Chapter 2

"Why did you to it anak?"
Mom ask me. I'm here in our mansion. I told them everything.

"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not a bad person, I want them to be happy they deserve each other" I said while still crying.

"How about you then?, You told us you love Akiro?" Dad interrupted.

"I do love him, love him enough to give him his happiness dad"
I smiled. They face softened and hug me.

"I'm hurting..but it feels good...I did something that makes him happy for once..." I said to them. Mom was about to cry and dad was just hugging me.

"Oh anak...hush now...you did great, We are proud of you" Dad said while rubbing my hair using his hands. Dad was my first comfort anyways. The two of them was my first lover. I love them so much.

"What's you plan now anak?, But before you answered I wanted you to know that whatever your decision is
we are still supporting you" mom said and hold my hand.

"I want to study business dad, I want to go to New York with Kuya, bad when I came back I surely promise you that I can manage our business now..." I said to them. Last time I refused to take the position of the CEO in our company 'cause I choose to Marry Akiro but now is different. I'm new me now. I should start opening my self to other doings.

They smiled and agreed in my decision like they always does. When I turn to the wrong direction or wrong decision in life they are the one who took me back where I started and stared again. Don't give up on your dreams, dad said. Falling is not the reason to stop. It's okay to fail. Don't let fail stop you, let your fail be a lesson that I will always going to look out every step of my journey I take.

"What did you just said!?"
Sierra ask me. I told them everything. We are on facetime.

"Oh my god! Piatrice!"
Sari exaggeratetly said. Hands in her mouth. Looking at me unbelievably.

"Are you our friend? Are you an alien that took her soul?" Sierra ask and I laughed.

"It's true"
I just said.

"Oh my god!, Did you dump into a door or what? Because letting go of Akiro is the last thing you would never do" Sari said.

"Well, I did."

"Are you okay?"
Sierra Ask.

"My brain said yes but my heart says no" I said and sighed.

"Hay nako! Tigilan mo na si Akiro, marami ka pang makikilala, idamay mo na lang din ako sa paghahanap ng chupapi pagpunta mo sa New York"
Sari said. I laughed.

"For business Ang ipupunta ko 'don, study. Tama na ang isang katangahan, Focus muna ako sa future ko" I said. Nagpalakpakan naman ang mga bruha.

"Grabe Ikaw na talaga yan!?, Parang kausap ko si Isabella ng 600 years in the past" Sierra said.

Nagkwentohan lang kami Hanggang sa antokin na kami at nakatulog naman agad ako ng maaga.

When I woke up in the morning. I go to my café. I'm the owner of this dahil nalaman ko nga na mahilig sa mga cake at coffee si Akiro nagtuto akong magbake at nagpatayo. Good thing naging successful naman ang business ko. I laughed when that memory came back in to me. Realize how pathetic I'am and desperate just for his attention.

"Goodmorning ma'am!"
Mukang nagulat pa si Naya ng makita ako. Sya ang manager dito. Kasi lagi akong wala.

"Goodmorning how's everything here?" I ask her.

"Ma'am maayos na maayos po ang lagay ng cafe may mga regular costumer na nga po tayo na laging binabalikbalikan ang blueberry cheesecake nyo eh" Napangiti naman ako. I saw how hard working she is.

"Naya...I want you to run this café while I'm gone" I said and sip the coffee she made. It was so good.

"P-po?, Aalis po kayo ma'am?"
Tanong nya. Tumango naman ako.

"Yes...I know naman na you heard what happened about me and Akiro and I'm going to New York to study business and when I come back here, I'm running our business that's why I'm putting your name under this café, this is yours now" I smiled at her. Naya has been working for me since 3 years. She's good at her work and very responsible.

"M-ma'am?, Hindi ko po yata kayang magpatakbo nitong negosyo tad ng ginagawa nyo baka-"

"You're great Naya, I know you can bake, and every coffee you made is my favorite. It was good"

"Nako ma'am hindi ko magagaya ang Blueberry Cheesecake nyo, kayo lang nagawa 'non ng masarap eh" sabi nya kaya napatawa ako.

"Just practice Naya..."
She thank me and I thank her for everything.

"Ma'am...salamat po sa lahat ah..kung hindi nyo ako nakita ng araw na 'yun baka kung ano ng nangyari samin ni baby.." sabi nya at hinawakan ang tyan na na medyo malaki na.

"It was my pleasure to help, I can't leave you there on the road with a baby in your womb..I gave you this café to earn for your future and for your baby..." I said. Naya is special to me. She's like my sister.

"Thank you..."
Nakangiti nyang sabi.

"Ano ba yan?, Hindi naman ako mawawala ng habang buhay.."
I said while laughing.

"Ma'am naman eh, mamiss ka namin ni baby"

I leave the café and said to Naya to just sign the contract and pass it to attorney. I soon go to the park to have some fresh air.

I sat on the Bench and look at the kids happily running. How I wish I can be like them. Happy, young wild and free. No problems, No hurting, just happy.

My tears are flowing again. Remembering our good old time. Akiro is my childhood friend. He's been serious and always cold when it comes to me but to others no. He only hate me. I'm the one who only consider myself as his friend but he actually hate my guts.

"Akiro look!, I found a sea shell!"
I run towards Akiro. Giggling while holding the sea shell I found on the sea shore.

"That's not a sea shell it's just a stone, dummy" he said and turn his way.

"But this is a beautiful stone!, Look it has fire inside it!" I'm so amazed by this stone 'cause it's like fire.

"Whatever.."
He just said and continue walking away from me. He's always like that.

"I hope it was as easy to forget you Akiro...how can I start?...where should I start..maybe I should start also changing myself..."
