This is the first night Cairo will sleep without his husband since they got married. They're always together in roadtrips, get-away with friends and even at work. Yes, they work together on a coffee shop owned by Cairo's parents. Cai stopped crying and started to feel hopeful.

"Baby, matutulog na ako ha. Sigurado naman akong bukas uuwi ka na." he said as he was hugging Gav's pillow.

His alarm rang at 6:00 am. He went straight up and checked the comfort room but no one's there. Later on, he heard someone's unlocking the gate so he excitedly ran hoping it was his husband. 

"Oh, anak, pasensya na binuksan ko na ha. Kanina pa kasi ako kumakatok."
Yes. It's not his husband, rather  it's her mother bringing him breakfast.

Mommy Lyn: Nak, sorry alam ko nagaalala ka kay Gav pero kasi aalis kami ng Daddy mo. Ako kailangan ko puntahan yung isang branch sa Tagaytay tumawag kasi...

Cai: Ma, sshhh. Okay na. I get it. Don't worry. Kaya ko naman pumasok no. I'm good at this.
Mommy Lyn: Thank you nak ha. O, sya mauna na ako.

CAIRO POV:
"Ganun naman talaga diba? It's our family business. Kung wala yun, Gav and I won't have our own house, car and everything na meron kami. Kaya, walang time para magmukmok. Babalik din yun mamaya. Di niya matitiis yung buhay na wala ako. Alam ko yun. Parati nyang sinasabi yon na he can't live w/o me. Na, he's nothing w/o me."

Cairo arrived at their coffee shop and their employees greeeted him with.

"Good morning Sir Cai. Saan po si Sir Gav?"
Cairo did not answer and pretended calling someone over the phone.
He hates this scenario.
He always come to their shop smiling and greeting everyone.

Gav: Eh ano nalang sasabihin ng mga empleyado nyong may mataas na credentials? Samantalang ako? Gamer lang ako noon.

Cai: Baby, understood na yun. Asawa kita. Lahat ng meron ako, sayo nadin yun.

Gav: Yun na nga eh. Ikaw lang yung may mabibigay sakin. Ako? Wala.

Cai: Baby, makinig ka. Kakaumpisa palang naman nito diba and we need to promote it well? Kaya I need your gamer charm. Diba may YT channel ka saka FB page na madaming followers? I-convert nalang natin yun to Before noon. Tapos don ka mag-vlog!

Gav: Sabagay, tama ka dyan baby.

Cai: Diba? Saka anong walang mabibigay? Yung buo mong pagmamahal, yung pagintindi mo lalo na kapag mainit ulo ko. Saka ito. Itong suporta na gagawin mo at pagsama sakin sa negosyong 'to. Napakalaking bagay na yun. Okay?

Gav: Thanks baby. I love you.

Cai: I love you too baby.

Cairo was trying to hold back his tears.
He realized that he's in the office and no one must know what's happening. He composed himself and went out. He smiled like there's nothing  wrong. He gathered his staff for a short meeting.

Cairo: Okay guys, you all know that our Tagaytay branch has a new competitor. That really affects our sales. Dahil dyan, we need to get better here. Kailangan ng matinding promotion.

Staff 2: Oo nga po. Dun tayo nakakakuha ng malaking sales.
