Paul is making his way to enter Serena's house when he suddenly heard someone laughing from a distance. He turned his heel to turn around, and he immediately saw Serena running, while another girl is running behind her.He thoughtfully frowned while looking at the other girl. It was his first time seeing her, and he wondered who she is.Serena's beloved dog, Ardon is chasing the two girls.The girl suddenly stops running when he saw him, and their eyes met for a brief moment. Paolo smiled at her, but the girl avoided his gaze, and she was obviously embarrassed..."Hey there, Paolo!" Serena suddenly calls him.Paolo turned his attention to Serena who was happily waving at him. He walked towards them, while smiling."Serena, I know I've been a jerk, and I came here to apologize to you. I was bored as hell without seeing my bestfriend for so many days..." he sincerely apologizes, as he handed a bunch of wild flowers to Serena. Serena smilingly accepted the flowers."And you got all thes

After two hours of non-stop rehearsals, the director finally calls for a break. Via smilingly waited for Paolo and Serena to cone to the audience's seat, where she is right now.While she is waiting, she can't help but notice a girl who's staring at Paolo. She also noticed that the girl keeps on touching and flirting with Paolo. Via then turned her eyes to where Serena was. She's talking to their director, and she was too absorbed in their conversation that she doesn't notice anything.Via felt sorry for her sister, and for herself too... =============================Later that evening."I really hate that girl!"Via turned her attention to Serena and closed the book that she was reading. She then went to her sister's bed, who looks clearly annoyed."Who are you talking about?" Via asked, even though she already know who her sister hates."That Brianna! She was openly flirting with Paolo, and she's been doing it since our freshman year in high school!" she said it all in one breath

The next morning... It was a lovely and sunny Saturday morning, but Serena was feeling nervous as she makes her way downstairs.This is the day that she will tell her father and sister about her new relationship with Paolo. She's been practicing the right words to say since last night, and she's hoping that she'll be able to say them all right.She took a deep, calming breath first before she went straight to the dining room. She found her father and Via who were already having breakfast."Good morning, Daddy. Morning, Via." Serena tries her best to sound more natural and casual, eventhough she's feeling nervous as hell deep inside.Her father looked at her with a bright smile on his face."Good morning, Serena. I was expecting you to wake up late because you attended the victory party last night. But you woke up at a perfect time. Come, join me and your sister for breakfast." Don Rafael suggested to his eldest daughter.At the same time, Via happily put some scrambled eggs, fried ri

Few months have passed since their first meet up at the big city after a long time,Paolo and Brianna became great friends since they are studying at the same University.Serena, on the other hand, continued on having a normal College life at her own school, and being a loving girlfriend to Paolo.However, Serena can't help but to notice that Paolo doesn't spend much time with her anymore compared to before. And even if they have free time to date, Paolo always feels tired and sleepy. Whenever she asks him what was wrong, he always tells her that Brianna always asks for his help at school.Serena feels sorry for her boyfriend and she always tells him that it's okay to meet up and have a date once or twice a week, so that he can spend his own free time catching up with his sleep.Serena continues to focus her attention on her own studies. She needs to study hard so that she can graduate with honors, make her father and sister proud. It has been her dream and goal to help manage their bu

Few weeks later.Serena finally got her Student Visa bound for Australia. They have accomplished all the needed documentations, and everything is all set and ready.The days went by quickly, and the day of Serena's departure finally came.Her father and her younger sister came with her to the airport. There were some bits of crying, giving each other words of encouragements and big bear hugs.After a few moments, Serena is now walking to inside the plane's aisle, looking for her seat.Everything went like a blur. She is now sitting at the window seat, and she staring at the blue sky and the clouds. Her thoughts went to Paolo. He is her first love and first heartbreak. She learned a lot of things, and the lesson that she learned is to love herself first and her family before anyone else.Serena took a deep breath, and she's really excited to start a fresh life in another country."I can do this." she said to herself, while feeling determined.=============================Paolo slowl
