Third Person's POV
After hanging up the phone, Axel and Ara rushed to the car to go where Thomas be at that time
"Were should we go?" Axel asked out of curiosity.
"To where he possibly be at this time" Ara answered. Axel then drove her to their house. When they reached the house, they immediately entered the house and welcomed by a maid
"Good evening po, Sir Axel, Mam Ara" bati sa kanila nung maid.
"Ate, I heard andito si Thomas. Nasan siya? Tulog na ba?" Tanong ni Axel. Knowing na it's already 2am in the morning, Chicago time.
"Ay. Sir. Sayang. Kaalis lang po ni Sir Thomas." Sagot nung maid.
"San daw po pupunta?" Tanong ni Ara
"Hindi po sinabi eh. Pagdating nun ansaya saya niya. Pero pagkatapos niyang makipagusap dun sa dalawang lalake. Parang gulong gulo na siya. Gusto ko ngang lapitan kasi feeling ko frustrated na siya eh" pagke kwento niya. Axel immediately dialed his brother's number on his phone. Luckily, Thomas answered.
"Bro, I heard you're in Chicago. But where the hell are you?!" Axel said as soon as Thomas answered the line
"Relax Bro. (Laughs) I am at the Airport." Axel is about to to back to his car but he suddenly stopped
"Don't come here. You'll just waste your time and gas. We're boarding soon anyways." sagot ni Thomas from the other line
"You should have called me. Sinabi mo sana sa akin na pupunta ka para nag dinner manlang tayo or what" sabi ni Axel
"Next time bro. Next time. Hours lang naman ako nagtagal since I just had a meeting with a client" sagot ni Thomas
"How's Ara?" Tanong bi Axel sa kaniya. Thomas was suddenly quiet. Not knowing what to say, I guess?
"She's on a vacation right now. Anyway, Bro. We're boarding na. Drinks are on me next time. Take care!" Mabilis na sabi ni Thomas at binaba na ang phone. Axel was saddened by it, 'cause he was about to say something to him
"I am with your girlfriend. (Sigh)" napabuntong hininga nalang siya at saka nagsalita ulit
"Sleep here tonight." Yun lang ang tanging nasabi niya kay Ara at umakyat na sa kwarto niya.

Ara's POV
Akala ko makikita ko na siya ngayon. But I failed again. This is all my fault anyway. I lied to him. I kept a secret for 5 years which I am still keeping now. Lost my friends, ran away. I have a nice story right?
It's 3am in the morning. And I am still awake. Wide awake. I cant sleep. Hindi mapanatag ang loob ko dahil...
"Don't worry. He'll be fine. You'll be fine." Dinig kong sabi ni Axel. Gising pa pala siya
"Can't sleep?" Tanong niya sa akin
"Oo eh. How can I sleep in a situation like this?" Natatawang sabi ko.
"Here. Drink some milk" sabi niya at nagabot sa akin ng glass ng milk
"Hindi ka din makatulog?" Curious na tanong ko
"(Nods) I had insomnia when I was in college. Up until now. Bumalik eh, hindi ko din alam kung bakit. The doctors can't explain how I had it or how It came back" sagot niya. Oh. I didn't know that my boyfriend's brother had insomnia
"Thomas doesn't know about this. Sabi kasi nila, one of the causes of insomnia is stress. I had insomnia when Thomas had a heartache. Kaya mas pinili nila mom na wag ng sabihin sa kaniya dahil baka maka affect yun sa sakit niya" page explain niya
"When did it came back?" Tanong ko
"2 years ago." Sagot niya at tumingin na sa malayo
"That's why you should get a girlfriend or get married instead" pagloloko ko sa kaniya.
"Ayos din ang love story niyo ng kapatid ko ah. Parang mga feeling teenager kayo. Bat di niyo nalang to ayusin" sabi niya sa akin
"Alam mong mahirap, Kuya. Hindi ko nga alam kung pano ko uumpisahan eh" malungkot na sabi ko
"What if, maunahan ka pa ni Thomas?" Tanong niya nanaman sa akin. We were also talking about this earlier.
"Bahala na. Bahala na kung saan ako pulutin." Although, i keep on saying na 'bahala na' hindi pa din ako mapalagay. Hindi ko alam kung anong mangyayari sa amin ni Thomas kapag nalaman niya. Back to square one? Or probably mawala na yung KAMI.
"Matigas ka talaga huh. Your promises are not meant to be broken, I guess?" Natatawang sabi sa akin ni Axel
"Not all the times. (Smirk) I promised him that I wont keep any secrets from
him but I broke that promise." Sagot ko.
"What will you do then?" Tanong niya
"I'll just rest for now. That's the least I can do. At ikaw, try to sleep okay?" Sabi ko at nagpaalam na sa kaniya. Oh well. It will be a new day soon. New beginning, a fresh start. But how can I start my day?
Thomas' POV
Gulong gulo ang utak ko dahil sa mga nalaman ko. Kaya nung nalaman ko na nasa Chicago din si Ara, nag decide ako na umalis muna. I cant face her right now. Now that I already know the truth, I cant face her. Because I don't know what to say to her.
Should I be angry? Am I frustrated? Yes I am. But I cant see signs of angers right now. In fact, I miss her. Nakakatawa nga eh. Galit dapat ako sa kaniya eh. Pero hindi ko magawa dahil mahal ko siya.
"Welcome to Korea Oppa.(kuya)" bati sa akin ni Yong. Juliana. My cousin. Remember? She's now a famous model here in Korea. Half korean half Filipino siya anyway.
"Oh. Annyeonghasseyo (hello)" natatawang bati ko sa kaniya
"Tumigil ka nga. Marunong pa din akong magtagalog and english no." She said then laughed.
"Let's go. I want to rest" yaya ko sa kaniya. For now, magpapahinga lang muna ako. Baka sakaling bukas pag gising ko, maayos na ang utak ko.
