"You really love chocolate," napalingon ako sa nagsalita at si Ian tsaka siya umupo sa harapan ko.

"They are my happiness," I said as I smiled before I scoop my parfait.

"Did something happen?" He asks me as he looks at me worried. I don't know why does he know if did something happens to me even though he was not with me.

"It's nothing," I said as I smiled to hide it,

"Don't lie, Avy. There's evidence in your eyes even if you soak your face with cold water. It's visible," He said.

"I just remember something bad," I said.

"I know it's not bad but more than bad, right?" He said as he pats my head just like when we were a kid to comfort me as he gave me chocolate. 

"I remembered something yesterday but I am okay. Ash was there for me," I said. He was smiling but then he looks so serious at agad din na ngumiti.

"That's good," He said tsaka ininom ang black coffee niya since he really doesn't like sweets but he can eat if I gave him.

"By the way, how did you know that I am here?" I ask him since maaga ako.

"Well, knowing you. I predicted that you will come here since this shop is famous for its sweets and I was right to check it since I am a little bit early." He said as he eats cookies since it's not that sweet.

"Oh, Is that so? hehe," I said as I eat my cake while Ian just watching me eating just like before.

" It's delicious!" I said while savoring the taste of the cake.

"Pfftt. haha," Ian laughs at me kaya agad ko siyang sinubuan nung cake. It's my revenge for laughing at me kaya napahinto siya ng pagtawa as he glared at me. I just smile widely as I looked at him na ngumunguya.


"That's too sweet. How can you eat that?" He said after he drinks his coffee.

"Well, the taste is just right, and you just don't like sweets," I said to him as I eat another bite.

"That habit of yours never change--" nagtaka naman ako nung bigla siyang napahinto sa kaniyang sasabihin and his expression looks serious as he was in a deep thoughts.

"Hey, are you okay, Ian?" I said as I waved in front of him, tumingin naman siya sa akin.

"I'm okay, let's go?" He said since tapos ko ng kinain ang mga inorder ko.

"Sure," I said tsaka tumayo at nung magbabayad na ako ay pinigilan niya ako as he paid for my bill too with his bill.

"Thank you," I said,

"No problem since this is why I am a knight to give you what you need," He said, as I remember when he promised us to have a good life.


~~Flashback~~ 10 years ago...

"I promise that Avy and Liz will be having a good life when I grow up so that we will not going to ask for help or begging. I will build a house that not so big as long as we are together," Younger Ian said to Avy and Liz.

"Of course, you can Ian," Liz told Ian as she pats his head.

"Then, let me help you," Younger Avy said to Ian.

"No, you should grow up healthier and a man should not let a woman work," He said to the little Avy as Liz was smiling at them.

"But you are only a kid, and I can do it too, right Liz?" Little Avy said to Ian as she also asks Liz.
