"I'll be back" he said before going out of my house, napatingin naman ako sa lamesa, naghanda pa naman ako, I put all of the food in the refrigerator.

It's already seven pm, maaga pa, makakabalik din naman siguro siya. Umupo na lang muna ako sa may couch, I just use my phone to pass the time, but minutes turn to hours.

Kyle is not yet going home

I look at the clock in my living room, it's already ten pm, he'll miss our birthday celebration. I send him a message.

BABE

Where are you? You coming back?

After sending my message, I look at the door of my house, wala pa din siya. I just lay down on the couch and found myself sleeping, I woke up in the morning, I'm already in my bed.

When I look at the side, there's a tray full of food on my table, lumapit ako at may nakita akong note dun.

Babe,

          Sorry for being late yesterday, I go home around eleven pm. I'm sorry, we also have an meeting and we talked about the contract, and I found you sleeping on the couch, I didn't wake you up cause your sleeping peacefully, anyway, I prepare you breakfast. Enjoy it, maybe if you read this I'm not there now, I have scheduled today, I'll just message you if I'm going home, still happy birthday to us babe enjoy breakfast.

- Elly's Man

I smiled and eat the breakfast he prepare, after that, I go to my bathroom and take a shower first. Pagkatapos ay binaba ko na ang tray, I also clean it, and since my flight will be later I clean my house.

I won't be home later cause I have flight, but if Kyle will be go here, he will open my house, since he have a duplicate. Pagkatapos kong mag-linis ay nagpahinga lang ako ng ilang saglit.

I take a shower again and change to my flight attendant attire. I prepare all the things I will need, ng makalabas ako ng bahay ay naka-receive ako ng message kay Kyle

BABE

When I go to the airport I immediately go to the plane where I assign. I greeted all the passenger like I use too, and I properly do my job.

May stop over muna kami sa may China, and when me and my workmates decided to eat in a restaurant, we always saw a billboard with Kyle's face.

As expected sikat na talaga siya, hindi lang sa China, kaya pag nagpunta nga siya sa pilipinas, panigurado na dadami pa lalo ang fans niya.

As days and weeks passed, I always think about our situation, I already accepted Honey's apologies, kahit na wala naman talaga siyang kasalanan.

Minsan napapa-isip na lang din ako na wag ng mag scroll sa social media ko dahil puro mga interview lang ni Kyle ang makikita ko.

And I leave for a week, cause Kyle promise to treat me and were going out. Siguro ito na rin yung time para makapag-isip ako, pero habang hinihintay siya na dumating sa bahay ko ay may ibang dumating.

I'm watching on the television while waiting for him, when a news about Kyle play. It was Josh, he's interview by a reporter.

"Is Chen will having his own leading lady this time? Is the rumor about Chen, going in the Philippines true?" tanong ng reporter, huminto naman si Josh.
