It’s exactly five years since they last saw each other. Kelvin was in deep thought on his way home when he saw a familiar figure across Riverside Drive.
Joni was staring at him through an unusually thick fog.
Stunned, Kelvin’s eyes fell on a boy holding Joni’s hand when a bus drove by; they disappeared from view.
Kelvin dialed Joni.
A sleepy voice answered, “Hello?”
“Joni, what are you doing here in New York? Who’s that boy with you?” he asked tightly in succession.
“K-Kelvin? I’m here in Manila with my mom. What are you talking about?”she asked.
He dropped his celfone when he saw where he stood. A marble monument with an iron enclosure was in front of him; he instantly knew why.
It was said that the “amiable child” shows your destiny in an October night like this.
