Looking at Kashmir's innocent face, Amaro slowly removed Kashmir’s arm from his waist and untangled their legs. He went to his room and took a bath. He donned his casual clothes and headed back to Kashmir’s room.
"Good morning sleepy head it's about time you woke up" Amaro's baritone voice rang that awakened Kashmir from her dream.
Kashmir dreamed about Amir again, those blue eyes that are like the ocean that drowns her. She opened her eyes and saw Amaro seated at her bedside. He was smiling at her and his eyes looked somewhat familiar.
"Good morning" she said, covering her mouth with her palm because she doesn't want Amaro to smell her breath in the morning.
"Why are you covering your mouth while speaking to me?" Amaro asked her with a teasing tone.
Kashmir no longer argued with him. She just bowed her head and stared at her hand. She remained in that position until her phone rang. "Don't move. I'll take the phone to you" Amaro ordered He got up, strode, took the phone on the nightstand and strode back to Kashmir. "Thank you" she said Kashmir answered the phone, "Hello, who is this?" she frowned upon knowing who the caller was. "Yes, it's Kashmir speaking" she said "How may I help you Mr. Smith?" she rolled her eyes. Instantaneously, Amaro got agitated hearing the name 'Mr. Smith' but was replaced by pleasure later on because of Kashmir's cold attitude toward Mr. Smith.&nbs
One night while Kashmir and Amaro were having dinner in their favorite restaurant, Kashmir's phone rang, she ignored it because Amaro and her were talking about work. She doesn't want to interrupt Amaro who was discussing important things about the new company that wants to collaborate with them. Kashmir’s phone kept on ringing, she was embarrassed and annoyed at the same time because of the persistent ringing of her phone. Finally, she decided to power off her phone. She smiled sheepishly and said, "Excuse me. I'll have to power off my phone, it's interrupting us." "I think it's an important call, why don't you answer it first and we can continue later" he said thinking that the call is important that's why the caller is persistent. She opened her bag, fished out her phone and saw who was calling. Her heart sudd
The 9 hours flight seems like an eternity to Kashmir because she wanted to see her father badly. Being alone in the private jet, with no one to talk to, she somehow missed Amaro's presence. With him she is not bored and she feels secure when he is around. Kashmir arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila at 11 o' clock in the evening. Her friend Ryan is already waiting for her. Ryan is Kashmir's and Yolly's childhood friend. Although they are of different ages, they still became good friends. Ryan is a successful architect. Yolly contacted him when she knew that Kashmir would arrive at 11 pm, taking a cab late at night is not safe so she asked Ryan to pick her sister at the airport. In the car, Kashmir noticed that Ryan was yawning. She said to Ryan who was yawning while driving, "Ryan, thank you for coming to pick me up at this hour."
Mr. Lara was finally discharged from the hospital. Everyday at 7 in the morning Rain visited Mr. Lara to check on him.Today, Rain did the same as he usually does, after doing the necessary thing to his patient. Rain was about to say goodbye when Mr. Lara invited him for breakfast."Doctor Madrigal, have breakfast first before going to the hospital." Mr. Lara said.Rain accepted Mr. Lara's invitation. They went to the dining hall, everyone was already at the table except for Kashmir."Where is Kashmir?" asked Mr. Lara"She is in her room; she will come by and by," said Yolly.As they were about to begin to eat Kashmir came into the dining hall.
"Mother, I am going to pick Sugar Apples and Java Plum. I heard that there are lots of them near the fishpond." Kashmir held a basket, wearing a denim short, white fitted t- shirt and sneakers, she is all set for her fruit picking activity. "You take care of yourself and don't climb the tree." Her mom said. "I know what you are up to." she winked at Kashmir. "Yes, mom." Kashmir had a mischievous smile. "I don't like that kind of smile." Kashmir’s mom shook her head. "Wife, let her be. Let her enjoy before going back to work." Mr. Lara said. "Bye, father and mother" she kissed their forehead and ran. She knows t
Kashmir helped prepare the food for dinner. She has made sure that the food being prepared will be the right food for Amaro. After she helped prepare the food, she went to Yolly's room to freshen up. "Sister, I heard that your boss is here." Yolly spoke, coming out from the bathroom. "Yes, you heard it right," Kashmir said. "Is he your boyfriend?" Yolly asked with a smirk on her face. "No, he is not." Kashmir glared at her sister. "I don't believe it, your boss won't come here if he is not your boyfriend." Yolly said while brushing her hair. "We are just friends, Yolly." She is now annoyed with her sister. "I think he is interes
The next morning at 4 am, Kashmir got up early and washed up. She donned a work out outfit. As she walked out of Yolly's room, Amaro walked out of his room at the same time. Their eyes locked for a few seconds. "Good morning, princess" Amaro’s voice was husky. He was also wearing a work out outfit as if both of them talked about it. "Good morning, Amaro." She greeted him, smiling. "I assume you are going to go for some exercise today" Kashmir said as she walked past Amaro. "As your outfit says, you too are going for some exercise" he said. And strode to her and they walked side by side. "Yes, I will go for a run." She turned the door knob to open the door.
"There's a hot spring there" Andres said to pique her interest "Oh really?!" she exclaimed "Yes, we have a hot spring here. You can take Amaro with you." Mrs. Lara said. Kashmir, averted her gaze and saw Amaro walking towards them. Her lips curled up seeing Amaro walking regally even when clad in casual clothes. Amaro stood beside her and intertwined their fingers. Kashmir felt a shiver running down her spine. "Andres, take Kashmir and Amaro to the hot spring so they can soak and relax." Mrs. Lara said. "Yes, aunt Luna." Andres answered. "Get the things you need now Kashmir, so you can start to hike. You will ride a Kuliglig but you are going to take a hike to be able
