UNTIL I MET YOU (Sequel To The Until We Meet Again)

KEVIN's POV "Where are you going? You are carrying a bag again. Where exactly are you heading to?” Mum asked... I mean, the woman asked me when I go down the stairs. Tss. What does she care where I go? Ignoring her, I walked straight over the door. But before I could walk out she called me. "Hiro!" Ah, what an annoying. Reluctantly, I turn around to face her direction. "What?" I lazily asked. "I'm asking you where are you going?" I scoffed. "None of your business." After I said that, I turned my back on him and left the house. "Hiro!" She called me but I ignored her. "Hiro, come back! Remember, we're going somewhere later!" She added. Yeah, she wants me to attend the event later. But no, I don't want to. Tss. I hate this house and I don't know why I'm staying here. Tss. I had to find a permanent job to get out of this hell house. Yeah, I still live in the house of the woman who adopted me eight years ago. Not even a year has passed since the accident happened. Because of that, I lost the girl of my life again. We parted our ways again. I asked my mum for help to find her but she did not help me. She ignored me and told me to forget about Joy. And I hate her. She also told me that Joy was dead. But no. That is not true. I know she is alive. I know. That is why I will look for her. I will never stop until I find her. Sigh. It was all my fault. I shouldn’t have called her that night to go to me. I should have gone to her instead and all of this could not have happened. We would not have had an accident. We would never have separated again. I sigh out. I'm on my way to the orphanage. It's Saturday and I always go there because that's actually where my real home is. I spend my days taking care of the kids and I also venture to see Joy there. Who knows? She might come to the orphanage to find me. I hope... After two hours, I reached the orphanage. Yeah, it took me two hours to reach the place because I only use a bicycle. I didn't use my car, I mean the car that the woman bought me. I don't want to use anything that came from her. I'm living in her house but I pay for the things I use in her house. I park my bicycle outside and I enter inside the gate. I headed to the playground. There, I saw the children playing and when they saw me they immediately approached me. "Hello, kids! How are you all, huh?" "We're doing good, Kuya Kevin!" [KUYA - BIG BROTHER] "Kuya Kevin, do you have any toys for us?" They asked me in enthusiasm. Yeah, they are always expecting toys whenever I came here. Well, I spoiled them with toys anyway, hehe. "Of course, I have toys for you guys. Kuya Kevin won't forget that." "Yehey!" They clap their hands in happiness. They are so adorable. Whenever I feel so sad and lonely, but seeing their smiles cheers me up. They also give me hope to see and be with Joy again. "Come on. I'll give you all the toys." I said and I carried them to the wide table. They all sat down on the wooden chairs, feeling excited about the toys. I place my bag on the table and I open it. I took the toys in it one by one and gave them to them. They are very happy to receive it and I am so very happy too. "You bought toys again with your money." I looked at someone who spoke and it was Lady Marry, the one who took care of me and Joy here at the orphanage when we were kids. "Lady Marry!" I took her right hand and I blessed. "It's okay, Lady Marry. I always have a budget for them." I answered while smiling. "You always say that. Don’t forget to worry about yourself.” “Yes, Lady Marry. Don’t worry.” “Okay. Did you eat breakfast?" "Not yet, Lady Marry, hehe." I smiled awkwardly, scratching the back of my head. "I knew it. Come inside. I prepared breakfast for you." Lady Marry knows me, hehe. "Yes." I excused myself to the kids and I followed Lady Marry inside. We went to the dining area. I sat down on the chair. Lady Marry give me my breakfast and she also sat down on the chair across to me. "Thank you for the food, Lady Marry," I said while smiling. "Yes. Eat now. I know you're hungry." "Yeah," I awkwardly laughed. Then, I took the spoon and fork and starts to eat my breakfast. "What are you up to these days? You look so tired. Are you making yourself too tired looking for a job?" Lady Marry asked me. "Yes. I need to have a job so I can leave her house." I have been searching for a job but no one accepts me. Not because I'm not eligible but because that woman is interfering with my life searching for a job. She used her connections to tell the company I was applying for not to accept me. Why is she doing that? That is because she wants me to be part of her company but I don't want to. I want to get out of her life. I’m done with her. "You know what, Kevin. I don't think you need to do that. You want to find Joy, don't you? It'll be easier for you to find her when you're known all over the world." "Are you telling me to join that woman's business?" "Yes. That way you will have a connection and your search for Joy will be easier." "I understand. But I don't think that will happen when I become part of her business. She will only take more control of my life. I don't trust anyone around her." Lady Marry sighed. "Don't worry, Lady Marry. Someone is helping me. And even if it took too long for me to find Joy, it's fine. I won't give up. I know, one day our paths will meet again." I said while smiling and looked at the bracelet on my wrist. We will see each other again, Joy. I will find you. I will not stop looking for you. — After I ate I went to the treehouse. Our treehouse. I walked around the whole tree house and looked again at the toys and things that had something to do with the two of us. Just then, memories flashback in my mind. ~*~ “I'm finished! Joy, are you done?" "Uh-Uhm. I'm almost done! It's pretty? Isn't it?" "Yes, it is! Come on, put that on me and I'll put this on you too." "Sure." "Joy, if the day comes when we will be adopted separately, don't you dare to forget me, huh?" "Of course. Why would I forget you? We are best friends, right? And best friends never forget each other. You too, Kevin. Promise me that you will forget me. That you will always remember me. That's all I want. Just promise me. If you are going to leave before me, promise me that you will come back here for me. Okay?" "Of course. I will. I will come back to you, Joy." "Promise??" "Promise!" ~*~ "Joy, what if someday we would be apart like them?" Kevin asks me while we are here insider in the tree-house, looking out the window and eyeing at children like us being adopted by the childless couples. "When that day comes, that we need to get separated like them, I will not cry," "Why?" "Because we're still seeing each other, right? You will come to me and I will come to you. And no matter how different life we ​​maybe get someday, I am still, Joy, your friend who will bring you happiness to you. " "I hope we're friends until we die." "Of course!" ~*~ "Don't cry, Kevin. Remember, I told you, we will meet and see each other again. Promise me, you'll come back here to me, okay? I will wait for you." "I promise, Joy. I will come back here. I will go to visit you, so wait for me." "I will wait for you." We hug each other before we will part ways. ~*~ "Hiro? What are you doing here—" "I'm sorry. I'm late." "H-Hiro..." "Joy..." "H-Hiro..." "No. I'm not Hiro. I'm Kevin." "H-Huh?" "K-Kevin," "Is... Is this really you?" "Yeah. It's me." "I missed you. I missed you so much." "Me too. I missed you too, Joy. I really missed you. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you right away. I'm sorry." "No. You don't have to be sorry. What matters right now, is that you remember me. Please, don't forget me again. Don't leave me again." "I won't leave you. Never again, Joy. I promised and this time I will fulfill my promise to you." ~*~ I gasped as I remembered the times when Joy and I were children and the two of us were together. I really miss her so much. We made a promise that we would never forget each other but I forgot her. We promised that we would never be separated again but we separated again. And it was because of me. It was all my fault again. She must hate me. I heaved a sigh again as I sat down on the wooden chair. I wonder where is she now. What is she doing? Is he thinking of me too? Is she looking for me too? But is she alive? Somewhere in my mind whispered. No. No, she's not dead. She's not. She is alive. Joy is alive. I looked at my bracelet and touched it. "Where are you Joy? I miss you. I miss you so much. I'm sorry." I whispered and I couldn't help but teared up. All of a sudden, my moment was ruined when my phone beeps. I took it in my pocket and looked at the phone screen to check who texted me. It was Nathalia. I open her message. "I've found something. Come over!" —
