Chapter 5 Episode 3.1

"She told me to just stay here so that you can find where we are right away," she excused again. She was still crouched on the ground as a candle seemed to be lit in front of Doña Felicia.

"Is that so. Fine, go ahead ... let's wait for her. My God, please don't lose Sofia in this market!" She was crossed heavily all over her body in remembrance.

Selin held Doña's hand which was now trembling with fear.

"'Don't worry, Doña Felicia. I believe that Señora Sofia can return safely," Selin calmed down the Doña she was talking to who was just opposite her.

"Señorita Sofia, hurry up because your mother is here!" Selin whispered to herself something that reached her boss's keen hearing.

"Are you saying something, Selin?" Dona asked. He waved his left hand. "Ahh ... I said let's just wait for Señorita Sofia." She was restless, lying on top of each other to cover up her boss. Because of this, she would go to confession to ask God's forgiveness when all was well.

"HELLO, my little Sofia. I'm glad to see your beauty again. Your lips are sweet when you smile and your eyes captivates every time I look at you." Sofia blushed at what Felipe had said.

"I'm fine, Felipe. Living well here in San Lucas." Sofia smiled. "You, how are you?" he continued. "I'm fine, Sofia. That ... I will soon get the certificate to become an official dentist."

"I'm glad you're pursuing your dream of becoming a Dentist!" Sofia smiled.

"You still remember that ... of course!" Felipe smiled. "And why can I forget your dream. We always talked about that when we were kids," Sofia insisted while smiling. She also smiled.

Felipe stared at the bracelet Sofia was wearing. "Do you know why I gave that to you when we were kids?" Sofia glanced at the bracelet she was wearing. "No ... Why is that?"

"Because I want to, someday I'll see you again with that bracelet." Sofia did not think that such a thing would prove their togetherness as children. She used to love to wear that bracelet in memory of Felipe but now she can't believe that the man she admires is in front of her.

"When did you get back to San Lucas?" variation of Sofia's conversation. He couldn't bear to watch Felipe because her cheek was starting to heat up.

"In fact of that ..." Her trembling spirit was suddenly replaced by intense fear.

"Why? Don't tell me you ran away?" Sofia asked incredulously.

Felipe giggled. "No! Not like that ... I mean, I just came home from Manila to take a vacation for our upcoming exam that will take place in November of this year. He picked me up at the port of San Lucas this morning." She calmed down a little because her inference was wrong.

"Why did you go home when you haven't got your certificate yet?"

Felipe's face went down. "Why ... my father told me that she would arrange for me to marry ..." Unexpectedly, her heartbeat suddenly quickened, he hoped that she would be the woman to marry Philip.

"To whom?"

Heaven and earth seemed to fall on Felipe's face. He even rested deeply and held him by the forehead.

"Honestly ... I am not ready to say yet, but I will leave a mark ... the woman who is destined to marry me is someone close to our family. She is an extraordinary young lady who is ready to wait for a gentleman when he returns," said Felipe.

"I'm nervous about you, Felipe! Why did you feel that way before!" Felipe laughed. "I'm sorry Sofia if I scared you!" said Felipe while laughing weakly.

"Why did you end up in the market earlier?" Sofia's conversation changed again.

"I left the port ... I told my father that he would go first and I would just go around San Lucas first. Honestly, I noticed you sitting on a tall tree earlier in a market row but I was scared again ... I was scared that you might not know me anymore ... every time I see you ... I get scared! I'm heartbroken because I can't laugh at my admiration for you!" Various emotions prevailed in their conversation. Now a tear fell in Felipe's eyes.

Sofia was shocked by what Felipe said. She? Did Felipe her youth, have an admiration for her? It seems to shine the whole vicinity. This is what she has been dreaming of Felipe telling her!

"'Don't be afraid, Felipe. You can do it! I love you too, so don't worry." Felipe suddenly hugged Sofia. The Señor caressed the back of her dearly friend.

"Forgive me, ah. Let me, I can also shout at the word I love you." Maybe Felipe was just numb to Sofia so the young man could not form the girl.

"You're so stupid!" Sofia teases the young man.

"Yes, I admit!" Sofia laughed softly when the young man confessed to her.

"Let's ask, do you have another lady you admire in Manila?" Felipe grinned.

"I can't deny that I have seen many beauties in Manila but none of them can surpass your character. I tried but I will never forget the trace of your love here in my heart."

Sofia blushed at what the young man had said to her. "You are still a bolero! How sweet your tongue is ... even if you sprinkle it with salt, it's still sweet! Immigration just makes your tongue sweeter." Sofia covered her smiling lips.

"It's a sign ... that you will never be lost in my memory!" The young man smiled at him.

She noticed the warming surroundings. She discarded his granular sweat on her forehead that would at any moment drip. Why is it so hot!

Suddenly her mother crossed his mind. "Ahh ... I-I'm sorry but I-I need to go back! I'm worried that my mother will scold me when I'm not with my doncella!" she was still stammering.

"Be careful, my Sofia ... I hope we will meet again soon ... you can count on me wherever I go ... I will cherish your memory ... the sweet memory will take care of me. Goodbye ... I-I love you! "

Compassionate heaven! Sofia couldn't stand the thrill she was feeling so she didn't realize that she was smiling completely at the young man in front of her.

"Be careful too, my dear Felipe! I hope we meet again!" Felipe smiled. The two stared at each other for a while, they were only apart in half a shoulder inch.

Felipe gently touched the girl's cheek while staring into her eyes. Soon ... their faces came closer and closer and their lips were about to touch each other.

Felipe closed his eyes and at any moment he could kiss his girl for the first time.

"W-Wait, Felipe!" He opened his eyes unexpectedly, he noticed the girl's meaningful look in his puffy eyes.

"Sorry for what I've done! I shouldn't have done that, I know you're not ready yet!" But in Sofia's heart she was really driven by nervousness.

"That's okay! All right, goodbye!" Sofia smiled. Felipe nodded and smiled before the girl turned her back on him.
