I'm in my office signing some papers when my phone suddenly rang.

"Hello?" I said in a very serious tone.

"Sir, nahanap ko na po yung nanakit kay ma'am Irene." says from the other line, I clenched my fist as I heard him uttered those words.

"Good job, you know what to do." I said firmly.

"Patahimikin na ba 'to, sir?" He asked.

"No, wag niyo namang patayin, just let him pay what he did to my wife, not money but same hurt he made my wife felt, physically and mentally." Greggy uttered.

"Copy sir." He replied as I ended the call.

Don't mess with the Marcos's and Araneta's.

I decided to call Irene to check her.

"Hello hun?" I started as soon as she picked up her phone.

"Hi love, how are you? Why'd you call?" she uttered sweetly.

"I just want to check on you, I'm okay. How are you?" I asked her as I leaned to my swivel chair.

"I'm okay naman, how's work? Did you eat lunch na?" She asked softly.

"Always tiring, I need to hear your voice so I could regain my energy..." I said softly.

"Hmm, should I feel kilig or what?" She asked jokingly.

"Of course you should and yes, I already ate lunch, I hope you ate already too." I answered, softly giggling, she laugh, her laugh is a music to my ears.

"I did, okay I won't bother you on your work na so you could finish it. I'll see you later." She affirms.

"Okay, don't get yourself tired huh, I'll see you later too my love... I love you." I said, smiling.

"I won't, likewise. I love you more, byebye!" She said as she hang up the call, I smiled after our call, t'was indeed motivated me.

I'm in Ateneo already, it's already lunch time, Clea, Bethany and I were casually talking and we were startled when a guy went to our table.

"Hi, tine!" he exclaimed.

I looked at him wondering, "H-hi, who are you?" I asked right away.

Beth and Clea looked at me, their eyes widened. The guy looked at them as if asking them.

"I-it's L-liam." He uttered as he smiled dismayed.

"O-oh, sorry I don't remember you and if you still not inform, I have a post-traumatic amnesia." I replied as I formed an awkward smile on my face.

I can see the surprised look on his face, "I-it's okay, ano kaba. Kumusta?" He asked, casually.

"Good, I guess.." I plainly said as I continue to eat.

"That's nice, mauna na muna ako." He said as he smile to me and to Beth and Clea, I nodded as I also smile lightly as he left.

"I really can't remember him.." I told Beth and Clea as soon as the guy left, Clea and Beth looked at each other as them urned their gaze back to me.

"He's a close friend of yours." Beth said calmly, I began to wonder as I tried to remember him but end up remembering nothing.

I sighed as I finish my food. We were on our way to our classroom already, right time because the bell rang when we reached our classroom.
