"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?" He asked, but then I found my self thinking. But do I know the answer? I don't know. I don't wanna know.
"I don't know."
It's been a very busy day because when the previous competition that I was in finished, I received many phone calls from a theater productions."Katie, let's go, you can finally go home now." My manager tell me with a sweet smile."Thanks, thank you for always be at my side Ma'am Ella." I said then hugged her."Anything for you sweetest Katie, love you as always, and your Mom told me to take care of you here in the Philippines." She said then I lay down in the sofa. I'm tired."You want to sleep or eat dinner first?" She asked while scrolling her phone."I'll sleep first Ma'am." I said then go to my bedroom, most tiring day ever. Aarrrghhh!"Hi Nanang." I get out of my bedroom and look for my Yaya, I'm hungry."Nanang." I repeated but it seems like there is no one hearing me, where is she? I go to the nearest fast food chain to order a food, when I was about to push the door, I bumped into someone."Oh! I am so sorry Sir, sorry
"Have you seen my best friend?" I asked Gabrielle because Enrique says that he's going to our rehearsal."Who is your best friend?" She asked."Enrique, Enrique Salazar." I replied."Oh he's at the lobby, I think he's waiting for you, so go, enjoy." I waved my hand and immediately goes into the lobby."Hi Quen." He ran at me when he saw me."Stop that!" I exclaimed, and laugh, if someone we don't know will look at us maybe she or he can tell others that we're couple."Okay... Sorry..." He said."Yeah... Oum Quen, I have crush." I said then smiled widely."Yiee, who is this man?" Quen asked."Secret... But he's here... He's in the production team." I said then hides my face, I know that I was blushing so hard."Is it Renz?" He asked."Of course not, he's cute but not my type." When our conversation ends I came back in the stage."Oh! I guess I will have a hard time in finding who's that man." He texte
"Can you come with me Gabby?" I asked my friend at the phone."Yeah sure, where are we going?" She asked."To a pet shop, I want to buy a toy poodle." I answered and she happily smiled."Okaaayy, let's gooo!" She shouted and turn off the call, I'm going to her condominium unit now."What color do you want?" Gabrielle ask when she saw me at her door. I didn't even knock."I want color brown or gold, then I'll name him Kiko." I said then we get down again, we commuted because we both don't want to drive our cars."Make sure your Yaya knows how to feed the dogs right." She said as we walk in the shop."Yeah, I'll instruct her later.... OMG! I want this cutie!" A black-brown puppy eyes and cute hair."Kate... I want him too." Gabrielle said."No! I'm the first one who choose. He's mine." I waved my hands at the cage and I'm happy that he's slowly touching it.When I give my money to the counter, they handed me the poodle, he se
"Princess Alleana, we're promoting the play on TV stations." Gabrielle messaged me and then I immediately get up into the bed. I didn't know that I have a schedule."Okay Aleiahe." I replied and find Kiko but I couldn't find him, and when I know that it was already 6 in the morning, I already take a bath, I don't want to become late."Baby Kiko." I call him because I'm leaving the house, Nanang is already here."Arf! Arf!" He barked before I kiss him and leave the house, I'm going to the biggest TV network, Gabrielle is already there."Ma'am, where are you going?" The security guard ask when I was about to put my feet on the floor."I'm with Gabrielle, we're the actresses of Aleiahe and Alleana Musical and we are going to promote the show." I answered and he let me in."Katie !!!" He greeted me happily and hugged me while running."Gabby! You're so clingy!" I screamed before we entered the dressing room, she was so happy so she put wh

He said sweetly and then he turn on the chandelier."It's so nice Katie, who design this condo?" He asked then sat at the sofa, feeling at home huh?"Uhm... I don't know... Mommy bought this for me." I answered and he saw the picture of my parents beside the TV."Is this your Mom and Dad?" He asked while holding it."Yeah, the another one is me and my elder brother." I answered."For how many years do you live in this unit?" He asked and he came near me."3 months haha." I answered while laughing, for almost 20 years this condo is vacant."Too short." He said."Yeah, I grew up in Canada so I don't know a lot of culture here in the Philippines." I said then get my leather bag inside my room."Arf! Arf!" Little Kiko barked when he saw me

I happily said while getting up into my bed and hug them one by one, kuya is here too."Dad...""Kuyaaa." I shouted because he spin me again on the air."Larry... Stop it." Daddy said so Kuya Larry put me into bed."Have you eat breakfast? Come, I will cook for you." I proudly said but Kuya just laugh."You know how to cook?" He asked while still laughing."Of course Kuya! I know how to cook! I'm not like you duuhh!" I ran into the kitchen but there's already a food on the table."Let's have our breakfast my babies." Mommy said and then we sat on the table, kuya lead the prayer."Kuya and me are going to the freedom park later." I said then Mommy looks curious."Where is the freedom park Katie?" Mommy asked."Quezon City, beside the mall, the one who have bus station." I said and then Mom know where is
"Ms. Katie, can we ask you something?" A press come near me with a lots of camera, I just smiled before they ask questions."Yeah, sure." I replied."Ms. Katie, what can you say about the news last night?" They asked, I don't have any idea of the news last night cause I slept early."I watched many news last night, which of it?" I asked them."That you and Mr. Nicko Balbuena are already dating, is it true?" I don't know what I'm going to say first, I'm nervous.When I was about to open my mouth my phone vibrated and it was a text message from my manager.'Just admit it.' Saying on the text."Yes, we're already dating." I said out of nervousness."Aw, since when Ms. Katie?" They asked again."Since we started the rehearsal of the play." I answered."Thank you for entertaining our questions Ma'am, we hope that your play will earn a lot." They said before leaving, I madly ran in our dressing room. We have rehearsals,

They said."Enrique, you're so handsome now compared before." Mommy playfully said and laugh."Of course Tita, I'm getting handsome and handsome every year." Enrique proudly said."Oum, Mom, Dad, Kuya." I call then one by one."Yes?" They responded."This is Enrique, my boyfriend." I said then all of them was shocked."For real?" Mommy asked."What about the news, about you dating with Nicko Balbuena?" Mommy added."The rumors are not true, the true is Enrique and I have a relationship for over 3 months." I said, I was so nervous on this idea of introducing Enrique as my fake boy friend."Is this serious?" Daddy asked."Yeah Katie, I was wondering if this is serious, I know you're good at pranking us." Mommy said.
