TJ's Pov

It's been a week since last kong nakita si Mr. Stranger. It's been a week na rin na panay ang bisita ko. It's Sunday night and wala pa sila. Mom said earlier that Zu and Ciaran went to somewhere. Well, I can smell something fishy between Zu and Ciaran kasi lagi silang magkasama. Hindi ko nga alam kung paano nagkatime si Ciaran eh ang alam ko busy sila ng banda niya since malapit na ang concert nila. After overthinking, I heard three knocks from the door.

''Come in.'' sabi ko. Agad namang binuksan ito ni Mom. Yeah, it's mom.

''Mom, where are the others?'' tanong ko. I thought they would come together here.

''Oh, may pinuntahan lang sila saglit.'' Sabi ni mom. I can see in her eyes that she has a problem.

''Mom, what's the problem?'' I asked because she's spacing out.

''N-Nothing.'' She said unconvincingly.

''Mom, you know that you can always count on me.'' I said.

''I-I don't know how to deal with it anak.'' She said while starting to cry.

''M-Mom, please don't cry.'' I said trying not to cry too.

''Anak..'' She cried and hugged me. I don't want to see her like this.

''Shhh. It's about me right?'' I asked. I can really feel that it's about my condition.

''Mom, please tell me...I want to know. I have prepared my self for 15 years just to know about it.'' I said. She broke the hug then look straightly into my eyes before saying it.

''Please don't cry baby...'' She said then started telling me. She satrted telling me everything and I was like a kid listening to the story teller.

Third Person's Pov

''Dumayo naman tayo sa showbiz balita. Ilang araw ng nasa St. Theresa Medical Hospital ang anak ng mga pinakasikat na business tycoons around the world na si Trixiana Jeul Thompson. Ayon sa mga nakasaksi sa pangyayari, bigla na lamang nagcollapsed si Trixiana Thompson na may tumutulong dugo sa kanyang ilong noong pumunta siya sa isa nilang branch ng hotel kung saan naroroon ang mga pinakasikat na banda ngayon. At ayon pa sa mga nakasaksi, ang miyembro ng bandang ito na si Ciaran Idris Duxbury ang tumulong sa dalaga. And speaking of Mr. Duxbury, mayroon namang kumakalat na mga pictures niya sa isang restaurant na kung saan ay makikita natin siyang may kasamang dalaga. Is the silent type guy had fallen inlove? Let's see kung totoo nga ito but before that, back to you guys.'' Sabi ng reporter.

Napabuga na lang ng hininga si Zuleicka. Kauuwi niya lang galing sa so caled friendly date nila ni Idris. It's been 3 days since her bestfriend Trixiana got confined into the hospital. And by that day, she and Idris became close to think that they almost had there so called friendly date but it seems like nagka-issue pa tuloy sila lalo na si Idris. Alam ng dalaga na napakahirap ng sitwasyon nila ng binata, being a celebrity is really not a joke.

Her phone suddenly vibrated and she picked it up, knowing that it is Idris.

''Good evening my princess...'' Idris said from the other line which made Zu blush.

''G-Good evening m-my prince...'' She replied. She's still blushing while stating those sweet little words. It was indeed Idris' idea. After they had there so called friendly date, Idris insisted to have a call sign. At first ayaw ni Zu since parang kakikilala lang nila and may call sign pa, she believes that call signs are just for those who have relationships because she finds it corny if it's not about mutual relationship. Pero hindi niya naman matanggihan ang binata kasi nga she likes him a lot.
