I was standing infront of a 305-foot statue on Liberty Island in Upper New York Bay, off the coast of New York City. They said that, It was the universal symbol of freedom, friendship and mutual desires for liberty between France and United States.
The statue is a personification of a woman who's holding a torch in her raised right hand and clutches a tablet on her left.
"You're here!" I was surprised when I twisted around and saw Titus there. He was standing against the grill while waving his hand in the mid-air.
He began taking step closer with a dulcet smile plastered on his lips. "You're alone—"
"Sorry, I'm late." Even if I don't look around, I know it was Mr. Moreno. The smile on Titus face began to vanish; as I quite expected.
"How long have you been waiting for me?" I frozed when Fauro's fingers run across the skin of my ear, setting aside those messy hair threads. "I have to finish a song cover before goin' to bed."
"Estás aquí," Fauro said and Titus eyes gone smaller.
I don't understand a thing! What kind of langguage is that? All I can do is to toggle gaze between the electricity running on their stares.
"Ella es mi chica, retrocede amigo." His voice was firm. I couldn't help but shudder when Titus' voice become resounding.
Fauro's face stretched into a wide grin. "Ella nunca fue tuya y mientras yo esté con ella, nunca lo será."
I didn't understand anything of what Fauro said but based on the reaction on Titus' face it might have been offensive. "Usted!" Titus was about to grab Fauro's collar but I stopped him immediately.
"Whatever quarrel is going between the two of you, to let it go first, I beg. I guess, we are here to enjoy this place and not for catfights, right?" Reluctantly the two nodded.

You never told me you travel the world with that guy.
Ace
I asked him na samahan ako.
Titus Solis
Bakit?
Ace
Kasi ayokong mag-isa.
Titus Solis
Bakit?
Ace
Anong bakit?
Titus Solis
Bakit siya pa kung nandito naman ako?
Nandito lang ako, Ace. Hinihintay ka. You can ask me to go with you.
Don't ask him.
Ace
Ano bang nagawa niya sa 'yo at para bang galit na galit ka sa kanya?
Titus Solis
Wala naman.
Ace
Wala naman pala, eh.
Titus Solis
Wala naman bukod sa nagseselos na pala ako.
Ace
Wtf?
