The American girl was surprised to hear that Jirah wanted to share with her a problem. Instead of declining it, she sat beside the actress and offered to open her ears to listen.
"What kind of problem? Well, I think I don't deserve to intrude into your life, but if you let me help you, it's my honor to open my mind as well as my heart to be with you."
Jirah was silent, thinking deeply about whether May could be trusted since she didn't already know her completely. However, because of the fact that their blood ran in the same race, she couldn't help but speak and share her story. The restaurant was not busy receiving customers since it was early in the morning. That was why May had enough time to listen to the shouts and words of Jirah.
After two minutes of deep thought, the actress opened the conversation with a question, "Have you loved someone?"
May smiled at once, replying, "Yeah, of course. It was a long time ago, but still fresh in my memory. Why did you ask?"
"Well, I am in a confused stage about getting to know my boyfriend's true feelings; whether he was telling lies just to comfort me or whether he had been telling the truth during his confession. Whatever the reason was, I don't think so."
"Jirah, I am not good at love, but the only thing I could advise you is to follow your heart, not your instinct. Sometimes, we were wrong to think bad things, which caused confusion for us, and so it may ruin your relationship with him. So, just stay chilled and try to go with the flow with him so that you can see brightly into the future for both of you," May said.
After a half hour of conversation, Jirah decided to go to the mall. She wanted to refresh her mind and prepare her clothes for every day's trip, so that place would be her second comfort. Upon going out of the restaurant, her and Terrence's paths crossed while they didn't notice each other. They both felt weak and wanted to recharge.
Terrence went into the dining area, where he ordered two kinds of food. It was 10 a.m., but he hadn't eaten breakfast because of the difficulty finding his girlfriend. Hence, that was the time he felt hungry, for he saw a classic restaurant that smelled good from the outside. While ordering food, the owner of the food place noticed him as the last customer who went in after Jirah's exit.
So, May approached and asked him, "Good morning, sir. What food would you like to eat?"
Terrence didn't have an interest in answering the woman's question but rather recognized the object that May held in her hands. It was a green, medium-sized purse that seemed familiar to the actor. And so, Terrence realized that the owner of that thing was his girlfriend, and he couldn't be wrong in guessing it.
Then he came up to ask, "Ahm... Ma'am. Is that your stuff?" He pointed his finger at the green purse that contained a mobile phone inside.
May glanced at the object and replied, "Ah, no. The owner of this thing is my friend. She came here earlier and accidentally left this. That's why I keep this for her whenever she decides to go back here and find her stuff. And why did you ask?"
"I think I know who your friend is referring to. She is my girlfriend. Her name is Jirah, right?" He smiled and found hope of meeting her again. He finally found the woman he had been looking for for more than four hours elsewhere."Thank goodness that she came here safely. Thank you for keeping that purse of hers. I had hoped I could talk to her about leaving my place," he added, with a joy in his face.
The woman nodded and smiled at him. There was no doubt in her face about the statements made by the man to her because she saw the sincerity and recognition of the owner of the object she was keeping.
After five hours of waiting, Jirah called her phone using a different number and tracked it for searching. She had just borrowed a mobile phone from a stranger, who volunteered to help her worry and accompanied her in tracking the device. Jirah was so worried if her phone was caught by a stubborn person since she was so careless earlier. So far, she never wanted to lose her stuff because of its value and the important contents on her phone.
Terrence couldn't answer the call from an unknown number since the actress's phone was locked. He never knew the password and only Jirah remembered it. He waited for his girlfriend inside the restaurant for hours. Luckily, the tracker helped the woman find her stuff and meet again with her boyfriend.
Upon entering, the man who appeared in her sight was her boyfriend. Then she asked him, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to give you this." Terrence handed over the green purse to the woman. And let's talk about your unexpected disappearance in my room without my permission. Come with me," he added, ordering the woman to follow him.
They entered the car, which was rented by Terrence. Jirah was so silent while her boyfriend started to drive with an angry glance at her. It was so awkward for her in that situation since she was not able to adjust herself in a relationship. The other thing was that they were both on a first-time commitment, so they didn't know how to fix a problem.
After some time, Jirah became bored as she was always glancing with fear of where they would be going. Then, she scolded the man. "Stop the car. I can't help but watch you driving so silently without noticing that I am here beside you. Are you blind, Terrence?"
Terrence stopped the car as his girlfriend had requested him to. He closed his eyes, trying to control his temper because he was afraid to say something bad about his girlfriend. However, the problem couldn't be solved if he kept silent forever. So, he decided to speak from the heart.
"I'm sorry. I am just trying to find a good environment for us to talk in. I don't want us to quarrel inside the car," his wholehearted response.
"Nonsense. I don't believe you. If you looked so mad at me, then why did you seem to control yourself to scold me?"
"Because I love you. I just want to take you home. I am not mad at you, but instead I am just concerned about you. Please don't go anywhere without me. It's dangerous," he calmly said.
It was such a smooth conversation because of the patience of the actor. Jirah couldn't continue yelling as she realized her mistakes all along. And so, when Terrence asked for an apology, she immediately accepted it. She couldn't believe how the actor treated him so lovingly that she never expected it to happen.
Their conversation became serious. They changed the topic to their plans for the upcoming days in their relationship. They agreed to open up everything about each other for better trust and security.
The actress told her boyfriend that she had a few more weeks to stay in the country for tapings and other matters related to her own play adaptation. Terrence was also called by his father's right hand to their company to fix and help rebuild it after the collapse. Jirah allowed him to temporarily separate them for personal matters. But, they also agreed upon things like being in contact with each other and always keeping each other updated on what they were doing.
