When I felt someone hugged me from behind, I slowly opened my eyes.

Sinilip ko ang katabi ko.

It's Yuan.

Akala ko panaginip lang ang lahat. But it's real, he's really here... with me.

Napapikit akong muli at bumuntong-hininga. The moment we shared last night replayed in my mind. 

I remember everything from the elevator to what we did here.

Maingat akong kumalas sa kaniyang yakap at tinignan siyang payapang natutulog.

Seeing him here with me felt like the longing was over.

Mahal parin niya ako tulad ng pagmamahal ko para sa kaniya.

I sat up and glanced at him one more time.

Marahan kong hinalikan ang kaniyang labi 'tska tuluyang bumangon. 

I chuckled to myself as I realized we both didn't have clothes on. I took a quick shower and changed into something comfortable.

Kumuha ako ng isang piraso mula sa notepad sa desk at nag-iwan ng note para kay Yuan.

I don't have his number so might as well write something down.

I told him I'll be getting breakfast and that I'll be back in a while. Idinikit ko ang note sa TV kung saan makikita niya agad.

Nagtungo ako sa cafe ng hotel. I ordered something to go so that we'd have breakfast in my room.

Pwede naman akong magpa-room service nalang kaso baka magising siya. 

Isa pa, gusto ko rin makapagisip-isip. I feel like I have to process everything that's happened.

Magkakabalikan na ba kami agad? I mean, we talked but it's not enough. 

Also, anong sasabihin ko kay Jasper at kanila Mommy?

How will I explain everything? Hindi pwedeng magpadalos-dalos kami.

Nang makakuha ako ng breakfast namin ay masaya akong bumalik sa kwarto.

Napalinga-linga ako nang mapansing wala na si Yuan sa hotel room ko. That's when I noticed there were two pieces of paper on the TV.

Ang una, yung note ko. Ang ikalawa, galing kay Yuan.

Meet me in my room. It's right in front of yours.

Napangiti ako doon at iniwan na ang kwarto ko. I was about to knock when I noticed Yuan's door is slightly opened.

I was about to enter when I hear someone yelling.

Maingat kong itinulak ang pinto at humakbang papasok. Hinawakan ko ang pinto para hindi sumara at gumawa ng kahit anong tunog.

"Ken, talk to me!"

Kaboses ni Maggie. What is she doing here?

"What do you want, Maggie?" Yuan asked.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makumpira iyon. I feel like I'm eavesdropping a serious conversation. 

Pero kahit na ganun, hindi ko magawang umalis sa kinatatayuan ko. I want to know what their fight is all about.

Hindi kaya...
