"Excuse me po, kayo po ba si Mayari Jeon?" napatingin si Mayari sa guwardyang may dala-dalang bouquet of flowers.

"Ako nga po kuya. Bakit po?" nagtatakang tanong ni Mayari.

"Ah. Nag deliver kasi yung flower shop. Sabi para sa inyo daw po. Bayad na din po" sabi ng guwardya at ibinigay kay Mayari ang mga bulaklak.

"Naku! Thank you kuya! Kaso dapat tinanong niyo sa nag deliver kung sino nagpapabigay" sabi ni Mayari sa guwardya.

"Ay siya sige! Pag may nagdala uli tatanungin ko" sabi ng guwaryda at nagpaalam na kina Mayari para bumalik na sa kanyang trabaho.

"Kanino galing yan?" tanong ni Autumn sa dalaga.

'Bouquet of lily of the valley and 15 red roses'

Nakita ni Mayari na may card na nakalagay at binasa ang laman nito.

Lyvia,

I never intended to hurt your feelings. I even promised myself to give you happiness and safety when I am with you. I want to let you know how much disappointed I am in giving you melancholic and possessiveness while living in my abode, instead of joy and comfort I struck in a stone.

"He wants to apologize" Mayari said loud enough for the her friends sitting in their table to hear.

"Who wants to apologize?" Autumn curiously asked.

"Theodore" Elora simply said to Autumn.

"Well, what does it say?" Marga asked Mayari.

"I never intended to hurt your feelings. I even promised myself to give you happiness and safety when I am with you. I want to let you know how much disappointed I am in giving you melancholic and possessiveness while living in my abode, instead of joy and comfort I struck in a stone"

"Patawarin mo na! One month na kayong hindi nag-uusap oh" nasamid naman si Autumn sa sinabi ni Elora.

"You didn't talk to him for a month?" Mayari shyly nodded.

"The pride of a Salvatori male will always be on the trash when it comes to their significant other" mahinang sabi ni Autumn na bukod tanging siya lang ang nakakarinig at napatingin sa table na pinupwestuhan ng kanyang kasintahan at mga pinsan.

'Sabi na. Naku Theodore! Patay na patay ka na talaga!' napailing na lang si Autumn at humarap muli sa kanyang mga kaibigan.

"Did she received it?" tanong ni Cygnus kay Theo na nakatitig kay Mayari.

"Oo"

"Buti naman. Paano naman yung mga pinamili mo?" tanong ni Vlad sa kanyang kapatid.

"Mamaya pa lang ako pupunta ng jewelry store. Kukunin ko yung inorder ko sa kanila" simpleng sagot ni Theo.

"I didn't expect for you to order bouquet of flowers sa pinaka mahal na flower shop dito" napatingin si Cygnus kay Vlad.

"Magkano ba binayad ni Theo dun?"

"Two thousand pesos ata I dunno" tinapik ni Cygnus si Theo na nakatingin pa rin kay Mayari.

"Two thousand? For the flowers? Ano yan may ginto? Theo seryoso ka?" Cygnus asked.

"Well, she deserves it though"

"Di ko kayang gumastos ng ganyan" sabi ni Cygnus.

"Kuya, nagtaka ka pa. Nakakapag waldas nga yan ng ten thousand pesos para lang sa damit ni Mayari. Nagtaka ka pa sa two thousand worth of bouquet?" sabi naman ni Knox sa kanyang kapatid.
