Intimate love keeps us from peace .....

Amor needs to fulfill what Do Yun asked her to do for the day even if she is exhausted already, thus her first stop is at the heart of uptown Mabolo district in Cebu an urban oasis taking the form of an Asian-Balinese-inspired community of highrise residential buildings set within a sprawling 3.7-hectare property. Next was an incredible sea view penthouse unit in Mactan. Another was an affordable condominium studio unit in Cebu IT Park which is very accessible to churches, schools, hospitals, malls, and entertainment and is even a walking distance to the Ayala Mall Central Block. The other is a multi-tower residential in Cebu City that presents a brilliant living experience: the mellow glow of a home that is exactly the size Do Yun was looking for, balanced with the invigorating vibrancy of everything under the sun. Last but not the least, is an inspired coastal town in Italy known for its picturesque landmarks and scenic beauty it offers a majestic view of both the mountain and the sea.

Satisfied with the pictures, videos, and notes she took from all of the sites Amor is ready to go home after spending 4 hours roaming around the city. While waiting for a taxi, a car stopped in front of Amor when the front passenger window rolled down she saw that it was Mr. Abad.

"Ms. Amor what brings you in the neighborhood?" she told herself.

"So he lives here," she told herself. "Oh..... Mr. Kim had an errand for me in the area."

"I see, hop in I'll drive you home."

"Uhm.....," Amor wants to decline but afraid she might offend Mr. Abad.

"It's okay if you like you can stay at the back."

"Ah..... it's not that Mr. Abad, my place may be out of your way."

"That's fine, just tell me where I can drop you off then."

"Oh..... okay Mr. Abad," Amor eventually agreed since she has run out of reasons to decline.

Mr. Abad's car has 4 seats which were enough for him because it is not something very big. It is spacious enough to accommodate four people and the seats are very comfortable. The 1.4-liter T-jet turbocharged engine made the ride very thrilling for Amor and the ride itself is very comfortable.

"Have you had dinner already?" Mr. Abad asked.

"Uhm..... not yet sir."

"I'm not sure if Mr. Kim knows about it but it's actually my birthday, I'm about to meet with my friends now for a simple dinner."

"Ah..... happy birthday Mr. Abad."

"Thanks, do you want to join us for dinner?"

"Oh..... no thank you, Mr. Abad, it's your birthday so you need to spend it with people you know."

"I know you, right?"

"Uhm..... I mean....."

"It's not everyday I celebrate my birthday, can you say yes this time?"

"Ah..... okay then Mr. Abad," Amor eventually agreed since she has run out of reasons to decline.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Amor found out that Mr. Abad only had 3 other male friends with him "Maybe he wants to have more guests that's why he insisted on inviting me," she thought.

They finished their dinner after about an hour and Amor thought it is now a good time for her to leave, "Oh..... excuse me, Mr. Abad, I think I can get myself a taxi outside....."

"Are you kidding me? The dinner is just an appetizer, it will not be a birthday party without karaoke. Come on, we'll transfer upstairs."

"Uhm..... Mr. Abad, I think it is time for me to go home now....."

"Can you sing just one birthday song for me?"

"Ah..... I guess so," Amor eventually agreed since she has run out of reasons to decline.

One song led to another then another, and although Mr. Abad gave Amor a beverage with only 1%ABV because of her low tolerance the alcohol already went into her bloodstream and affected her brain and body functions immediately.

"Whose phone is ringing?" one of Mr. Abad's friends asked around and they all checked their phones except Amor. After they all confirmed that it's not any of their phones they then asked Amor to check her own phone, "Ms. Amor I think your phone is ringing."

"Oh..... who could it be?" Amor's speech is slurred now and laughing in between her words.

"Uhm..... Mr. Kim..... Ah, it's just Mr. Kim, hello? Hello? Hello?" alcohol has affected Amor's hearing already.

"Oh..... the call ended. Should I call him back?" Amor does not realize she is already thinking out loud.

Her phone rang again this time a video call, "Uhm..... Mr. Kim likes to see me, hello Mr. Kim, hello."

"Who is with you?"

"I'm not sure if Mr. Kim knows about it but it's actually my birthday, I'm about to meet with my friends now for a simple dinner. That's what Mr. Abad told me."

"What have you been drinking?"

"I don't know it only says 1%ABV."

"Where are you now?"

"Wait I'll show you around," Amor then showed Do Yun around the place using her phone camera while on the video call.

"Did you see it Mr. Kim?" but the call ended already. "He ended the call again, fine. If you call again I will not answer it."

Amor no longer participated in the singing but still drank a few more bottles, "Mr. Abad I'll just go to the restroom."

"I'll go with you."

When Amor got out of the restroom, Mr. Abad was still waiting outside and since she can no longer walk properly she accidentally tripped but Mr. Abad was able to catch her in time. Although she can no longer talk, hear nor walk properly she is still aware of her surroundings. Mr. Abad pinned her against the wall and about to give her a kiss but she resisted by moving her head away from him.

"Amor, don't you know who I am? You dared resist me??"

Mr. Abad pinned her against the wall again to make another attempt to give her a kiss but she mustered all the strength that remained in her and pushed him away which caused him to lose his balance.

"Ah..... Mr. Abad, I'm sorry I didn't mean to....."

Mr. Abad was too angry that he got offended by Amor's resistance he launched to attack Amor but he received a block from her out of nowhere. He tried to regain his strength to get back to Amor but received a punch instead. Seeing Mr. Abad being blocked and punched with skills that seemed to be familiar, Amor looked in the direction of where they're coming from and a sight to behold is more familiar to her than the skills: Do Yun.

Amor might just understand if her heart was Do Yun's.
