Anonymous POV

*At Zeffa's House*

"Sir, asan ka na?" Mark said.

Kanina pa niya hinihintay si Zeffa este si Mighty Zeffa pero ni anino niya hindi pa rin niya nahahagilap. He looked at his watch, 3:10 am. Pagkatingin niya sa oras mas lalo pa siyang inantok at nainis. He scratched his face, his back, his hands.. Lahat na ata ng pwedeng gawin para panatilihing nakabukas ang mata niya ginawa na niya. Nakaubos na siya ng tatlong tasa ng kape para lang hindi siya antukin pero pag napapasandal siya sa upuan, hindi niya pa rin naiiwasang maipikit ang mata niya sa sobrang antok at pagod.

He tried to keep awake, he wanted to keep awake, not because he was concerned about Zeffa but because he was concerned with Soffie. Oo, tama kayo, tinamaan na naman ang lintik, inlove na naman siya, agad agad. At sa kapatid ni Zeffa ulit-ulit!

Kung hindi nga lang siya nangako kay Soffie na hihintayin niya si Zeffa kanina pa sana siya tulog, kaso, ano pa bang magagawa niya. Yan kasi, pangako ng pangako, nasilaw sa kagandahan eh di eye bugs ang abot niya.

He insisted on waiting for Zeffa, hindi niya kasi kayang panooring halos matumba na sa sobrang antok si Soffie. She was waiting for more than one hour when he decided to take over her position. He promised her he would not sleep until Zeffa's home, kaya ayun, talagang kina- career niya ang pangako niya. Hayy, mga inlove nga naman.

*At Amy's House*

"Eto oh." Amy said while giving a piece of sushi in Andie's plate. Sa labas sila ng bahay nagdidinner, technically not outside because they are still within Amy's premises. They ate in her garden enclosed by a 2ft. wooden fence.

Amy's house was just like any other ordinary house. Small, old, but very beautiful, as how Andie describes it. Kung tatayo ka sa labas ng bahay nila makikita mo kung anong ginagawa nila ngayon ni Andie dahil mababa ang kinatitirikan ng bahay nila. Let's just say, kung halimbawang sasakay ka sa kotse hindi mo na kailangan paandarin yun para bumaba.

They set-up their table in the middle of the garden, and they sat on the grasses. Marami silang pinagusapan. Well not really "sila" kasi puro si Amy ang tanong ng tanong at salita ng salita. Tahimik lang si Andie, laughing every time Amy laughs and stops every time Amy would tell her to stop.

"Bukas bisitahin natin si Tita Ada ha?

"Uh-huh."

"Andie sabihin mo nga mukha ba akong matanda or kamukha ko na si Santa Claus?"

"Hahahaha.."

"Hahaha? Grabe ka talaga, hindi ka man lang mag-react! Kita mong hirap na hirap akong iform itong seaweed sa bunganga ko para gawing balbas! Parang nababayaran ang salita mo ha! Alam kong hindi ka mahilig magsalita pero sabihin mo namang kahit may balbas ako mukha pa rin akong "prinsesa." Okay?"

"Okay. Hmm, mukha kang matandang babae?

She giggled.

"Tsk, wag ka nang magsalita!"

Zip mouth.

"Okay! Tumawa ka!"

Laughs hard.

"Ngayon tumigil ka!"

Giggle.

"Maganda ba ako?"

"Lasingin mo ako so I could answer you."

**Blag!

"Awww..."

"Matutulog na tayo! Halika na, matutulog na tayo!"

"Hmm?"

"Talagang...!"

Yes, that is an actual conversation between Amy and Andie. Oh, nagtataka siguro kayo kung bakit ganun si Andie. Bakit parang ang tahimik niya? Tahimik siya dahil.... tahimik naman talaga siyang tao.

Yes, pag hindi niya kasama si Zeffa, ibang tao siya.

She's one calm lady, well again, except when she's with Zeffa.

She's quiet and soft spoken, when she's not with Zeffa.

And most especially Shy and modest, again when she's not with Zeffa.

In short, she is the perfect definition of "Maria Clara", when she is not with Zeffa.

Oh di ba nakapagtataka, paano napagtratransform ni Lord Zeffa si Angelic Andie sa tuwing nagkrukrus ang landas nila?

Hindi kaya dahil..... dahil.... Uy... kinikilig.. Hohoho! ^0^

Andie's POV

4:23 am, everybody in the neighborhood were already sleeping, except me. I couldn't sleep; I still couldn't sleep. Why? I don't know. It isn't clear to me why, why I kept on turning over and over again, why I would catch my breath very often, and why I would look through the window once in a while to see the outside view.

Then, I finally admitted why... it is because of that man.

Why is it so hard for me to admit I am behaving this way because of him? I know we just met but can you blame me? I am not behaving this way because I miss his so called godly features, nor can't sleep because I miss his angelic smile. I am behaving this way because I feel bad for sending him away.

Let me get this straight, I don't regret anything I've said or done, and I am most definitely not guilty for slapping him.

I know he knows he deserves that and I won't apologize for his selfishness, that's why I hate myself for thinking about him.

I feel bad thinking somewhere out there in the frozen night, he is still standing there alone like the moron he is.

But no.

No one would dare to stay outside in this cold weather. I am pretty sure he is already home. I am sure by this time he's already sleeping peacefully in his house. While me, I am wide awake as I look for him outside the window.

"It's been 40 minutes Andie. 40 minutes."

04:22 AM. Andie Lee, decided to close the lights.
