No Walls, No Ceilings, No Floor

Locked In My Arms..

Nena pulled away from Richard...

R: Nena, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry...

Nena was in tears ..

N: Don't be sorry Richard, I mean...

Then Richard rubbed her tears and hugged her tightly...

Richard: I really don't know what's got into me, hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko...

Nena looked at him..

N: You're still hurting, siguro masyado ka lang nalulungkot ngayon dahil sa mga nangyayari sa buhay mo.
R: Nena, muna nang magkita tayo ulit parang gumaan lahat ng dinadala ko..
N: This is too fast Richard, you still need to sort things out, yung feelings mo toward Cindy, yung mga naghihintay na trabaho sayo.. ayusin mo muna lahat yun...
R: What are you saying Nena?
N: (Nena couldn't hold off her tears) Hindi ko alam kung ano tong nararamdaman ko para sayo... I also need to be sure, ang dami ko na ring ginagawa... you and I need to set our priorities..aaminin ko, nasaktan ako nung nag propose ka kay Cindy, hindi ko alam kung bakit..ilang araw ko din yung dinamdam pero sabi Nanay mawawala din daw yung sakit pero hindi nawala hanggang nagpakasal ka kay Cindy... and now all these things happened.
Pero bakit nasasaktan pa rin ako kahit nandito ka na sa harap ko, kasama ko...

And Richard keeps wiping her tears..

R: I'm really sorry, I didn't mean for you to feel this way, ayoko rin masaktan ka and I don't want to hurt you... Binalaan na rin ako noon ni Aling Nila na layuan ka, nahirapan ako pero ginawa ko. Nena, listen to me, let's start fresh...ok, aayusin ko ang buhay ko, but promise me that you will wait for me (Richard hold both Nena's hand) wait for me, look at me...wait for me...

And Nena gave Richard a nod...

*****

Richard left for Los Angeles to tend to his commitments. He will be preparing for his role for the movie that he's going to do with Johnny Depp...

He would touch base with Nena whenever he gets the time.

Meanwhile Nena flew to New York to meet with Lady M.

Lady M: Nena, how have you been and how's the trip in Batanes?
Nena: Lady M, good evening po... well maayos na po ang Marigold's B&B Inn.. I worked on the menu with Chef Amour... just need to arrange with Lance Hospitality services for the soft opening, kailangan po natin ng konting tulong dahil we're still in the process of hiring people.
Lady M: Thank you Nena, you'll all grown up na nga.. listen Nena, did you know that Richard is going to Brazil for a movie?
N: Opo...
LM: He will be staying in one of my vacation home there... did you also know that Cindy will have a modelling stint there?
Nena, I'm aware that you like Richard a lot but with his line of work... Nena he's surrounded with temptation...I want you to explore things even in relationships, maganda ka at matalino at napaka bait, you deserve way more.
N: Magkaibigan lang po kami Lady M...
LM:  (she looked at Nena) Tell me honestly hija, in love ka ba kay Richard?

Nena was saved by Lady M's phone, it rang and because it was a call from her husband, she dismissed Nena by pointing her to leave the room...

Nanay Nila heard the conversation...

Nena: Nay...
Nanay: Nicomena, hindi ko na panghihimasukan kung ano man ang napagkasunduan nyo ni Richard. Masarap ang umibig pero mas masakit ang masaktan. Ihanda mo ang sarili mo...
Nena: Nay, matagal na po akong handa. Yung nararamdaman ko po kay Richard noon ganun pa rin hanggang ngayon...sorry po Nay...

Nanay Nila held her daughter and they both started to cry..
You have a pure and good heart Nena. I guess cannot protect you when you it comes to matters of the heart. Ako kasi nasaktan na eh, ayokong maranasan mo yung naranasan ko pero mas matapang ka kaysa akin.

She looked at Nena...

Nanay: Basta nandito lang ako palagi para sayo... tandaan mo yan...
Nena: Opo Nay. Salamat po...

Richard: Nena, hi, kumusta ka na?
Nena: Ok lang ako, how's the shooting coming along?
R: Ok lang... it's really fast, walang nasasayang na oras...
N: Kumusta naman si Johnny Depp ka-trabaho?
R: Masaya...maloko.. humble...Nena...
N: Yeah...
R: Miss na kita...
N: Asus... drama mo...
R: Cindy is here....

Nena was quiet ...

R: Nens?
N: I'm here...
R: I'm telling you this dahil alam kong may mga lalabas na balita sooner or later...
N: Hindi ako madaling maniwala sa mga sabi-sabi..
R: Nens, nagkita na kami...

Nena was listening intently, she's nervous...

R: We talked about us, the wedding... everything..... and she's pregnant....
