DRAKE'S POV

It's been so long since Keiryp and I met. I should probably call her to hang out. *Smirk*

(In a phone call with Jj)

Drake: Hey wassup man.

Jj: I'm good. How are you?

Drake: I'm good. Can I have Keiryp's number?

Jj: Ow. What for?

Drake: Nothing. I just want to ask her something.

Jj: You can tell me now. I will meet her in the afternoon. I can tell her.

Drake: Tsk. Uhm... Please, it's important.

Jj: Okay? Just don't fool her or anything.

Drake: Sheesh bro. I'll never do that.

Jj: Okay, I already sent it.

Drake: Thanks bro, you're the best.

(Phone calls end)

Yes! I got her number. I will ask her to hang out. I'm pretty bored here. I have no one to annoy. Frank is busy with his new series without me. *Sighs*

(In a phone call with Keiryp)

Keiryp: Hello? Who's this?

Drake: Guess who? *chuckles*

Keiryp: P'... Drake? How did you get my number?

Drake: Pretty easy. Uhm... Can I ask you something?

Keiryp: Yeah sure. Go ahead.

Drake: Can you come with me? Uhm... There's a new coffee shop near your place and I think they have a special matcha cake there.

Keiryp: uwu matcha!

Drake: *chuckles* So are you up? I'll pick you up in the afternoon.

Keiryp: Uhm... I have to go with P'Jj later. So... Can we reschedule it?

Drake: Just come and help me choose what do you think the best cake and drink there. We'll be quick.

Keiryp: Quick? Okay. I'm up for it. Just pick me up at the front of our house.

Drake: Okay... See you.

(Phone call ends)

So I took a bath right after she hang up the phone. I scrubbed every part of my body just to look clean. I shaved my mustache. I sprayed the best perfume I have. I wore a pink t-shirt and grabbed my keys. I texted her that I'm about to leave our house and then she replied "take care^^". She's very cute argh. I drove to her house and doorbells.

(In a conversation with Keiryp)

Drake: I'm already at the front of your house.

Keiryp: Just a sec.

(Phone conversation ends)

I waited for a minute and then the gate opened. She greeted me with a sweet smile. "Shall we go?" I asked. "Sure!" Then I opened my car when her phone rang. "Can I take this quick? It's my grandmother from the Philippines." She said. "Of course. I told you, I can wait for you." I said then she answered the call.

KEIRYP'S POV

I answered the call and greeted grandmother with a happy face. "Hi Grandma! How are you there?" I asked.

"Keiryp, it's your aunt Kira. Are you busy?"

"No, Aunt. What is it? And where's grandma?"

I couldn't speak any longer. I dropped my phone. My face were shocked. There are tears coming out of my eyes. My heart feels like it's tearing apart.

I cried.

Drake asked me what's wrong. I can't speak. I can't answer. All I can do is cry and feel the pain from my chest. He hugged me tight so I hugged him back. He pats my head as I cry more.

"Phi can you take me to Mamii and Papii's house?" I raised my head and asked him while crying. "Of course." He said. "I-I can't take it anymore. My heart feels like it's going to explode." I said. He grabbed my hand and puts to his chest and said, "Calm down. Whatever is it, calm your heart down. Everything will be okay. Feel my heart. Close your eyes. Breathe."



"There. There. Calm down and get inside the car. I'll take you to P'Off's house." He added then we went to Papii and Mamii's house.

JJ'S POV

Shia. I knew it. He wants to hit on Nong Keiryp. She never hugged me the way she hugged P'Drake.

Tears are coming again.

"I should call her. Maybe... Maybe she has a reason." I said to myself while wiping my tears away.

She didn't answer. I called her twice but she kept hugging P'Drake. She's now touching P'Drake's chest. Her hand... It's being hold my P'Drake.

I hate this.

I drove back to our house. My heart was broken. She didn't answer my call and she kept hugging P'Drake. I punched the wall multiple times. I hate myself from falling in love with her.

Maybe... Allison was right.

It hurts so much. I lose again. This is the first time I fell in love deeply with a girl... But why it has to be like this?

I guess... Being hurt is one of the saddest form of love.

KEIRYP'S POV

I hurriedly knocked on Mamii and Papii's house. When Papii opened it I said, "Papii" then hugged him and cried hard. "Calm down, what happened?" He said and we went to our living room. Mamii went to the kitchen to grab some water. I drank the water he gave to me and said, "My aunt just called. My grandmother passed away. She's... The one who raised me when my parents passed away. And now... now..." I cried even more. Papii and Mamii sat beside be to hug me. "Cry it all out. Papii and I is here." Mamii said.

Minutes later after I calmed down I told them that I'll visit my grandmother in few days. They agreed and will go with me. I said that they will be followed by fans everywhere and will be uncomfortable but they insisted and they used to it. I told them not to worry because Filipino Babiis are kind.

I spent that night with Papii and Mamii. I woke up at 4 A.M. so grabbed my phone and went to the kitchen to drink some water.

While drinking, I opened my phone and saw two missed calls from Jj. I called him back but he didn't answered. I bet he's sleeping so I leaved a message.

"Phi, I'm sorry for not answering your call. Something came up. Let's reschedule our date."

I went back to bed after. It's already noon when I woke up. I checked my phone and got P'Jj's response to my text.

"Yep, that "something came up" must be really important that you have to hug P'Drake."

"No, it's not what you think." I replied.

"I get it. Just don't talk to me for a while. It hurts." He replied.

"So much" he added.

And that was our last text to each other. It hurts for not being understand and not explaining your side.

Few days later, we flew to the Philippines to visit my grandmother's funeral. No one recognize Mamii and Papii so we came at my house smoothly. When we came to my house I hurriedly went to grandma's coffin to see her. I cried and cried.

The pain when you lose someone you love is unexplainable.

"I wanted to see you more than a dozen times a day but life is rough. I have to be apart from you to make our life a good one. I'm sorry if you didn't saw me until your last breath. I was a bad grandchild. You're always there for me since I was a kid until my parents died. It's unfair, I didn't get to see you in the mall picking anything you want for once. Sorry for not being with you." I said while crying.

We ate our dinner. Took a bath and slept. I couldn't sleep so I walked outside our house and sat in front of grandma's coffin. Minutes later I saw my aunt walking towards me holding a box. She gave it to me and said, "She already knew that it's her time. She... Gave me this to give it to you. She's already free from coughing non-stop. Go back to bed after." She pats my head and went back inside.

When I opened the basket I saw a knitted pouch and a letter. I opened and read it.

"To my dearest Keiryp,

I know life is tough for you. You lose your parents 4 years ago and I think by time you are reading this, you already lose me too. Don't be sad. Your parents and I are together now. We'll always be at your side no matter what happen. I'm sorry for leaving you now and didn't get a chance to see you for the last time. I made this knitted pouch when I felt it's my time. Use this to remind you that I'm always near you and that I love you. I see that OffGun must be taking good care of you so take care of them too. See you in our next life, Keiryp. Please keep me in your heart like I always do.

-Grandma"

I cried and cried until the last day of her funeral. Today, it's day that she'll be buried 6ft below. I sighed and looked at the sky.

"The heaven must be so beautiful like you so they took you. You can rest now. I miss you, Grandma."

Papii and Mamii hugged me and we went home. I took a shower and went inside my room to packed up my clothes. We'll go back to Thailand tomorrow.

PAPII OFF'S POV

"Do you think we should tell her now about the adopting papers?" I asked N'g*n.

"Not now. Let's find a perfect moment."

"Okay. Let's pack up now."

ALLISON'S POV

I was about to take a bath when my phone rang. It's an unknown caller.

"Hello? Who's this?" I asked.

"It's Jj. Can we meet?" He said. I was shocked.

"Oh... S-sure. Send me the location and time where we are going." I said.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay Phi. Take care."

OMG! Is this real? He's asking me out! I can't wait. Is this a dream? I should pick the dress I wear tomorrow. Sheesh so excited!
