"How are you doing, James? Are you married? You've been MIA for 2 solid years. What happened?" The interviewer from this certain newspaper asked. "I'm good! Yeah, it's been a long time. I just took a break, from all of this. And I also had to find someone, so yeah."
Yes, it's been two years since Nadine left. I "took a break" from showbiz too. I had to go around the world and look for her. I promised myself I wouldn't go back to showbiz until I see her or just her back.
Now that I'm back, I guess you all know what that means.

I'm currently here in Milan, in search for Nadine. Thanks to her "Paper Town-ish" set up, I was able to enjoy some places in the world already. No shit though, it was really nice.
I've been here for what, a year already? And I still haven't found what I was looking for.
Today, I decided to go to the supermarket and buy something to cook since my fridge is out of food. Roaming around the supermarket with my cart, I bumped into someone. "Oops, sorry."
Not Nadine. "It's okay. I'm sorry, I was in the way." We exchanged smiles and went on our ways. As I was walking around the fruits section, I saw this blonde girl laughing while on the phone.
She turned around and my heart stopped. Nadine. She dressed up as Harley Quinn. I tried so hard to keep myself from running to her and hugging her. I was successful to do so.
I breathed in. And out. In. And out. I wiped my sweaty palms and started to walk towards her.
Just as I was about to take my first step, my eyes were greeted with a sight of a man hugging her. Tears started to well up but I wiped them away immediately.
She found another guy.
I rushed to the cashier and paid for the things I gathered in my cart. I went home immediately and made myself busy.
She has a new boyfriend already.
Since Nadine blocked me from her Facebook account, I made a new one and used it to stalk her account.
Yup. Confirmed. He's the boyfriend.
I cried for how many minutes and then composed myself. I have to accept that not everything is according to plan. No matter how much you wish that "she's the one" or pray to God that it should be her already, it will not go the way you want it to be.
Maybe Nadine and I are not really meant to be together.
Maybe someone better will come and make my dark days bright.

"Do you have a new loved one?" The interviewer asked, curiosity evident in her voice. "Yes," I answered with a smile.
"Who's the lucky girl?" She asked.

"Let's just say we met at the supermarket in Milan, because I bumped her with my cart."
THE END.
