WE ARE inside Sandro's office, kakagaling lang namin ng infirmary.

Ginamot lang 'yong tuhod ko at binigyan ako ng ice pack para sa pisngi.

"Are you okay, Althea?" Vinny asked, he shoved food on his mouth.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Just make sure na she can't come here anymore. Okay. Thank you." Sandro was talking sa phone.

Kumatok naman si Simon sa pintuan.

"Hi."

"Simon, please come in. We need to talk." Sandro said.

"I just want to apologize to Althea, about what Lily did to you."

He looked at me. I gave him a faint smile.

"Where is she?" Sandro asked.

"Pinauwi ko muna, I'm going to talk to--"

"We will press charges against her." Sandro said.

Nagulat naman ako.

"What?" Simon was shocked as well.

"What she did to Althea is unacceptable, Simon."

"I know, I know, but can we atleast talk about it?"

He sat down sa harapan ni Sandro.

"Please, Sandro, can we atleast talk about it."

Nakayuko lang akong nakikinig sa kanila.

What Lily did was traumatizing pero I won't let her get to me.

"I think, that's Althea's decision." Sandro said. They all looked at me.

Ayokong humarap kasi pakiramdam ko namamaga ang mukha ko.

Ayoko ding tingnan si Sandro, kinakabahan ako kapag nakatingin siya sa'kin.

"Althea?" Sandro called me.

I looked at him at bumabagal siya sa paningin ko.

Lumalakas ang kabog ng puso ko.

Pwede ba 'yong ganito?

"Uh... what she did was traumatizing pero as long as I don't get to see her anymore, I don't have to press any charges sa kanya."

Sandro nodded.

"Thank you, Althea." Simon held my hand.

Wala akong maramdaman.

Lord, anong nangyayari?

"We will make sure that she will never step inside this office anymore." Sandro said.

"Okay! That settles then!" Bigla naman nagsalita si Vinny.

"Let's talk about Dad's conference in Cebu this week." He said.

"What conference?" Simon asked.

"Dad is scheduled to have a conference in Cebu with Gov. Gwen but since his plate is full he asked us to go there instead." Sandro answered him.

"Correct."

"So, when are we going?" Tanong naman ni Vinny.

"The day after tomorrow." Vinny answered.

"And, Althea, you are coming with us." Sandro said, I looked at him and nakangiti siya.

I nodded.

Ayokong magpahalata.

Kailangan ko muna i-confirm 'to.

Pagdating namin ng Cebu, agad kaming sinalubong ng mga tauhan ni Gov.

It's the first time na ang mga anak ni BBM ang aattend ng conference para sa kanya.

We arrived at her office and she was so welcoming.

Ang ganda at ang bait pa.

"Hello, Gov. Gwen Garcia, kamusta po kayo? I am Sandro--"

"Oh I know who you are guys. No need for formalities."

She was cheerful.

"Come... let's get inside and have coffee."

"Althea, let's go?" Sandro said as he reaches for my hand.

"Oh, is this your girlfriend?" Gov. Gwen asked.

"Uh she's--" Sandro was interrupted.

"She's Sandro's PA" Si Simon ang sumagot.

Nagtinginan naman kami ni Sandro.

"Oh. Hello, you can stay sa lobby muna, ha. We have something important to discuss."

I nodded at Gov. Gwen.

"I'll see you later." Sandro said and pumasok na sila.

Nagikot-ikot naman ako sa lobby banda.

"I guess, hindi ka taga dito?" I looked and it was this beautiful woman.

She was morena pero parang super model.

I smiled at her.

"I saw kanina na kasama mo 'yong mga anak ni BBM." She said.

Sino ba 'to?

"Uh... May I ask kung sino ka?"

"I'm Janea, Sandro's ex-girlfriend."

She said with a straight face.

May naramdaman akong kaba.

"Are you his new girlfriend?" She asked me.

Kumalma naman ako.

"Althea, Sandro's PA." I reached my hand to her.

Naglighten naman 'yong expressions niya sa mukha.

"Oh. I thought you're his new girlfriend."

"No.... Just the PA."

Bakit may naramdaman akong kirot?

Si Simon 'yong willow man ko. Hindi si Sandro.

"So how's my baby?" She asked.

I looked around.

Anong baby? May baby na siya?

Ba't niya sa akin hinahanap 'yong baby niya?

I looked confused.

"I meant Sandro. How is he?"

Luh, baby ka dyan.

Dami naman chix nitong si Sandro.

"Althea.."

Both of us looked back.

Nagulat naman si Sandro when he saw Janea.

"Hi, baby" She said

"Janea... what are you doing here?"

"Of course, I came here to see you." Lumapit naman siya kay Sandro at niyakap ito.

He looked at me pero umiwas ako ng tingin.

Hindi ko alam bakit ako nasasaktan.

Hindi naman ganito kasakit kapag nakikita ko si Lily at Simon.

Pero bakit ganito kay Sandro?
