He left to pursue his dream. She tried to stop him but ended up letting him go. The raw familiar feeling she felt when she heard his voice over the phone. That's when inflamed feelings started to rise again.

"Ate, trending kayo ni Kuya Ral sa Twitter!" si Dave.
Nandito na kami sa sasakyan, pabalik na ng Manila dahil tinawagan ako ni Tita Farah. Birthday pala bukas ni Sir Enrico kaya kailangan kong pumunta.
Pinakita sa akin ni Dave ang kanyang cellphone.
#1 Irene
#4 Ral
#5 Engage
Tumawa ako. Tumingin rin si Ral doon at tumawa.
"Love, sikat ka na!"
"Kabahan ka na, love! Baka mas sisikat pa ako kumapara sayo!"
Nagsitawanan kaming lahat. Pag dating namin sa Manila ay dumeretso kami sa aking condo. Sabi ni Mama at Tita Mel malaking gasto na kapag sa hotel pa rin kami manatili. Wala na akong ibang nagawa.
"Maliit nga..." sambit ni Mama nang makapasok sa aking condo.
I chuckled lightly. "Sabi ko naman sa inyo eh! Pumunta nalang tayo sa isang hotel!"
"Hindi! Okay lang! May dalawa namang kwarto! Ang iba sa salas nalang matulog!" ani Tita Mel at binuksan ang isang kwarto.
Hindi ko na napigilan ang aking tawa nang makita ang kanyang hilaw na ekspresyon.
"Tita, hindi po yan bedroom. Walk-in closet po yan..."
She slowly nodded. Ral shook his head.
"Okay lang 'to! Issa, doon na kayo ni Francis sa kwarto ni Irene matulog. Buntis ka pa naman. Kami na dito sa salas matulog. Let's just shop for blankets and pillows," ani Mama Inna.
Tumango ako. After settling our things, our parents went to the mall to shop. Samantalang kami ni Ral ay pumunta sa office ni Vincy Valdoria upang pumili ng maisosout bukas.
"Irene, dear! Oh my! I'm so happy to see you!"
I removed my aviators and beret before smiling warmly at Vincy. Nag beso kami.
"Hi! Do you have some ready-to-wear gowns? It's for tomorrow."
"Right. It's Tito Enrico's birthday that's why we are so packed."
I nodded, sad because there might be no available gowns anymore.
"But, of course, I already reserved gowns and suits for your family. Tita Farah told me two days ago that you will be attending the party with your whole family."
Nabuhayan ang aking loob. Tumingin si Vincy sa aking likuran kaya napatingin rin ako doon.
"Oh, Vincy this is Ral Castino. My fiancé..."
Ral smirked and offered a hand to Vincy.
"So I heard! Hello, Architect! I'm Vincy Valdoria," she said before accepting Ral's hand. "It's a pleasure of mine for you to wear one of my designs!"
