"I appreciate that. Thank you." Hiro sincerely smiled at her. "Oh, I have to go now. I'll just call someone to put an extra bed in Grandma Bien's room." Nurse Felice relayed.Nurse Felice gave Grandma Bien one last look, then afterwards, she left the room.Hiro then pulled a chair beside his grandma's bed and sat on it. He gently touched his grandma's hand. "I'm finally here, Gran. And I'm sorry for leaving you alone for a long time. Don't worry, I'll stay with you for a few days, and I will try to make up to you." Hiro gently whispers.He also promised to himself that he will talk to Maureen to personally thank her for being his grandmother's carer and her bestfriend as well.And before he knows it, drifted into a deep sleep because he was so tired. But he still didn't let go of his grandma's hand... ===========================<
"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
Jason nodded in return, thinking that Clarissa still has the right to know what happened to Edward and Victoria. "Don't worry too much about them.As far as I know,Edward is now the official choreographer in the entertainment industry ,and Victoria is now a dance instructor at a prestigious dance school.But let's not waste anymore time, Clarissa. This time let's talk about us." Jason abruptly changes the subject. Clarissa bit her lip, while looking at Jason. He is right.They need to talk about them, and put a closure between them so that they can finally move on with their lives... "You're right. We need to talk about the two of us. Tell me right now that you have someone special, or you're engaged, or if you're already married." Clarissa felt the pain in her heart after saying all of those things. Jason's brows met in a frown while looking at Clarissa with a puzzled expression on his face
Back at the hotel..."I can't believe he ignored me just like that! And it actually hurts like hell!" Clarissa continued on crying like a banshee while drinking wine with Jessica."I can totally understand your feelings, Clarissa. You know what, you can cry and drink all you want for tonight but starting tomorrow, you'll start moving on with your life, okay?" said Jessica."That's easier said than done, Jess! You just don't have any idea how I kept him in my heart for the passed years! Oh, maybe I'll die loving him!" Clarissa continues to wail her heart out.Eventhough Clarissa tried to stay professional throughout the show, but she hurting deep inside.Jason really changed, and he became like a stone... With no emotions.Jason didn't bother to talk to her from the beginning until the end of the show. Jessica was about to say something but she wasn't able to do
Clarissa is currently doing the new choreography for her job. She was contracted by a famous male pop singer to choreograph dance moves for the artist's latest music video."Clarissa, we got some mails!" her Manager, Jessica suddenly appeared at the practice room. She laid the letters on the nearby table.Thanks, Jessie." Clarissa thanked her.She decided to take a break for a few minutes because she has been dancing for three hours. She looked at the letters one by one.Some of them are from her fans, and some of them are from her students and her co-workers.One particular letter suddenly caught her attention.It was sent from Tokyo, Japan. She quickly opened the letter to read it."Clarissa, are you alright?" Jessica asked her.Clarissa was in utter shock after she read the letter. She wasn't able to speak for a few minutes. But once she recovers from her
Two Years Later.New York, New York.Clarissa almost jumped out from her seat when she felt something cold from her cheeks. She quickly glances back, and she rolled her eyes heavenward when she saw Aiden, her classmate at the New York Dance School chuckling, while holding cold cans of soda."Aiden, don't scare me like that! You almost gave me a heart attack!" she smilingly reprimanded him."Sorry about that, sweetheart." Aiden apologized, while still chuckling."That was really funny to you, huh?" Clarissa sarcastically spat at him."Alright, peace. Take this as my peace offering." Aiden tries to console her, as he gives her one can of soda."Thanks." Clarissa thanked him.She popped open the soda can and drank the refreshing drink. Afterwards, she turned her attention back to Aiden."By the way, what are you doing here?" she curiously asks him.
Clarissa is lying on her bed while staring at the ticket for NO Border's concert tomorrow. Part of her brain is telling her not to go so that she can forget about Jason, but her heart is telling her a different thing. Her heart is telling her to go to the concert, and see Jason one last time.She wearily sighed. Looks like she won't be able to sleep tonight...======================The night of the concert came.Clarissa is sitting in one of the many chairs inside the Grand Dome. She's happy to see that the place is packed with people, and she is so proud for NO Borders.She's 100% sure that the concert will be successful.Clarissa snaps out from her reverie when when the lights suddenly went out, and the concert is about to start.After a few seconds all of the members of NO Borders appeared onstage...Her heart is overwhelmed with so much e
Jason eyes immediately searched for Clarissa as soon as he steps onstage. He anxiously looks for her and he couldn't see her from the crowd of dancers..."Alright, guys! Gather up! I have a very important and serious announcement to make." their choreographer suddenly called for their attention.As soon as everyone has gathered, Jun spoke again."As you all know, the NO Borders' concert will start tomorrow, and this will be our last rehearsals. For the passed few days we had a problem and because of that our Big Boss decided to --- permanently remove ai Clarissa as one of the back-up dancers.That's why we decided that for Jason's partner for his solo performance, she will be replaced by Victoria." he pronounced.Everyone was obviously shocked after they heard the announcement."Is it because of the scandal?" Edward bravely asked Jun.Somehow, he was still worried about Clarissa.
Victoria wasn't able to answer because she was taken back by Jason's calm demeanor."Everyone, please calm down. For the meantime we need to concentrate on the rehearsals first. We only have a week before the concert starts, that's why we can't afford to waste anymore time." Nick calmed everyone down."Nick is right. That's why I want you all to do series of warm ups and afterwards, we'll start with the rehearsals, okay?" their choreographer announced as well.All of them didn't have a choice but to follow their choreographer's orders.Meanwhile, Clarissa secretly watches Jason. It was obvious on his face that she is affected by the scandal that appeared on the newspaper, and she feels like it's all her fault...She decided to talk to Jason later and apologize to him...=========================Clarissa is standing by the door, which was NO Borders' private room. Her heart is
At a certain fastfood restaurant..."I'm really going into a monster-mode right now! Even if Edward doesn't say anything, he still cares about that bitch!" Victoria angrily muttered, as she slams her fists on the table.The other customers at the restaurant stared at her in surprise, but she doesn't give a damn about them. She is now raging in anger because she knows that her boyfriend still cares for his ex-girlfriend. She needs to do something that will destroy Clarissa!"---I just need to dig up some dirt or scandal to any members of the NO Borders, and I know our magazine will sell like hotcakes, again... I'm just waiting for a big break."Victoria snaps out from her reverie when she heard the old man's voice, who was sitting at the nearby table. He was talking to someone over the phone. She decided to listen to the old man."----I've been monitoring them for a month, and I followed th
Every female dancer starts to get excited after they heard Jun's announcement.Being able to be picked is a huge advantage and they can have an exposure...On the one hand, Clarissa is not too hopeful because it is obvious that Victoria will be chosen. As a professional dancer, she will not harbor any resentment towards Victoria if ever she was picked. She can clearly admit that she is the best dancer in their group.Meanwhile, Victoria gave out a big smile to everyone because she's absolutely sure that she will be personally picked by their choreographer."And now, I'm going to formally announce the dancer who will dance with Jason for his solo performance... We decided to pick Clarissa this time, and it was an unanimous decision." Jun suddenly announced.Clarissa held her breath in shock after they called her name. She can't believe that she was chosen! It was obvious that everyone is expecti
