our suite and stay at the bathtub, I don't wanna went out. I heard him knocking the bathroom's door but I'm not planning to open it.

After an hour I went out. I saw him at the bed sitting and thinking deep, and looking at nowhere. I felt the guilt once more.

But I didn't show him that. I know, I am being unfair, right now. I should let him do that, he's just a child longing for his Mom, I should support him finding his mom. I should understand him. And why am I being furious because of it?

"Ja,l" my voice is now, calm.

He look at me, he stood up and walks towards me.

"Look im sorry, I told her before to stop looking for my Mom, but she didn't listen,"

My heart felt envious. That Bela girl, is trying to find his Mommy. And what am I doing? Did I even deserved to be called as a girlfriend of Engineer Jalius Griffin Mondelvalle? The first thing I did to him, is to took his job away. And right now, I am taking away his rights to fins his mom.

Am i this evil just to have him?

"You didn't wanna see your Mom? She find her," I can taste my own bitterness.

I saw the sadness on his eyes, he didn't answer me though.

"I know you want to see her Jal," my voice brokes.

He look at me, directly in my eyes.

"Ahra. If I'm going to see her, I wanted you to be there,"

There. Thats the real thing, he wanted to see his mom.

"You can visit her, I'm not going to stop you. I just wished you told me earlier about Bela finding your Mom, so I am ready for it,"

He caressed my arms.

"I dont know, if i'll go and see her. I just wanted to be with you," he said.

I dont answer him, i doubt it.

Our stay at Donsol, I can't stop thinking about his Mom. While we're on our way home, we're both silent. I don't wanna start to convey, because I know I'll get hurt.

If he ask my permission to go there. I'll get hurt, i cant live a day without him. But if he'll be happy, who am I to stop him?

He also told me last night that he wanted to be with me when he go to Barcelona. But how can they bond if I'm there?

I stopped thinking about it when my phone ring, I answered the call. Its my friend, Sassy.

"Sas," I just said.

"Hey babe" she always call me like that. She's my closest friend so far.

"Why you called?" I asked.

She sigh heavily. "I'm here at Castilla, im with my Ate"

Ate? Our Secretary?

I look at Jalius, he's staring at me bit by bit. His brows are shut.

"Where at Castilla?"

"Khal Mondelvalle's mansion,"

My eyes rounded, Jalius still driving in a shut brows. We're almost near the mansion, that's why my heart can't stop from beating so fast. I am not afraid because our Secretary is there, I'm afraid because of their reasons.

We got there after few minutes. I walked faster to reach the door, I went in and saw at the wide common area, our Secretary, Sassy and the Nieves and Raf were talking.

"Miss Ellaira," the Secretary bowed.

"Why are you here?" the shock can't leave my voice.

"Your father got confined,"

My eyes rounded! What the hell!

"When that happened?!" i asked, my voice is shaking. I'm afraid alright.

"Its been a week babe. And you need to see him, before its too late. He didn't wanna bother you here, but Big Sister, insisted."

I look at our Secretary. She nodded.

"He's in a bad shape Ahra. You need to come home, with us,"

I am silent for a minute, I felt Jalius comforting hand at my shoulder, I look at him, and the tears blurred my eyes.

Starting today, everything will be blur. For sure.

"Its alright," Jalius said in soft voice.

"Everything will be okay" he said and hugged me, but I cant hug him back.

I didn't have any strength to hig him. All i want to do, is to see my father. That's it.
