CHAPTER ᶠᵒᵘʳ

Mark Took the next plane back to his home.

he wants to go back home and Focus on living his life and finding something else
more worth it.

But for now he wasn't focusing on finding someone to love but he wants to focus on something more important which is working to get enough money to go home to his province with his parents.

As Mark returned back to his condo he took a nap for a few hours and went back to work.

As he returns to work he saw mika on the door step sitting down looking up the sky. Like she was from crying or something.

As he calls out her name he saw the face of MIKA, she was crying.

''Mika? Are you okay?'' Mark asks approaching mika. Mika then runs towards mark then embraces him warmly and said, ''Mark my parents''
'' What happened?'' mark asks hugging her back.

''their leaving me'' she said still in the pit of crying. ''Why would they leave you?'' He Interrogated while fixing her hair behind her ears. Mika faces mark and gazed at his beautiful dark eyes holding something like a secret but she really can't tell.  ''They're in the hospital, My dad is in coma same as my mother and the doctor said there's a possibility they can't survive.'' Mika explains catching her breath from crying. ''Don't think to much, they will be fine.'' Mark reassures smiling, then they embraced each other again. The wind was calm and the surrounding was clean and was very peaceful that changed the awkward situation between mark and mika .

'Mark and mika were currently sitting in a bench in the park, just talking and mark shared about what happened to athena and him which shocked mika. Mika felt thrilled that mark was single and no longer focused with any other girl.

Mika knows she was too young to be with a man way to far from her age, and that is the border line between the both of them. THEIR AGE.

They both laughed and enjoyed each others company while they were just communicating as friends. Mika was caught off guard when Mark was staring at her with those eyes that can make anyone be attacked. Mark stared at mika while mika was eating their dessert, Mark wanted to let her know they were just friends and thats all, mark wanted to focus on himself for now and not be disturbed by anyone. Well he wasn't technically saying he was bothered by mika but he was afraid of....

afraid of falling for a girl like her who was outgoing and humorous, pretty, kind, sweet and everything but she was too young.

He was just in fear that he might long for the girl like what he felt for athena.

He has to stop this and just clear the fact that they were really just friends.

but he can't gather the courage yet.

he needs time
