Sometimes, it is just best to let it all go.

Chapter Ten


     "Paolo, it's not like that," I went near him but he took a step back.
     "I heard it loud and clear Leyla. There's no need to pretend. And you," he looked at Rey, "Be a man and listen to what a girl has to say."
       "I'll take you home Leyla. I've had enough for the night," Paolo grabbed my hand.
       "Let me explain Paolo," I begged him.
       "What's done is done Leyla. Now, let me take you home," he was about to pull me when I pulled my hand back first.
      "No Paolo. It will make me sound like really the bad person if I'll allow you to take me home. I can manage myself," I said and walked away.

      Tears started to flow down my eyes. The grill was a bit far from the beach house so my feet really hurt after walking. Grandma was so shocked when she found me sitting outside the front door, crying.
       "Oh my goodness, Leyla. What happened to you? Where is Paolo?" she asked and carried me inside.
       "I just ruined my life lola, all because of my selfishness and that stupid journal," I cried to her.
       "What do you mean? Journal? Have you been using Déjà vu?" her eyes grew wide. I sat straight and looked at grandma in the eyes.
       "You know about the journal?"
       "Yes. The journal lets you hold your destiny which is probably the best control anyone can ever have in his life. I know nothing about how it is created but I used the journal once and I met the first love of my life,"
       "Grandpa?"
       "Nope. He's another person. He was my best friend,"
       "But what happened? How did grandpa entered the picture?"
       "When I saw that the situation is out of control, I knew that I should stop, I should let go, no matter how painful it will be for me..." grandma's tears started flowing.
        "What did you do grandma?" I asked.
        "I used the last page to undo everything. I lost Rick and everything we had. He got married to another woman, I was the maid of honor. On the day of the wedding, I met your grandpa. Beyond all what happened to me apo, I want you to make your own choice. You can keep everything what you have today or just let it all go and just let destiny do its job," grandma explained as she touched my cheek. She then stood up and went inside her room.


         I was left in the living room staring at nothing. What should I do? I was never good with letting go but I knew it was something I had to do. If Paolo and I are meant for each other, we will be together again someday. I stood up and made my way to my room. I remember I was shaking while holding the pen and the notebook. After a while I managed to write my last journal entry...

         Tomorrow morning, everything I wrote in this journal will be undone.


         My tears flowed when I closed the journal and closed my eyes to sleep.

Epilogue

    The next morning after kissing grandma goodbye, I decided to pass by the gym to check how Paolo was doing. I saw him in his casual attire, laughing with his employees in the reception. He saw me and said, "Can I help you miss?"
     I just shook my head and ran away. It may be painful seeing him live happily without me but I know I made a good choice. I wiped my tears and swore to myself that that would be the last time I am ever going to cry about this.

      When I arrived in Manila, an advertising company hired me as their new employee. It was a good opportunity so I grabbed it. My job kept me busy for almost a year. I did not party and spent so much time shopping. I knew the job was a good way to cope with what happened last summer.
      It was a normal day at work when I was asked by my boss to entertain a possible client and I willingly said yes to the favor. I was sitting in my office chair facing the window when someone knocked at the door and came in. I turned to see him and I saw a familiar face. It was Paolo, in a tuxedo. He looked different but I knew it was still him.

      "Good morning sir, please take  a seat," I greeted him just like any other client who came in my office.
      "What can I do for you sir?" I asked as soon as he took his seat and I took mine.
      "Uhm, I would like you to do some sort of advertising for my gym. It's quite far, it's an island. Is that okay with you?"
      "We are always willing to accommodate to your advertising needs sir. I'll set a team for you right away and I'll just contact you when they will be sent to the island."
       "That's good. And miss, one more thing.."
       "Anything sir,"
       "Will you be the team leader?"
       "Sure sir, but I have to ask. Why me?"
       "Because I feel like I have known you for a long time," he said and smiled. Oh Paolo, you have no idea.

        After a week, I was sent to the island with my other team members to shoot and advertisement and do some pictorials in the gym. Unexpectedly, me and Paolo got close in the time I was there. We fell in love again. I went back to Manila to continue my career while he managed the business in the island. He came every two weeks to visit me in Manila. On the day of our third anniversary, he proposed to me.

            Of all things that has happened, the main point is that we should not try to interfere with God's plan for  he made everything perfect in it's time. And it has less stress when you leave your life or your destiny in His hands.

             Now, as I end this story, I'd like to tell everyone to wait. As what they say: right time, right person, and the right reason.

            Now, it's time for me to put my veil on and get ready for a new journey in my life.



the end.
