Today is Jayde's first day as a law student. I can feel her excitement while I was talking with her over the phone earlier.

"Good luck, future attorney." I teased.

"Thanks, my beautiful actress." She laughed.

Jayde pursued her dream of becoming a lawyer someday, while I'm pursuing my dreams in acting. I'm third year college this year, but I stopped my studies because I need to focus in my acting career. Jayde disagreed at my decision first, even my parents, but I explained to them why.

I got a big role, and I need to focus on it. I'm going to be a part of a movie again. And it's international. But, I promised to them that I'll continue my study next year. I just had to stopped this year.

I'm in a coffee shop with Mel. I decided to treat her today because I cancelled our dinner together last time.

"We're going to Boston, next week. Are you excited?" Tanong ni Mel.

I smiled. "Of course. It's really my dream."

Mabuti at tapos na ang part ko sa series nina Iver at Cheska kaya malaya na akong umalis. Mel is going with me because she's still my manager.

"Can't believe you're going to Boston." She laughs.

"I can't believe it either."

When I received the news last two weeks, I couldn't believe it. Jayde was so happy about it, we even celebrated that night.

"How's your girlfriend?" Mel suddenly asked.

I almost choked on my own saliva.

"W-what?" I stammered.

"Come on...I know." She smirked. "It was too obvious. You don't have to hide it from me, really. I'm your ally."

"She's fine. It's her first day in law school today." I replied.

"Oh, a future lawyer. Corporate or criminal?" She asks.

"Criminal," I replied shortly.

I couldn't believe it. Mel knew about what's going on with me and Jayde. And she's not opposed to it, my previous manager couldn't relate.

"I'm sorry I had to hide it. It's just...my previous manager...pinagbawalan niya akong makipag relasyon noon. Gusto niyang 'yong ka love team ko ang maging boyfriend ko. Muntik na kaming mahuli ni Jayde noon, pero inayos agad ni Jayde."

"I saw and read the article about that. KirReeve was famous these past few months. I thought you're dating Kirk, because you guys announced it in front of your fans."

"It was our management and manager's command. I couldn't do anything about it, and Kirk loved the idea because he likes me."

Our order arrived. Natigil kami saglit sa pag-uusapan, habang tinitingnan ang waiter na isa-isang nilapag ang order namin.

"It must be hard for Jayde." She chanted. "I can't believe she stayed with you."

I smiled and sip on my coffee before replying.

"I caused her too much pain during that time. But, she tried her best not to break. Tiniis niya lahat. Hindi niya ako inaway no'ng 'di ako nakapunta sa dinner namin together kasi may trabaho. She never got mad when I had to cancel our date during the last minute because I had to go with Kirk. Alam kong masakit sa kanya, pero tiniis niya 'yon lahat. Inintindi niya ako."

Mel smiled.

"Mahal na mahal ka talaga 'no? It's rare to find that kind of love. Unconditional. Kayang magtiis, at kayang umintindi kahit na nasasaktan."
