"Mita!" Kate exclaim as soon as she saw her grandmother entering the room, she put down her mug and runs to her.

"My favorite apo!" Imelda replies and accepts her in her arms for a tight hug. The others also stood up to greet Imelda with a hug and kiss, she also hug Luis and Alfonso tightly, she missed them.

After a couple of greetings, she walked towards where Imee is laying down. She caress her daughter's forehead and planted a soft kiss on it.

The magpipinsan, decided to excuse their selves from the oldies. Nagkayayaan silang pumunta sa Starbucks since Greggy gave them a money for snack. When they arrived at the shop, they directly ordered and find an unoccupied table to sit in.

They were talking and catching up since it has been awhile since they last did this kind of bonding, asking the Araneta boys how's their life in California vice-versa.

"How about you Kate, how are you? How's your studies so far, baka naman may boyfriend kana?" Michael ask his cousin who's currently doing her usual thing, reading a book with her coffee. Kate glance at them as soon as she heard her name being mentioned.

"Good, my studies are good. Recognition ko na this coming week and I'm the highest, now tell me saan ko ii-insert yung time para sa relationship?" Kate replied seriously, she's known as the solemn one, she has this personality that every lawyer has.

"Kate.. I've never said this before but if you'll get a boyfriend you will break our heart." Alfonso uttered softly which made Kate gaze at him.

"Ang drama mo naman, kuya.." Kate softly replied as she chuckles.

"Totoo yun, you're our only princess kaya tapos may aagaw na iba? Well maybe, pag 30's or 40's kana pwede na." Matthew interjected playfully.

Kate chuckles, she'd been aware that she's the only princess but she wasn't aware that her cousins are much more strict than her own father.

"Nalalamangan niyo sa si Daddy sa pagka-strict, alam niyo kuyas, why don't you all make bantay nalang kay Mia wag na ako lol." Kate suggested, the boys looked at each other and shook their head.

"Look, she's the only girl - oh no, meron pala si kuya Luis, there the two girls na mga pamangkin niyo kayo magbantay!" Kate told them, the just all laugh and thinks about what Kate uttered.

"Nah! You can't tell us what to do, where older than you Atty. Araneta!" Borgy sarcastically professed, Kate raise her brow.

"That should be your permanent last name." Sandro added.

"Wow ha, desisyon kayo? Palit tayo, ano?" Kate profoundly said, she looked at all of her cousins.

"But yeah, Alfy's right, if you'll get a boyfriend you will break our heart." Simon contends as he pouts.

"Stop pouting, hindi bagay manong Simon." Kate joyously muttered.
