Everything went back to normal. The Digosman family said their apologies for the trouble their relatives did. Nabawasan narin ang mga guardya naka bantay sa bahay. Lolo immediately went back to the province to take care of our business.

While dad is back to work. Minsan nang nag pupunta si Thorn aa bahay at maguusap sila ni dad sa kanyang office sometimes it would take hours before their meeting is done.

Troy was re-assigned I don't know where hindi naman kasi niya sinabi nag paalam lang siya sa akin and he wanted to treat me for dinner tonight and I already agreed.

I started painting again. I have my next exhibit next month and momy is helping me planning it.

Nasa studio ako ng bahay at nagpipinta ng pumasok si Thorn.

"Tapos na kayo ni, Dad?"

I will only paint five canvas.

"Hmm...yes." he stood up beside me at tinignan ang aking ginagawa. He roamed his eyes around my studio and went to my hanging paintings inisaisa niya itong tinitigan.
He was out to see the other one when he almost trip because of the canvas that was covered with drapery.

He picks it up and it was too late to stop him, he already saw the painting.

A smirk forms on his lips.

"Your that obsessed with me?" He commented.

"Hindi no... I did not paint that."

Lumapit siya sa akin. Napaatras ako sa gulat ng yumuko siya  at nag pantay ang aking mukha.

"Really? Then who did?"

"Hindi ko a-alam..."

Nag iwas ako ng tingin at bahagyang tinulak siya. He chuckled.

"Ako...alam ko."

Ngumuso ako at tinulak na talaga siya. He chuckled at my reaction.

"You're acting guilty, Dalhia."

"I'm not..."

He raised his brows and made face.

"Sabi mo, "mapanuya niya aniya.

"Labas ka nga."

He chuckled and shake his hand.

"No, no... I'll behave."

"Tawang tuwa, Thorn?!?"

He only chuckled. Umopo ito sa tabi ko at pinanood ang aking ginagawa.

"Thorn?"

"Hmm?"

I bite my lower lip.

"The thing is, Troy invites me to dinner. Is that okay with you?" I asked.

Natahimik siya at hindi ako sinagot. I turn to him and saw him staring at me like  his thinking. 

"Just the two of you?", He sounded dangerous.

"Yes... Ma re assign na kasi siya. He wants to treat me for dinner one last time...pero kumg ayaw m-"

He reaches for my hand.

"Just make sure you'll come back to me."

I give him an assuring smile and lean in for a kiss.

Umuwi si Thorn bandang alas tres na ng hapon. I finish my painting at four. Nag tungo ako sa aking kwarto para mag ayos. I was done at five fourthy Seven at nasa living room na si Troy nag hihintay.
