"He was really weird earlier," I said.

I just shrugged and continued walking. I looked around and Ros's shadow; I didn't see him there.

Even where he used to sit, he was not there.

"Where is that?" I said while looking for him. "Did he go home?" I asked myself.

I'll wait for him here for about 10 minutes, maybe he'll be amused by the trip to Manila.

*/////

I have been waiting for a while, Ros is still not there. I've been waiting for him for ten minutes, he still isn't there.

"Maybe he went home earlier?" I asked in my mind.

Come home, maybe he'll be there

*/////

I'm here in the apartment now. I checked the door. After entering, I immediately closed the door and put my bag on the sofa.

"Ross, I'm here!" I just screamed.

I immediately went to the kitchen and put the vegetables I bought on the table. I'm going to cook pickled beans. I know he will love that.

I washed the beans and just kept calling Ros.

"Ros, I'm here. Go out to your room and help me cook our food." Just said.

Still nothing. Neither answered, no one answered. I stopped washing the beans and wiped my hand on my clothes. I entered the room and I didn't see Ros there. I quickly went to the bathroom and he wasn't there either.

"Where is he?"

THIRD-PERSON POV:)

Ros woke up immediately when he dreamed of Elizabeth looking for him. He also saw in the dream how she cried and worried about him.

He immediately got up from lying down and saw the woman who bought his clothes.

"Are you all right?" He asked her.

"Where am I?" Instead, he asked here.

"You're in the hospital. You lost consciousness so I took you here, I thought you were not alright." This explains it.

"What time is it?!" Constantly looking around he asked. He is looking for a clock so he can see what time it is.

"It's already 8 pm---"

He could not continue to say more when he left the bed. Mandy stood up from her seat. He has already put on his slippers which are just below.

"I need to go now. Lady Beth is waiting for me, I know she's worried about me." He said in a panic.

"Who's Lady Beth?" Mandy suddenly asked him.

He walked out of the room where he was confined.

"The someone special to me." He just answered while walking to leave the hospital.

"Hold on! I'll take you." It's a prison.

He stopped walking when he said that. He nodded in agreement that he would take him to the apartment where he and Lady Beth were staying.

"Okay, I'll call my driver." He said and dialed his cp.

They are already out of the hospital and Ros is restless because Lady Beth might be waiting for him.

ELIZABETH VILLATORTE POV:)

She was just opposite the window waiting for Ros who was walking to the apartment where they lived. He had already cooked what they were going to eat including rice, he had also eaten. Until now, he's still gone.

"How is that, Ros," I said sadly.

I just saw Ros running. I stood up from where I was sitting and quickly opened the window. I called him immediately.

"Rose!"

He looked at it. I waved at her with a smile. He also smiled widely and waved.

"Lady Beth!" It also shouted and waved again.

He ran into the apartment. As for me, I ran to my room in a panic to change my clothes. I don't want him to see me in just a shirt. I like that I look good when Ros sees me.

I saw my dress with a drawing of Micky mouse and I immediately put it on. After putting it on, I went to the mirror and applied a little powder. Also, I don't have lipstick yet, so it's okay to just use natural lips because my lips are pink.

I don't know why I do this. I just want to be beautiful in his eyes. I exited the room excitedly. Before even heading to the door, it opened. And I was exposed to...

"Ros." I said. I couldn't help but smile because I was so happy because he was here and with me again.

He immediately closed the door and ran towards me. It immediately hugged me. I also hugged him because I miss him so much. I didn't just see him, I missed him immediately. I thought he had left me.

He immediately closed the door and ran towards me. It immediately hugged me. I also hugged him because I miss him so much. I didn't just see him, I missed him immediately. I thought he had left me.

"I miss you." Ros said while hugging me very tightly.

"I miss you too, Rose." I said the same.

We separated from the hug and just looked at each other smiling.

He just handed me a bag. I looked at it first and looked at him again.

"What is this, Ros? Where can I use this?" I suddenly asked him when I took it and looked at what was inside. There is a box that seems to contain something.

"For you." He said with a smile."Open it!"

I took it and put its case down. My eyes widened when I saw that it was a shoe.

"Seriously? Is this for me?" I still can't believe it.

"If your first pair of shoes reminds of your mother, that shoes reminds of me. Every time you wear those shoes, I'm with you. Wherever you go, I am always on your side. You're not alone and I will never leave you. I give you that pair of shoes because I want to say thank you. I'm lucky because you adapt me and god sent you for me. Not only that, but I want to make you happy even in a simple gift , Lady Beth." This is a serious statement.

I don't know how to react but I felt a joy that I can't explain. The taste in the chest of what he said made you think that my heart was flying with the taste of what I was feeling. I put the shoes on the sofa and looked at Ros with serious eyes.

After a while I smiled at him and he smiled back at me.

I hugged him again and the words came out of my mouth...

"I will never leave you. I'll promise." I think it's a serious feeling.

He also gave me a hug that almost got tighter.

I can't say anything but...

"Thank you for coming to my life."

ELIZABETH VILLATORTE POV:)

I slowly opened my eyes. I just saw that Ros's face was in front of me. I closed my eyes maybe I'm just squinting. But as my vision became clear, it was Ros who appeared in front of me. My eyes widened because I was seeing the real Ros. It looked at me and smiled so sweetly that it awakened my personality.

"Good morning, Lady Beth." Cheer it up.

I got up from lying down and then Ros adjusted to sit on the bed. I took a deep breath before asking him.

"You wake up earlier, why?" I asked him.

The sky is not very bright yet. I see through the window, the sun is coming out.

"Take a bath and cook, Lady Beth. I will send you to your work." He said sweetly and his smile never disappeared.

"Yes, I will. I'm going to cook our breakfast." I said.

"Yeah!" He said it like a child."Okay, I will take a bath." He said and hurriedly stood up and put on his house slippers.

I just laughed because he almost fell because of his haste to leave the room, he almost didn't even put on his slippers.

I was about to get up from sitting on the bed when I saw the shoes that Ros bought. I still remember what he said last night.

"If your first pair of shoes reminds of your mother, that shoes reminds of me. Every time you wear those shoes, I'm with you. Wherever you go, I am always on your side. You're not alone and I will never leave you. I give you that pair of shoes because I want to say thank you. I'm lucky because you adapt me and god sent you for me. Not only that, but I want to make you happy even in a simple gift , Lady Beth."

I just smiled when I remembered that. To be honest, I'm thrilled. I want to be with him and I want him to be next to me. I'm afraid when his memory comes back, he finds out where he came from, he might leave me. To return to his family. That's the only thing I fear will happen.

I touched my cheek. I felt my face warm. It's obvious that I'm in love with Ros.

"Hayst! Why is that boy so sweet. I might fall in love with him." I said weakly while slapping my face softly."Wait." Suddenly I remembered something. I crossed my arms."Where did he get the money to buy these shoes?" I wondered while talking to myself.

I looked again at the shoebox that Ros bought and took it. My eyes widened when I saw its price.

"Oh my gosh!" I exclaimed in shock."What? 3,450 pesos?! Where did he get so much money to buy this?!"

I suddenly remembered yesterday.

**Flashbacks**

"How can you speak and understand Tagalog? How come you know every one here? And how do they know your name?" I have one question after another here.

Everyone we meet knows him. Whether young or young, he is known and congratulated. It's surprising, he hasn't been here for two weeks yet, but many people know him. It seems that he is close to many people here.

"Just a small thing." It answered me with a mischievous smile.

Why! Did I hear right?! He said that Tagalog? Can he speak Tagalog? Or does he really know how to speak Tagalog?!

"When did you learn to speak Tagalog?" I'm asking here.

"My troops teach me." It was a hanging answer as we walked.

"Who's troops?" I still ask.

"My troops. My friends." It was a smiling answer.

Whose troop is this?

"How did the people here recognize you?"

"Because I'm Ros. King of ROS." He answered and smiled proudly.

**End of Flashbacks**

"Troops? Who are his Troops? Maybe he's doing something wrong that's why he had the money to buy these shoes? Maybe his troops are the addicts here? Or maybe his friends got him into the syndicate ?" I asked one question after another.

Dead! I'm afraid of what Ros will be next. He might also become an addict and just as bad as the misguided youths here.

Please don't...
