Nagising ako dahil sa tunog ng gitara. I fixed myself and went out to find out where the music is coming from hanggang sa nakarating ako sa living room where I can see the veranda. Nakita ko doon si Enrique na naka-upo at nakatalikod sa akin while plucking his guitar.

He's singing. Hindi ko lang siguro naririnig ang boses niya kanina sa kwarto dahil mahina lang ito, but this time na mas malapit ako sa kanya, I can hear him clearly and gosh he has a talent in singing. Napasandal ako sa pader at pinanood lang siya. Sayang at hindi ko siya nakikita ng harapan habang tumutugtog but his back is not a bad view either.

Hey there Delilah

Don't you worry about the distance

I'm right there if you get lonely

Give this song another listen

Close your eyes

Listen to my voice, it's my disguise

I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

Oh it's what you do to me

What you do to me

I've heard that song plenty of times pero iba ngayon na sa kanya ko naririnig. Pakiramdam ko may inaalayan siya ng kanta. There's so much feeling in his song that it made me shed a tear. When he finished the song sumisinghot na ako sa iyak na naging dahilan ng pag lingon niya sa direction ko.

"I never thought you could sing." I said habang pinupunasan ang luha sa mata ko.

"Eat your breakfast Mira." Ibinaba niya ang gitara at tumayo. "Eavesdropping is a bad habbit."

"What?" Napakunot ang noo ko. Since when did listening to a person singing considered as eavesdropping?

"Nothing. Just go and eat." I look at him weirdly.

"Alam mo you have a really good voice. Have you ever considered joining a band? I'm sure you'll be a star in no time."

"So you're a talent scout now?" He said as he walked past me. Sinundan ko siya.

"No. I just imagined you singing in stage. Kailan ka natuto mag gitara? You're really good at it so it means matagal ka nang marunong. Sinong nagturo sayo? Sino pa ang ibang nakakaalam na marunong ka mag gitara?"

Natigil ako sa pagsasalita nang bigla siyang huminto sa harap ko at muntik pa akong mabunggo sa likod niya. He suddenly turned around with a sour look on his face.

"Stop it Mira. It's annoying." Halata nga sa itsura niya na na iinis na siya pero ngiti lang ang isinagot ko sa kanya.

"Masungit ka talaga noh? Sabagay halata naman sa face mo kasi palagi kang seryoso, pero it's okay gwapo ka parin." He sighed and massaged his temple. Napangiti ako ng malapad. Kahit mukhang frustrated siya ang gwapo parin.

"What am I going to do here? Hindi ako sanay ng walang ginagawa."

"Do whatever you want."

"Ikaw anong gagawin mo buong araw?" He shrugged.

"I'll be in my room." Tumalikod na siya ulit sa akin at naglakad palayo. Nagugutom na din ako. I was really tired last night ka nang humiga ako sa kama nag deretso na ang tulog ko.

I was wiping the plates na hinugasan ko after kong kumain. Medyo napadami ang kain ko dahil hotdog ang ulam and I really love hotdogs. Ano kayang gagawin ko ngayong araw? Should I clean this house? Medyo maalikabok at magulo na nga ang mga gamit dito. Wala siguro siyang katulong. I'm a brat pero malinis ako sa gamit. In fact, ayaw ko sa magulo.

Naagaw ang atensyon ko nang may makita akong isang hilera ng mga cd at dvd. Some of them are on top of the table, yung iba naman nasa sahig. Napataas pa ang kilay ko nang mapansin na may mga cd rin doon si Celine Dion, Whitney Houston at iba pa. Seriously? Enrique listens to this kind of music? And the dvds are all actions and documentaries. How boring. Napailing nalang ako. Kakaiba din pala ang taste ng taong yun.

I took out my phone and connected it tothe speaker. My songs are Beyonce, Shakira, Taylor Swift and the kinds. I'm more into new songs.

Sumasabay ako sa kanta ng Into you ni Ariana Grande at kumekembot pa habang nakatayo sa isang step ladder at isinasabit ang mga kurtina. May nakita kasi akong kurtina sa isang maliit na kwarto at doon nakalagay ang nga extra pillows and bedsheets. I chose the dark green curtain dahil lahat ng nandoon puti. In fact even the whole house is white na iisipin mo nasa langit ka.

Pagkatapos kong isabit ang kurtina. Yung chandelier naman ang pinagdiskitahan ko. Masiyado na kasing maalikabok at madaming cobwebs. Tumaas pa ako ng isang hakbang sa stepladder but I was suddenly out balanced. Ipinikit ko ang mga mata ko para hintayin ang pagbagsak ko sa sahig but strong arms captured me.

"What the hell are you doing?" I opened my eyes and came face to face with Enrique. I grinned. My prince never fails to save me. Ang swerte ko talaga.

"Hi." Hindi niya ako pinansin at ibinaba na agad. He has this annoyed look on his face. Inilibot niya ang mata sa paligid and his jaw clenched upon looking at the curtains. "I changed the curtains, maalikabok na kasi at kailangan na labahan."

"Sinong nagsabi sayo na pwede mong ayusin ang bahay ko?" Kumunot ang noo ko pero agad din akong ngumiti.

"Wala kasi akong magawa saka hindi kasi ako mapakali na makitang magulo ang bahay."

"You should've asked me before you do something inside my house." Nawala ang ngiti ko.

"Teka nga. Di ba ikaw ang nagsabi na I can do whatever I want? Hindi naman ako informed na kailangan pala lahat ng galaw ko ipagpapaalam ko sayo. I didn't know that I am in prison."

Mas lalong tumalim ang tingin niya sa akin pero hindi ako nagpatalo. Humalukipkip ako habang nakatingin sa kanya hanggang sa bumuntong hininga siya at tumalikod sa akin. Akala ko pa naman maa-appreciate niya ang ginawa kong paglinis ng bahay niya.

"You know what? If you don't want me here you can bring me home. I'm sure kuya Demitri will understand."

"No. You will stay here."

"I know that you're doing your job kaya hindi mo ako pinapaalis pero ayaw ko din naman na makasagabal sa buhay mo. Iwui mo na ako." Hindi ko akalain na sasabihin ko to sa kanya. I was so happy to have a day with him pero hindi ko inexpect na ganito ang mangyayari.

"Stop being so childish Mira. You are not going home."

"I'm not a child anymore! I'm twenty one!" I said as I stomped my foot. That's it. I've lost my temper. Bakit ba palagi nilang sinasabi na bata pa ako? I've traveled the world alone for goodness sake. "I can make my own decisions and I've decided to go home now."

"See? That's why you're still a child."

"Well I'm sorry for not being five years older." I ran towards my room and slammed the door. Wala naman akong masamang intention. I just want a clean environment dahil hindi talaga ako comfortable sa magulong bahay.

I stayed inside my room the whole day at nang katukin niya ako para sa lunch hindi ako lumabas. Kakain ako kapag wala na siya sa kusina. Ayaw ko siyang makita. Nakaupo lang ako sa may veranda ng kwarto ko at nagbabasa ng libro. I let the breeze of the air blow my hair. Ang sarap talaga sa pakiramdam ng ganito. Mabuti nalang palagi akong may baon na pagkain sa maleta ko kaya hindi ko na kailangan lumabas.

Nang dumilim na, pumasok na ako sa kwarto at lumipat sa kama upang doon na tapusin ang libro na binabasa ko. I was about 5 pages bago matapos ang book ng makarinig ako ng katok sa pinto.

"Mira it's time for dinner." Hindi ko siya pinansin. Kumatok siya ulit, hindi ko nanaman pinansin. Kunatok siya ng sunud-sunod at malakas. "If you don't open this door I'll break it. I swear."

Marahas akong tumayo at binuksan ang pinto.

"Ano bang gusto mo?! If you want to break the door then do it this is your house anyway, but I'm not paying for it. Kaya ako nandito lang sa kwarto ko para wala na akong mapakelaman na gamit mo. That's what you want righ-"

"I'm sorry." Natigil ako sa pagtalak nang marinig ang sinabi niya. Gosh, Enrique in front of me saying sorry is so cute. Pero hindi ako magpapadala so I crossed my arms and kept a straight face.

"Sorry for what? This is your house at tama ka naman wala akong karapatan na pakealaman ang mga gamit mo dito. I must not care if you want to live in a rathole."

"Will you please stop talking? It's really annoying." I looked at his annoyed face. Gwapo talaga. "I already said I'm sorry. Let's have dinner I cooked for us."

Just like that I melted. Us naman ang sinabi niya. Hindi naman niya sinabing nagluto siya para sa akin. Wala din naman siyang sinabi na dapat ikatuwa ko pero yung puso ko ang bilis ng tibok. I smiled at him sweetly. "Okay."

    Maghapon ngayong hindi lumabas si Enrique sa kwarto niya. Bagot na bagot na ako sa panonood at paubos na din ang mga movies sa rack. Masiyado na rin malinis ang bahay sa araw-araw na paglilinis ko, so I decided na mag liwaliw ngayong hapon. I tried knocking on his door para magpaalam pero hindi naman sumasagot.I looked at my watch, it's already four thirty in the afternoon . I shrugged and went out. Hindi naman siguro ako mawawala dito. Ang layo ng daan palabas ng gate ng bahay ni Enrique, halos inabot ako ng 20 minutes bago ako nakarating ng gate.Natigil ako sa paglalakad nang mapansin ko na maraming tao sa paligid ko. Bakit ang daming taong nakapalibot doon? Nagkukumpulan kasi ang mga tao ng pabilog. Sa sobrang curious ko tumigil ako at lumapit."Manong," tinapik ko sa balikat ang isang may katandaan na lalaki. Napansin ko na nagulat siya nang makita ako pero hindi ko na pinansin na natulala siya dahil sa kagandahan ko. "Ano pong meron?""Ah! Naglalaban sila ng chess. Wala kasing

    "Wake up." I groaned as I hear Enrique. Binuksan niya ang kurtina ng kwarto ko. Itinakip ko ang kumot sa mukha ko at tumalikod sa bintana.Ngayon nagsisisi na ako na hindi ko ini-lock ang pinto ko. Sinadya ko yun kasi iniisip ko na baka pasukin niya ang kwarto ko, pano niya ako maaakit kung naka lock di ba? Pero hindi ko naman akalain na ganito. Papasok siya sa kwarto para lang gisingin ako. Kung sa ibang paraan niya lang sana ako ginigising..."Mira gumising ka na magsisimula na tayo sa training" Gustong gusto ko talaga si Enrique pero sa mga ganitong pagkakataon gustong gusto ko siyang batuhin nitong bedside table.Ilang araw na nagsimula ang training namin. Ang sakit ng katawan ko. I even have bruises on my body. Gosh, ngayon lang to nangyari. That's why I hate fighting. I always give people my good image kahit pa gusto ko na silang pagsisipain. Ang hindi lang nila alam kapag kinakalaban nila ako, pailalim ako tumitira. Like ruining their buisness or something."Mira," He said in a

    "Ano? Hanggang diyan nalang ba kayo?" Pang-aasar ko sa mga bata. Sumimangot naman sila sa akin. Kanina pa kasi kami naglalaro ng Sipa. Hindi kasi nila matalo-talo ang score ko na 98. "Ang galing mo naman ate Mira, sa susunod tatalunin na talaga kita." Natawa naman ako kay Tonyo isa sa mga bata dito sa ampunan. Lumapit ako sa isa at ginulo ang buhok niya. Isinandal ko pa ang siko ko sa ibabaw ng ulo niya. "Ate Mira crush mo ba si Kuya Culver?" Tanong ng isa ngumiti naman ako sa kanila. Nag squat ako at pinalapit ko silang lahat sa akin. "Secret lang natin ito ha? Crush na crush ko kasi siya. Kaya dapat tulungan niyo ako para magig crush niya rin ako." Nagsipag tanguan naman sila at parang mga kinikilig na tumatawa. "Meryenda muna tayo!" Tawag ni Rita. "Mag meryenda na muna kayo then we will play again. Dapat matalo niyo na ako, okay?" Tumango naman sila sa akin at tumakbo papalapit kay Rita na nginitian ako. I waved back at her pagkatapos ay tumakbo ako palapit kay Enrique na kani

    Narinig kong bumukas ang pinto ng kwarto ni Enrique pero nakaupo lang ako at ipinagpatuloy ang pag basa. Bahala siya sa buhay niya. I've been giving him a cold shoulder for two days ever since makabalik kami galing sa ampunan.Hindi ko naman siya iniiwasan pero hindi ko din siya pinapansin. Bahala na kung magka panisan kami ng laway. Kami lang naman dalawa dito edi kami lang ang mag aamuyan ng hiningang panis.I don't know why he acted like that towards me samantalang concerned lang naman ako na baka nasaktan siya. I know naman kasi na kasalanan ko kung bakit kami natumba pero hindi naman yata tama na ganon ang inasal niya sa akin.It's like this every time I tried to help him, he only makes me feel like I'm a nuisance."Lalabas muna ako." Tumango lang ako at hindi nagsalita. Ni hindi ko siya tinapunan ng tingin. I heard him sigh. "Mira.."Inalis ko ang tingin sa libro ko at tinignan siya. I raised both my eyebrows. "May kailangan ka?"Ilang sandali pa siyang tumitig sa akin. "Wala."

    Nagising ako sa malakas na ingay sa sala, madilim pa. Nag ayos ng damit at lumabas upang puntahan kung ano yung ingay. Hindi kaya nandito na si Enrique? Dalawang araw na kasi siyang wala para puntahan si kuya."Enrique?" Walang sumagot. I tried to walk slower dahil iba ang kutob ko. The noise stopped when I called his name. Mabilis kong hinablot ang vase na naka display sa corridor para maghanda kung sakali man na masamang tao nga. Nakarinig ako ng nabasag at nang sumilip ako sa sala nakita ko si Enrique na nakaupo sa sahig."Fuck fuck fuck." I heard him mutter. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag nang makita siya. Lumapit ako at nakita ko na may dugo sa dailiri niya."My gosh Enrique anong nangyari sayo?" Ibinaba ko ang vase na hawak ko sa sofa ba malapit at agad na lumapit sa kanya. I can smell liquor on his breath. "Are you drunk?"He didn't said anything at tinitigan lang ako."Wait I'll just get the medicines doon sa cabinet." Tatayo na sana ako pero pinigilan niya ako sa braso gamit ang wa

    I raised a brow upon seeing Enrique sit. Nakahawak siya sa ulo niya and I know na may hang over siya. At isa pa, hinayaan ko lang siya na matulog sa sahig so baka rin siguro masakit ang katawan niya sa tigas ng sahig, but I doubt it. Baka sing tigas din ng yummy niyang katawan ang marble floor niya."So? Are you okay na ba?" Medyo mataray na tanong ko sa kanya. I still can't get over the fact that she called me by her ex's name."Mira?" I rolled my eyes at him. Of course it's me Enrique, you idiot. May iba pa ba? Pero imbes na yun ang sabihin ko, umiling ako at tinignan siya ng masama."No. I'm Laila." I said with a poker face. His face became pale na para bang nawala lahat ng dugo sa mukha niya. "You called me by that name last night.""Fuck." I heard him mutter. Yan tama yan magmura ka kapag naririnig ang pangalan ng ex mong sumalangit na."Kaya pala ayaw mo sa akin dahil may ibang babae ka." I crossed my arms at tumitig pa sa kanya habang nakataas ang isang kilay. Syempre I have to

    Ilang segundo na nakalapat ang labi namin sa isa't-isa. My eyes are open and his are closed. Hindi ako makakibo sa sobrang gulat. Ni hindi na makapag isip ang utak ko kung ano na ang dapat kong gawin.He started to move his lips and that's it. Nawala na ako sa sarili ko at nagpadala na. Napapikit ako at sinabayan ang mga labi ni Enrique. I noticed that his lips are hesitant to move more pero I'm not letting this moment pass by so I started to lead the kiss.Our tongue tangled and I can taste him. A mixture of mint and cigarette, I think. Alam ko na Enrique smoke because I see cigarette butts sa ash tray sa veranda pero hindi ko pa siya nakita na nanigarilyo. Isinabit ko ang mga braso ko sa balikat niya. He held me on my waist and pulled me closer to him.Then he stopped. He freaking stopped and lightly pushed me away."This is wrong." Kumunot ang noo ko dahil sa sinabi niya. What the hell? I thought it's going well. The kiss was going well."Ano?" Baka mali lang ako ng narinig. Ano an

    "That's right. Demitri's not here cause Mira's leaving." Agad akong napatingin kay Klaus. He's talking to Trei and Keith, he minimized his voice for me not to hear it, but I did. Klaus' voice is always loud even when he tries to minimize it. "Ang alam ko wala nanaman planong bumalik yung babaeng yun." I immediately stood up. Napatingin naman sa akin si Trei at Klaus, habang nakayuko lang si Keith at natutulog. "Where?" Kumunot naman ang noo ni Klaus. "Dude are you alright?" Hindi ako nagsalita. "Can I tell you something?" "No." I immediately answered but he ignored me. "You look like a caveman Montreverde. You haven't shave for weeks! Halos hindi kita makilala kanina." Hindi ko pinansin ang sinabi niya. Ang daldal talaga ng taong to. "Where is she?" Kailangan ko siyang makita. Kahit isang sulyap lang. Kahit isang segundo lang. I miss her. I miss her annoying voice. I miss her loud laughter. I just... miss everything about her, because I love her. "Sino?" Alam kong alam niya kun

    "Culv, while you're there can you check on my sister?" Demitri asked while we talked through the phone. I just finished a mission here in Madrid and he asked me if I can look how his little sister is doing.Demitri is one of my closest friend. Tinulungan niya akong bumangon sa mga panahon lubog na lubog ako. He helped me in building my buisness. He is-was, I mean-my wife's cousin. Demitri is also a good friend. Kaya naman gagawin ko ang lahat ng pabor na kaya kong gawin para sa kanya."Alright." He gave me his sister's location and I immediately went there and looked for Mira. Hindi ko pa talaga siya nakikita ng personal dahil mahilig daw maglibot sa iba't-ibang bansa ang kapatid niya.I went to the place where he said his sister is and waited for the picture of his sister. Nang makuha ko ang litrato, halos mabitawan ko ang cellphone ko.He looks exactly like her. Like my wife.My eyes scanned the room and there she is laughing and drinking with old men and women as they share jokes.

    One year together and Enrique still hadn't proposed to me! Gosh! I'm not getting any younger. Mom keeps on teasing me na hindi daw ako nag mana sa kanya dahil hanggang ngayon hindi parin ako pinapakasalan ni Enrique. She said that when it was her and dad, six months after they met nagpakasal na sila. Eh kasi naman pinikot niya si daddy!I should've grabbed the chance when she saw us inside my room a year ago. Dapat sinakyan ko na si Mommy at sinabihan si Enrique na Mom's right! Kailangan niya nga akong panagutan. Edi sana we have our cute chikitings na."You're still young Mira. Maghintay ka lang kasi." I rolled my eyes at Jaqie."Says someone na nag propose sa asawa niya." Jaqie just laughed at me. Kanina pa siya kain ng kain. Lumalaki na din ang tiyan niya since 8 months na siyang buntis."Naalala ko nung kasal ko, masiyado kang desidido na saluhin ang bouquet ko para ikaw na ang sunod na ikasal. Look at you now, hindi mo nasalo kaya hindi ka parin kasal." Julian and her both laughe

    "Alin ma?" I asked innocently na para bang nung hinulog ko si Enrique sa sahig makakalimutan ni mommy na he saw us sleeping together."Don't act innocent on me Miranda Fleur. Mas magaling akong umarte kesa sayo. Ano ang ibig sabihin nito?" He looked at Enrique na ngayon ay nakaupo na sa sahig at hinihimas ang ulo niya. He must've hit his head nung nahulog siya."We were just sleeping-""I knew it!" I looked at my mom weirdly. Bakit ba galit na galit siya eh we were just sleeping lang naman talaga! She's being hysterical na diyan."Mom calm down. We were just sleeping together!""Jusporsanto Miranda! You were SLEEPING TOGETHER!!" She fanned herself using his hands. Nakatulala lang si Enrique sa kanya. Shocked yata siya sa pagiging over acting ni mommy. "Ano nalang ang sasabihin ng mga amiga ko? That I have a daughter who sleeps around?""What's wrong with sleeping?" I muttered."What's going on here?" Nagsilingunan kami nang marinig ang boses ni kuya Demitri. "Mom? When did you get bac

    I showered and Julian must've lend Enrique my brother's clothes dahil nung kumatok siya sa kwarto ay bagong ligo na din si Enrique at nakabihis ng tshirt ni kuya. Julian and I both insisted that he sleeps on the guest room. That's two bedrooms away from mine."I just want to check on you. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Umiling ako. I walked towards my bed and tucked myself in while sit and leaned my back on the headboard. I patted the space beside me.Enrique's face was hesitant and I rolled my eyes. Not this again. I arched my brows at him and twitched my lips to one side. I saw him gulped. Jusko naman, why is he like that ba? Akala mo naman I will rape him here. Hindi naman ako namimilit if hindi pa siya ready...Hindi parin siya gumalaw so I pointed my finger at him and then beside me. Ngumiti ako ng malapad when he sighed and made his way to sit beside me. Pero nasa ibabaw lang siya ng comforter nakaupo. I rolled my eyes. Conservative masiyado kainis! It's not like

    I don't know kung ilang oras na kaming nandito ni Rustan sa loob ng garage. I'm also thirsty and hungry. I don't even see the kidnappers, all I saw was two guys na naglalaro ng cards while smoking some cigarettes sa gilid at binabantayan kami. Gosh, typical kidnappers that I see in a movie. Akala ko oa lang sila pero totoo pala. How lame. Wala bang something na kakaiba? Yung hindi ko nakikita sa mga action movies?Nanlaki ang mga mata ko as we heard a gunshot not far away from here."Finally!" Rustan said exasperatedly."Anong finally? Bakit finally?" I asked na natataranta. I hate guns. I hate the sound they make. I have a feeling na I'm gonna get killed tonight."My brother's team is here." He said with a smirk. Hindi ako natuwa. Omg! Don't tell me walang pulis? Anong oras dadating ang pulis?! Kapag safe na kami? Gosh! Are we shooting some lame filipino movie here? But as reality show?!The two guys immediately stood up and took their guns. Five or six more went inside. Lumapit sila

    "Enrique's brother?" He smirked. Hindi ko alam na may kapatid siya pero super magkahawig talaga sila. Except-napansin ko-sa color ng eyes. Enrique' eyes are grey, sa kanya ay itim and Enrique doesn't make a smirk like that."Are you twins?" He chuckled and slowly shook his head.Kung sabagay, sa malayuan talagang mapagkakamalan mo siyang si Enrique, but seeing him up close you'll see the differences. This guy has a rounder face than him and Enrique has a mysterious aura around him, while Rustan has this bad boy image. Also, Enrique's body structure is a little bigger, but I think magkalapit lang ang height nilang dalawa."We're half brothers, actually." I was taken aback by what he said. May kapatid sa labas si Enrique?"He didn't tell me he has a brother." Bakit wala manlang akong alam na he has a half brother pala? He didn't even mention it to me. Ang alam ko kasi solong anak siya ng mga Monteverde."That's because he also didn't know-until last year when he accidentally saw me in a

    "Mira ready na for your interview?" One of the crew asked me as my make up artist finishes my make up. Tumango ako at ngumiti. I have an interview today since our episode was a success. The management wants to expose us more to the viewers. I know for sure that they are doing this to see if they will want me sign a contract with them."My gosh momsh yung eyebags mo putok na putok! Mabuti nalang magaling ako. Charan! Waley ng bakas ng pinagpuyatan mo." I chuckled. Kanina pa kasi siya frustrated dahil sa eyebags ko na masiyadong namamaga. He even gave an exaggerated scream when he saw me.It's been two weeks since I last saw Enrique and in those two weeks, hindi ako makatulog. I'm so depressed, stressed-lahat na yata ng negative vibes nasa akin na. I always think about our last conversation.Mali ba ako? Did I made the wrong decision by pushing him away? Was I too much? Those are the questions that has been bugging me for two weeks.I it's really over for the both of us dahil kahit shad

    The interview ended smoothly, although wala nang ibang ginawa ang hosts kundi ang i-issue na nasa dating stage kami ni Sage. We both denied it and said that we're only friends. We told them about how we actually met at kinuwento namin sa kanila kung anong nangyari talaga. They asked us if there's a possibility that we'll be together in the future, we didn't say any straight answers to keep the fans' excitement, of course it was all part of the script.I arrived at home, all the lights are off. My brows furrowed. Madilim at parang walang katao-tao. It looks a little bit creepy."Hello?" I shouted. Asan sila kuya Demitri at si Jules? Wag nilang sabihin na nag out of town nanaman sila at nag honeymoon without telling me?!I walked towards the garden when I saw a dim light. My eyes widen as I saw Enrique holding a bouquet of flowers and he's smiling at me. Nakita ko din na may table at candles na nakahanda. The ambiance looked like it's romantic but I cannot feel any romance. Manhind na y
