"Mom, I just landed here in the Philippines." I am holding my bags while talking with my Mom through Skype, my friend is here to fetch me.
"That was nice sweet heart, is Enrique there?" Mom asked and then I saw Enrique coming towards me holding a placard saying 'Welcome Back To The Philippines Katie.'
"Yes mommy, he is here, look." I immediately turned my phone to face Enrique, he just gave my mom a cute smile, he's cute.
"Hi Tita." He greeted my Mom then hugged me, my eyes get widened because of it. Why is he hugging me? Is there someone in this place that I am associated to before?
"You are too clingy to Katie, Enrique." Mom point out her fingers so Enrique stopped hugging me.
"I'm sorry Tita, I just missed my best friend." He bowed at Mom, I'm secretly laughing cause I know Mommy was just kidding.
"Okay Kate, I'm going to turn off this call muna, have some time with yourself and Enrique. Eat a healthy lunch please." When the call was turned off, Enrique pulled me inside a fastfood chain.
"Do you still eat this kinds of foods?" He asked while looking at the menu.
"Not really, but do I have a choice?" He bite his lower lip and called the waiter and order food for us. I only ordered Frenchfries and iced tea. I don't wanna eat that much.
"You're funny." He said, what's funny with what I'm doing right now? Is it funny to dip the fries in the sundae? Not!
"You're funny than me, look at your face, you have a spaghetti sauce near your lips." I want to laugh loud but I can't do it, I'll get an attention if I'm going to do it.
"Let's stop this hahaha, let's finish this food and I'll take you to your condo." He said then we eat quick after that he stand up and give his hands on me.
"Thank you." I smiled before he brought me at his car.
"Are you in a relationship right now?" I asked him while he was driving.
"Yes, 4 years and counting, I hope that she'll be my last." His smile are so genuine, he really love that girl, I don't know if what's going to happen if they broke up.
"I am also praying for it, what's her name?" Tanong ko.
"She is Alexandria, she's also a singer." He said while I am browsing my phone and then a notification popped up. From my manager.
"Ah Enrique, my manager told me to go in the office now." I said.
"Tell your manager that you don't have a free time today, you need to rest." He looked like a big brother at me.
"I want to work again, I don't want me to take a weeks sitting and lying around my bed, I wanna be productive." He parked his car then help me with my things.
"Katie. Stay here." He commanded me, is there something wrong?
"Why?" I asked.
"Your man is around." He said so I search for Nicko, I don't know what to feel when our eyes met.
"Let's go." I heard Enrique say that when he saw Nicko that is coming towards me.
"No, I can do this." I said then tell him to leave first.
"It's been a while since I last saw you my Mundo." Nicko say that in a baritone voice, I control my emotions, I don't want to blush in front of him. That was so embarrassing!
"But you gave up your Mundo just because you want the Universe, but do the universe can give you the love that Mundo gave?" I asked him with no emotions in my eyes.
"Universe is bigger than your Mundo but do Universe be completed if there is no Mundo?" That question was very meaningful. It was a figure of speech I guess.
"My life will never be completed without you...." He said and I raided my brows ar him.
"It will always be complete Nicko, you can live without me... Just forget me. We're not for each other." I said and then walked away.
I'll get inside my condo.
"What happened?" Enrique asked when he saw me at the door of my condo.
"I make him realize what he have lost and I walked away after that." I said.
"Did you see in his eyes that he still cares for you?" Quen asked me again after I sat on the sofa.
"I don't know... I don't even look at his eyes." I said.
"You. Do you still care for him?" He meaningfully asked.
"No. I don't care about him." I immediately answered.
"Okay. So Do you still love him?"
"I don't know."
