Pagkarating sa location na binigay sa kanya ni Celine. She immediately headed inside at lumapit sa may front desk to ask the table that was reserved for them. It is their blind date today.One waiter assisted her. Sa kalagitnaan ng paglalakad patungo sa table nila, she recognized someone, it's them again.-Bakit ko ba sila palaging nakikita?- she hissed in irritation. She curses and hesitation comes in her mind. Ngunit ng makita niya ang pigura ni Kael, ay hindi na siya nagdalawang isip pa. Her ex Edward and his new girl both notice her. Pero hindi na niya ito pinansin pa. Dahil nagkita namn na sila kahapon.-Why bother to look at them, when in fact I can just ignore them.- she said in her mind. Ngunit biglang tumayo si Edward her ex, na nagpakunot sa nuo ng bago niya. And as far as she remembers her name is Chelsea.Lalapit na sana si Edward kay Ellie, when Chelsea hold his wrist na nagpabalik kay Edward sa huwisyo at napaupo nalang.She elegantly walks with her head up. She not
Gulat ang mukha na napatingin si Ellie kay Kael dahil sa hiningi nito sa kanya. At dahil ayaw niyang ipakita ang ngiti na kumakawala sa bibig niya, napakagat na lamang siya sa kanyang pang ibabang labi.Agad din siyang nagtipa sa selpon ni Kael ng kanyang phone number. “What do you mean by let’s make it official?” Ellie asks even though she already has a hint about it. Nagdiwang ang kaloob-looban niya dahil mukhang hindi papalya ang plano niya. She fixes her posture and faces Kael without any traces of happiness in her face. “Let’s start dating.” maikling saad nito habang nakatitig kay Ellie. “Date agad? Hindi mo muna ba ako liligawan??” she teasingly ask even though gusto na niyang sumigaw ng yes kay Kael. “I will.” Gusto ng tumili ni Ellie, but she hold her horses dahil narealized niya na she's just doing it to cover up her pregnancy. At para mailabas na si Kael ang ama which is totoo naman. But still her plan is to not stain her parents' names just because she got pregnant e
“How’s the mission son? Is everything cleared out? Wala bang naging palya?” yan agad ang bungad ng kanyang ama pagdating nila sa headquarters. “Yes dad, it's all cleared and here is the flash drive they used.” he said and handed it to him. “Good son, you never failed to amuse me.” while patting his back. Kael's face is just calm and composed. He doesn't show any emotion in front of his dad. But despite the emotionless face, it still stands off in front of everybody. He has his father's posture and a mix of his mom and dads face. Hindi maipagkakaila na isa siyang anak ng mafia boss. Even his dad, you can't tell that he is a Mafia boss. “We have a mission next week, don't forget that. And also you need to train more this sunday. So clear your schedule.” saad pa ng ana ni ito bago umupo sa swivel chair niya. Tumango na lamang si Kael at agad na nagpaalam sa ama niya. “How's your blind date? Is it going well?” biglang tanong ng ama kahit nakatalikod na sya dito. Napatigil siya sa pa
She squint her eyes to make sure she's not hallucinating. When Kael smiles at her, nagulat siya at nalunok ng buo ang pearl ng milk tea na iniinom niya. Napaubo siya kaya namn dali-daling lumapit sa kanya si Kael. “Hey, careful.” he said worriedly and pat her back a little. “I'm sorry, I thought I'm seeing things.” she said at napapunas nalang sa gilid ng labi niya. -What the fck is he doing here.- saad niya nalang sa sarili.“So you're thinking of me that much huh.” Kael teasingly said. Gulat na napatingin si Ellie sa saad ni Kael sa kanya. Kaya naman she immediately thinking something to say ng hindi siya matahimik nalang.“Wow! Marunong ka pala mang-asar?”Kael just smiles at her reaction. Kaya naman she got hypnotized but gladly she came back to her senses immediately.“Anyway, hindi ah akala ko kasi nasa work ka, that's what I've thought.” pagpapalusot niya. She stops when Kael reaches her chin.“You have some dirt here.” biglang saad ni Kael sa kanya, looking at her face.T

A week later, it is their graduation day. Her mom and ate were so busy with preparing for the after party. They even assigned an artist for Ellie’s makeup and hairstyle. And invited some of their friends and their relatives. After preparing, agad naman silang pumunta sa venue dahil magsisimula na rin ang ceremony after 20 mins. Nakarating naman agad sila ng hindi pa nagsisimula kaya umupo na si Ellie sa naka assign sa kanyang upuan. The usual graduation program happens, isa isang tinatawag ang bawat student para I-received ang kani-kanilang award. Nang pangalan na niya ang tinawag ay tumayo naman siya agad. "Khloe Eleanor V.

After what happened at the party para hina-hunt si Ellie sa mga nangyari. When she left him there, she stayed with Via and Bryce. Halos hindi na siya umalis sa tabi nila but when her mom called her because they're going home already. Sumunod si Ellie nun and bid them goodbye. She also smiled at him awkwardly. He just nod and smirk. Wth! Ano yun?! Did he just smirk at me?! That's what on her mind that time ngunit inalis nalang iyon sa isip ni Ellie, dahil baka mali lang ang pagka-describe niya sa naging reaksyon nito.She also sensed something in her self na parang there's something within her that she can't explain what it is. Though when she think about what happened to them with Kael. Parang may nabuo sa isip niya na maaaring nakapagpabago sa katawan niya. Its like her body is changing from its nature. Saka she can actually sense it, since she's a med student. How can she not diba? Pero sana mali lang ang iniisip niya, dahil hindi pa sya handa sa magiging bunga ng isang gabi ng pa
“But why did you give in, Ellie? Your not being yourself.” may pagkadismayadong saad ni Celine sa kanya“I was really influence by the alcohol that time. Hindi na naging maayos ang pag iisip ko.” sagot namn nito Kay Celine. “You know Ellie, that not because you are influence by an alcohol, eh hindi mo na alam ang ginagawa mo. You know that you are still aware of your surroundings! of what you are doing!” napataas na ang boses ni Celine, kaya naman napatungo nalang si Ellie.“For god's sake, Khloe Eleanor! You're a med student you know what will happen after you let someone fuck you!” napahikbi nalang si Ellie, dahil hindi na niya alam ang isasagot kay Celine. “You never let your ex touch you, but you let a stranger fuck you and worst got you pregnant?! Ano nalang ang sasabihin nila Tito?! God Khloe!” Halo-halo na ang emosyon na nararamdaman ni Celine. But worries is more written on her face. She just needed to scold her since sila palang din naman ang nakakaalam.“J-just please don
