Andria took her time observing Enrique's mum as she talked. The woman was not so advanced in age, despite having grown ups, she looked 30. And when she spoke, especially now, Andria always felt this comfort and warmth.
"....my son loves you and I very well know you two would be good together" Andria caught the remaining part of the discussion, fidgeting at the words this time. She looked at Enrique's mum to see how serious she was, okay, that was surely not a joke.
"What makes you say that Ma?" Andria blurted, immediately regretting the sound of it
Enrique's mum smiled at the question to Andria's astonishment
" Because I've seen you both together"
Andria swallowed up, whatever that meant,it surely was no play from Enrique's Mother's part.
"Thank you Ma" Andria said, wondering how what she said related to what Enrique's mum was saying, but if it was an awkward statement, Enrique's mum did her best not to show reaction, rather she patted Andria on the back.

Finally, Enrique was back, Andria didn't know how much she missed him for those few days he was not around until she embraced him to both their astonishment.
When they dis-embraced, both already had their expressions stiffed. Andria felt stupid immediately and Enrique on the other hand was as confused as ever.
Unknowingly to them, Two persons were secretly peeking at them, Esther and her Mum.
Unable to think of anything again, Enrique held Andria by the hands, and walked straight for the room, making a comment about being happy to see her too.
The two peekers looked at each other, both already knowing what ran through the other's mind... That was weird!

Andria strolled into the garden, caressing the flowers as she walked by deep in thoughts.
She couldn't get what happened between her and Enrique since yesterday. The involuntary embrace she gave him, then the walk down the room, then the unexpected phone he gave her in form of a gift, then the awkward smiles they threw at each other, then the.....
Andria stopped for a while, wait, why was Enrique clouding her thoughts this way,she wondered. Her mind couldn't just ascertain why but her heart could...was she in love?
As if like an answer to her question, she felt a presence in front of her, she addressed the person. From the blue flip flop, to the white shorts on cute hairy calves to the blue shirt and then..Enrique
Andria gave a slight gasp as she felt her heart racing. The thoughts about Enrique had gotten her overwhelmed at his presence. She continued to stare in..shock
"Are you alright?" Enrique asked, noticing her behaviour
"Uh, yea yea"
Enrique moved closer to her and then stopped as if there was a barricade between them, he extended his hands to her hair.
Andria felt like fainting at that instant, God, what was happening to her, she watched his hands go to her hair, and retrieving them back, he had a....was that a flower he held?
