"I just want to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart, for taking good care of my grandmother. I really don't know how to thank you..." Hiro spoke again, while smiling. "Oh, your thank you is already enough for me. I hope you don't mind, but can I ask you a favor?" Maureen suddenly relayed. Meanwhile, Hiro was staring intently towards Maureen because he feels like he has seen her somewhere. He can't really pinpoint on when and where did he see her, but he's certain that he met this woman before... "Sir, are you alright?" Hiro tries his best to focus his attention towards the woman. He'll just have to remember when and where did he meet this woman later on... "I'm sorry, but don't worry, I can still remember what you said awhile ago... You said that you have a favor to ask me? What is it? You can tell me anything as long as I can do i
"You're really interesting and amusing, Maureen." Hiro said, while grinning from ear to ear. "Stop grinning like an idiot! Anyway, I just came here to deliver Grandma's newly-washed clothes. And you should do a great job on taking care of her! I'm watching your every move!" Maureen was about to march outside the room when Hiro suddenly calls her name again. "Maureen." She wheeled around to look at him. She saw him smiling at her, as his eyes sparkled in amusement. "Thank you so much for everything, Maureen. My grandmother and I owe you so much." Hiro sincerely thanks her. "I'm doing all of these for Grandma Bien and not for you." Maureen answered in return. Afterwards, she quickly made her exit. Meanwhile, Hiro can't seem to erase the smile on his face while thinking about Maureen. He turned to
"Yes. I guess you could say that... By the way, are you ready to go home, Auntie?" Maureen said, as she abruptly changes the subject."Yes, I can't wait to go home, dear. We have to go now, Hiro. Have a great evening and see you again tomorrow, okay?" Aunt Felice said goodbye to Hiro. "Be careful on you way home. Have a great night and see you tomorrow Nurse Felice.. And Maureen." Hiro said, while staring at Maureen without almost blinking.While Aunt Felice and Maureen are walking away, her Aunt asked her a question rightaway."What was that all about? Why you and Hiro looked so awkward awhile ago?" Aunt Felice bombarded Maureen with questions."It's nothing, Auntie. We were just talking about Grandma Bien." replied Maureen.Felice didn't dare ask her niece some questions again because she knows that Maureen won't give her straight answer
Hiro has been walking back and forth while his grandmother is watching a show on the television as she is sitting on her wicker chair.He has been feeling antsy the whole morning, and it's only afternoon but he hasn't seen Maureen yet. She is missing in action, and her absence makes him anxious and impatient. "Is there a problem, dear? You've beem walking back and forth. You look so restless." Grandma Bien asked him, while frowning.Hiro forced an airy smile towards his grandmother."Oh, it's nothing, grandma..." he responded.Half of his mind is saying that the only reason why he's looking for Maureen is because of his grandmother. But the other part of his mind is also saying that the reason why he can't get Maureen out of his head is because he is starting to feel something specialabout her...Hiro snaps out from his reverie when he heard Grandma Bien's voice again."Oh, alright then. If that's what you say..."
Hiro snaps out from his reverie when he heard Liberty's voice again."You'll just go with the flow? Yes, you can do that, but you can't keep on running away from him forever..." Liberty stated, while looking serious.Hiro's frown deepens after hearing Liberty's remark."Go with the flow?! What the hell does she mean by that? Does it mean that she will continue to date that---that guy whoever the hell he is?!" he frantically asks himself. "---Alright, then. It's all up to you, my dear friend. Let's talk more once you come back to work. Okay, I'll see you the day after tomorrow. Bye!" Liberty finally said goodbye to Maureen.============================It was already past midnight, but Hiro still couldn't sleep. He tried his damn well to make himself fall asleep but it was a total failure.He couldn't sleep because he's been thinking of Maureen. Just the thought of her dating someone else makes him feel miserable.
At the same time, the man who's sitting on table 18 continues to observe Maureen and the man that she is talking to.They both look like they are having a good time while eating cakes and drinking coffee, and he feels sorry for Hiro.Adam decided to bring out his phone to call Hiro and tell him what is going on... But he suddenly stops himself. "Maybe I'm interfering too much? This is Hiro's private affair after all!” he wondered to himself.But he can't bear to see Hiro to just wait on the sidelines for Maureen. He feels like he needs to give his hood friend a gentle push to pursue the woman that he likes..."What the heck, let's do this." Adam finally decided. He dialled Hiro's number and waited for him to answer the call."Hello?" Adam heard Hiro's voice from the other line."Hey, man. How are you and Grandma Bien?" he asked hid friend."We're both doing great. Wait, where are you? Why is it s
“Achoo!"Hiro suddenly sneezed while he is at the cafeteria, drinking a can of coffee. His grandmother had been asleep for awhile, but he doesn't feel sleepy at all.He's been restless for the passed few weeks. He is absolutely sure that it's not because of his work because he is used to working with erratic schedules. He's been in the entertainment industry for decades now...And he can finally admit that it was something else. It's no one else but Maureen..."Where is she right now? What is she doing? Who is she with?" Hiro wondered to himself.His train of thoughts stops in a halt when her phone suddenly vibrated. He saw his Manager's name, Adam, on the caller screen."Hey, Adam. What's up?" Hiro quickly answers the phone."Where are you, man?" Adam asks from the other line."I'm at the nursing facility. I'm having coffee at the cafeteria." responded Hiro."Well, I'm currently at the hallway at the n
Hiro decided to go jogging first thing in the morning.He is now making his way back to the Nursing Home. While he is making his way back, his mind is filled with Maureen and the photo that he saw yesterday. There are many questions floating in his mind.Who is that mysterious man? What are they talking about? And last but not the least, what does Maureen feel towards her date?"I think I'm going crazy because of you, Maureen!" Hiro whispered, while getting more and more frustrated. He's about to reach the entrance gate of the nursing facility, when he suddenly stopped because he saw Maureen there. "Good morning, Maureen!"Maureen stops on her tracks when she heard someone calling her. She saw Hiro walking towards her. It was clear that he went on jogging as he looks sweaty, but he still looks handsome... She froze on her tracks, while feeling shocked."Hold on for a minute... And since wh
