LOVE WAS silent while in the car on their way home. It was Eron’s assistant, Marvin, who fetched her at the School for the Blind. Eron had sent for her. She had her hands clasped in front of her as the beat of her heart was drumming against her chest. What if Eron wanted to say goodbye to her now? What if his girlfriend Janice had demanded that Eron needed to get rid of her? She should be ready for it. Eron had given him more than enough as Mitos. Well, she was gonna leave him anyway. It's just that she was gonna leave earlier than planned. They entered a yacht club. Beautiful yachts lined up at the marina. "We’re here, Miss Love," Marvin said and helped her out of the car. Opening the door, she saw Eron waiting for him who walked immediately towards her when he saw her. He was absolutely handsome in his black business suit. No matter how long she pretended to be blind, it’s still hard to pretend that she could not see Eron. Too many times she had wanted to caress his face and tell him how beautiful his eyes were, his nose, his lips. “Hello, Love. Do you know where we are now?” Eron asked as he held out her hand. “Hmmm… I can hear the sea. We are just near the sea.” “Good. But we’re not just near the sea. We’re actually at a yacht club. And I will take you on a yacht cruise.” "I-I'm going on a cruise?" she exclaimed. "For real?" He held her in her arms. “Yes. We will board a yacht and have dinner in the middle of the sea. Do you like that?” Her eyes were shining. "Of course. It’s my dream to go on a yacht cruise. Is it beautiful? Big?” "You'll know soon enough because I’ll tour you around the yacht." She put her hands over her chest. "We’re not gonna sink, are we?" “No. I'll take care of you. You trust me, don't you?” She nodded slowly. "Yes, of course. I was only worried about you because you were recently involved in an accident.” She knew it was not that easy to recover from that kind of accident, especially since it also happened on a yacht. He planted a kiss on her forehead. “I’m fine. Because you’re with me. So let’s forget about the accident. I want us both to enjoy our day today.” That yacht was not your average yacht. According to Eron, it was almost one hundred feet. He introduced her to a few staff and to the captain as well. They were kind and polite and promised an enjoyable time for them on that yacht cruise. "Whose yacht is this?" she asked as she held onto the railing on the bow of the yacht. "I don't think I'll accept that you spent so much on this. You’ve already spent too much on me. It will be fine even if we just walk around the Luneta Park like we used to.” He was silent for a moment. “No. My friend’s company owns this. He owns an investment bank. It's okay with him. We rarely had this kind of date anyway.” “Is this Cam’s? I still haven’t met that friend of yours. Don’t you think he’s being too nice to you?” She raised his hand and traced his face. "Plus, I also want to know who’s more handsome between the two of you.” She would definitely think about Eron everyday once she was gone from his life. She felt like wanting to just stare at him until she memorized his face. If only she could. For now, she would just content herself touching his face. He grabbed her hand and didn’t let her move her hand from his cheek. There was sadness in his eyes as he watched her. “I already told you that we were both in that accident. I saved his life. He is still recovering in the hospital. Once he is better, you will get to meet him.” She sensed his discomfort. He doesn't seem to want to talk about his "friend". She also didn’t know why she was suddenly nervous about something. Was this ‘friend’ he was talking to…was it Mitos? Did Mitos save Eron so now he helps her in return? Did Mitos ask him to take care of her? Or was this just part of some fun game they were playing? She doesn’t know. Eron doesn't seem like the type who would lead her on and play with her feelings. That was not the kind of Eron that she had come to know. But she still wondered why he was pretending to be Mitos. Was he going to tell her the truth tonight? He held her by her waist. "Let's dance." Then she heard the sound of the violin somewhere nearby. The music was so romantic and she felt like she was being lulled in Eron’s arms. She couldn't help but lean her cheek against his chest. She hoped they would stay this way forever. Just the two of them together. Where they no longer need to pretend. Eron not needing to pretend to be Mitos. And she didn't need to pretend that she could not see him. How she hoped she didn’t need to leave him and that he didn’t have to go back to Janice. How she is the only woman in his life. And that she was free to tell him how much she loves him. "Love, I have something really important to tell you." She straightened up herself. Is this it? Was he going to tell her now that she needed to leave his side so his marriage to Janice would finally push through? He didn’t need to protect her anymore, right? They were just friends. But did she really have to hear straight from his lips? For the first time, she did not want to hear the truth coming from him. "Me too. I also have something important to say," she said quickly. “Kulas and I…I think we’re done with our vacation. We’re planning on moving out of your house. Thank you for all the help you have given us." "What?" an obvious shock in Eron’s voice. “Why so sudden? You don't have to leave. Didn't you like the way I treated you? Was there something you don’t like about my attitude? Aren't you comfortable at home…?”
