Tears Of A Wife novel Chapter 56

Atlas Ramirez POV

I was smiling as I watched a woman with long hair. It was pulled in a bun as he stood formally, watching the tall building of Eiffel Tower. Her brown coat reached her thighs, paired with a white shirt inside. Her blue jeans and boots with heels complimented well as she paired it with a clutch bag hanging on her shoulder.

It's been a long time since I saw her. Times where I feel like my life is nothing. Times where I surrendered everything for her. And the times where I needed to carry the pain of letting her go. I can't seem to fathom the fact that I saw her again because of a coincidental vacation.

There are a lot of types of love. There's pure, there's not. It's enduring. There's leaving. There's love for family, for friends, and for everyone. But above everything, there's a love that's one of a kind. Love for the person you want to be with forever.

"Guess who I am."

I immediately smiled when I heard Jen's voice from behind.Napangiti kaagad ako nang marinig ang. Her perfume floated together with the wind from the east. My smile widened when she kissed my cheek and sat beside me. She even nudged me to catch my attention.

I've been in a small cottage that I made. It was made with leaves and tree branches. It was situated on the side of Papa's small land which was surrounded with corn and sugarcanes of the two haciendas of our town. The cottage I made was just small, just to have a place to study or to be alone. But because of Jen, we're both using the cottage to study together.

I've been in a relationship with Jen for two years. I was sixteen when I courted her. We were classmates so it was easy for me to fall for her. Aside from the fact that she's beautiful, she's also kind and smart. She's second in rank in our class, next to me. Our families were also friends so we easily got close to each other.

We dated. We kissed and made out. It's normal for teenagers like us who have very active hormones. Curiosity also filled between us that we tend to try things and explore. Nonetheless, we didn't reach our goal. I didn't let it happen because I respect Jen and her dreams in life.

"Hey! Do you know about the event at the town on Sunday?" She intertwined her hands on mine. "Let's go there. You might get accepted as a scholar."

"Yes. I already talked to Mama. She'll go with me there," I answered.

"Really? Yes!" she said happily.

I chuckled and faced her. My eyes softened as I saw her smiling face. Her small and prominent nose. Her long eyelashes and her face's beautiful shape. Jen's skin was tanned and her hair was curly. She was like the Filipino version of Marimar. She just doesn't have a Fulgoso.

"What are you thinking? You've been quiet," Jen asked. Her forehead was creasing as she stared at me. I shook my head which made her pout. "What is it?" she curiously asked once more.

"It's Papa," I started.
