CAMERON had just finished his first meeting that day but he was already feeling exhausted. Seemed like his body still missed his vacation. But if he didn’t return to work, his mother would set him up again to countless women. That is not his priority right now.
He was reviewing the report sent by the department heads when his cellphone rang. "Hello!"
“Eron, about Mitos…”
He got worried when Shei burst into tears. “Calm down! What happened to Mitos? ”
“H-he had a seizure. It was as if he was dying. What will I do? I thought he would get well soon enough. That he would wake up. Why is it like this?"
Cameron touched his forehead. “Let the doctors handle it. Everything will be okay. ”
He thought Mitos' would be able to return to the Philippines fast enough the moment he woke up. That he would be able to see Love and atone for his mistakes. But things are getting worse right now.
“The doctors can not give any guarantee. Mitos may not recover.”
“No, Shei! Tell him he needs to get better. He needs to get back Love. She needs him.” It was the only chance Mitos had to make it up to Love. He needed to correct all the mistakes that he made for her.
Shei's sobs subsided. “Tell that woman, Mitos may never come back. If only I could do something. ”
“For now, stay with Mitos. Keep me updated. ”
He slammed his hand on the table in frustration. Just when he thought everything would be okay, Mitos' situation worsened. He remembered what Mitos had said before they escaped the island. He needed to Love what Mitos wanted her to know. Mitos might be feeling that it was getting impossible for him to see Love again.
His assistant Marvin entered his office while he was deep in thought. "Sir, Lovellia will perform tomorrow at the Sky Garden."
"Good!" Sky Garden was his favorite restaurant and was owned by his friend Avondale. It has a lot of customers during lunch time and they would surely appreciate Love’s talent. She recommended Love to
Avondale, even if he had to pay for her talent fee himself.
Love was taking on two jobs at a time. It could only mean she desperately needed money. This was his own way of helping her out even a little.
“The flowers that will be sent to her were also settled. We'll just instruct the waiter who will deliver the flowers to her that it was sent by Mitos.”
Cameron planned to send gifts to Love but would let Mitos take the credit. Making it seemed like Mitos was courting her again. So that when Mitos returned, everything would have settled down for the two. That’s not bad, right? Pretty sure Mitos would have done the same for Love if he was doing well right now.
“We’ll see her tomorrow. I will talk to her after her performance. I will tell what happened to Mitos and what he wanted her to know.” A great responsibility rested on his shoulders now.
"I thought you were going to wait for Mitos to come back first, Sir?"
Sadly, he shook his head. “He may not be able to come back. Shei called me earlier. Mitos had a seizure.
His condition is not looking good. I was thinking it might help Mitos recover if he knows that Love has forgiven him.”
“You’re probably right, Sir. It’s really tough being in a coma. There is no guarantee when the person will wake up. Or even if he did wake up, he might be in a vegetative state. The favor Mitos had asked you, seems like it was his last wish.”
They may never meet again. But the important thing is for it to know how Mitos feels about it.
“ATE BHAM, this restaurant is beautiful. Am I really going to sing here? ”
Love still couldn’t believe it as she prepared for her performance for today. She was at the Sky Garden, an indoor garden restaurant located on the rooftop of a high-rise building in Makati.
“Yes. And the talent fee is also okay. Did you know that their performers here are all top-notch. You were referred to her by one of the owner’s friends. And if you perform well, maybe next time we can reserve a slot for our band. ”
For now, she would perform as a solo with a piano accompaniment. She already had a practice with the pianist and it made her even more excited. The restaurant’s ambiance was really great. She was all pumped
up to sing her heart out tonight.
“Thank you, Bham. My talent fee here really helped a lot to pay off our debt. Those scums just barged in yesterday. I was really tense.”
Good thing that this opportunity arrived because she really doesn’t know where to borrow money anymore. She would definity be buried in debt if she tried to borrow money again.
"We’re friends. Who else could we turn to but each other?" Bham poked Kulas, who was Love’s guide. “Make sure to enhance Love’s beauty even more. She might attract a handsome rich man tonight. This is his chance.”
"Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it," Kulas said and started to fix Love.
She looked different when she saw herself in the mirror. Her beautiful eyes were emphasized and her curled hair made her look more alluring. She looked hot in her red body-fitting dress. This was what she dreamed of whenever she performed, this diva look.
When she stepped on the stage, she really did her best. The people there knew she was blind, but they didn’t seem to mind. There were other disabled performers who had been there before. That was one of the nice features of Sky Garden. They look for talent, not the outward appearance of the performer.
The audience received her well. Even the owner Avondale and his girlfriend occupied a table just to watch her perform. She was flattered.
In those moments she had forgotten her problems. She drowned herself in the applause and praises of the audience.
Kulas immediately returned her shades as she descended the stage and handed over her walking stick. She didn’t want to risk being caught in her eyes when she had to face other people.
"Congratulations!" Avondale greeted her. “I knew I had the right decision when I asked you to perform. My girlfriend and I enjoyed it. ”
"I've fallen even more in love with Avondale," his girlfriend said.
"Thank you. It is an honor to be able to perform at your restaurant. ”
“You are talented so you should show what you’ve got in places like our place. I hope you can come back here again for another performance.”
Love couldn’t believe her ears. "Really? You want me to perform again?"
“Yes. Come by to my officer later for your talent fee, then we will discuss your schedule. Your manager and I had already talked. If there is anything else that you want…”
"I'm okay with whatever you talked about with my manager."
Avondale stretched out a hand to her. “Someone wants to invite you to his table. He seemed to be a big fan of yours.”
Her heart beats wildly when she saw the direction she was heading to. In the more private part of the restaurant where her handsome admirer was seating. The handsome rich man with the hottest body she had ever given a massage to. She knew it. He had an interest in her. If he happened to be a stalker, he would be the most handsome stalker in the world. She was flattered to be stalked by him. This must be love. She couldn’t help but get carried away by the romantic atmosphere of the place.
A man carrying a bunch of flowers blocked her parth. "Miss Love, flowers for you."
Kulas was quick to hand the flowers to her so she could hold it. “Thank you! Who are these from? ” Maybe now she will finally know who her handsome stalker is.
"Mitos wants you to have it, Miss Love."
"Mitos?" Her forehead furrowed. "Mitos Hernandez?"
"Yes, Miss Love.”
