Sofia's POV

Dreams do come true. These past weeks, I've been recording for my first album which is crazy. I never excepted to have my own album.

I distracted myself so that I can forget about Donny.

We do talk sometimes, but not like before. He's really busy now and where he lives and I live are opposite in time which is hard really for us.

I really don't know, but now that we are far from each other, our dreams are becoming true.

I have my work, my supporters, my friends, and family. But there is something missing, kahit gaano pa ako ka saya ngayon, meron talagang kulang at hindi ko alam kung ano.

-Four Years Later-

Donny's POV

I have two weeks before the graduation, I'm going home after two months which is the last time I visited. I go home to the Philippines on spring and winter break every year.

I haven't seen Sofia for one year, because she's really busy with her career ewan ko ba wala na siyang time para sa kaibigan niya.

Kahit hindi na kami magkasama o nagkikita, i'm still in love her. Whenever we talk, I cherish every moment with her.

She lives miles and miles away from here, if I could just swim the ocean pero di ko kaya.

Today, I'm leaving Connecticut for two weeks, I'm so excited to go home.

I drove from New Haven to New York, I still have few things to get there. After visiting some stores in Times Square, I went to the airport.

I arrived just in time for the plane to go, medyo natakot akong maiwan.

The flight was good, I met a girl in the plane. She told me that she knew me, I'm quite shocked because even though I'm not in showbiz na, people still know me.

I saw Hannah and Benj outside the airport waiting for me.

"Hanot and Benj!" I shouted.

They both looked at my direction and ran to me.

"Donny!" Hannah said while hugging me.

"You better bought me a shoes." Benj said while he hugs me.

"Ofcourse I did."

We stopped by at Starbucks, and then went home immediately.

When we enter the house, I see my family, and friends. I'm really surprised.

I hugged every single one of them, I'm so happy to have them. We took pictures and eat, it's a party I could say. But I'm looking for someone na hindi dumating. Si Sofia.

I'm standing in a counter in the kitchen eating a cookie.

"Anak?" Mom said putting her hand on my back.

"Yes ma?"

"Bakit ka tulala?"

"Nothing. I'm fine."

"Kilala kita Donato, tell me."

"It's been a year, I miss Sofia. I tried to contact her but she doesn't answer. I thought she's here."

"Siguro busy lang siya, alam mo naman yung career niya ngayon. Intindihin mo na lang siya. But you know anak, there's nothing wrong with trying."

"Maybe I should visit her."

She just smiled.

The house party ended with goodbyes and hugs. It was a tiring day, but I can't stop thinking about her ewan ko ba.

Tomorrow, I'm telling her the truth. Torpe din kasi ako, labo mo Donny. It's my conscience again

6:04 am, Monday

I woke up early today, I'm in a good mood. I went to the gym with Hannah and Benj. After that we got home, and I got ready for my day.

Today. I'm visiting Sofia. But where am I going to find her?

I got an idea. I went to one of Sofia's fan accounts and check if where she is today. Gotchu.

I took the car and head straight to ABS-CBN, she must be here because based on that account, she has guesting in ABS today.

When I got there, I saw my friends like Iñigo, Julia, Alex, Robi and etc.

I asked Alex if he saw Sofia, he showed me the way.

There. I'm standing in front of a dressing room, it has Sofia's name.

I'm scared, excited and I don't know what to feel.

I see the door open a little bit, and ofcourse I hide myself on the side of the door and I took a peek.

I see a girl, it's Sofia with her beautiful smile. But wait, I see a guy. Fug.

He kissed her.

What the heck?!

This can't be happening.
