"W-wait..." I interrupted the topic and let go of our hug. "What's wrong with you, Bel? Why are you acting like that all of the sudden?" I asked curiously and laughed. "You look like a mother on how you worried about me," I added and giggled. I was trying to divert the conversation. Hoping she would forget about Clark. "Of course! I'm worried!" she whimpered and scratched her neck. "Besides..." She stopped for a moment and looked straight into my eyes. I suddenly felt nervous because of the way she looked at me. "You're important to me," she added in a serious tone. I was stunned by what I heard and stared into her eyes. "Uhmm..." I whispered. Not knowing what to reply to what she had said. Wait. Do I need to say something? I lowered my gaze and thought deeply then turned my gaze back to her. Later, she suddenly smiled. "Because you're my best friend!!" she shouted exaggeratedly and hugged me tight once again. She even lifted me from the ground and spun me around. I couldn'

"Bel?" I uttered in shock. I froze. It was Bel... Don't tell me she's Magda— No! Impossible! I shook my head many times because of the thought. No! It can't be her. "Clark?" she whispered. She went out of the gate. "Why are you here?" she asked in surprise and looked left and right; as if scanning the place. Just because my mind was still debating on what I saw, I didn't respond quickly. I was dumbfounded staring at her. "Are you okay?" she asked worriedly and didn't know if she would go to approach me or not but in the end, she didn't. "Are you looking for Angela?" she added and waved her hand in front of me, just to wake me up and get back to my senses. Her eyebrows were raised, a sign that she was impatient waiting for my answer. "Ah... No!" I answered a bit loudly and gulped. It seemed she was confused at my reaction while looking at me. "Okay... Come inside first," she invited and opened the gate widely. I didn't hesitate to go inside her house. "Sit there. I'll just

Angela’s POV"Do you have anything left?" I asked my siblings who were now fixing their things."Yes, sister!" Maymay responded enthusiastically while clutching her bag on her shoulder. Kokoy, on the other hand, was already done fixing his things."Angela, water?" Bel offered to me which surprised me by her sudden appearance behind me. Looked like she had fixed her things.I nodded to her in response and accepted the glass of water she was offering."Thank you.""Where's Clark?" she asked out of curiosity.I gulped the water inside of my mouth first and handed the glass back to her afterward."He's in his room. Changing his clothes," I answered and sat down on the nearby sofa. Bel quickly followed me and gently put down the glass on the glass table."The kids are having fun here," she suddenly spoke into the air. I looked in her direction and I saw she was smiling as she looked at my siblings who still haven't stopped running here inside Clark's house. Clark's house is spacious so Kok

"Are you happy with our date today?" the man who was walking beside me asked. We walked towards my house."Yes. I'm so happy," I whispered, enough for him to hear it. I tightened my hug to the teddy bear that he gave to me earlier. This was the prize he won at the amusement park."I'm happy to hear that."We both stopped walking when we were in front of the door. We looked and stared into each other's eyes.I could see in his eyes that he enjoyed the day with me. I smiled."I'll go inside," I bid goodbye and pointed to the door. He nodded as he stared at me."Be careful when driving," I reminded him. I approached the doorknob and turned it. I was about to open the door when Clark suddenly grabbed my arm. I was startled and I looked at his face."Angela, wait,” he stopped me. I released my grip on the doorknob."Do you forget something—" I was cut off on what I was supposed to say when he grabbed my both shoulders and pulled me closer to him. He bowed his head slightly then reached my

"It's all coming from Clark?""Yes, Bel. He gave me a gift." I was referring to the floral dress I'm wearing right now."And those shoes…" I pointed at the shoe rack on the side; near the door."That's for Kokoy, then Maymay received a doll from Clark. Well, Maymay is already playing it right now in the neighborhood with her friends," I told Bel.We were here in the living room, having small talk. I already finished doing the laundry, the ones I received from the neighbors. I already received the rent for the laundry as well.It had been more than a week since Clark visited here. It was the day he gave us a gift. I communicated with him using my keypad cellphone. He told me he has been busy for a week so he doesn't have any free time to visit us. He has a lot to do in their company. Since there was nothing I could do to help him with the problem he was facing right now, I could only give him text messages, reminding him to eat at the right time and take a rest. I also thought of cookin
