JOANABE (JOENABELL POV) I get up from the bed while busy thinking about my phone. I might have fallen asleep thinking too much of the item. **CREAKS**I hear the door open, and I look at the person entering the room.  "How's your sleep?" Leonel asks charmingly, such a dear man. I sigh heavily, looking troubled. "Uhh... Great!" I am not sure if my sleep is good or bad, but one thing is clear to me I did not have any nightmares. Thank goodness! "That's great! Do you perhaps have plans for today?" Leonel looks at me with puppy eyes while closing the door behind him. Then, he walks to me.  "YES! I am searching for my cellphone," I inform him about my phone because I need it today.I can perceive his hand snakes in my waist to hold my body.*WHAT'S UP WITH HIM AND ME?*I wonder these days I've been feeling light beside him as

THIRD PERSON POV Leonel force Joenabell to walk with him outside for relaxation. Joenabell wants to protest, but she can't seem to do as her heart wants to be with him.  They walk together, holding hands while swinging it from back and front. Mrs. Yvonne Relish spots the two with a joyful smile on their faces. Mrs. Relish thought at first that they are just making fun of each other. But when her eyes land on their hands. It is clear to her that something good might happen to them.  She smiles while watching them from afar. "Looks like they are in love," Mr. Relish walks to his wife while speaking to her softly. Mrs. Relish looks at her husband. "Their eyes are the same the way we look at each other, don't you agree, love?" Mr. Relish chuckles at his comment making his wife blush at his sound.  "Don't you think they will be fine?" She asks her h

JOANABE (JOENABELL) POV His heartfelt confession leaves me no question. The place makes it even more perfect. His eyes stare at mine, which convinces me to give myself a chance to fall in love again. I want to fall in love at the right time. But is it the right time? The right person? Our hands are entangled, and I did not recognize that it teaches me something- "Leonel... I am certain that I am learning to love you," I hesitantly speak as I do not wish to hurt his heart by my words. "It is fine... I told you we are taking things slow. Let me ask you, do you know what's the greatest love of all?" Leonel sits beside me in the pew as I move to give him enough space. I smile because I know the answer to his question. I put my head in his shoulder as I answer, "Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all." He nods and touches my head on his shoulder gently. "You are right..

JOANABE (JOENABELL) POV The clouds turn to grey as thunderclaps are roaring from the sky. A drop of water touches my cheeks as I lift my head in the sky. It starts to drizzle then, Leonel quickly grabs my hand that catches my attention back at him to lead me back to the souvenir store.  We dash as it starts to rain heavily. I thought we are heading to the souvenir store, but we ended up in the tower. I hug myself as the wind blows chilly in my skin. Leonel hangs his hand on my shoulder and pulls me closer to him. I think he notices that I am feeling cold.  "Sorry, I did not have a coat to keep you warm," Leonel says as his finger runs in my wet hair. "You don't have to worry about it. We did not even bother to take a bath today and change our clothes." I remind him, and I chuckle because his parents did not even notice our appearance.  "I mean, our clothes are not

THIRD PERSON POV "Joanabe?"  "Joanabe?"  The familiar voice calls for her in a deepwater dream that suffocating her. Her eyes dull, and her skin feels cold as she can't move a single muscle.  'WHO IS THIS?' she asks herself. "JOANABE!" The man screams at her name. Then, the man pulls her out of the water within seconds. She coughs while she gasps for air.  Joanabe is surprised by the man who saved her hopeless state. "You look familiar." Her eyes slowly regain its clear sight.  "I think I saw you in my dreams before... Who are you?" She tells the man in a weak voice as she tries to examine.  The darkness of the place is what she notices. "AM I DREAMING?" Joanabe can't see the man's face in the darkness, but she feels his touch. They are cold like icy, and

THIRD PERSON POVYears have passed. Joanabe travels to different places. She hopes to bump her mother around the streets accidentally. She sits on a bench facing the family park as she used before. She gets lost in her thoughts, and her face is like daydreaming.  "Excuse me, Miss. May I sit beside you?" An innocent angel with freckles on her cheeks asks humbly to Joanabe. Her thoughts suddenly stop to give the girl her attention.  She snickers, "yes, you may take a seat."  The little girls hop on the bench as she hums a song in herself. Joanabe can't stop staring at the girl, and she tries to open a conversation, "where are your parents?" The girl gets startled, and she pouts, "they left me. My aunt raises me."  Joanabe feels sorry for the girl, thinking that the little girl did not deserve to be left alone under her aunt's care. Funnily, she realizes t
