The rain pours down heavily right after Zofi stepped out of the building to go home.“Really?” she said to herself.Despite not bringing one, she searches her bag hoping there will be an umbrella inside.“I could pass the time in the café instead,” she continued to talk to herself.She walked as fast as she could, taking shelter under each shed that she passed by until she reached the café where she saw Jiro having coffee and reading the newspaper this morning. She shrugged her shoulders. “I am not afraid of him. I can face him and his girlfriend,” she was still talking to herself.“This way to the dryer,” the cafe staff said.“Thank you. I will order first,” she said.“It’s better to dry up first,” the staff said.The café is suddenly filled with customers also waiting for the rain to stop.“What’s your order? By the way, my name is Riri,” the staff asked. “Oh, do you do that here? Would it be unfair to these people falling in line to order?” she asked to be sure as the lines t

“Welcome back, my boy!” Uncle Bruce greeted Billie upon his arrival to their home.“Finally, I’m back! I can't wait to restart!” Billie said.“I know. We all know. It’s been one dramatic, traumatic, scary episode in my life that I want to erase in my head. Who would’ve thought you would be of the first victims of the virus and it happened while you’re in my care,” Uncle Bruce said.“The worst is over, Uncle. Let’s start forgetting about it. I’m now pumped up to pick up from where we left off in our business plans. But to be honest, we really haven't started anything,” Billie said.“Me too. Your father has been calling me almost everyday. Like us, they want to forget that ordeal you went through. Let's focus on something good like our business,” Uncle Bruce said.“Let talk about it now,” Billie said.“Take it easy. You just arrived. Let’s have a hearty dinner first,” Auntie Silvia suggested.“I can’t wait to start, Auntie. I thought I would be stuck in that situation forever

He badly needs this breather from everything that stressed him out and still stressing him out from time to time.Zofi’s package arrival is a blessing.

Zofi woke up from her restful sleep. She opened her eyes and saw the ceiling of her room. She feels the cushion where she’s lying on. It feels like it’s her bed and not the couch in the living room.“Billie!” she screamed as soon as she realized that she’s alone in the room.She ran fast outside the door with her heart beating fast. What if everything that she knew happened yesterday or last night was only a dream?The sight of that back working in the kitchen made her worries stop. She ran to Billie and gives him a back hug. She doesn’t want to let go.“Hey, you’re awake already?” he asked.Zofi didn’t answer. She pressed her face on his back.Billie turnaround and saw her eyes still showing her worries.“Did you cry? Aren’t you feeling well? Do you have headache?” he asked.“I thought everything was unreal,” she said.“Unreal like I wasn’t really here?” he asked.Zofi nodded. He gave her a kiss on her lips.“I’m here. Everything is real,” he said.“I was surprised to find my

Zofi entertains herself by searching through her photos and deciding which one to use as her profile picture on her social media accounts. Every picture is beautiful and shows her and Billie together. She made sure they would take a lot of couple pictures in this recent get together.“That’s it,” she said to herself after she clicked on the save button.It only took a few seconds before she received the first notification on her new profile picture showing the two of them kissing in front of the iconic apartment in New York. “Are you onboard already?” Billie asked on the phone. He called after liking her new profile picture.“Unfortunately, we were told to wait indefinitely. They’re still checking the airplane’s engine,” Zofi said.“Well, it’s better to be safe than sorry,” he said.“But some passengers don’t want to wait,” she said.“Don’t mind them. Just get busy with social media. Your new profile picture is trending,” he joked.“What’s wrong with the aircraft? Why can’t yo

I’ll tell you later,” she said.“Don’t tell me there was someone that needed your help and you delivered,” he assumed.“Most likely,” she said.“Well, it’s no doubt that you enjoyed it too,” he said.“But your ex was present too,” she said.“What?” he asked. “She couldn’t help but messaged me about my profile picture that has you in it,” she said.“I thought you blocked her like I did,” he said.“I forgot to remove her from my other social media. My bad,” she said.“Did you reply?” he asked.“I haven’t. Should I? For sure, she already saw that I read it,” she said.“You have

Zofi stands in front of the café where she passed the time while the rain was pouring heavily two weeks ago. "I'm really here," she said to herself.“Ms. Zofi! You’re back,” Riri greeted her right away.“Hi, Riri. I was out of the country last week,” Zofi said.“Did you go home to the Philippines?” Riri asked.“Ah no. I was sent to the US for a convention. It was a short trip,” Zofi said.“That’s still great. Glad to have you back,” Riri said.“By the way, did someone return your umbrella?” Zofi asked.“Yes. I got it back,” Riri said.Zofi noticed that Riri keeps glancing at the counter area.“I’ll order now.

It’s the least of her concern now.“By the way, I must tell you that Jiro’s in the building and I saw him wearing the shirt,” Natalie said.“I saw him too and I don’t care about him. I might just slap him on the face if comes near me,” Zofi said.“What’s up with the little violence there?” Natalie asked.“Oh, forget about it.
