Dare To Leave
Episode 13
When pascal got to where Lydia was, she was a mess and burst into tears while trying to express herself.
She gets really emotional atimes and she can’t help it… Even if she knows she’s not suppose to bug Pascal with her marital problems.. But when she’s down and needs someone to cheer up. There’s only one person in the world that can make her feel better.
And it Pascal, so whether he is her sister’s husband or her best friend while growing up… It has always been him.
Pascal listened without interrupting her and felt like crushing something after hearing the way Ken has been treating Lydia.
Lydia is a sweet soul and basically harmless, the most selfless and responsible human being he has ever met.
Why would any one treat her like that? Its not her fault that she’s on able to have kids.
Lydia’s love is worth everything one could possibly wish for..
And having her by one’s side every other day… Is enough to consider one self lucky.
Pascal took over the driving side and they drive endlessly around the city. The night was still young and beautiful.
Lydia laughed endlessly at pascal’s jokes and enjoyed every moment of their time together.
They stopped by at a Chinese restaurant to order takeouts and dined together in the car…. They joined a mass gathering at a life show and enjoyed the open charade.
Time passed by quickly and it was almost midnight while they were driving again.
Lydia watched Pascal in the dark, his tall figure, built body and beautiful fac.
Over the years, he seem to have grown more handsome than olde.
While they were barely teenagers…… Lydia remembered how girls would write letters to him declaring him as their crush. One of which included her sister Lucia.
Pascal was and still a charmer, with his great look and charisma. It so easy to fall in love with him.
But he had looked past all those girls and choose Lydia to be his girlfriend. She had been surprised when he had publicly declared her his love.
He was her best friend and they grew up together… Knowing that Lucia was madly in love with him and trying to stay Happy with him had been one of the hardest things …. Lydia had ever done.
Years have passed and even though the tables had turned and she’s no longer romantically involved with him….
She still enjoys and crave for his company.
But this shouldn’t be so
Pascal is now Lucia’s husband
They are married and they have kids together.
That phase of their life is now officially over. They can never be more than just friends now.
