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
A few hours later.It was around six in the evening, and Maureen secretly watches Hiro from the window as he gets inside his sleek silver car. She noticed that he's well-dressed and he looks so dashing with his black suit and tie.He must be going to a party, or maybe on a date.As soon as the car drives away and disappears from her sight, Maureen helplessly shook her head. She shouldn't be wasting her time on Hiro, snd she should focus more on her work.She resumes back on her work, fixing one of her patient's bed, which belongs to Grandpa Taka.However, her mind is still flying elsewhere. She feels like Hiro is avoiding her, and to be honest, she misses his joking ways and his teasing smile.She is now wondering why Hiro made a sudden 360 degrees change, and why is he suddenly giving her a cold treatment?"Did I do or say something wrong to him?" Maureen couldn't help but to wonder aloud."Is there any problem
Meanwhile.Hiro and the other members of NO Borders and the other invited special guests are all having a good time for their Thanksgiving and Victory party to celebrate the success of their newly-released album.Everyone's dancing, drinking and eating, while having the time of their life.As of the moment, Hiro and their manager are seriously having a talk about an important matter that will affect the future activities of NO Borders..."Are you sure about your decision, Hiro?" the Manager asks him in a serious manner."Yes. I've been thinking about this for a long time already. And I've told the other members about my plan as well." Hiro answers, while looking determined."I understand. But let's continue this conversation after your nationwide winter concert. But for the meantime, enjoy the party since you've all been working really hard." the Manager encourages Hiro."Alright. Thanks again, man." Hiro
Maureen can't stop her tears from falling as she still can't believe that one of her beloved patient is gone. She was just talking to Grandpa few hours ago. They shared a simple conversation about love. He was smiling, giving her advices about love, and they also shared some laughs. She thought that it was just a simple conversation that day. She also noticed that Grandpa is having a hard time to breathe, and if she only forced him to go to the hospital, he would still be alive today. She is now deeply hurting when because she lost another loved one for the second time. This pain is almost the same at the time she lost Archie. She can't help but wonder why her loved ones are disappearing. She feels so alone again... "Maureen." Maureen snaps up her head when she heard that familiar baritone voice again. She quickly wipes away her tears, and averted her eyed away from Hiro. At the same time, Hiro is watching Ma
Maureen is now at the Nursing Facility's cafeteria. She having a coffee all alone while shes deep in thought. She can still clearly remember on how Hiro comforted her at the time where she's in deep mourning and emotional because of Grandpa Lorenzo's passing.She can finally admit to herself that she is inlove with Hiro. But what is she going to do next? Would she just continue to hide her feelings and pretend that nothing happened? Or should she tell him about her feelings?She never imagined that she will fall inlove with a man like Hiro.But she is feeling a rollercoaster of different emotions because now that she can finally admit to herself that she's in love with Hiro, she's also feeling guilty because she feels like she's totally forgetting about Archie. And she's scared of what will his family think of her...Maureen lets out a deep breath, and she feels like her mind is in a constant mess. She never thought that her life can be so compli
