“MISS, two tickets,” Lenos said to the ticket seller in front of us. Lenos asked me to watch a movie with him. So we ended up here at the movie house. “Why are you going to buy two tickets?" I asked him. "You can just buy one, Lenos."“But we are two,” he whispered, glancing at me. I pouted. “But you know, you're the only one who can see me.” He chuckled which made the teller look at him. Thank heavens he was wearing an earplug on his ear, so everyone who could hear him would think he was just talking to someone on the phone. "We're two so I'm buying two."

"HEY," Caren greeted me when I went home that night. I found her in her room sitting on the carpet. She was in a lotus position while doing something on her laptop. Beside her was a platter of nachos. "You're eating a lot these days, aren't you?" She ignored my comment and just smiled at me. "So, how's your date with Sir Lenos?" "We went to a cinema house and watched a movie together," I answered. I sat beside her."Really?" She raised her eyebrows in curiosity. "Where else did you go?" She glanced at her watch. "I mean, you've been gone for hours!" "I met my father," I said in a small voice. She stopped what she's doing and stared at me.

"CRESIA'S favorite color is black," Lenos told my father when the latter noticed the black roses displayed in my hospital room. "She likes everything that is color black," Lenos continued with a smile. "Black flowers, black flowers, black dress…"I was also here at the hospital with them. I was standing at the one corner of the room while watching and listening to everything they were talking about. I looked at my father. One of the nurses informed Lenos that my father visits me here every day. Just yesterday, when Lenos and I went to the hospital, we saw him here together with his son—I mean, my brother. Well, until now, I still couldn't believe the fact that I have a brother. "She reminds me of Catherine, her mother," my father said, a smile on his face. "I remembered I once gave her a sun

"SIR… it's supposed to be negative 3," Caren said to Lenos as she pointed out the equation he wrote on the whiteboard.Lenos looked at the board and slightly scratched his head when he realized he was wrong. "Oh, yes,” he mumbled. “I’m sorry." Lenos erased the wrong equation and replaced it with the right one.“Sir, why did you seem so distracted today?” one of the students asked him. “Do you have a lovelife already?""You know what, why don't you go out first?" Caren whispered to me."What? What did I do?" I asked innocently."You're distracting Sir Lenos. Look, he couldn't concentrate because you're here. He always looks at you ev

"CAN we go to the hospital next?" I asked Lenos as we walked out of the church. "Anywhere you want to, baby." His eyes were still fluffy from crying.I stared at him. Damn. I love him so much. And I hate myself for making him cry. For the past few days, all he did was show me how much he loves me. He brought me to places that we used to go before. The past days were pure bliss. I stopped when I noticed a piece of folded paper attached to the windshield of his car. Lenos took it with a creased forehead. "It was a letter from Caren…" He said in a small voice.  Dear Cresia, I figured that by the time you're reading this l
