I believe in the immeasurable power of love .....

Looking at Theo's house from the highway while waiting for public transportation that she can ride on her way back to her parent's house, Amor felt she lost her identity. She may be a married woman but she doesn't have any relation to her spouse, she may be a parent but she's not able to perform that role to her children. "Who am I?" she thought and the long-withheld tears have now been freely released dancing on her cheeks. "What have I done to deserve this? Or rather, what have I not done to deserve this??" she asked herself. "When will all this uncertainty end???" she thought. "Where do I go from here????" she asked herself. "Why did my simple life become as complicated as this?????" she thought. "How do I move on??????" she was lost in contemplating all by herself when her phone rang and the caller ID says, Mr. Kim.

"Hello Mr. Kim," she answered the call right away.

"Are you all right?"

Looking around her surroundings for any sign of Do Yun she was unable to answer right away, "Is he here?" she thought.

"Amor....."

"Uhm..... Mr. Kim where are you?"

"At home, where else can I be? You haven't answered my question."

"Ah..... I'm okay," Amor hurriedly wiped the tears from her face as if Do Yun can see her crying.

"Why did you ask where I am?"

"Oh..... I thought..... I thought maybe you're working overtime. By the way Mr. Kim, why did you call?"

"You said you need to stay there to take care of personal matters and I know that's none of my business but I hope everything's fine with you and your family."

"Uhm..... thank you for asking Mr. Kim but yes everything's fine and don't worry I'll be ready to report to work by Thursday, I'll hang up now bye," before Do Yun can respond Amor ended the call because the words have now turned into cries. "I can't be a mistress, I don't want to be a mistress, I shouldn't be a mistress," she told herself. "It's my fault, I can't like Mr. Kim," she thought. But hearing his calm voice seemed to have erased the doubts of her past, present, and future, "No, I don't need to be a homewrecker even if it means losing the only happiness I have ever known," she told herself. Thinking of how Theo abused her physical weakness she can only long to find comfort in Do Yun's arms again, "No, there shouldn't be any more intimacy with him," she thought. She thought she was already able to overcome her feelings toward Do Yun but now that he has confessed his feelings toward her, she's back to square one, "Theo abuses my physical weakness while Mr. Kim takes advantage of my emotional weakness and I hate myself more for allowing them to do it to me," she told herself. "My head hurts now, might as well give myself a good night's sleep which I also deserve," she thought and hailed public transportation so that she can ride back to her parent's house already.

Her parent's house is only 1 kilometer away thus she arrived there after a few minutes of travel.

"Amor you're back, come in," greeted her father.

"Sorry I just arrived pa, where are the kids?"

"Come with me, your mother already put them to sleep."

"Amor, you're back!" greeted her mother. "You can go straight to your room now, the kids are already asleep."

"Thank you ma," with no hesitation she went straight to her room and gave a weary look at her children who are already sound asleep. In times like this, she's happier that Theo is away and she can only hope that they have finally escaped from him so that he will no longer stir up trouble either between the two of them or among their children.

Two days with her children seems to fly so fast since she's now waiting again for the first trip bound to Cebu City in the North Terminal in their town in Daanbantayan 11th of January 2023 Wednesday 4:24 am. It has been a month ago since she traveled to the city and she is anxious that Do Yun might have an idea about her marital issues. Seated at the 9th column 9th row on the left side of the driver she took the window seat. Clink clink clink. The bus inspector hits the bar handle of the door that signals the bus is now departing. Since she took the first trip, the sun is already up and Amor is wide awake for the whole trip and took notice of where they at during the travel. With a speed of 50-60kph, Amor did not even budge as the bus traveled down the cemented sometimes rugged zigzag road. Due to the heavy traffic starting from Consolacion it took her 2 hours to reach the city, and when she got off in the north terminal she hailed a taxi. After a few minutes, she is now about to enter the condominium premises. Upon entering the gate the guard asked the driver for the homeowner's name, "Mr. and Mrs. Kim, boss," replied Amor.

Although she still has the whole day off she already reviewed the important tasks and deadlines Do Yun has for her since she wasn't able to report to work for the whole week, "This is my reality," she told herself and let out a sigh.

Driiiiin. Driiiiin. Driiiiin.

Amor missed the sound of the old alarm clock and since she's able to rest for a week she can't wait to go back to work already. "I need to finish all the important tasks and deadlines Mr. Kim has for me," she thought. She chose to wear a fun, flirty, and oh-so-fashionable, pink trapeze mini dress tailored in a tiered design, which also features elasticated sleeves and a keyhole neck.

Standing outside unit 1203, she straightened her dress and lightly knocked on the door thrice then David opened the door.

"Good..... good morning Mr. and Mrs. Kim," Amor stuttered but Ae Cha only gave her a glance and stood up to enter her room. She saw Mila sitting on the sofa thus she sat beside her.

"Have you reviewed the important tasks and deadlines I sent you?"

Amor looked in the direction of where the voice is coming from and a familiar sight to behold: Do Yun walking toward her wearing a Hayward flannel burgundy suit.

"I might as well play dead right now," she told herself.

He is definitely what a picture of love was to her.
