"Yumera! Buti naman nakapunta ka, akala ko hindi ka na makakaabot rito."bungad sa akin ni Marius ng makapasok ako sa airport at pinuntahan siya rito sa may waiting area. Well, I made Brandon wait for me outside habang ako na lang ang pumasok, I don't want them to see each other because of what happened last time that is why to prevent them from having a fight I need to hide Brandon.

"Oo, buti na lang pinayagan ako ng head manager at ni Brandon kaya nakapunta ako."sorry talaga Lord sa mga kasinungalingan ko, promise sa susunod hindi na mauulit.

"Hindi ka naman nila pinapagod sa pag tr-trabaho ano? Okay lang ba 'yung tinitirhan mo 'dun?"tanong ni Marius rason para mapatango ako.

Kung alam mo lang Marius, dinala ako ng ulupong na 'yun sa bundok!

"Oo, okay lang ako huwag kang mag alala."I mumbled.

"Sige, just please promise me that you will take good care of yourself hmm? Sigurado ka bang hindi ka uuwi sa Pinas?"tanong nito.

"I'll think about it Marius, alam mo namang may trabaho ako rito."diretsong sagot ko sa kanya kasabay ng pag hawak nito sa aking balikat.

"Okay fine, call me when you want to go home and I will fetch you right away."he said before we rose from out seats and exchange glances. Marius smiled at me as he pull me closer to his body, embracing me with his warmth.

"Ma-mimiss na naman kita,"I said tapping his back.

"I will miss you more, sige mauna na 'ko. Goodbye Yumera."he said before we bid our last farewell. Napaisip na lamang ako sa proposal nito if gusto ko bang umuwi sa Pilipinas. Siguro nga kailangan ko ng umuwi 'don pag in case may aayusin ako or para mabisita ko si Papa kahit papaano.

"Tell me about that jerk Marius,"napahawak na lamang ako sa aking dibdib dahil sa biglaang pag sulpot ni Brandon sa kung saan.

"Grabe ka gusto mo bang atakihin ako sa puso?"

"Yumera,"

"Tsaka hindi 'jerk' si Marius, he is a good guy and a good friend of mine."I muttered walking away from him, Brandon tailed behind me before he swiftly grab my hand.

"Are you mad?"

Brandon, can you please stop being so nice? Mas lalo akong nahuhulog sa'yo dahil sa mga ginagawa mong ito at hindi na ako natutuwa.

Yes, I am foolish for being a slave to my feelings especially to my growing love towards Brandon. I love the way he act like my boyfriend, the way he treat me like I am the only girl in his own little world, the way he shower me with soft and sweet kisses━━it is slowly swallowing me, engulfing my whole sense of sanity.

"I'm not mad, pagod lang ako, pwede bang umuwi na tayo?"I said as I take my hand away. I got burned by his touch when I got back to my senses.

Sometimes I got blinded by my feelings, so intense that I even forget what I have told myself. Ganun ang epekto sa akin ni Brandon. After a long drive Brandon and I returned to our cabin as I hurriedly went to our bed slamming my body on it. I was about to sleep when I felt Brandon's presence behind me.

"Are you alright? Masama ba ang pakiramdam mo?"I gathered all my courage and faced him as he suddenly wrap his arms around me and rested my cheeks towards his chest feeling his heartbeat.

"Bran, can I ask you something?"I mumbled, I've been haunted by my own thoughts ever since I learned about Shamara. Caden told me that I am free to ask Brandon about her for us to be fully open to each other. That is why I wanted to ask Brandon about Shamara even if it gives me pain by just asking.

Gusto kong mapanatag na ang aking kalooban kung kaya't kahit ayaw kong tanungin ito ay gagawin ko na. In this case, I might base my decision on his answers if he is really going to answer me truthfully.

"Yes go on,"

"Did you ever love someone? Like did you have a girlfriend before?"those bitter words escape my lips while Brandon suddenly stopped. It takes minutes before he finally respond.

"Yes, actually she's my former fiance and she's my first love. I almost had her but she fell in love with another man."he said as I clench my fist even tighter. Breath Yumera. Ginusto mo 'to.

"Do you still love her?"kung siguro may heneral na ang mga tanga ako na ang may five star sa katangahan ko. I am aware that I might hurt myself asking him this questions but I need to do it, I need it for me to step outside the line.

I need to feed myself with pain para magising ako sa kahibangan kong 'to. I don't have any courage to tell him what I feel and I don't even have the intentions to fight for it dahil naduduwag ako.

"Do I need to answer that Yumera?"he suddenly snap.

"Are you curious?"he added but I immediately tilted my head sideways.

"Hindi naman sa ganun, na-curious lang ako if may naging girlfriend ka na. What's her name? Your former fiance?"I asked again.

"Shamara Ezra Wu, actually she is the cousin of my boss. We both work in the Gitsune's same as Achilles, Caden, and Grayson."marahas akong napatingin sa kanya dahil 'don.

"Gi━Gitsune? Seryoso ka? You are also working in that empire?"I mean I didn't know that they all work in that empire. Ang alam ko lang ay si Shamara ang nag tr-trabaho 'dun gaya ng nasabi ni Marius.

"Yes bakit hindi ko pa nasabi? My brothers and I, we are all part of their empire because we are their major stockholders. Actually I am managing one of our business here in Italy kaya minsan busy ako."sagot nito.

"Did I startle you?"he added pero ngumiwi na lamang ako, I wanted to ask him more━the crucial question I wanted to ask ever since. That is why I tried my very best to utter my last question even if I can feel my hands trembling by the answers I will get. It's now or never Yumera.

"Brandon, what if ano━kase ano━"I stuttered.

"What is it?"he asked, kahit na medyo kinakabahan ako ay buong lakas akong humugot ng malalim na buntong hininga at tumingin sa kanyang mga mata.

"What if, just what if━I fall in love with you?"

And with that, everything becomes upside down.
