"Stella naman. hahaa!! ang cute mo naman pag naiinis." Von shouted happily as he followed me behind while still riding this bike.

"Cute yang mukha mo!!!" I angrily responded.

"Thanks. I  know!!" he smirked and kept on following me down the side walks.

Napa- facepalm na lang ako as I contiued to walk down the streets, noticing lesser and lesser people through the roads and trees illuminated by beautiful street lights appearing.

"This scenario is familiar."

Von breaking the silence from behind. Napatigil ako saaking paglalakad as I looked back through him.

"I dont know, but it seems fmiliar. Me following you as you walk down the sidewalks of a park." he continued.

I immediately look around and noticed that my feeet had broought the two  of us in a park. Natigilan ako as I started to stare and listen to him.

"Might be a dream? no. Might be Deja Vu." he smiled and sat on his bike while looking at the night skies, then looked at me.

May kung anong kirot ang naramdaman ko mula saaking dibdib. I felt a light of hope, but at the same time,  I felt anxious. I dont know if it was just a coincidence Von remembering the scenario of how we first met.

"But whatever this scenario is, its making me happy." he continued and made my annoyance dissapeared in a second.

Von's Point of View

"Kain na."

Malumanay kong sabi kay Stella habang inabot ko sakanyang kamay ang isang mallit na paper plate na naglalaman ng iilang churros at chocolate dip na nagawa kong bilhin sa labas ng park.

"Oh wow. ngayon lang ako makakain ng ganito. I never seen these things sa Xavierheld dati." Exclaimed Stella.

Napaupo ako sakanyang tabi dito sa isang wooden bench. Mula saaming kinauupuan ay tanaw na tanaw namin ang mga naggagandahang ilaw mula  sa mismong city center.

"Oh diba? mas maganda ang scenery dito habang kumakain. Hindi ko talaga feel kumain sa isang fancy restaurant. Bukod sa ang liit ng pagkain, ang mahal. Hindi ko talaga feel ang taste ng payatot na iyon."

"What do you mean?" tanong ni Stella habang nagsisimula nang kumain.

"Matthew set up the fancy dinner for us." I honestly exclaimed as I sighed na lubos na ikinabahala ni Stella.

"Wait what?!!"

I heard the deep sigh from her. Dissapointment was obviously in her face as she suddenly became silent by my side.

"C'mon, Stella. Even I kinda felt bad nang sabihin niya na gabi gabi ka nalang umiiyak dahil saakin. So I decided to take you here with me, in my sincerest decision." honestly stating.

An akward silence was heard between the two of us. But I kept on staring at her. Hindi na awkwardness ang namamayani sakanyang mukha, but rather, pure sadness.

"Say.." I said, while looking towards the city lights. "Is this person, very kind to you?" I continued

Stella then raised her chin up to see the city lights as well. She smiled, but you can still feel the sadness hiding in it.

"Oo. He was indeed very kind. Pasaway, mahilig sa babae at kaskasero." she described annoyingly that somehow indirectly pointed at me.

"Ahaha.. Ganoon ba? you must be very close to him to know those things."
