BRAYDEN's POV

"You think she'll come?" Tanong ni Aiden sa akin saka umupo sa upuan na nasa harap ko.

"I don't have any idea." Seryoso kong sagot sa kanya

Alam kong she already quit as a model kaya hindi ako sure na aattend siya sa 20th Anniversary ng Lee Sky. But I'm still hoping that she'll accept the invitation.

Sabay kaming napalingon ni Aiden ng biglang pumasok si Marian na may dalang isang paperbag.

"Hey babe, I brought this for you. Oh, hi there Aiden." Bati nito saka naglakad papalapit sa akin at iniabot ang dala-dalang paperbag.

"What is this for?" I asked, getting confused.

Kumunot naman ang noo nito, "You don't remember what day is today?" She asked back, disappointedly.

"May okasyon ba ngayong araw? I'm sorry I got lost with the date today." Sagot ko naman and I have to be honest dahil wala talaga akong alam kung anong araw ngayon, I've been busy with our upcoming anniversary celebration. Nakikinig at nakatingin lang si Aiden sa aming dalawa ni Marian.

"Oww babe, it's our 7th anniversary." Marian answered saka ngumiti at lumapit sa akin at niyakap ako.

"Happy Anniversary Babe." She whispered while hugging me, agad ko naman siyang niyakap pabalik. "Happy anniversary babe." Tugon ko and kissed her forehead.

"I'm sorry, I have no idea that it's today. You know that I'm quite busy and I don't we can have dinner together tonight. I have to finish a lot of things." Saad ko dahilan mapabitaw siya sa yakap ko.

"It's fine, let's just celebrate it when you're free." Aniya saka hinalikan ako sa labi bago naglakad papalapit sa pinto. "Bye Aiden, see you around." Paalam nito, tanging tango lang ang naging tugon ni Aiden sa kanya hanggang sa tuluyan siyang nakalabas.

"Hindi ko alam na hanggang ngayon ay kayo parin ni Marian." Aiden spoke after almost a minute of silence.

"We're still together it's just that we don't show it in public." Sagot ko sa kanya, it's actually Marian's idea that we keep our relationship low. It has been 7 years and we're already in our 2 years when Agatha found out that I'm dating someone else.

Hindi na ulit nagsalita si Aiden at tinuon ang atensyon sa jenga tower na ginagawa nito.

"May gagawin ba kayo mamaya? Let's have a drink." Aya ko sa kanya.

"Wala naman pero akala ko ba tatapusin mo yung mga chart?"

"Bukas ko nalang tatapusin." Sagot ko sa kanya saka tumayo at kinuha ang susi ng kotse ko. Sabay kaming bumaba ni Aiden papunta sa parking lot, he bought his car nagkanya-kanya kaming drive.

AGATHA's POV

"Ganon ba?" Tanong ko kay Amelia, magka-usap kasi kami ngayon sa skype. Wala naman akong trabaho dahil maaga ko itong natapos  kaya tinawagan ko si nalang  Amelia. She's still working as a model and she's also still dating Matthew, feel ko nga parang meant to be talaga sila.

["Pupunta ka doon sa anniversary celebration nila?"] Amelia asked.

Umiiling-iling naman ako sa kanya, "To be honest with you, wala talaga akong interesado na pumunta." I answered.
