"I still couldn't believe you're here..." she uttered.

We both decided to go on a date after the event in the orphanage. I've met Danny again and Herold who I get to know when Cory told me about him back in Palawan. I found out that Danny was also talking to Herold to pull through this plan ahead of time.

After the plan, I'd asked her out since it was her birthday, I thought I should do something and talk through things with her. She might still be in the limelight of shock and surprise and what happened the past few months might blur them out for her.

I believe, just to make sure everything would is settled between us, I need to make sure we're both okay.

Danny didn't come with us and let us have our own space to talk. Danny spilled the tea back on the orphanage that put us in this position. Thinking back and how it went, it was far from what I'd imagined, and I'm happy that Cory didn't push me away.

"Don't you still believe I am, do you?"

She giggled. "Kind of. You also made me feel a little delusional earlier. I thought I was making it all up and talking to a ghost. I thought I was so stupid imagining you were there."

I planted a kiss on her head.

We went to a Taiwanese restaurant in Mega as she said they're famous for their signature dish so that's where we are heading. Good thing, we were able to reserve a seat beforehand we get into the place since walking in might take time for us to wait.

As we were seated, the staff attended to us and brief us on what they are offering tonight. 

"So, how are you?"

"Parang natanong mo na naman 'yan kanina?" Taas kilay nitong tanong sa akin.

I chuckled. "Hindi ba pwedeng ulitin? I would still like to know what you have been doing for the past few months?"

Napabitaw siya nang malalim na hininga. "Well, life has been pretty for me for the past couple of months. Right after I felt Palawan, I started working with the post-production team who will work on the videos we took back there. Aside from writing, drafting, and all sort of stuff, life has never been easy for me lately. Especially when..."
