Did Ruben come?” Magda asked, her eyes searching Arlet’s face for answers.“No, he didn’t come home last night,” Arlet replied, a slight crease of worry forming on her forehead.

Reile, posing as a model, captured the attention of the photographers while Ruben stood behind the cameras, admiring her skills. Arlet stood frozen, her emotions swirling inside her.“I believe we have what we need,” a voice came from the man sitting next to Ruben, indicating their satisfaction with the shoot. It appeared that he was Ruben’s investor, and the backdrop behind Reile showcased their new cabin advertisement.“Mrs. Rodriguez,” Ruben’s secretary called, drawing their attention towards her. Arlet’s gaze shifted from Reile to Ruben, and the sight of them together pained her deeply. It was hurt that cut deeper than anything else she had felt before.

I tried to ask you to sleep in the guest room, but you weren’t ready to move from the couch,” Reile mentioned, gesturing towards the slightly open bedroom door, indicating she had slept inside to keep her distance. Ruben sighed, realizing he hadn’t come here to sleep with her or revisit their past but to seek the truth from Reile.After they finished the shoot the previous evening, Reile left in a taxi. Ruben’s mind was still preoccupied with her words about needing a chance to prove herself. He wanted to hear her truth, as he had realized his heart belonged to Arlet, and he needed to sever the ties

"Sometimes, in order to find ourselves, we must bravely step away from the love that consumes us."~~~~~~~~~Ruben entered the living room, his heart heavy with the weight of his decisions. He watched as Magda busied herself with arranging things in the room, a sense of peace settling over him for having made the right choice. But his weary heart longed for answers. Why did Arlet leave him like this? Would she come back? When would she be back?His footsteps came to a halt as he noticed Magda holding onto a gift box. His curiosity got the better of him, and he couldn’t help but intervene. “What is this?” he asked, his voice tinged with a mix of hope and uncertainty.“Oh, you’re back,” Magda said, a warm smile on her face. She placed the box back in its designated spot and looked at Ruben. “Happy birthday, boss.”Ruben’s eyes widened as he realized the significance of the date.

The ringtone pierced the silence, followed by Magda’s voice on the other end.“Hello, Magda.”“Arlet, how are you?”“I’m... I’m good.”“When are you coming back?” Everyone in the house longed for her return, except the one person she yearned to speak to. Arlet took a deep breath, choosing to ignore Magda’s question for now.“How is Raya doing?”“She’s not in good shape. She misses you,” confirmed Magda. The sinking feeling within Arlet was validated. Raya missed her, and the truth is told, she missed Raya, too.“Can

She wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, feeling the remnants of a vivid nightmare that echoed Raya’s desperate cries. The weight of their last conversation lingered in Arlet’s mind, and she couldn’t help but blame herself for Raya’s pain. She recognized that her nightmare was a result of overthinking the situation.Feeling disoriented, she tossed the duvet aside and stumbled toward the patio, seeking solace in the cool night air.
