Ziven
"Are you all right?"

Ziven stood beside her.

Svajone
"No."

"I missed baking with Adira. . ."

She sighed.

Ziven
"I am sure she's very proud of you."

Svajone weakly smiled.

Svajone
"Her parents told me that she's suffering from depression."

"I think she overworked herself, Seven."

"Kilalang-kilala ko si Adira, gusto niya palaging mataas nakukuha niyang marka, and if she failed to do so. . . she'll be stressed out, thinking that she's a failure."

She sighed as she continued to roll the dough.

Ziven
"Svajone. . ."

Ziven grasped her hands and hugged her tightly.

Ziven
"I'm not going anywhere."

"I'll always be here."

Svajone's tears started to fall.

Svajone
"I feel empty. . ."

She hugged him tightly.

Ziven
"I'll just close the Café."

He stopped hugging her and pat her head.

Ziven
"Hatid na kita sa bahay mo."

Svajone
"But-"

Ziven
"No buts. Palagi na kitang iha-hatid."

"I can't lose you again."

Ziven walked away and started to close the shop. She was left dumbfounded; thinking of what he said.

I can't lose you again

Svajone just sighed and started cleaning. Thinking of what Ziven just said earlier, she smiled and bit her lower lip.

Svajone
"This is bad."
