Alice took in the cold air surrounding her. Seeing the vibrant colors all from her view, she couldn't help but feel jealous.

"Alice? Nasaan ka? Nandito ka ba?"

Surprised, Alice answered.
"Nandito sa veranda, Love!"

Alice felt the warmth from Sheki when the latter backhugged her. Alice smiled.

"I'm sorry," Sheki apoligized.

"No. Hindi dapat ikaw ang nagso-sorry. Dapat ako dahil sobrang laki ng kasalanan ko sa'yo. Sheki... promise di na ako magtatago sa'yo," Alice replied, hugging Sheki's arms.

"Kumain ka na ba?" Sheki asked.

"Now that you mentioned it, hindi pa. Nakalimutan ko nang kumain sa dami ng nasa isip ko. Ikaw ba?"

"Hindi pa. Pero diba may in-order tayo kanina?"

"Oo nga pala. Nandiyan pa yata yun. Di naman kinuha dahil nasa loob pa naman ako ng room. Pero gusto mo order tayo ng bago or mag-buffet nalang tayo?" Alice asked.

"Mag-buffet nalang tayo. Libre mo ha? Kasalanan mo lahat ng ito, eh," Sheki joked but it somewhat made Alice a little bit sad because it was actually her fault. Sheki realized what she said when Alice became quite.

"Biro lang yun, Love. Halika na, kain na tayo. Pero di biro ang paglibre mo sa akin."

Seeing Sheki so happy made Alice happy as well. It was one of these moments that Alice would want to treasure forever. They ate to their hearts content completely forgetting about everything that has happened. Afterwhich, they explored the city. What matters is that, they are enjoying the moment. Really.

"Hay, grabe! Nag-enjoy talaga ako sa pagkain. Sobrang sarap na parang maiiyak ka na," Sheki exclaimed, the sound of the door closing followed right behind them.

"Pansin ko nga. Basta pagkain talaga ikaw ang pinaka nag-i-enjoy," Alice commented as she put her scarf on the chair.

"Kunwari ka pa. Nag-enjoy ka din naman sa date natin."

Sheki now sat on the bed of Alice's hotel room. She was looking at her taking her jacket off. Sheki smiled naughtily.

"Love..." Sheki called out seductively which made Alice pause.

"Y-yes?"Alice stuttered, swallowing a lump in her throat.

Sheki went to Alice and cupped her face. "Ang cute mo talaga."

"Actually, mas cute ka," Alice flirted back.

Holding Sheki, Alice kissed her and the former kissed her back. Alice pulled back from the kiss. "God, I missed you," she uttered, then continued to kiss Sheki without letting her speak.

As they continue to make out, clothes were shed one by one. The night was a night full of passion.

Cuddling Sheki, Alice sighed and smiled to herself. Sheki couldn't help but notice the sigh.

"What's with the deep sigh, Love?" Sheki asked while giving Alice a tighter hug.

"Wala naman. Masaya lang ako. Ang sarap pala talaga sa pakiramdam na may nasasabihan ka ng bigat ng nararamdaman mo. Patawad ulit."

"Kaya natin 'to. Nandito lang ako, Alice. Mahal na mahal kita, wag mong kalimutan yan," Sheki said.

Alice couldn't help but cry a little thinking if she deserved Sheki's love. She will get through this obstacle. She will be brave for her family. After all, she's got Sheki by her side.

Alice continued on with her medication without the public knowing. She still works her ass off on every project that is given to her. But Sheki talked her out of only doing less strenuous projects and those that do not require an overtime so that she can rest and not stress herself out. Hence, she settled with morning talk shows, some interviews and little guestings. Her concert tours became less frequent. It was hard explaining to the people why Alice was seen less often but it was more difficult to explain everything to her children.
