Ace Austin's Point of Veiw

AFTER PURCHASING the bag, I look at her again and smile. I'll be meeting her later, I wonder if she still remember me. I decided to choose restaurant for us to meet and eat, I also message my sister that I'm already here waiting for them.

I didn't wait long because I also saw the three of them walking inside where I was, my sister immediately greeted me when she saw me. "Kuya!" Ainsley greet me, I welcome her with a hug.

Behind her is Josh and Heather, she looks shock seeing me. Did you remember me? Ainsley introduce her best friend to me, "Kuya, this is my best friend, Honey. And this is her brother, Josh" Ainsley said, nag decide kaming magpanggap na hindi namin kilala ang isa't-isa. Nakipag-shake hands ako kay Josh, kasama ito sa plano para walang masyadong maraming tanong si Heather pag nalaman niyang magkakilala kaming tatlo.

She just smiled at me, but it's already enough. "And Honey, Josh. This is my dearest brother, Ace Austin" Ainsley said. I waved my hand at them and motioned them to seat. When the waiter went to us to ask our orders, Heather managed to assist herself. I choose Spanish Restaurant for her so she can order she wants, she's more comfortable in Spanish foods than other dish.

"So? When did you come back, Kuya?" Ainsley asked me.

"Midnight, Mom told me you wait for me but eventually you fall asleep while waiting for me. And you probably didn't see me because I leave early to visit the shop Ate Addileigh told me to visit" I said.

"Anyway Kuya, she's the one I'm telling you. My best friend Honey, she's with us today. And she's also invited on Ate's wedding" Ainsley said.

I look at her and she smiled at me again, how can that smile makes someone melt?! Ah! I'm so whipped! To someone who doesn't even know that I like her!

"So? Are you Spanish? My sister told me you live in Spain" I asked even though I know the answer, I just wanted to have conversation with her again.

"I'm half Spaniard-half Filipina my Father was full Spaniard while my Mom was full Filipina" she said, I nodded at her.

To talk to her like this again was indeed fulfilling, I remember our first conversation that night. Her questions about what's the feeling of going out at night and stare at see, I hope for her to experience that kind of stuffs one day.

"I'm already done with my stuffs" I said when Josh asked about my new school in America, Heather was just there listening to us. But seeing her like this is okay, we always include her in our conversation.

"By the way, I have something for you, Ainsley" I said and get the paper bag "Oh? I got that one brand too! But I brought purse" sabi ni Ainsley.

I gave her the paper bag "Thank you so much!" Ainsley said and hug me. After we eat, they decided to go for a walk. "Aren't you gonna go and tell her you know her?" Ainsley asked, I shook my head.

"No, I don't want to triggered her mind" I said, she nodded. I know she remembers me deep inside but since she's in her father's care, she won't. I remember what Josh's told me the day I told him that me and his sister had a conversation, and also about the ring.

"My sister probably forget you the next day" Josh said, I look at him in disbelief. "I'm not being rude, Ace. I'm telling the truth, you know that she's in danger. Yvonne think she has lost memory disease, she forgets things around her. If she has good days today, eventually she forgets it the next day" Josh said.

"That's the reason why my sister took home schooled when she's young, her father give her medicine. Gamot yun na tingin ko ay binubura ang mga alaala niya" sabi ni Josh, nagtataka akong tumingin sa kanya.
