Dawn's PoV
" love? " Chard called while he was knocking at my door
" pasok po! " I said cheerfully
" ah love, may fan mails ka, gusto mo bang tulungan kita? " he offered
" alam mo pogi, I can do those tomorrow, pero for now, we have to spend time with each other " I said and hugged him
" naglalambing na naman po si Rachel, love, we have to --- " I kissed him
" shut up na pogi ha? It's my birthday naman eh, please? " I told him and smiled sweetly
" let's go! " he said and took my hands
At the hotel's garden,
" raaaarf! raaarf!!! " Bave barked as she ran to us
" Bave, namiss mo ko? " I asked and hugged him tight
" love, saglit lang ha? Got to take a call " he said and kissed my forehead
" sige pogi, dito muna kami ni baby " I said and carried Bave towards one of the tables
" raaarf! Raaarf!!! " Bave said, jumping out of the table
" bave! Bave! Come back here! " I said, running after Bave
After running around, I saw Bave running to a guy
" bave!!!! " I said, chasing after her
" oh hi little dog!!!! You seem lost! " said the guy carrying Bave and looked at me, I met his gaze and smiled
" mister, I'm sorry ha? Tumakbo kasi si Bave eh! " I said, getting the littledog out of his arms
" ok lang " he said and removed his sunglasses then stared at me
" ma-may mali ba sa mukha ko? " I said, staring back at him
" Rachel? " he said
" Rachel? Oh yeah, ako nga yun " sabi ko, looking at the dumbfounded look on his face " Kilala ba kita? " I asked
" Hindi mo ba ako natatandaan? " He said, holding my hand
" ah, sorry hindi, may I know your name? " I asked, trying to get his hands off mine
" I'm Michael, Michael Araneta " he said
" Love! " Chard called me, then I saw him running towards our direction
" babe! Tumakbo kasi si Bave eh! " I said at tinanggal yung kamay ko from Michael's grip
" Love, sino siya? " first thing Chard asked me when he saw Michael
" I don't remember eh, pero sabi niya we're good friends " I explained " Michael, si Richard nga pala "
" ah, Boyfriend mo? " he asked
" hindi " I said and smiled " he's my fiance " sabi ko and gave Bave to Chard
" ah, saan mo nakilala si Dawn? " Chard asked with sweaty eyes
" we met in Davao, I think that was 2 years ago " he said looking at me
" you mean, before her accident? " Chard asked, which made me slap his hands
" babe! Private naman yun! " I said
" not before, but after " he said
" sorry ha? Di ko talaga maalala eh.... Pero, maybe we can talk about it over coffee sometime, medyo busy din kasi ako eh " I said
" sige Rach- I mean Dawn, pero can I have your number? " he asked, since my fiance was around I gave it to him
" sige, text me na lang, pero hindi ako laging magrereply, coz alam mo naman, we're both busy " I said and hold Chard's hand
