"Thank you Ms. Rhodes, please come again."


Tipid na ngiti lang ang sinagot ko sa saleslady habang palabas ng GUESS, I look around to look for a shop I haven't been in this mall, but sad to say, napasukan ko na lahat.

Kasunod ko ang dalawang bodyguard na pinadala ni Dad, they're carrying my paperbags. Since I'm going back to the Philippines tomorrow, I shopped to the fullest. I deserved this after a very stressful weeks.

"Have you talk to Kingster?" Biglaang tanong ni Caeisha, nakatutok lang kasi ito sa cellphone niya kaya halos hindi ko na mapansing magkasama pala kami.

"Why would I?" Taas-noo akong naglalakad sa gitna ng hallway, we're heading outside. "Caeisha, does Chaucer know you're with me in NYC?" she just followed here and stay with me in the hotel, weirdo.


"He keeps looking for you? That's what I've heard from Cyrene." Nakadaan kami ng ilang restaurants na naging dahilan ng pagkalam ng aking tyan, I almost forgot I was hungry. "Why does Chaucer have to know where I'm at?"


I glanced at her, unbelievably. "Cause you're minor kid, yet?" Sabay kaming pumasok sa isang restaurant na wala gaanong tao, we sat near the windows with ambiance of the city.

"He puts tracking device somewhere to track me." She rolled her eyes, "He knows where I am."


I scan my eyes through the menu before giving my orders at the waiter, ganuon rin si Caeisha na nagtitipid ata dahil tanging veges lang ang kakainin.


"How's school?" unlike her brother, Chaucer, She's not really interested in schooling.


Caeisha shrugged, "Cool. I'm going to study in Hamilton University in my senior high."


"Really? In the Philippines?"


"Oo, marunong na ako magtagalog." I gigled with her accent, sounds cute.


"You studied in england to learn filipino? Really Caeish??" Hindi ako makapaniwala ngunit mahina lang syang tumawa.


"Bakit hindi? its my parent's decision to drag me there. Luckily, they want me to come back already, maybe because Chaucer's not there anymore." Nagkibit balikat lamang sya at muling tinuon ang atensyon sa cellphone.


Nang dumating na ang inorder na pagkain ay nag-iba kami ng mundo, I scrolled through my iPad and tried my best to ignore my messages in ig, seriously, Zayn's keep flooding me messages.


"Caeisha Rhodes?"


Sabay umangat ang tingin namin nang biglaang may nagsalita, nang maaninag ang pamilyar na mukha ay hindi ko mapigilang kilabutan.


Omygod, its been so long since I last saw her. She's giving me goosebumps!


"Oh hi Ms. Dilancy.. glad you found me." I am dumbfounded while Caeisha offered her to take a seat.

Bumaling ang tingin saakin ni Dilancy, she smiled a bit. "Hi, have we met before?" Her forehead crunch trying to remember where did we met.

Nagkibit-balikat ako at uminom ng tea, "Did you went to Yale in college? You probably saw me there." I smiled a bit. How can I forget someone who gave me entire insecurities.


"Oh?" Pinagmasdan ko sya, nothing changes. She still looked like a woman who can give every ladies a heartbreak. "Yeah I went there, maybe that's why you're familiar." Bumaling na sya kay Caeisha at nag-abot ng paperbag, "Here's your package."
