chapter Two

Present Time

"Nyda!!" Gracielle, my best friend, turned her back on me.

"Beautiful! I miss you so much!" He told me and hugged me even tighter. I also miss this friend of mine so much! We've been friends since childhood

"How are you?? You look even better Nyda? How is it?" Her voice is excited and I can't stop smiling. I missed her so much and everything in here. I also lost 4 years here and I had to leave for reason

"I'm fine Gracielle what are you doing I'm excited for you! I miss you Witch!" I hugged it again and we jumped. We both came to our senses when someone honked at us

"Miss you are not allowed to hang out here!! You are there!!! You will be run over!!!!" The body guard shouted at us. We quickly picked up our luggage and went to the taxi way.

Gracielle drove me to my condo. Well, he arranged everything for me to come home here. I don't want to live with Kuya either. I don't care about that and all I hear is grunts and all I can see is his woman. I think the house is turning into a Party Club because of him. My brother couldn't do anything sane

"I designed it Nyda. I know your style.."

"Ahhhh Witch, I'm going to cry oh stop it! I really miss you so much. It doesn't matter that I'm staying here, we can go Boylet Hunting again.."

"Promise me! Let's always party people!" I nodded and we hugged.

As the night wore on, Gracielle decided to eat here. We ordered pizza chicken and something else and we played loudly.

we party the whole night and dance like no one can stop. Even if it's just the two of us together, the fun is different. The living room was a mess. When we were tired, we both lay down on the carpet

"Nyda..."

"Oh?"

"Is Tristan still the one you brought back here?" I was paused for a while.

my life there was nice. I have friends I started working and I was living my life. But every day that passes in my life I always think about Tristan. Not a day came that he didn't cleanse my heart and mind.

sometimes I close my eyes and ignore him but my feelings for him are still alive. Luke is my first love.. one sided love.. unrequited love and probably my last love. I tried to distract my self and date but nothing. I always see Luke in them.

but then he married and I needed to fix myself. I had been abroad for one year when I found out that his wife and son had died. I'm hurt for him and I really want to go back but for what else and I won't go back there either. he loves Camille and I want to know if he still loves her? Some part of me wants to hope no.

"Actually, Yes.. I want Luke back.."

"Maka I want Luke Back! Have you been?"

"It's Gracia!!! I'm here, I'm going to emote, you broke it" I got up and hit him, he laughed softly and got up from lying down

"Hopia Mani popcorn si nyda na assumera!" It rapped. wow It's really mental

"Stop it. I'm going to date him. He's single, so maybe I'm not too young in his eyes" I gasped. I can't stop worrying. What if he still doesn't want me.

"Don't flirt. Just go. Give up when you can't. It's up to you. He won't laugh at that, so don't let him shake you."

The next day, Gracielle went home and I arranged my things and cleaned. I don't like the nanny. As long as I can, I'll do it or not, my wisdom is wisdom.

When I got ready, I showered, put on makeup and got dressed. Of course you're naked, right?

I wore my Offshoulder black lace dress. It's just that I didn't grab it and just wore flat shoes.

I went to Jake's bar alone. He is the one who knows that I have gone home, well my brother knows but does he even bother.

well anyway I was welcomed by the body guard and I saw Jake near the counter where he was drinking

"Hey Jake!" I greeted him and sat on the high chairs next to him.

He smiled at me and continued to mix the squeeze lemon and I don't know wine in a glass "Is that you? where's my cutie? You're not cutie anymore.." The glass was handed to me. Wow he made a drink for me.

"She's Hot." From behind I heard Rowin's voice. Well Rowin's still handsome. Hot sexy Rowin. That's how Jake got bigger and more handsome

Rowin sat next to me, it didn't matter that I was in the middle.

"Well. Nyda. Nice to see you again." Jake said

"Oh well. I felt your lovey dovey already so stop staring at me boys." It's been a while since it's just a matter of time. well, when I was a child, I was treated more than just staring, but now I seem to have been counted.

"Luke's coming." I trembled at the voice I heard from my ears. I looked at it and it was Gab.

"Where?" I was still standing when I felt them looking at me. I saw your laugh too Gab! You leech!

"He's tired. He'll probably go tomorrow. Why haven't you moved on yet? Well, that's trendy, Nyda." Gab raised an eyebrow at the same time. I didn't answer him and continued to drink what Jake gave me

"So, how are you now? i mean do you plan to work?" Rowin

"There is, but I'm still looking. Why did you offer it to me?" I said here. He just smiled and continued drinking

"Welcome home little sister." We all turned to the voice that rumbled inside.

Tyrone my brother.

"I don't need your welcome." I glanced at him. He just grinned and sat next to Rowin.

"I still have to go somewhere." Jake said goodbye. "Just order and I'll take care of it." He said before he finally left

"Me too. I have duties.." Rowin left his seat and patted Tyron's shoulder. "I'm going to clean the bathroom." Gab said and left too.

My awkward moment with my brother was outside.

Since I left. We don't get along anymore. He also wanted me to leave and I couldn't do anything but decide to leave. I don't know but since then our brotherly relationship has been broken. When I was in California he didn't even say hello to me. And if possible he doesn't want to send me back

"Do you have a place to stay?" It spoke from the silence we were carrying

"There is." I answered this sparingly. He just tipped the wine glass and didn't say anything.

But I couldn't stand this time so I took my bag and left but

"Nyda..."

I looked at him. He was still sitting with his back to me

"No..Alright."

I still don't know what he's going to say. that's why I continued to go out.

When I got out, I stopped walking when I saw him standing in front of the bar and leaning on his car

My skipped a beat. I was frozen and couldn't move.

"Luke..."

It just stares at me and so do I. he still has the same effect on me. But everything has heightened. My feelings were magnified. I was so eager to run and hug him just like the old times but.. I couldn't.

He just smiled at me and passed me.

I followed him with my eyes.

I still love you so much Tristan...
