Cedric is in his room sitting on his bed while facing his laptop and looking at Aubrielle's picture on facebook damn he missed her already he have her phone number and he can chat her on his social media account but he cant. He doesnt want to be distracted while he is in the middle of running the business baka lalo lang niya itong ma miss so what he did is he blocked her and delete her number because he knew that Aubrielle will chat,call,or text him kahit labag sa kalooban niya ay kailangan niyang gawin.

CEDRIC:Im sorry Baby,I'll explain when the right time comes..

Pabulong na sabi ng binata saka sinara ang kanyang laptop.

FAST FORWARD..AFTER ONE MONTH..RIVERA'S MANSION YEAR 2009..

Halos mabaliw na si Aubrielle sa kaiisip kung bakit bigla nalang umalis si Cedric na wala man lang pasabi palagi niyang tinatanong sa sarili kung ano bang nagawa niyang mali na bigla nalang siya nitong iniwan.A week after the graduation she understand why his boyfriend didnt call or text him because he might be busy pero umabot nalang ang dalawang linggo ay wala pa ring Cedric na nagparamdam sa kanya kaya naisipan niya itong puntahan sa kanila pero ang sabi lang ni Manang Florencia sa kanya ay umalis na ito ng Pilipinas.

Simula ng araw na iyon ay palagi nalang siyang nalulungkot at umiiyak kadalasang umiinom mag-isa at iyon ang ginagawa niya ngayon saka naabutan siya ni Sariah sa mini bar.
