I was staring into nothingness, thinking about what happened earlier. I can't believe it's actually Julius. Very different from what I had known before. He changed the size because if before people did not notice him because of his ugly appearance, now they are confused because of his handsome appearance. I can't wonder why people like him, because Julius is not only handsome, he also has an amazing attitude. Sean has nothing to do with Julius when it comes to struggle.

"Pssst! Pssst! I heard a hiss from not far away. I looked where the hissing stopped, that's where I saw Ate Claire. He is holding a broom and is currently cleaning outside.

"Sister Claire, you're there..."

"A while ago, I was still looking at you. What are you thinking and that seems so deep? I can't dig it!" it spoke to me.

"Nothing, Sister Claire. I just saw Mister J earlier."

He was surprised by what I said. It became interested so it approached me and sat next to me.

"Mister J? Is that Sir Sean's opponent in politics?"

"Yes Sister," I replied.

Really? So what does he look like? I heard that Mister J is so handsome that many people like him. Well, even if it's just a joke, Sir Sean will be a humble winner."

I smiled at Ate Claire's words. I think this is Sean's number 1 fun. But the battle will not end here. People are not stupid enough to not know who they will vote for. And I'm sure Sean will definitely lose. Because Julius used to be stronger. I didn't even recognize it at first, because it looked so different then compared to now.

"It's really you, Sister. You know Sir Sean e. Even though he has a bad attitude, we can still live with him because he is our boss. But if the people are the buyers, why would they vote for a person who does nothing in the town but look good. Even if they have helped a lot, it still won't be enough because what is important to people today is that they always see something being done. Sir Sean, he only acted when ordered by Madam or Gov. He did not act from his heart. It's like he doesn't have his own decision yet and everything still depends on his parents." I have a long story with Ate Claire.

"Wait a minute, why is it that if you can speak, it's like you already know who will fight against him? What if his opponent is worse? Didn't that come out just now when the polls are close?"

"Sister Claire, I'm really confused. Why did he just come out and show me? He has been gone for a long time. He is very different now, he looks different, he acts different. I'm confused..."

If I was confused, Ate Claire was even more confused by what I said. It couldn't get my questions because it didn't know that I was talking about Julius, my ex-boyfriend.

"I don't know why your questions are like that, I'm really confused by you. Sir Sean may have infected you. It's a bit of a mess to talk to...

I sighed, I didn't know how to tell Ate Claire everything. He also won't understand if I tell him what happened to me earlier. What's more painful is how long it's been gone. And now he's coming back like I don't know him. Is it because he has a girlfriend that I don't care anymore? After his girlfriend pushed me, he took off the glasses he was wearing. I was shocked at what I saw, it was confirmed that Julius was indeed the man in front of me. Even though his face became smooth and pale, I still knew him. My feelings don't lie. But I failed to talk to him because other people were in trouble there. Everyone wants to get close to shake it. That's why I was pushed away by people until Julius was completely away from me.

I would like to talk to him, but it seems very impossible. He didn't seem to recognize me because I didn't see any reaction when we met. Did our past disappear so quickly for him? Or maybe he's just pretending not to know me because I hurt him before? I don't know but I want to know the truth. I want to talk to him again so I can apologize for what I did. Even though it's too late for both of us because he already has a girlfriend.

I stopped thinking when I saw Sean coming. It came from the gym, that's why it was gone earlier. When it saw me, it approached me.

"Do you have any good news about that Mister J?" it asked.

Ate Claire quietly left when Sean arrived, leaving the two of us alone.

"When I came from San Mateo earlier. And I mingled with the people there so I could see him...

"So what happened?" it asked again.

"I met him, and saw him in person."

He frowned at me, as if he was getting impatient because I was interrupting what I was saying.

"I know him, I mean I just don't know him..."

"What do you mean?"

"He's my high school classmate." Sean was stunned for a moment. I don't know what it's thinking.

"In that case, you know the weakness of my opponent? Then do something to defeat him in the election."

I didn't expect Sean to tell me that. I was right in my mind— that doing it improperly would only benefit the enemy. It's a good thing I didn't say he was my ex-boyfriend.

Why don't you fight him properly? We don't need to know what his weakness is just to lose the election. If you deserve to win, you will win.

It laughed at what I said. Is there something funny in what I said? I was a bit annoyed by the response.

"Battle is not like that today, it's just a sport for people. When the opponent falls, I will probably win. You really don't know much, Aira... after saying this, he left me shaking his head.

Am I really the one who doesn't know? Thank you! Disgustingly I blew the wind out of the mouth.

The next day, I accompanied Ate Eva to the market. My work is still at noon so I will help Ate Eva first. We are at the market and we are buying meat. It noticed that I seemed to float while walking.

"Are you alright, Aira? Are you sick?" it asked.

"I'm fine, Sister Eva. Just a little stressed at work.

"Or why? Is Sir Sean torturing you? he asked worriedly.

"No, I'm just thinking a little too much." I can't say that I was thinking about Julius all night so I was sleep deprived.

"Are you sure you're okay? If not, just wait for me in the car and I'll do the shopping."

"Don't worry, Sister Eva. I'm fine, what are we going to buy now? Is it meat? I'll take it..." just as I was about to pick up the meat on the shelf, suddenly another hand picked it up. So I was relieved and followed the meat taker's gaze. "Ah! I was the one before that— I stopped speaking when I saw who grabbed my meat.

"Oops! So sorry! I thought there was no owner," he said to me.

I looked at the man next to me, he was wearing a cup. But because he also looked at me, I saw his face up close. I'm still blinking, maybe I'm just dreaming.

A fly almost entered my mouth when I was gaping, because of my rudeness to the person in front of me.

"Ju-julius?!" I asked in shock.

It looked at me, at first it frowned as if wondering who I was. Has he forgotten me? Is he that quick to forget?

"A-aira... right?" it asked.
