**START**

The next day, he sent a message to Jastine.

'Bun, I already returned all of your additional designs for the collection. All approved. Everything was amazing and unique.'

'Thank you, Ken.' he replied.

'I love you, baby bunny.'

Jastine feels the butterflies in his stomach again, so he puts down his phone immediately. Ayaw niyang magpadala sa emotions niya. He loves Kenneth, of course he does. Pero he wanted him to learn na hindi pwedeng puro pagmamahal lang. That they need communication to understand each other better or to compromise if needed. Kaya kahit na gustong gusto na niya itong replyan, hind niya ginawa.

Two days have passed already pero hindi parin sila nagkikita ni Kenneth and Jastine is starting to loose hope, he was actually planning to finish the summer collection then magpapaalam na siya ng indefinite leave, then he'll think things over, para ma-klaro na din sa isip niya ang dapat niyang gawin, but for now, he just wants to focus on their ongoing project.

Kenneth and Jastine keep themselves busy the whole day. Jastine was almost finished with the first batch of their summer collection, and he is so excited. Alam niyang maganda ang magiging outcome nito. While Kenneth spent the whole day with meetings and reviewing documents.

It was already 3 p.m. nang matapos ang lahat ng meeting ni Kenneth, he was on his swivel chair massaging his temple. He was thinking of Jastine again. Alam niyang nagtatampo ito, and he can't blame him. He was aware of his own actions lately, and he is really trying his best to make Jastine feel better, pero siya mismo hindi niya rin maintindihan ang sarili niya.

He was just also trying to give Jastine a space.

"Angie," he called from the intercom.

"Yes, sir Kenneth?" Sagot naman ng secretary niya.

He sighed before speaking again. "Please send food to Jastine," he instructed. Alam na ng secretary niya ang mga gusto ni Jastine dahil lagi naman niya itong inuutusan magpadala ng kung ano-ano sa office nito.

"Copy sir," yun lamang ang naging tugon nito.

Minutes have passed, and Kenneth was reviewing another proposal of partnership sent by a known designer when the intercom beeped and Angie spoke.

"Hi sir Kenneth, sir iniwan ko po sa table ni sir Jastine yung food, lumabas daw po kasi. Kasama daw po yung friend niya." sabi nito.

"Okay." was his only response. He checked on his phone, pero wala namang message si Jastine. He checked on the time again, and he's so sure that Syl is still in a meeting, so sinong kasama ni Jastine?

He tried calling him, but his phone was turned off. Kenneth had no choice but to message Syl.

'Hi Syl, just in any case, would you know kung nasan si Tine?' message sent.

He patiently waited for Syl's reply. Ewan ba niya, pero hindi siya mapakali. He wonders why Jastine didn't bother to message him, kahit lagi naman nilang ginagawang magsabi sa isa't-isa.
