To You Who Loves Me Dearly
Chapter 1: Pitter-Patter
Serene
I'm sorry....We need to break up....
Serene
Please, let me go....You deserve better
Allena
Serene, what are you saying? Are you playing a prank on me?
Allena
Please, tell me you're joking babe...
*grabs her wrist*
Serene
Allena...
*teary eyes*
Allena
Did I do anything wrong? I'll change, baby. I'll change for you... So please, don't leave me.
Serene
No, it's not you, it's me....
Allena
Then why…? Baby, tell me, we can talk about it
Serene
Allena... I-... I don't love you anymore----
RING RING
*sound of alarm clock ringing*
Mia
Wake up sleepyhead, your alarm has been ringing since earlier.
Allena
Hmmn...What time is it?...
Mia
6pm. Will you please stand up already?
Allena
Wuwu.... You're so heartless~
Author note: Wuwu is sound of crying
Allena
*dizzy*
Ugh... I feel like puking.
Mia
Eww, go stand up. Don't you dare throw up on my bed!
Allena
Can you atleast help me up?
Mia
Ugh, you're such a baby. Maybe that's why Serene left you.
*still helped her up*
Allena
Hey!! Don't rub the salt in the wound!
Mia
*covers ears*
Whatever. Just stand up and fix your appearance. Tsk tsk, why do you even keep going to the bar?
Allena
Duh... Because....Well, because that's the place where we first met.
*fixing my appearance*
Mia
So basically, you're hoping she'll go back there? Hah.
Allena
Are you really my bestfriend!? Hmph, instead of supporting my delusions, you're here opposing it
Mia
It's not my fault that someone can't handle the truth?
Allena
Ugh, you're annoying. Whatever, I'm out of here. Thanks for letting me crash the night
Mia
You'd better not come back here drunk!
Allena
So I'm welcome here when I'm not drunk? *chuckles*
Mia
*rolls eyes*
Just go, I don't wanna see you
Allena
Bye!
*Shuts door close*
Allena
My clothes smells like alcohol, I should go home and take a bath....
*Taxi just continued driving past her*
Allena
It seems like I'll have to walk till I see another cab *sigh*
Meanwhile, at a restaurant
Sean
Should I order your favorite? *smiling*
Serene
Oh, uh...Yes. Thank you, Sean.
Sean
Looks like it'll rain heavily tonight...
Sean
Would you like me to drive you home?
Waitress walks towards their table
Waitress
Enjoy your meal, ma'am, sir.
Both of them said at the same time
Sean
We even said it at the same time, huh?
--Outside...Under the pouring rain--
Allena
I'm so unlucky... *shivers*
Allena
Why does it have to rain!? *sighs* I haven't brought an umbrella and there's no cabs too...
Allena
*shakes head* Whatever... I'm close to the bus stop anyway.
After minutes of walking....
--Meanwhile, at the restaurant--
Sean
Oh, the rain stopped.
Serene
It seems so... That's a good thing.
Sean
*pouts* Kind of, but I won’t get to drive you home then
Serene
*chuckles* When did I say that I won't let you drive me home if the rain stopped?
Serene
*smiles* Come on, let's go now.
Serene
*Eyes looking outside the restaurant, through the glass partitions*
Serene
*Eyes widened slightly, hands shaking*
Sean
Are you okay, Serene?
Serene
Uh, yeah, I'm fine. Just saw someone familiar, must be my imagination, Haha...
Serene
(Allena.... No, I must have mistaken someone else as her.)

Allena
*Looking around, embarassed*
Allena
*sees someone familiar inside a restaurant....A very very familiar person*
Allena
(Serene...? Is that her? Is it really her...? Finally, I found h---)
Allena
*saw a man with Serene, walking hand to hand with her as they exit the restaurant*
Allena
*gloomy expression..., walks away...*
Allena
It's raining again...
*bites my lower lip*
Chapter 2: Silly Girl
Allena
*pinches the bridge of nose*
Allena
How did I even got home?-- Achoo!
Allena
This is the worst... *grumbles, letting myself plop to the bed*
----Flashback after Allena ran away----
Allena
The rain isn't stopping at all, haha...
Allena
Is this heaven's way of comforting me, or just to make me feel more miserable?
Allena
Wuwu... I'm such an idiot to think that she'll come back to me...
Allena
She already moved on, and yet here I am, clinging into nothing
Allena
(She looks...so happy with that man. She never smiled that way to me...)
Allena
*checks the thermometer*
Allena
37.6, I have a fever... *rubs my nose slightly red nose*
Allena
I should sleep and get well, so I can work tomorrow... *yawns*
Allena
*looks at a picture frame on her bedside table*
Serene
Allena, the truth is... I left you because I'm inlove with someone else.
Serene
I don't love you, not at all.
Serene
I'm happier with him
Allena
Ser— *touches my throat... No words are coming out*
Then, things started getting blurry and distorted...
Allena
Serene!! *Reaches out my hand*
Allena
Pwah!! *my hand still hanging on the air*
Allena
*sitting at top of the bed*
Note: Imagine it as something like this, but her hand is reaching out and her head is up
Author: Sorry guys, I can't find a better picture and I'm trying to avoid using AI-generated pictures :>
Allena
So... all of it was a dream?
Allena
It felt so real... *looks at trembling hands*
Allena
Such a shame. I didn't get to touch or hug her at all *weak smile*
Allena
I wonder what she's doing right now
Allena
Is she sleeping peacefully, or maybe reading books till daylight again...
Allena
Whatever she's doing, I hope she'll be safe and happy... Away from someone selfish like me who desperately wants her
Allena
*picks up the picture frame of me and Serene, kissing it softly, hugging it as I try to fell asleep*
Serene
*taps the notification*
A DM (Direct message) from Sean
Note: Chats with " : " at the beginning is like messages you know, so hopefully no one gets confused
Serene
(Really? You're gonna ask me if I'm awake? Would I be able to reply if I'm asleep?) *rolls eyes*
Serene
: Yes, do you need something? *Smiley.emoji*
Sean
: Nothing much, I just want to talk to you
Serene
: So, what do you want to talk about?
Serene
... Men are so confusing, I swear
Serene
Women are easier to understand *sighs*
Serene
(Maybe it's just because I'm a woman or...because it's her)
Serene
(No, no, what are you thinking?)
*slaps both cheeks*
Serene
: Anything? Mm, I don't know what to say, really
Sean
: Well, how about we talk about our personalities? It'll be pretty interesting, and we'll get to know each other better!
Sean
: Random but, I love tulips
Serene
: Oh yes, me too! Tulips are my favorite!
Serene
: Aren't they just beautiful?
Serene
: Haha, sweet talker
Serene
(When...did I even started liking tulips?)
Serene
(When did it become my favorites? Ah... It's because a silly girl mentioned She loves it.)
Author: Btw guys, care to tell me what's better? To use emojis when they're chatting or like *smiley.emoji*? Anyways, I'll try to update atleast once every two days!
Chapter 3: Workaholics.
Ring ring!!
*sound of phone ringing*
Allena
*brushing my teeth*
Allena
*glances at the phone*
Screen: Assistant "Allia Lopez"
Allena
*stops and rinses my mouth*
Allia
: Boss, are you gonna come to work today?
Allena
(Oh shit, I forgot to call her last night...) *pinches the bridge of nose and sighs*
Allena
: No, I can't go to work today. I don't have any meetings today, right? If there is, then cancel it. I'm sick and needs to rest.
Allia
: Rest assured boss, your schedule is free today. You can go rest and get well!
Allena
: Alright, thanks Allia. If there's anything to do, just send it on my email.
Allia
: Alright boss, got it. Hope you get well fast!
*beep beep* Phone call ends
Allena
*looks at the clock*
(I think I'll go back to sleep at 9am, should rest first since I just finished eating breakfast)
Serene
: Yes, yes, I'll be right there at 3pm.
Someone on the other side of the call speaking
Serene
: Mm, since Mr. Henry hold this friend in high regards, then I shall trust that they'll do a good job in the designing of the clothes.
Henry
: Okay, so is this a deal?
Serene
: Yes, although we'll sign the contract later, and if possible, I would like to meet the designer that Mr. Henry praises.
Henry
: Ok, ok, no problem at all. You can rest assured, that girl has incredible designs, I'm sure she'll do a great job at your clothes!
Serene
: Then, I'll call Mr. Henry later?
Henry
: No need, I'll be there. 3pm, Saint Avenue street, Plaza's restaurant, right?
Serene
: Mm, then I'll hang up sir. See you later.
Serene
That Mr. Henry is a bit more enthusiastic than I expected
Serene
I'll have to call Sarah
Note: Sarah is Selene's secretary.
Serene
: Sarah, I would need you to reschedule any plans for today.
Sarah
: But, Ms. Serene, you have a brand photoshoot for Women's Secret at 3pm, should we tell them to reschedule it?
Author: Brand of perfume...The name just pop on my mind hehe, tho idk if there's a brand like this?
Serene
: Yes, yes, reschedule it please. Tell them an important matter is being handled.
Sarah
(Uh...I really don't get boss, what could be more important than a famous brand's photoshoot? Well, the boss is the boss so I'll just do what she says.)
Sarah
: Alright, Ms. Serene, I'll talk to their manager.
*beep, beep*
Phone call ended
Serene
This girl...too professional. No, more like too serious.
Serene
(Not like it's a bad thing.)
Meanwhile, at Sarah's side (What's actually happening) At the office
Sarah
AHHHH, I'm so curious on what could have made that cold workaholic boss change her mind and reschedule her photoshoot!?!!
Sarah
Could boss have gotten a lover??!
Sarah
*Covers mouth, looks around...*
Sarah
Oops, good thing no one is around... *sighs in relied*
Sarah
Still, I wonder what really is happening~ Boss is acting strange lately, the type of strange when you get a lover
Sarah
*twirls pen in hand*
