15 years have passed. Harry graduated college and is now working as a mechanic, while Julia is working as a Psychologist. Both of them still lived in their home town. Harry in Pampanga and Julia in the State of California. They look different now. Harry grew handsomely. His eyes were as captivating as a puppy, while his jaws were pronounced, and he was physically fit too. Meanwhile Julia grew celestially, her body is shaped like an hourglass, her lips are as red as a rose, and she developed a mellow way of talking which made men who talk to her fall on their knees.
They also behaved differently. From being energetic, Harry became more reserved and calm. While Julia was a crybaby and a cowardly girl she grew to be the complete opposite of those characteristics. She became more independent and a little brave. She also became a bit confident in herself. The most notable development in her is that she developed a mellow way of talking that anyone that she talks to, feels like Julia is lullabying them. Her stare has this hypnotic effect in it, which makes anyone who stares into her eyes for too long fall in love with her.
One morning Julia woke up earlier than the alarm she set. She brewed a cup of coffee and headed towards her office where she found her friend Bob waiting for her in her office. Julia opens the door.
"Goodmorning Bob, why are you here so early?" Julia greeted Bob with a positive intonation
"I have good news! Boss said that he'll grant you a 3 month vacation back to the Philippines since you're doing a great job in here" Bob replied
"T-That's great!" Julia said and is excited for her trip back to the Philippines
Meanwhile Harry is working for Plasma - a car company - as a mechanic. Luckily enough he's getting paid well and he is treated well in the company. In the middle of his work he remembered the embarrassing event that happened when he was still a kid. It was when Tricia got so mad that he was almost knocked out. His face blushed a bit but he quickly moved that thought away because it was affecting his performance.
A week has passed and Julia got back into the Philippines. It was an energy draining flight and she still has to find an apartment. It was a hot afternoon when Julia got back to her hometown. Everything was nostalgic to her; The road, the vacant lot, but one thing that has changed is that the house that they used to live in is now an apartment. Although it's not a 5 star hotel, the rooms still looked great. She booked in the Hotel and planned to stay there for the next 3 months.
Even though Julia is on vacation she still spent a week sweeping through emails and checking on clients to see if they are okay while reminding them that she's spending the next 3 months on vacation. She told every single one of her clients that in the meantime Bob will replace her as their psychologist and assures them that everything is still confidential. But of course that is only if the client approves.
After that week had passed Julia strolled throughout the town. She was hopeful that she could meet her old friends. Eventually she found herself in the park that they used to play a lot in. Although Julia is alone she wasn't sad, instead she was happy that she could visit the places that brought her nostalgic memories. She sat on the swing at the playground and stayed there for a couple of minutes until a group of people came into the playground. She was unaware that those people are : Abigail, Klaedeous, and Asmodeus. They were waiting for Harry to come. All of them looked different now. Abigail grew beautifully, and Asmodeus and Klaedeous looked fine.
Julia left the place and strolled into other places. Harry walks in the park while Julia is leaving. They looked at each other and stared for a while. Both of them were stunned and were infatuated by the good looks of one another. Harry walked forward.
"Hi" Out of nowhere Harry made the first move
"Hi" Julia out of nervousness replied immediately
"M-my name's Harry and your name is?" Harry introduced himself, he couldn't believe that this is happening
"My name is Julia" She replied
"D-do you live around here?" Harry asked
"N-no but I live in an apartment nearby" Julia unintentionally replied with a soft voice "D-do you want to exchange numbers?" She added
"Sure" Harry replied
They exchanged numbers and the whole entire time Julia was blushing. Julia immediately went home while Harry went towards the group. It was Asmodeus' birthday and they celebrated it in his home. They enjoyed every single second of Asmodeus' birthday. There was a lot of singing, eating and especially puking since they were drinking a ton of beer. Harry went home drunk. He was so drunk that he called Julia unintentionally. Julia was still awake at that time watching random videos on the internet. Her Cell Phone rings. She looked at her phone and it was Harry. Her heart skipped a beat and immediately answered the call.
"He-Hello?" Julia said and was flustered
"Hello, is this Julia?" Harry replied while stammering
"Yes" She replied and was immediately cut off by Harry
"You know, I liked you when I first met you." Harry said
It was too much for Julia and she immediately hang up.
