Elle and Jiolo thought that they were both sent from the heavens to protect each other. To be heroes from the sky of one another. The two were inseparable. They were like partners for life. But what happens if what they thought weren't right after a...

I got lost in my train of thought when my phone rang. Kinuha ko iyon para tignan sino ang tumawag.
My love, Jiolo is calling...
I heaved in a deep breath before swiping right.
"Hello?"
"Love? Thank God you picked up! I heard what happened and I'm on my way to your condo. Wait for me. I'm with Chie."
"What?"
"You... didn't do it, right?"
I didn't answer him.
"Right, love?"
"Are you... suspecting me?"
"What? Of course not! I just want to hear straight from you, that you didn't do it!"
Ewan pero kumirot ang aking puso. Thinking about Jiolo suspecting me hurts like hell. I know this isn't the first time but damn... how can he even think of me cheating?
"Don't come here..."
"Elle, please..."
"I said don't, Jiolo. I don't want to see you."
And with that I ended the call. Sinandal ko ang ulit aking katawan sa sofa at pumikit.
"Elle..." I heard Alexina's worried tone.
"Not now, Alex. I don't want to deal with Jiolo. Alam ko mali ang ginawa ko pero nasaktan ako sa sinabe niya. I sound immature and pathetic but let me be for once. Pagod na pagod na ako..."
I heard her sigh. "Alright then. You should rest and go to sleep. I'll wake you up once I'm done cooking lunch."
I nodded and opened my eyes.
"Thank you..."
"No biggie! Pumunta ka na sa kwarto mo."
Tumango ako at sinunod ang sinabe niya. I went to my bed, exhausted. Kalahati pa ng araw pero pagod na ako.
I woke up and the sun was already setting. Lumabas ako sa aking kwarto at pumunta sa dining table. There was a note written by Alexina for me.
Ma, I didn't bother waking you up na since ang himbing ng tulog mo at alam ko kailangan mo yun kaya I'm writing this note nalang
I cooked you lunch and prepared some snacks. Eat them when you wake up! I have to go now, my class na ako!
P.S. whatever you'll go through, we're always here for you
Napangiti ako. I opened the bento box she prepared for me. There was a scrambled egg, bacon, fried rice and a camote cue. I sat down and ate them. As I was chewing my food, I looked to my left said. The sky is in a mixture of pink, orange and yellow. It was beautiful to see. I stared at it until it went dark. Tinapos ko na ang aking pagkain at nag hugas ng pinggan. After that, I was supposed to check my phone when the doorbell rang.
