Chapter 10

He knew his eyes were only deceiving him as he seemed to notice the bitterness passing in his eyes to. He immediately turned to Dennis and this is what the interlocutor talked about during the duration of the dinner.

It was hitting two birds with one stone. He can no longer talk to Jerome, he still knows his estranged brother.

But why does he seem to like the way it takes care of him?

"I'VE met him, Kuya Top." Cheryll said to Top he was talking on the other line.

“That fast? How do you find him? ”

He rested deeply. Dennis is not the one they want to talk to but he does not know how to open up to his older brother about Jerome.

Due to the closeness of him and Kuya Top, he did not hide anything from it. It was Kuya Top who helped him forget the pain that Jerome had left behind. He met it earlier than Tita Ursula. It was because of their friendship that her dad met his mom.

“He’s kind, brother. He is very smart. Did you know he hugged me when he saw me? And no, I did not say I was his brother. When he hugged me, I felt different, eh. ”

"Are you happy?"

Not yet. "Yes."

He heard it exhale. "Next time, I hope your heart goes with your mouth when you say you are happy."

That did it. Her tears won’t stop from flowing when she heard what he had said.

"He's here, too, Kuya Top."

"Who?"

"Jerome."

It cursed one after another. “I will take you home tomorrow too. Damn it! ”

His heart protested for no apparent reason. "Don't."

“What ?!”

She rested deeply and wiped the tears from her cheeks. “I think this is the time to get the closure I didn’t get seven years ago, kuya. I want to be free from him. ”

"Is that what you really want?"

"Yes."

“Then I’m just a call away from you. Call me if you need me. Okay? ”

“Yes. I love you, Kuya Top. ”

"` Love you too, princess. "

After the call was over, he fell down on his bed. He could not accept that if Jerome smiled at him. If it acted, it would not have hurt him before. Why so? Why is he still affected by Jerome's actions?

He closes his eyes firmly. And no matter what he stopped, what happened between them seven years ago still lingered in his mind. Your event why until now he was afraid to trust and love…

“LOOK AT HER. Isn't combing her trendy? ”

Cheryll, or "Cher" to those close to her, knew that she was the one the women sitting not far from her seat here in Green Park inside the Sacred Heart Academy where she was studying. He is in his third year of the Computer Engineering course and will have to fight for another two years before graduating.

“Look at her eyeglasses! Its cheap, huh. That's my grandmother's mirror, eh. It’s so eeww. ”
