The phone rang for more than a minute before it could wake Nate up. He's exhausted from working on his sketch the entire afternoon yesterday apart from doing other things related to his real work and his upcoming wedding.The clock shows 9AM."Good morning," Nina greeted him on the other line. "Did you just wake up?" she asked."Yeah, I did. I'm so tired. I'm not gonna lie," Nate said."Oh, my love. Just rest until you are okay. Anyway, it's already Friday. You can relax plus I will treat you to dinner later," she said with excitement."That sounds like a plan," he said."Can you bring the bigger car later? I have some large artworks to bring to our sponsors," she asked."Sure. I'll be in the gallery probably after lunch. Make sure to have your lunch. I'll get some more sleep," he said."Okay. I love you," she said that surprised him."That's a first," he said.Nina hung up before he could say more and prolong the conversation.Nate is suddenly thrilled by Nina's sweetness th

There's something about the sound of the rain that makes one fall asleep easily. It rained all night giving Cela some peaceful sleep. She woke up the following morning hearing the gentle sound of rain drops tapping on her window as the wind blows to that direction.Seeing the gloomy weather outside, she didn't have second thought about postponing her plans for the day and just stay home. She keeps reminding herself that she is supposed to be on vacation and she should never feel guilty for not working.The time is a little past 9AM, which means she had a long sleep. She opened her cellphone and instantly saw text messages from Nanny Rita. She decided to call her instead of texting her back."Thank goodness, Celadine. We were worried. We couldn't reach you last night," Nanny Rita said with great relief in her voice."I turned off my phone last night. I didn't want to be bothered. I wasn't feeling well," Cela explained."But how are you feeling right now?" Nanny Rita asked. Cela s

Looking at herself in mirror, many questions come to Cela's mind. It may sound as regret but one of the things she asks herself is why she never found the time to find Nate much earlier even if he's always in her memory. Why only now when it's already late?Nate checks his looks in the camera of his phone.  He knows this meeting should never be more than friendly. It's to provide closure for that one thing that is still roaming around his head silently but will never go away by simply ignoring it.  He has to face it and close it before he can move on to a wonderful life that's waiting for him. That life, he deserves it.It's Sunday morning and most of the families coming to the park are attending church services.  The park is more quiet than it's usually is most days of the week. Nate arrived early."Hello!" He greeted Cela as soon he saw her enter the gate of the park.  She waved at him. She looks more relax now.

"Just focus on the road," Cela told herself as she drives her car. The road is clear and the sky has no signs of possible rain but the chaos is right inside of her.She wants to stop but forces herself to continue."Soon, it will be dark and the night will take over. Another day is coming and there I will go." She thought for a moment. "Maybe I should start writing songs," she even told herself.Today was harder than she thought and brought more baggages than unloading them. Nate was right about having a lot of things that they have yet to discuss but she had to leave before it became much harder to let go.She wanted to stay much longer. She wanted to tell him how much he missed him after all these years. Now she has to deal with the enormous amount of regret brought by knowing she didn't try hard enough to do every possible thing to see him again much sooner rather than later because it's too late now.And that embrace. It was the most heartbreaking thing that happened today. Ni

Nanny Rita has never looked so beautiful than she looks today.  The happiness in her eyes are overflowing and so are the tears."Aww...don't cry.  You're ruining your make-up!" Joyce said."Believe me, I'm trying my hardest not to. It's just that I never imagined this would still happen to me at my age now.  Who would have thought?" Nanny Rita said."There you go again.  Need I tell you a hundred times more that you are not old?  You're not even 50 yet," Rolan said.Cela gave a bouquet of flowers to her beloved nanny. "I'm so happy for you and you deserve it," she said to her."I feel like I am going to get married in church but I'll save that for you," Nanny Rita said."Okay, I have a decade to wait for that so please continue praying," Cela joked."I love, guys.  I want everyday to be like this," Rolan said."Stop it, Rolan.  We'll be late," Cela said to prevent everyone from turning emotion
