THE day after the intimate night and Elroy's surprise at her, things between them started to change.
Elroy became clingy to her. More on, little by little her old Elroy is coming back. And after the night that something happens to them, she is giving some more meaning to the way he looks at her.
They are like teenagers who are in the courting stage and afraid that the oldies will know about their relationship. Even the nuns and the orphanage staff observe the changes in their relationships.
Infinity also doesn't know what happened, but since that night, Ivan has kept his distance from her. She asked Elroy ab
The world could die, and everything may lie.Still, you shouldn’t cry.‘Cause time may passed, but longer than it’ll lastI’ll be by your side. Forever by your side.- 214, Rivermaya***THEY left the orphanage the day after they decided to return to Manila, as planned. They left after dawn to arrive in Manila after sunset. It's a long journey home. Saying goodbye to the kids was hard. The kids grew fond of him, some were even crying because they
***INFINITY woke up with strong arms around her. She wasn't too surprised by this, she was used to it. She closed her eyes when she felt him move behind me. He hugged her tighter, and she also felt him kiss her nape. That made her shiver to her spine. And then he also kissed the back of her head. He was not satisfied yet, and he inhaled her scent. She tried to remember if she shampooed her hair thoroughly the day before. She looked at him, and she was welcomed by his tantalizing, half-closed eyes. "G-Good morning." He said in his husky morning voice while hugging her. "Good morning."
And these are the moments I thank God that I'm aliveAnd these are the moments I'll remember all my lifeI found all I'd waited for, and I could not ask for more- I Could Not Ask for More, Edwin McCain***ELROY took her to the office. They also decided to talk that evening about the remaining days they had and the things they would do in Manila. When she arrived at her office, only a few coworkers were there. She opened her computer and checked the folders on her table. It was the first draft print of her novel that was supposed to be published. She held a pen and started reading the whole draft and corrected some minor errors. The majority of the errors are just technical, wrong spacing, and such. “Infinity?” She looked up when someone called her name. It was Louise. Infinity smiled at her, while she was shocked to see her in the office. "You said you would be gone for a month?" Louise said as she approached her cubicle. "Elroy has something important to do here in Manila, so
***INFINITY happily tells her friends about what they did in the province. How she made Elroy plow the field, pick mangoes, and even try to catch fish.The two laughed. "What's your trip in life, Infinity? Why did you think of doing that to Sir Paolo?" Robin asked her with a laugh. "Do you really want Sir Paolo to bump his head again so that everything will go back to normal? I hope you just hit his head on the wall." Pipay said while still wiping the corners of her eyes. "N-No way! I just want to be able to do what we used to do again before we finally break up." Infinity
***ELROY laid her down on the bed. He deepened the kiss and roamed his hands all over her body. Living in an apartment that was separated by just plywood, she has so much experience hearing the sound of her neighbors doing the nasty. And she doesn't want to do the same. She wanted to save face with her neighbors. "E-Elroy, the neighbors! Maybe…they might hear us!” She said as Elroy kissed her. From her lips down to her neck. Infinity could feel the heat of his breath on her skin. And it also gives a strange sensation to her body. Elroy immediately moved away from her. Thinking that he stopped because of what she said made her groan internally.

It has been a week since they went back to Manila and everything's bliss!Sometimes they are at her apartment or his condo unit.His unit was located at the heart of the metro, a whole floor. It's a penthouse, so you can see Manila. The interior of his condo is very minimalist with black and white as its color. It also has 360 widows. That's why it
***"YOU shouldn't have said that,” Infinity said to her husband as they were eating their lunch after the fiasco.Elroy frowned at her, he couldn't understand why she didn't want to let people know she was his wife."People around here thought that you are a cafeteria lady who takes orders from department by department. And you don't want them to know that I am your husband? They are completely disrespecting you…me.”He is not mad at his wife. He is just a little bit irritated with some of the people around him."You can't blame them, Elroy. Even before, only a few people knew about our marriage.""Why?"She just shrugged her shoulders. She did not want to tell him that it was like a silent agreement between her and her in-

She commented on the new findings they saw at their university. "Y-Yeah? The last time I remember that I came here this building did not exist yet.” Eloy is referring to the building in the study area where he found his notebook. "That is where I found your no
