TWO days have passed and I really enjoy my stay here in Zamboanga. 

My older brother just came home from Malaysia and before we returned to Davao, we ate at a restaurant. We also went around, he said he would spend time with me on the days when I was not with him.

At first, I was upset to my brother because I thought I couldn't be with him. I understand that he's very busy and I'm still very grateful because he still give me his time to bond with him.

Now we were on our way home and boarded a plane when we saw James sitting in the front seat, on the other side where I used to sit. He was wearing a simple v-neck shirt and pants fitted on him. Add to that his aviator shades that I don't think are necessary. It's gloomy today, so I thought, for his style?

“ James?”

“ Hey.” he greeted and slightly nodded.

    I went home with a heavy heart. I immediately went to my room and lay down. I can't understand myself right now after I heard what Aunt Gisselle just told me. Is James already in America?And he didn't inform me. I was shocked as I heard that. I kinda feel disappointed and confused at the same time. I don't know the reason to why he left. He just told me that he will back to America but I did not expect that it will this early.As far as I know, we're in good terms. We did not meet for four or more days and during those days, he didn't show up. Not that I miss him, it's just that, I'm used to always seeing him.I feel sad that I will not meet him again, maybe. America is too far away. Eventhough there's social media to where I can use to communicate to him, it's still different when I talk to him personally.Surprisingly, he did not say that he would leave suddenly without saying goodbye. I thought he wo

    "Jane, you have a visitor, they are downstairs."I was surprised when I heard what Jace said and the word 'they' mentioned. Why so many? I thought it was just Chelsea and me.Today is the day Chels and I agreed to hang out.

So I'm very excited because and at last, I can go out again.I wonder who's Chelsea's companions, she said that we are the only two to hang out.

    My forehead creased to what she said, didn't understanding what she meant.“Why did you move from your house? If we hadn't asked Ethan, we wouldn't have known.”I was stunned for a moment and looked at Ethan who's now turned his attention to me."Ah, daddy took me from Grandma, the one where I used to live.""You're hella rich, Jane," I heard Luke said. I looked at him and nodded slowly. “That's why your surname is familiar because you are the daughter of Mr. Valdez, my dad's friend. ”I couldn't answer and just looked away. Why didn't I tell them about my situation?“Yes, everything you said is true. We are rich and I am one of the heirs of my family, but I don't like that kind of life. I just want something simple and peaceful. It does have pressure and great responsibility because of my family business. ” I answered as I

    We gaze at the driver's seat when the door opened and Nathan entered.“Snacks guys. We're close to Jane subdivision.”I nodded. I got a snack for myself and opened it. I eat quietly while thinking things. What if, Cheska didn't left? What if she just told us her reason? And is there really only one reason for her to leave or something else? What could have happened if ever she hadn't rejected Zaine's confession? Will it give a change?Even me, I can't seem to find the answers to that questions. She has her beautiful life here. She has friends and family here that are willing to be with her.I can't understand myself, the first day she left, I understand her situation but as days passed by and many questions weren't answered, I'm confused.

I weakly smiled at him as he sit beside me. The sun is not very bright today because it is still early."How are you?" he asked as he sat beside me."I'm fine dad," I replied and bowed. "I want to say sorry about last night.""Don't mention it, baby." he said that made me teary eyes ay I looked down. The weight on my chest to hear it always bring back the memories when I was young.

Lenard opened the gate and entered the car used by older brother.I bid goodbye to Lenard who was coming in and his only response was a smile. I caught dad getting out of the car and turned on my direction as I approached him.“Good evening, dad. The Madrigal's are already here.” I said after I kissed his cheeks. He nodded at me."Why are you still outside?" He questioned."I'm waiting for you.""Okay, let's go inside."I followed him and saw that my older brother had gone to his room first.

I can’t help but to admire her beauty. Those pinkish lips, her long wavy hair, her captivating eyes and her good personality. She has it all. The brain and the beauty, but what I really admire about her is her kindness and humbleness as she act and speak towards people.“ You’ve waited, huh?” she smiled. She put the stethoscope inside her big bag. I was just staring at her yet I can’t stopped smiling as I was looking at the woman I waited for so long.“ Zaine? You okay?” she asked.

I nodded at Zaine who was seriously looking at me as his eyebrows are furrowed.“ You can’t remember her but surely your heart will identify her.” I said to him before I went out leaving him inside.

I was left astonished by what he said and all I can do is to look at him with mixed emotions I am still wanting to stop.But I guess I can't. It just gotten worst because of what he just said. All of the words were as if a reminder to me that he really cares even though his memories were lost as for the moment.He was just seriously looking at them.

    I forced a smile even though I couldn’t understand what was happening. I didn’t know what to say, the right words to let him know that I wasn’t the ‘best friend’ he was referring to. He smiled as he said that as if he is not doubting his own answer.“Why? How did it happen?" Ethan asked next to me. Even him could trace the confusion and shock on his face. I think he didn't expect this to happen too. None of us expected this to happen.“Why? Did I say something confusing?” Zaine's muttered. He leaned against the headboard of his bed and looked at us and those eyes was the last thing that stares to me. He was also confuse, but neither of us can't give him the answer to his question."For how long did you remember Zaine?" Luke interfered. He got his camera and show something to Zaine. I think he was showing someone on that photo that caused Zaine to frown."Who's that girl?" he pointed at the ca
