"How can you do this to me, David?! How can you cheat on me when we already have kids?! I expected you to stay loyal to me, at least! I expected you to take care of my trust, but what did you do?! You broke it!"

What is your greatest expectation when you entered a relationship? Of course, to take care of the trust that you built for your partner.

Tita Jennaflor looked so weak while she was shouting over her phone. She didn't mind her students, who were watching her broke down in front of them. In front of us. She was crying while furiously shouting at her husband through her phone, who she caught cheating on her. Tita Jennaflor's brother informed her about Tito David's mistress when he visited Tito David at his workplace. He caught him cheating on his sister in the Philippines, where we all thought that he was working for his family, but turned out cheating on Tita Jennaflor.

All of her students went out of the dance room to give her privacy while Alena, Nora, Lila, and I stayed to give comfort to her. Lila already called Joseph to come over when Tita Jennaflor started to break down earlier. Tita Jennaflor just found out about her husband's mistress through her phone, where her brother called her.

I turned my gaze at the door when it opened in a harsh way. I immediately stood properly when I saw Joseph standing there while trying to catch his breath like he ran here for his mother. His eyes roamed around the room and when he saw his mother on the floor, crying loudly, he immediately ran towards her and hugged her tightly, making Tita Jennaflor's cried louder than earlier.

"I'm here... I'm here, Mommy... Hush..." Joseph softly spoke as he tried to give comfort to his mother, who was continuously crying while shouting over her phone.

"He cheated... He cheated on me... He cheated..." Tita Jennaflor mumbled between her sobs.

"Hush now, Mom... Please..." Joseph's voice broke as I saw tears slowly formed in his eyes while seeing his mother cried in front of him.

For years, I admired Tita Jennaflor the most. She never let anyone drags her down. Instead, she drags them down. She never shows her weak side. She never let anyone see her grumbles even if she needs to. Even if she wants to. She always shows how elegant she is in every situation she is in. But look where she is now, crying on the floor, shouting her husband's name, who cheated on her.

Why do people cheat? I just can't understand. Why do they need to cheat if they just can tell to their partners that they fell out of love or that they love someone else now? Why do they need to cheat if they can cut ties with their partners before putting themselves in a new relationship? That's much better than cheating. That will be better for the both of them.

Tita Jennaflor went to the Philippines with Kuya Alfie, leaving Joseph with Yuna and Shae in Los Angeles. Biglaan ang pag-uwi nila kaya hindi na rin sinama ni Tita Jennaflor sina Yuna at Shae, dahilan nang pagpa-iwan ni Joseph para may kasama ang mga kapatid niya. Alam kong may iba pang rason si Joseph kaya siya nagpa-iwan. Alam kong ayaw niya lang makita si Tito David dahil sa nalaman niya at dahil sa rason kung bakit biglaan ang pag-uwi ni Tita Jennaflor at Kuya Alfie sa Pilipinas. He doesn't want to witness the confrontation that will happen once they arrived in the Philippines.

Ayaw niya dahil kahit anong mangyari, magulang niya ang mga 'yon at mahal niya ang mga ito.

I couldn't reach Joseph for days. Sabi naman ni Lila ay palagi lang din naman siyang nasa bahay at hindi magsasalita kung hindi kailangan. She also told me that Joseph was trying his best to cover her mother's absent presence amongst his sisters. Lila assured me that she's taking care of Joseph while he was taking care of his sisters. Gusto ko man na pumunta at bisitahin siya ay hindi ko magawa dahil alam kong mas gugustuhin niyang mapag-isa ngayon.
