Eli and Saji are half way done with their projects. Their next destination is to Japan so Eli need to come back to her home town for a bit.

"Who's the guy you're with from the past few weeks?" Saji asked Eli while they're eating their lunch.

"My future husband," Pagkasabi ni Eli ay agad na nabulunan si Saji. Naging alerto naman sya at inabutan ng tubig ang kaibigan nya.

Matapos uminom ay hinarap sya ni Saji. "What are you thinking? I knew this will come but I never knew you'll be the one who will make this reality. Eli come on, we both a celebrity, what if our fans will see you with another guy? What they will think? That you're cheating on me." Concern na sabi ni Saji sa kanya.

Eli rolled his eyes at him. "I don't care about the people, I only care about my task. And I never destroy my career without making a plan."

Saji looked to Eli for a minute before sighing heavily. "Do you like that guy or you're still playing with your parents with 'arrange marriage' ?"

Eli stopped a bit and looked at his friend. "He likes someone,"

"So do you like him too?"

Her grey eyes stopped to Saji's hazel brown eyes to looked at him. "I don't know. I never wanted to like someone who will not like me back."

"But you like him now." Saji confirmed. "Or you're still confused?"

"Look, I don't want where is this going but I can take care of myself and face my consequences later." Eli's voice sounded so tired.

Saji looked at her in disbelief. "So you will continue after this? This is dangerous Eli. What if he will be the reason of your downfall?"

"I knew that will be coming soon. So don't worry about me okay? I can handle this." Eli looked so sure and secured with her answer. Make Saji's faced confused more.

"What are you planning, really?"

Eli didn't answer and tapped his back before leaving the private room.

"Let's get ready for another shoot, in 3, 2 1" The Director shouted 'action'. Eli and Saji are only focused on each other as they kissed passionately, intense and feeling hot all over.

In a minute, they already done shooting and the next episode will be confused by their actions as a friends but they reached their limits as only a called 'friend'.

"You're doing better," Eli said when they done shooting episodes in the Philippines.

Saji chuckled and run to her direction and hugged her in the back. "It's because of you. We need to act truely at the scene."

"Are you inspired by someone? You seems in love." Eli whispered so no one could hear them.

Saji covered her mouth until they reached their own room and closed the door. "Stop stating nonsense, if I ever enter relationship, that'll be a biggest break for me, for us."

"We're just friends you know, maybe after that or even years come. They can finally free us from this love team issue." Eli suddenly felt anxious that she will wait for more years to be finally free of the love team.

The silence comes until Saji breaked the ice. "Do you really like him enough?"

Eli didn't answer and just looked at him like she was tired from that question. She didn't even know how to answer it and she's so confused right now that she can't even answer that simple question.

"Time to go home. I'll see you tomorrow." Eli suddenly stood up and kissed his friend's cheek before biding a good bye.

"Why do I need to be confused?" Eli question herself while driving alone to her secret place where she lived.

While she's on her way. Her phone suddenly vibrate and she knew that it was her fiancé is calling.

She can't help but to crack a smile on her lip before she answered it in a second.

"Yes?"

[Can we meet tonight? Are you still busy?] His voice sounded so soft and she calmed a bit.

"Of course we can meet tonight, I always make time for you, you know that right?"

Even if it's only act, she enjoyed it and little by little, she's getting more deep attach to a person. She knew that it was dangerous but she's willing to risk it.

[I know and I'm sorry for not answering your calls, I'm busy with Chloe. And I clearly clean this mess and she accepted that we can only be friends. She doesn't ask either what was wrong. I told you that she's nice.] Eli sense that happiness from his voice on the phone call.

"Do you not like her enough to prove it?" Eli bit her lower lip to stop herself from being s straight forward.

[Just this once, respect my decision Eli. I don't want you both to hurt.]

"What if she find's someone? Will you not regret it?" Eli stopp France from talking.

Silence took over and Eli sighed in defeated. "I know it's impossible for now but please be careful with your words. She's a human too, she have feelings for you. And don't mind me because I can handle myself well. I can fix this arrange marriage situation for ours-"

[Just trust me Eli, I knew that I make the right choice. Now where are you? Can we have a date tonight? ]

"I'll just text you the address, I need to change first. Take care."

Eli ended the call and sighed heavily before driving back to her home.
