The Promise

Broken

"Wooooh!!!"

"So sweeeet!!"

"Say yes!!!"

The crowd cheered as they watch the marking moment David created. He placed Arhianna on a tight spot of proposing. He never left his eyes on the stiff woman towering at him. The spotlight that was directed to the woman on the sage were now focusing on them. 

Arhianna can't move. Her mind was not functioning. Her nerves were numb, not responding to the command of heart. Her eyes fixed on Glaizel, trying to communicate with her. 

The necklace in Glaizel's pocket seems to weigh. Seems to drag her down. Sending a message to pull the woman looking at her away from the man knelt down.

Arhianna was still motionless that David was able to place the ring around her finger. Glaizel, seeing that sparkling stone on her beloved's finger thawed her frozen form that she was able to walk away. Arhianna tried to move but David immediately stood up and hugged the surprised woman. The mass showered them with confetti made from torn tissue papers lying on the tables. 

David smiled in his victory. He was no stupid to understand Arhianna. Not all silence means yes, sometimes its a no but cannot be put into words. He had successfully removed Glaizel to the equation. He removed his protective arms around Arhianna and clasp his hands on her cheeks, forced her to look at him. David saw her eyes, tears fall non-stop.

"I love you. You had made me the luckiest and the happiest man tonight," he said as he wipe her tears, but every streak he wipes, new streaks fall. He kissed her unresponsive lips. "Lets go back to the cottage," he whispered and pulled her to exit. David shook hands of every unknown guest who were congratulating them. Thanking every people tapping his shoulders. 

Arhianna didn't respond to their greetings. In her heart, this was not she wanted. She wanted to pull her hand away from him and find Glaizel, but she lost her strength.

Glaizel ran to the farthest end of the resort where the waves boxes the rocks, just like how her emotions boxes her being. That event she just saw pounded her heart into dust. She's bleeding inside. As the waves batter the impenetrable rocks, Glaizel hit her chest to alter the pain she was feeling in her heart. She's in rage with this night, with her heart, with love..... With David.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" she shouted to the top her lungs, pouring out all that unbearable hurt. 

Luna and Abi, hastened faster when they heard a shout. They saw Glaizel on the rocks, dropped on her knees.

"Hey dude.. Shhh... We're here..." Luna dropped down, caging her friend tight,  trying to separate Glaizel to all who were trying to harm her bestfriend. Abi towering them behind, crying. 

Glaizel was lost for words. All seemed to vanish in to thin air. How time changed its course, ransacking from her the woman she was inlove with and was inlove with her. Luna held her tight as she gets hysterical, rocking her back and forth, caressing her back to calm her down, but like the raging wave smashing the rocks, its hard to tame.

"Why Batchi? WHY!?!?!" she angrily asked. 

"Dude, expect it will happen. You know she's committed in the first place," Luna keeping her friends mind in the reality.

"He was looking at me. Mocking me. Gloating. I know Arhianna was not expecting it. He put her on the spot. I have to go and save her," Glaizel struggle to escape from Luna's arms.

"No! Stop it, Glaizel! Look at you! You look deranged. What chances do you have against that man?!" Luna's voice authoritative. Keeping her arms together, not letting her friend get away.
