Her smile was unfathomable.

I watched her and Thirdy build the sand castle and I know right there, while the sun kissed my Vianna's face, that I would never let her go and even if she would choose to leave me, I would run after her.

"Dad, what are you staring at? You should join us." Shouts Thirdy.

I was hesitant. I didnt want to join them. I just want to enjoy the view of my Vianna from afar---that breath taking smile. How I wish she would do the same thing with me--- she would smile with her eyes glistening when she talk to me or even just when she look at me but it was never like that. I know she must have kept that pain in her heart and it was only last night that she realized, its the end for us. I would never allow that to happen. NEVER.

"Hey Dad! What's your plan?!"--- Thirdy ran towards me, strongly pulled my hand that I almost fell, good thing Vianna was there..

and so was the sudden embrace. I heard Vianna utter words I could not understand. Was she cursing me? I hope not. I hope deep within her that embrace softened her heart and she would be able to forgive me.

"That's sweet! I have to go and grab my iPad. I left it on top of the glass table."

I was not prepared for this. Standing so close to Vianna and feeling her heartbeat, I could almost drown... with joy... the feeling of her being so close to me was beyond words unexplainable.

And by some luck, even mother earth tried to help me win her back. We heard a group of teenagers sing a somewhat romantic song that would melt every woman's heart ---

***WESTLIFE (Queen of my Heart)

So here we stand
In our secret place
With a sound of the crowd
So far away
And you take my hand
And it feels like home
We both understand
It's where we belong

Yes. This place is a secret place for us. I took courage of changing our itinerary. We were supposed to go to a beach resort in Laguna and drop by Enchanted Kingdom but I opted to drive to Batangas to the place where we first had our date, where I proposed to her and to where we had our first night together.

I actually have prepared myself that she would shout at me and nag me for changing plans without asking her but as she got off the car earlier, she didnt mention anything. She was so silent---- deafening silence.

"When do you plan to tell Thirdy?"

"What do you mean?"

"We have agreed right? Were done."

"But Im asking for another chance... and I wont give up on you."

"and what's this then? Tell me!?!"

I was suprised that she was holding a paper that I have kept for a long time.. 10 years to be exact. I have kept it inside a box, hid in a place where no one would find it, but she was holding it, with eyes as dark as hell...

"Let me explain. It is not what you think. "

"You have been cheating me! Perhaps even before we got married and maybe until now."-- She tried to control her tears and I tried mine too.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

"All this time George. All this time, I have been blaming myself. We are not as romantic as others because I am not as expressive as others. I try to hold my emotion. You know what Ive gone through, you know I could never give love but I tried because you are George, you are... and yet, and yet...."

"Please give me another chance. Please."

"What chance? There will never be second chance George because you know why, I have been giving you chances since 10 years ago. Since you just stopped being a husband to me and you only cared about yourself! Now I know the real score. Its because of this paper. You CHEATED ON ME!!! and you still are!!"

How am I supposed to tell her the truth? How? Telling her the truth will even hurt her more and if keeping silent would lessen the pain, then, I will just be silent..

**

I'll always look back
As I walk away
This memory
Will last for eternity
And all of our tears
Will be lost in the rain
When I've found my way
Back to your arms again
But until that day
You know you are
The queen of my heart
