Love Next Door

Teaser 3 - Under One Roof

The walls have been broken down. No longer do they live in separate units, but rather sleep under one roof.

For Jeron, Mika only married him to save their family business, making him cautious about his actions towards her.

For Mika, Jeron is just living up to his end of the bargain, as her image of him is still marred by the lies of the past.

Fear. Mistrust. Hidden feelings.

Will the love they found next door to each other be enough to tear down these new walls that keep their hearts apart?

"Since magkasama na tayo ngayon sa isang bahay, dapat meron tayong house rules."

"Ahh... This seems familiar. From the movies, right?"

"Pinagsasabi mo?"

"Oh, you know. We'll make rules. And then we'll break them.

Anyway, game naman ako.

Just leave out the "Don't fall in love with me" rule.

That has long been broken."

"Grabe naman 'to, Potch! Hindi naman masyadong obsessed sayo ang asawa mo, 'no?"

"Bakit ba nandito pa 'tong mga 'to?"

"Didn't you know? This was King Archer's final exhibit. Kuya Ron gave up photography to focus on your family business.

Kumbaga, last arrow na niya 'to. Kaya this one's really special to him. Aside from the fact that it's about you, of course."

"Mika..."

"Hmmm?"

"Yung answer mo sa last question kanina...

Did you really mean that?

Or... sinabi mo lang yon to make the article a good read?"

"I meant every word."

"I'll take that. Kahit binobola mo lang ako, I'll take that. Kaya wala nang bawian."

"Wala na po."

Author's Note:

Wala na nga bang bawian? Hahahaha
