My Dearest Asymptote (Sandro Marcos)

PART 44 - Someone's Viral

Mr. and Mrs. Mendoza, and Elle's siblings stayed at Cheska's condo, but since Lara still had classes and both of the parents are still on duty, they go back to Mindanao after two days.

Lucas will be having his internship at St. Lukes Medical Center, so he stayed and currently looking for a place to stay for the whole duration of his internship. Belinda on the other hand, took a leave to be with Elle in Manila for a week.

"Bes, naiintindihan na kita kung bakit bihira ka lang makatawag sa akin. Ang busy mo nga talaga ano?" Bellinda started a conversation while they are having a coffee in the kitchen.

"Yeah. Kaya minsan kahit gusto ko na magbreakdown, wala akong time hehe. Just a few hour at night and grind na ulit kinabukasan." Elle said, pouring a bit of sugar to her cup of coffee.

"Sige lang, para din naman sa tita mo yan."

"Oo naman, kung pagod ako mas napapagod yan si tita. At ngayong buntis siya, hindi talaga dapat binibigyan sakit ng ulo. Mahirap na."

"Kaya nga. Labas tayo bes? Baka naman." Belinda giggled.

"Call! Oo ba. E-totour kita dito sa Manila."

And as planned, she roam Belinda around Manila in the afternoon and let her enjoyed her stay.

On the other hand, while Atty. Liza is at her office, one of her staff show her some photos and videos spreading on social media.

"Ma'am, diba si Miss Mendoza po ito?" The staff said showing her the phone, and then scroll down the feed and confirm it.

"Oo nga, this is her. Why is Elle all over the internet?"

"Nakita lang po namin ma'am. Mukhang may nakapagpost po kasi ng mga photos dun sa birthday niya last time. Nandun din po kasi si Sir Sandro."

"Really? Kailan lang ito?"

"Kaninang morning po. Pinagkakaguluhan na nga po eh, lalo na sa tiktok."

Right before Atty. Liza continue the conversation with her staff, her phone rings and it shows Sandro's name. She then pick it up.

"Hello mom? Have you seen the viral photos about Elle daw?"

"Yeah, ngayon lang. Pinakita ni James sa akin. Napagpiyestahan na tuloy ng mga so-called fans mo."

"It can't be controlled naman kasi na may makapagpost ng photos namin ni Elle but..."

"As long as rumored pa sa kanila, you don't have to give statement about this. Hayaan mo muna. And if ever you'll talk with Elle about it, tell her to just don't give comments. Lilipas din yan."

"Okay mom. Thanks, love you. Bye!" Sandro ended the call.

Elle just got home and had a good time with Belinda watching movie. While Belinda is scrolling through her FYP on tiktok, she saw some of Elle's photos same as what Atty. Liza saw earlier.

"Omg bessss!" Belinda screamed.

"Oh bakit? Nabulunan ka? Tubig?"

"No, no, no! It's you! You're viral over the internet, lalo na sa tiktok. Nakuuuu!"

"What? Why? Bakit naman ako nandiyan sa tiktok?"

"Most of the photos were from your birthday. Maybe may nakapag post at nakita ng fans ni Sandro na magkasama kayo sa picture."

"Talaga? Hala bes, masabit na ba ako sa windmill?" There's worries in her tone.

"Gaga, hindi no! Ay teka lang, tumatawag si Sandro."

When Belinda picked up the call...

"Hello Belle? Are you with Elle right now?" Sandro asked from the other line.

"Hi Sandro, oo magkasama kami. Bakit?"

"Can you give her the phone? Kausapin ko lang."

"Okay." She handed Elle the phone. "Bes oh, boyfriend mo kausapin ka daw..."

Elle then get the phone from her. "Hello Sands?"

"Why can't I contact you? Asa'n ba phone mo?"

"Ay sorry, love. Lowbat kasi, nagcharge pa po. Bakit?"

"Have you seen it? The photos..."

"Yeah, ngayon nga lang din. Pinag-uusapan namin ni Belinda. Love? Paano na yan? Masasabit na ba ako sa windmill?" She's worried again in her tone.

"Hahahahaha cute! Ofcourse not. I called to tell you na just please ignore. Okay?"

"Sigurado ka? Di ako masabit sa windmill?"

Sandro giggled. "Ang kulit! Hindi nga po. Kahit na ipakilala pa kita sa kanilang lahat ngayon. Ano? G?"

"Hoy no! Okay na ako sa lowkey lang muna."

"See. But yeah, just don't mind that okay? Don't worry, it will be fine. Lilipas din yan."

"Okay love. Love you!"

"Love you! Ingat ka! Enjoy your time with Belle."

When Sandro hang up, Elle handed the phone back to Belinda.

"Haysss! I still can't believe na bestfriend ko yung girlfriend ng isang Sandro Marcos. Prayer reveal naman diyan bes hahahaha." Bellinda giggled.

"Nah. Ipagpray mo lang kay Lord na inis na inis ka na sa isang lalake dahil ang kulit. Tingnan mo, diba after how many months, mag coconfess yung kinaiinisan mo." Elle giggled.

"Talaga? Totoo nga talaga ang the more you hate, the more you love. Kilig!!!!!! Parang kami lang din ng lalab ko. Miss ko na nga yun ehh. Hayss!"

"So ano? Uwi ka na ng Mindanao? Hahahaha."

"In three days pa. I'll enjoy my one week leave muna."

"Yan naman pala ehhh. So let's resume and enjoy our bestie time."

They were both laughing and enjoying the moment together and talk about random things. Elle just can't contain the happiness of being so blessed, surrounded by her "people" around.
