She ran towards her dressing room, panting. She ran as if being inside her dressing room could save her and be able to live. She ran as if her actual life is inside her dressing room. She ran as if the only oxygen there is, is inside that damn room.

She ran away from everyone.

She ran away from the clueless audiences who came to watch the taping of The Voice Teens 2 Battles. She ran away from her fans, the Popsters. She ran away from the staff who are packing up already since they're done for the day. She ran away from her glam team who were sitting with the audiences to watch the battles that just recently concluded. She ran away from her P.A.

She ran away from her fellow coaches.

She ran away from him.

She ran away as far as possible. She ran as if running away from him means lessening the pain. She ran as if it could save her aching heart.

She remembered what she said as an excuse to her fellow coaches before running away towards her dressing room.

"Ay, excuse me po, tumatawag ang asawa ko."

She smiled, that kind of please-be-convinced-that-I-am-okay smile, looked at them one by one until her gaze reached his. She saw his reaction, she didn't know if it's because of what she said or if it's because her smile's not convincing enough.

She snapped back to her present self, still running. When she noticed that she's near her door already, a door with her name plastered on it, she slowed down into a walk.

What was that all about, self?! She asked herself while her hands are placed above her chest like it would prevent her heart from running back towards the man who is, at this moment, still sitting on his red chair, chatting with their fellow coaches.

But no, she thinks it's too late to do that already. You know, guarding her chest for the possible escape of her heart, because she knew. She knew better. So, she placed her hands on her sides instead.

Such useless hands. She scoffed. She heaved a heavy breath before she used her hands to open the door. Seems like her hands are not that useless at all.

When she's finally inside her dressing room, she locked the door and exhaled. She leaned her back to the door and tilted her head upwards as she closes her eyes.

What a stressful day. At least, nakaya ko. At least I was able to hold back myself from crying in front of him. Now, they're both tied up. There's nothing they can do.

Just as she was about to sit down in one of the couches, knocks could be heard from outside her door. Someone's knocking outside her door! She immediately faced the door wide-eyed.

Who could it be? It's not him? Right?

She's very nervous as of this moment. She composed herself and readied to open the door. Alright, this is it!

She was about to open the door when someone spoke from the other side.

"Beh, 'di ka pa ba tapos mag-bihis? Iwan mo nalang 'yang damit d'yan ha? Chichibog lang kami 'dun sa malapit na restaurant, nagutom kami sa Battles kanina, nakaka-stress. H'wag ka ng mag-emote d'yan, ganyan talaga sa competition, may matatanggal talaga. Sige ha? Babalikan ko nalang dito 'yang mga ginamit mo, idadaan ko kay Bang mamaya. Ingat ka sa pag-uwi."

"Sige po, ate Ana" she replied. She released a heavy breath after, it was like not breathing for five minutes! How could she think that it would actually be him who'll run after her? He doesn't care anymore, he bluntly told her that the last time they talked, no, the last time they argued two years ago. After that, they got no communication of any sort except with their work since he had been in and out of the country after that and she, too, is a very busy Popstar Royalty. Though right now, the expression on her face can't hide the fact that she was disappointed that it was not him.
