Gwendolyn Alvarez is all over the news. The headlines specifically says that the top model is back to her home country for good.

Napapansin ko rin ang matagal na pag uwi ni Hugo kumpara sa dati, he is over working. Minsan ko na siyang pinuntahan sa opisina nito dahil sa hating gabi na at hindi ito umuuwi.

Late rin ako makakauwi sana and when he texted me that he will be home late I decided to drove to his office instead na dumeretso sa bahay.

Naabotan ko itong busy sa trabaho, maybe he is really bothered that Gwendolyn, his first love is back.

Ayuko mag isip ng kung ano ano and as much as possible I don't want to stain the relationship that we have by being nosy.

I promised to myself that I would never bring up Gwendolyn in our conversation and I don't want to confront him with what he truly feels kase baka hindi ko rin naman magustohan ang magiging sagot nito.

Hugo is a good man, he is a man of his words alam ko na hindi niya magagawang gumawa ng ikakasakit ng aking damdamin alam ko iyon sa sarili ko.

He is true to his words. Paulit ulit kong sinasabi sa isip ko.

Kahit na itong relasyon na meron kami ay hindi bunga ng pagmamahalan, I am contented with what we have and I hope he also feels the same.

Napatingin ako sa pintuan ng aking opisina ng bigla itong bumukas.

Brianna march inside my office with an attitude.

"Look at this Priscilla" anya sa tonong hindi nasisiyahan.

She placed her phone infront of my face and played a video. It is Gwendolyn's interview outside the airport, posted three days ago.

"Miss Gwendolyn, is it true that you are staying here for good?"

"Yes, hopefully." She answered as she smiled genuinely.

"Are you open to work again in our local networks?" Tanong ng isa pang interviewer.

"Yes, but maybe sooner. I'm back for different reason, my hands are kinda full."

I heard Brianna grunt kaya napatingin ako sa kanya, I saw how she rolled her eyes sa kawalan at bumusangot pa ito lalo.

"Is the rumors true? Is it because of a man?"

Napatingin ulit ako sa cellphone ni Brianna ng may nagtanong ulit kay Gwendolyn.

What rumor? I haven't heard any rumor about her.

Nakita ko ang pagbaling ni Gwendolyn sa nagtanong pero tanging ngiti lang ang tugon nito.

"If you don't mind me asking Miss Gwendolyn. What are your reasons po?"

Gwendolyn took off her sunglasses and we can now clearly see her confidence dahil sa matapang nitong mata.

"I'm here to make up for my past mistakes and take back what's mine." She said as she looked straight at the camera na parang may taong pinapahiwatigan.

Hindi rin nakawala sa aking mata na parang may bahid na paghihinayang akong nakikita sa mga mata nito.

And suddenly I felt my heart race. Is she referring to -

I am really and overthinker, I should get rid of this characteristic of mine.

"Can you gave us further details?"

Tanong pa ng journalist.

Pero hindi na ito masagot ni Gwendolyn dahil hinila na ito ng kanyang manager palayo sa media.
