------------------Merliah’s Point of view.---------------- Lore, Arvin, Maurice, and I are gathered in the cafeteria. The stupid couple had reconciled. All is well, Dean and I are also stable, our last conversation was before I left his unit. I informed him that I was going to school but there was no reply and he hadn't even seen it.  Maybe he is busy… “Are you coming with Liah and Maurice? They will celebrate Christmas and the new year with us,” said Arvin carrying a tray of burgers and chocolate drinks. "I don't know. I'll let you know if mommy allowed me to travel alone." 

------------------Merliah’s Point of view.---------------- After we went to church with my parents, daddy left immediately for a business venture in another province with Arvin and his parents. It's alarming that their joint business seems to be getting stronger. Mommy also left because she was busy with the campaign. Accompanying her is Lore’s mommy who will also run in this upcoming election. Mommy hasn't hyped our image yet because we agreed to do it later when I finished my law course. She understood that I might not be able to focus on my study if there are eyes constantly looking at me because the media is intervening. “Will you come with Lore and me? We will eat outside," Maurice asked. 

------------------Merliah’s Point of view.---------------- What do I do to please him because he's effin' mad?! I was surprised by his question, too late when I realized that he was triggered when it comes to cheating because his ex-fiancée cheated on him for a rich man. "Look, it's situational. It doesn't mean I did or will do it," I explained because we might still quarrel over it. All he did was assure me but what did I reciprocate? I even gave him a situational question that I shouldn’t have done because we both have a terrible past. ‘Y

------------------Merliah’s Point of view.---------------- Ma’am Julia’s warning didn’t put me to sleep. I wondered what she would do. Due to too much thinking I was even ahead of my alarm clock. I was startled by the sound of my mess*nger, I opened Dean's chat. He sent a voicemail, I clicked on it and listened… *Wake up my sleepy head lady. Don’t skip breakfast. Don’t overthink and always remember that I love you.* I just smiled and didn't bother to overthink about Dean's childhood friend's warning. As soon as I entered gate 3 I found that some students had gathered. “What&r

----------------Maximillan’s Point of view.-------------------- After a stressful mess this morning, we continued with our respective jobs. Because if we are affected, we will be more guilty. We need to be firm with our decision. If Liah endured all these hardships, there was no reason for me to leave her. I would cling even more because we promised that nothing could separate us. She trusted me, so I should do the same.  We are no longer young to argue whether we should deny our relationship or not. We understand each other, and we both know that’s the only way to protect our relationship. I was just waiting for her to finish college. I wanted to see her until she
