"Auntie, could you give me more time to think about it?"
"Alright, Maureen. But I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. And this is for your own good." her Auntie stated."Thanks. I'll give you a call. Kiss and hug my cousins for me, okay?" answered Maureen."I will. Your cousins misses you too. Could you please pass the phone to your father? I need to talk to him about something." Auntie Felice said.Maureen passes the phone back to her father. Afterwards, she went to the kitchen and puts the box of cake inside the refrigerator. She then decided to go to her room to take a nap...=============================After some time...Maureen looked at the whole place in wonder. She doesn't have any idea why she's back at the beach house where Archie passed away exactly a year ago...Maureen continues on walking by the seashore. The sound of the waves sends calming powers towards her whole body, and evHimawari Nursing Home.Hiro stopped the car at the parking lot of the Himawari Nursing Home. He excitedly walks inside the hall while holding a bunch of sunflowers which is his grandmother's favorite flowers."Hello there, Hiro!"He was greeted by the Chief Nurse of the facility. They have been good friends, and he is really thankful because of the love and care that she gives to all of the residents at the Nursing Home. "Hello, Aunt Felice. How have you been?" Hiro smilingly greeted her."I'm doing good... How about you? Aren't you going to be busy with your upcoming concert tour?""Well, before I get busy, I decided to visit my special someone... Where's my grandma?" Hiro smilingly asks for his grandmother. "She's taking her nap, son." Nurse Feliza responded. "Oh, she's in her room, reading her favorite book as always." the Chief Nurse answered.After having a quick conversation with the Head Nurs
The next day. All the members of NO Borders are inside the rehearsal studio. They are busy practicing their dance moves for for their upcoming concert."Okay, let's finish the first half of our rehearsals! It's time for lunch!" their manager, Adam, finally announced.All the members did a high-five after they heard their manager. “Alright!” Toru happily chirped."What's for lunch, Adam?" Kei curiously asked.“I ordered your lunch food from your favorite restaurant.” Adam responded.While the other people are having an enjoyable chat with each other, Hiro is quietly resting at the corner. He took a big gulp from his bottled water, then he started wiping his sweat."Is there something wrong, Hiro?" Jun, one of his team member, suddenly approaches him. "I'm okay... Why do you ask?" Hir
After Aunt Felice introduced Maureen to all the staff of Himawari Nursing Home at their morning meeting, Maureen is walking behind her Aunt to meet her very first patient. Maureen is feeling a bit nervous, but she's excited at the same time."Are you nervous?" her Aunt asked."Just a little bit, but I'm looking forward to meet my patients." answered Maureen."I understand. But don't worry, you'll get used to everything sooner or later." her Aunt reassures her.They reached a certain room, and they saw an old woman who was sitting on her bed while looking outside the window."She's Grandma Bien, and she has a dementia. She's been in the Nursing Home for more than three years. She's quiet most of the time, but she gets emotional when she remembers her grandson." Aunt Felice explains the patient's condition.Both of them all went towards the old woman and greeted
They can already see the sunrise but the rehearsals for NO Border's concert is not yet over. The staff and crew are still having a meeting and they are discussing every details of their upcoming concert. "We have to give our fans a concert that they will never forget. We need to have an interaction with them, and at the same time, give them wonderful memories that they won't be able to forget for the rest of their lives." Hiro, the group's leader, started relaying his vision for the live concert. "I couldn't agree more. Just think about this... They bought your tickets because they want to sing and dance with you in one space. So that's why we have to give them something that they can cherish for a very long time." their concert director nodded in return. The other members nodded in agreement. Each members were asked for their own individual concepts, as they also tried to combine them togeth
"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
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
