I saw Michelle Morente running to where I was. My forehead creased when she saw me looking at her.

"Let's go!" She said and pulled me.

"Wait? Where are we going?" I asked her.

"Basta! You'll see din!"

"You'll drive?"

"No." She shook her head. "But you will."

Wala na akong nagawa kung hindi pagbigyan siya. She was pointing some directions that are familiar with me. I was shocked when I found out kung nasaan kami.

"So, welcome to my haven!" She said happily.

No, Mich. It's our safe haven. I smiled at her at sinundan na siya paakyat. I don't know what to feel about what's happening with me now.

"What are you thinking?" Mich asked.

I shook my head. "Nothing. What are we doing here?"

"I just need some fresh air. And, I know you needed it too."

I smiled again. She really knows me well.

"Are you really inlove with Maddie?" She asked me. I looked at her.

"Gago! Malamang!" I hissed.

"If you do, don't lose her ha." She seriously said. "Don't lose the girl who chose you over a guy who wears suit or tuxedo. See? She chose you even if you are wearing a skirt or bikini."

"Do you have a problem ba? And pinapasa mo nanaman sakin?" I asked her. Cos, I don't know what she was saying.

"Don't lose the girl who understands that aside from you, there is another girl out there na who's willing to show her the same thing."

"What are you saying?"

"Duh? Tots can do the same thing you did for Maddie."

I frowned. "Stop, don't mention her name."

"Jealous, beast." She mocks. "Anyway, Maddie never lose her hopes naman that one day, both of you will be together again."

"Alam ko, so what were you saying?"

"I was lighting up your mind." She laughs.

I raised an eyebrow. "Don't me, Morente. I know you so well."
  
"This were just a realizations, Bei. Jia made me realized this things. Gosh." She said. "Don't lose the girl who understands your mood swings."

"I know. Maddie tries to understand my change of mood, even my simple "okay" is enough for her to understands me."

She smiled. "Maddie's really inlove with you nga kasi."

"Alam ko nga. And, I'm hoping na sana ako pa rin."
    
She tapped my shoulder. "Maddie is not the girl na who will makes you feel loved throughout the years that you've been together tapos iiwan ka din. She was the on who stayed true with you since day one."

"She's the only constant in my life, Mich." I said. "She was the one who believes in me. Who never thinks of leaving me when I ask her to leave me. Who tells me that she loves me in every way.." I stopped because I realized something. "She wants to be with me forever and ever, even if believing in forever is still on the process of believing in it."

Mich messed my hair. "But do you know what's the most important thing?"
 
My forehead creased, "Never lose the girl who's afraid to lose you either."

I smiled. "I didn't lose her pa naman diba?"

"You don't. But pag pinatagal mo pa, baka oo." She stood up.
