Ezekiel and Ivy were inside his car, Ivanna told him to send her home.
"Ivy, so do you have any plans tomorrow?" he asks her.
Ivy was just staring at her phone.
"Hmm, I think so, why?" she asks.
She knew already that he would be asking her to hang out again.
"Nothing, just want to ask you out again." he said.
Ivy went blushed again.
"Okay, I'll see to it by tomorrow." she said.
Ezekiel nodded at her. Ivy was sometimes wondering what if he'll ask her for a date, her mind was thoroughly laughing while imagining it. they had arrived to her condo.
"Thank you again, Ezekiel." she said.
"No problem."  he said.
Ivy waves at him, as much as she wanted to invites him in. She was shy because her room was a mess and she didn't want him to think that she's such a mess woman, maybe he will be turned off to him.
Ivanna and Ash decided to go to buy some groceries.
"Ash, what do you want? Wheat bread or just a normal loaf bread?" she asks.
Ash chukles, she was so funny.
"Just take them both." he said.
Ivanna smiled, they were happily picking up some goods when Ash stops walking.
"So, what about our butter? do you want milk cheese or?" Ivanna asks.
Ivanna doesn't know that Ash stops walking. She keeps on talking.
"Ash." she said.
Turns her back, to see him stops and staring to some woman. Woman, who has an angelic face and every man would turn their head to see her. She was wondering who was that, but she stops when that woman calls 'Ash' name.
"Ash?" the woman asks.
The woman slowly went near him, Ash was very shocked. He doesn't know that she's already here. Ash and Ivanna gasped when that woman hugs her.
"Rhea." he said.
That hits Ivanna, she is the woman they're referring to her as his ex.
"Yes Ash, It's me. I've come back." she said between their hugs.
Ivanna doesn't know but she feels a sting on her heart, she turned her back and headed to pick some goods. She gave them a time to talk.
"How are you? Oh my God! I've missed you so much." Rhea said.
Ash smiled bitterly, thinking finally she came back it was a wrong timing for them.
"I'm good, how about you?" he asked.
"Well, still pretty." she said, so confident.
Ivanna was slowly watching them, Ash didn't even look for her. Ivanna was waiting by the corner when Ash called her.
"Candice." he said.
Rhea was stunned, who was he calling. She saw Ivanna walking towards them.
"Ash, who is she?" Rhea asked.
"My wife." he said.
Rhea's world stops turning.
"Wife? You've got to be kidding me?" she asks.
Ivanna and Ash knew how surprise she was. Rhea was just staring at Ivanna in front of her, then her eyes landed to her ring and his ring, she smiled bitterly.
"Wow, that's real." whispered, controlling her tears not to come out.
Rhea and Ivanna were awkward, Ivanna was mute.
"Hi, I'm Andrea, You must knew about me." Rhea said.
Ivanna was shocked when Rhea extended her hand in front of her, she took and shakes their hands.
"I'm Ivanna." she said.
That moment, they were just staring at each other. Rhea couldn't talk, even Ash.
"I'm sorry Rhea, but can we talk some time? We're busy." Ash said.
Rhea was disappointed.
"Okay sure, I'm also busy." she said.
Rhea told them to go ahead first and pay to the counter. She was secretly staring at Ash and Ivanna, inside her, she was breaking.
"I just left for how many years, and now you're already married." she whispered and went to her car.
Ivanna and Ash didn't talk, Ivanna was so sorry that she can see through their eyes that they love and missed each other so much.
"Let's go." Ash said.
Ash puts their groceries at the back, Ivanna was just mute inside the car.
"Don't think about her." he told her.
"I'm sorry." she said.
Ash was shocked.
"Why are you saying sorry?" he asked.
Ivanna shrugs her shoulder.
"I don't know, maybe I was the reason why you didn't end up together." she said.
Ash sighed.
"Candice, no one here is to blame. It's just that, maybe we aren't for each other for real." he said.
Ivanna nodded, they had arrived at their home. Ash headed to take a shower. Ivanna was at the kitchen, doesn't know what she's feeling. It's just that she was hurt when she saw them hugging each other.
"Oh God, what am I thinking." she groaned.
She just finished unpacking and she went upstairs to cool herself down. Ash was finished, he went to watch, but watching doesn't make him stops thinking about his ex.
"Damn it." eh whispered.
He saw the hatred and sadness to Ivanna's eyes that moment, he was feeling guilty.
"I need to process this marriage." he said.
He saw Candice coming down, She just smiled at him.
"Are you hungry?" he asks her.
"Nope, I'm still full." she said.
Ash just made a sandwich for him, the atmosphere for them was so awkward. Tomorrow's Friday, and it's their last day to work before rest day. Andrea was at her condo, thinking too much, she can't stop but to teared up.
"Why Ash?" she whispered.
She thought it was her fault that's why he married someone, but she was thinking twice that it was just a fake wedding.
"I'm sure of it, I can see to his eyes that he doesn't love that woman. Maybe, they were just married for the sake of business." she whispered.
She thinks positively, she doesn't want to believe it. Ash might have a reason why and that's what she needs to know. She decided to call Ezekiel. Ezekiel was so stunned to know that she was here already. He doesn't know why but he's feeing worried.
