CTTO of the Photos:)

AN: Pasensya na kayo sa gulo ng takbo ng story ha.Labo labo na ata:)

Asher woke up early the next day kahit pa late na sya nakatulog. Bamboo left her unit past midnight na rin. It's only 7:30 Am and someone is buzzing her door. And afterwards a call from Sam kept her from going back to bed.

She's unpacking some stuff from the box that just arrived. She sent it ahead of time bago pa sya nag byahe.

She's looking at some of her framed photos with her family, her friends. She displayed some of her framed photos on the book stand. As she was looking at her stuff she stumbled upon her photos with Bamboo which was taken in the photo booth  during the prom.

" Kahit talaga kailan ang sungit mo tignan. Pero in fairness guapo ka naman kahit paano." Asher said aloud. She loves talking aloud kahit walang kausap.

There was also some photos taken by her mom and tita Marie at their house bago sila umalis ng bahay that day. Seing those photos brings back memories for Asher.

" Imagine, its been 12 years ago and ngayon nyo lang naayos issues nyo." She said as if talking to her and Bamboo's photos.

"Too much time and emotions wasted,and up to now, wala pa din malinaw sa inyo." She scans the other photos and saw Sam's and Bri's among them.
She was happy to have both of those guys in her life, she found good friends in them.

Sam called her that morning, saying that he changed his mind in quitting his job and working for Asher. She understand his reason and agreed that it could be for the better. The two is still friend but according to Sam , it will be easier for him if he will not be spending time with her, which she totally understand. Asher can't forget one of Sam's advice earlier.

" Hey Asher, don't be afraid to try things with him. You could be denying yourself something really special. "

" Look , what happened to both of you 12 years ago is part of the past, its an unexpected thing for both of you, and honestly, I can see how much he cared for you.  I'm a man myself, I know the look a man gives to the woman he loves and I see that in Francisco."

Asher also remembered what Bri told her just the other day. She was on the phone with him. They dated for a several months and became a couple for a few months before deciding to be just friends. The reason was that Bri having some personality issues and Asher realizing that they better off as friends. Her and Bri's relationship was special and complicated and now he's one of her confidant. He knows about her feelings for Francisco/Bamboo and for him Asher should give it a try.

" I'd say I will give him the chance. You know you love him, fears are part of being in love, everyone has them, what is important is you feel the connection."

" Knowing each other is a good thing, but why waste time when you two can know each other while being together."

"Look at us, we dated for sometime but still we ended up not really knowing each other until we broke up, so Ash, love, I'm telling you, you don't hold the flame for someone for 12 years only to coward in the end."

Asher's reverie was cut when her phone rings. It's Bamboo calling.

" Hey."
