Nandito ako ngayon sa Ortigas dahil mayroong catering service ngayon ang restaurant sa isang event ng isang mayaman na pamilya. Hindi naman talaga ako need dito dahil may mga naka-assign naman akong mga caterers but I want to check din kasi kung kamusta yung food and kung may mga problema ba para maayos agad. One thing about me is that I am very hands-on with my work.

"Good evening, chef," bati sa akin ni Renjun na aking Catering Chef. I pat his shoulder and went behind the tables kung saan nakalagay ang mga pagkain habang pinagmamasdan ang mga tao na naririto para sa event.

"How's it going? Ano pala meron dito?"

"Okay naman po. 60th Birthday po pala ng parents ng client natin," sagot niya. Kaya pala napansin ko na ang theme ng party ngayon ay gold. May mga nagpeperform sa stage ng venue at kapansin-pansin din naman kasi na may kaya yung client namin dahil sobrang ganda ng paligid. Napansin ko din na kilala ko yung ibang guests dito kaya kinabahan ako pero I shook it off lang. There's no way na party nila 'to.

"Ano oras sila kakain?" pagtatanong ko. Pansin ko kasi na wala pang bawas ang mga pagkain na nakahanda sa mesa. After nila kumain at nasigurado ko na ayos na ang lahat, uuwi na ako dahil nakay Giselle at Ning si Kat ngayong gabi. Kanina pa sila nag-aalaga sa pamangkin ko and to be honest, nahihiya na ako. I might hire a babysitter na talaga pero tatanungin ko muna si Karina kung papayag siya.

"Sabi po nung coordinator, pagtapos daw po kumanta nung client natin," tugon niya.

"I'm sorry but ano nga ulit name ng client natin? Hindi ko pa kasi siya nameet since si Lisa ang kumausap sakanila noong nag book sila."

"Jaemin Na daw po."

So that means... it's Tita Mama's birthday? My eyes widened in realization dahil tama nga, birthday niya ngayong araw. How could I forget?

As if on cue, the event's MC spoke into the microphone, introducing him as the final performer before they eat. I watched him na umakyat sa stage, wearing his usual smile while the guests cheered for him. He's looking so good as ever and hindi ko alam pero sumasakit na naman yung puso ko. I was trying to avoid him after our break up and this is the first time na I saw him after that kaya masakit pa din talaga.

Hindi pa din naman kasi nawawala talaga yung sakit.

"Good evening, everyone. How are you tonight?" pagtatanong niya sa crowd. They all screamed, which made him laugh. He turned to face the audience as he walked around the stage. As soon as our eyes met, I stood frozen in my stance. His smile had also faded slightly, so he shifted his gaze away and cleared his throat.

"Wow, it's so nice to see you guys here. Thank you for coming to my Mom's 60th birthday. Actually, I prepared only the best for this party. I even booked the best restaurant that I know, which is lieu d'hiver. They're right there," he said as he pointed at our direction kaya napatingin silang lahat sa amin. Yung ibang relatives niya na kilala ako, nagulat nang makita ako. Alam kasi nilang naghiwalay na kami.

"Anyway, I will sing you guys my new single na irerelease pa lang next month so no recording please. So this is a song that I wrote after me and my long-term girlfriend broke up. Actually, she was the one who wrote this piece talaga and dinagdagan ko lang siya kasi promise namin dati na tatapusin namin 'tong kanta na 'to when we celebrate our 8th anniversary. Anyway, I want to let her know that I regret everything I did that night. If she's listening right now, pup, come back." he added at nagsimula nang tumugtog ang music. He closed his eyes and I know he was in his element already.

I'm pass seeing you
Picturing where we end up to
I'm broke and hopeless too
Wishin' I could get back to you
I can't keep goin' on like this
Pretending that you're gone
But I don't know cuz all I know

No. Not this song. Oh my God.

I'll be here waiting you to come
And bring me right back home
I'm caught up with these memories
Just by sitting here alone
If only I can see where it all started we'll be fine
It's clear where this is goin'
I'll keep missing you alone, yeah
If you could see me cryin' in my room

"What are you doing, pup?" Jaemin rested his chin on my shoulders and wrapped his arms around my waist as I wrote a new song on Jaemin's room floor in my notebook that had been playing in my head for a while.

"I have this melody in my head and I'm trying to write a song kaya wag ka magulo dyan," I rolled my eyes, but he just laughed and tightened his grip. We're at Jaemin's condo, and he just finished filming, so he went straight home so we could eat dinner together.

Being with Jaemin is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me. He's simply too good to be true, and I can't believe we're already in our seventh year together. He has never hurt me in any way, and he always looks after me. We bond by writing and singing songs. We always sing and write songs together, and he even included it in his album along with "Written with pup."

He always includes me in everything he does. He always tells me that his success is also mine, and I don't think I can love another person as much as I love Jaemin.

"Later na yan, pup. Eat na muna tayo, I'm so hungry na. I bought your favorite 24 Chicken."

I turned my body to face him while widening my eyes. "Really? You did?" I asked, wrapping both of my arms around Jaemin's neck. My boyfriend nodded happily then gave me a quick peck on the lips.

"Yes, pup. Kaya later na yan. I'll help you finish that song then we can sing it together when our 8th anniversary comes."

That night, I put my notebook in his bedside table drawer and happily went to the dining table to eat my favorite food with my favorite person.

Hey, I missed you too
And just so you know
I still love you
And I don't even know if I'm alright
'Cause if I call we'd only end up in a fight
And I don't wanna keep on getting hurt
Still holding to your favorite little shirt

Jaemin opened his eyes at nakita kong naluluha na siya nang tignan niya ako so I had to look away. I think this is the part na dinagdagan niya because I know hindi ko sinulat yang part na yan. Hindi ko kaya yung ganitong e
