When we got to the condo I let him in first. Because he would be miserable if I just left him outside, wouldn't he? He'll just look miserable there.

"You only have a few things with you?" He asked in astonishment. "It's good that you're not like Katelyn. Maybe if she's the one here, this room will be full right away." Laughing he said.

I looked at him as he prepared food for us to eat tonight. I'll just feed him here before sending him home.

"I didn't bring all my things here. I just left the others there and bought them here." My answer. "How's Katelyn? Is she a girl?" I will ask.

"There are already lovers. But I don't just allow men to come or touch my sister. It's hard." He answered seriously.

"That's good. Nowadays, many men only chase after women—"

"Hey! Don't bother! I'm not chasing my girlfriend's body, Shiene!" He cut me off. I laughed as I approached him.

"You're too OA to react. Don't worry, no one is planning to have a relationship with you other than your girlfriend." I laughed at my teasing.

"Did you just come home here to annoy me?" He asked, looking stunned.

"No. What can I get from you if I tease you, isn't there? Will I have money?" I asked and approached the cook. "What's your girlfriend's name? Have I seen that?" I will ask.

"You haven't seen it yet. You don't live here." He replied.

I looked at him because he didn't say the name. What's that? Shall I guess? Do I look like a fortune teller? I still voodoo it, e.

"Excuse me," he said when someone called him, it looked like his girlfriend again. They seem to have something important to talk about.

Are you jealous of me? If so, he is shallow.

When I finished cooking I took a shower first. I caught Lawrence watching TV after I came out.

He was seriously watching TV so I watched too. When I didn't like what he was watching, I just went straight to the kitchen to fix it.

"Lawrence, eat now." I call.

"Yes, just a moment. The man is still watching." He shouted.

"It's only now that I'm human," I laughed.

"What do you think of 'kin?" I almost jumped when he suddenly spoke behind me. I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Dog. 'Isn't it obvious? You know you look like a dog! Come take a quick look!" I laughed and showed him the bulldog. "Oh, doesn't it? You look like—"

"Where are you. Let's eat so I can go home." Annoyed he said. I laughed looking at him.

"Even when you're picky. I thought you changed, but you still haven't." Laughing, I said spoon of dish and rice at the same time.

"And you're still a bully until now," He didn't really give up.

'I just ignored him and just ate. As he said earlier he was going home after dinner. It looks like my condo has become a cave again because it's quiet.

"Hey ... When will I have a partner here? Will I be alone for the rest of my life?" I whispered.

As Lawrence and I talked he came with me to buy his own car. Next Sunday I will enroll in a university near my condo. But if you don't have it, it's not even far away. That's why I buy a car, e.

"It's just red," Lawrence answered when asked.

"Are you sure about that? Maybe you want to change," Lawrence interjected.

"Eh, I hope you don't ask me again, do you? You'll ask me, and then you'll tell me if I'm sure. Probably, Yes. Would I choose that if I didn't?" I said. He frowned at what I said.

"As much as you said," he whispered laughing and turned his back on me. Bastos, isn't it?

When I got home, I immediately fell asleep because I was tired. I feel like I’m so tired. I almost fainted when I woke up. I saw it was 6 pm so I got up. If I sleep now, I won't be able to sleep later. I will have a harder time. I just need to shop for my equipment here in the condo.

I went down and went to the kitchen to drink some water. It's really boring when you're alone in one place. I almost jumped in panic when Lawrence suddenly called.

"Hello? Why did you get called?" I was born right away.

"Wow! It's the heat of your head right now, Insan." Laughing he said. I was given water to drink.

"Just tell me,"

"Are you bored? Mom said you should come here tomorrow. She was even angry with me because why didn't I bring you here earlier," she explained. I smiled in delight.

"You're right! I just found out that you're smart, aren't you?" I tease him.

"I've changed my mind," he said before I was killed.

"No matter when that one's really picky. Decades later he's still really like that. When will he plan to change?" I whispered. "Isn't he ashamed of his girlfriend? Or maybe he's under so that's why," I added.

Since I woke up in the afternoon, I fell asleep early. I didn't want that, eh. I was just really tired so I slept longer.

As Lawrence said he picked me up. I even teased him about why he picked me up, he almost left me. But it's okay with me because I already have my own car. I just forgot their address. It's been a long time since I last went there.

"Good morning, sir." Smiling greeting of an assistant. I smiled because it made me smile.

"Where are they Tita? Maybe you just made it up," I teased him again.

"You know, since you came home to the Philippines I've always had a bad day." Annoyed he said.

"Really, huh? I haven't seen you in a bad day, how come now?" I said laughing.

"Aish! Just go home so-"

"Shiene!" Lawrence stopped when Aunt Cynthia suddenly came and called me.

"Tita! How are you? How have you been? Are you doing alright?" I asked one question after another. I heard Lawrence whisper that he was the only one who understood.

"I'm okay, hija. That's what I should ask you. Didn't anyone hurt you there?" Tita asked while looking all over my body. "Looks like you really take care of yourself, ah? How are your siblings?" Tita asked again. I was so bitten on the lip.

Just ... Suddenly the pity I feel when I talk about my family disappears. What I don't like about everyone is talking about my family and me.

"Oh ... I'm sorry, hija. I'm just so glad you've come home to the Philippines. Why don't you just stay here with us?" Tita asked and led me into the living room.

"Uh. Not anymore, Tita. I'm okay in the condo alone. That's better and I won't be bothered." My answer.

"Lawrence, get a drink for you and Shiene," Tita ordered. I wanted to laugh because Lawrence frowned. "Are you sure about that, hija? If you change your mind you can knock on it, okay?" Tita added.

"I'm really okay, Tita. I'm fine with my condo," I insisted. He smiled still seemingly disagreeing.

Soon Lawrence arrived, accompanied by an assistant.
