Greggy is depress and longing for Irene and Celestine's love, eversince that his mag-ina left, Greggy distance himself to anyone specially to Bettany, not even a month when Irene and Celestine left, he saw Bettany being laid on by a random guy. After all those times, Bettany is just using him to get rid of Irene, now Greggy is on their house in Forbes, not having any idea on when will Irene and Celestine go back home, and when will his mag-ina go back to his arms.
"Greggy mag agahan ka muna, pumapayat ka na oh" Ellen said to Greggy "kayo nalang ni Cassy manang ang kumain wala po akong gana" Greggy said before closing his newspaper, he never uses his phone except for last month when he have a chance to have a conversation with Celestine
He misses them, he regretted all of his actions, he wanted them back but he don't know where they are, he tried asking his Nephew, Santiago, to tell him where Irene and Celestine is but he chooses not to in order not to anger Irene.
"Greggy please kumain ka muna, sabayan mo na kami" Ellen said "sabing ayaw ko nga po" Greggy stubbornly said "tito Greggy, kain ka na, nag text sa akin si Celestine kanina na nandito daw sila ngayon sa manila" Cassy said and that caught Greggy's attention "dito, as in ngayon, nasaan sila, gusto ko silang puntahan" Greggy said to her "shet" Cassy muttered under her breath
"Po may sinabi po ba akong nandito sila, diba tita wala akong sinabi, baka gutom nyo lang yan tito" Cassy denied "narinig ko yun hija tell me nasaan sila" Greggy asked her and Ellen raised a brow "tito naman eh, baka magalit si Celestine sa akin niyan" Cassy said "please I'm begging you, I want to see them kaya tell me nasaan sila" Greggy pleaded
"Fine…nasa BGC po sila, sa bench tower para sa isang event" Cassy said and Greggy immediately stand up "Hep…hep…hep Gregorio, hindi ka aalis ng hindi nakain" Ellen said and Greggy get a pancake and began eating, "manang I haven't see them foe two years sa tingin mo may nagbago kaya sa kanila" Greggy asked them and Ellen just smiled at him
"Their appearance may change but for sure walang nagbago sa attitude nila" Ellen said while pouring an orange juice on Greggy's cup, Greggy drank the juice and wiped his mouth before standing "I'm done eating manang I'll go na po, I can't wait to see them, kahit hindi ko sila makausap atleast I can see a glimpse of the both of them" Greggy said and Ellen threw the table napkin on his face
"You're going to BGC na naka pajama" Ellen asked him in disbelief "yes, why can't I, anak ko nga naglalakad sa bgc na naka tsinelas tapos oversized shirt at shorts" Greggy said "atleast naligo siya, maligo ka muna Gregorio" Ellen said and Greggy immediately run to his and Irene's bedroom
Meanwhile, at the house in San Juan, Celestine was the first one to wake up, she decided to go in the garden when she saw Leo sitting in a bench holding his wallet with a picture "good morning tito Leo" Celestine greeted him "Goodmorning din, upo ka" Leo said as he stand up "n-no tito don't stand up, just because I'm a girl" Celestine said to him and she sat next to him
"Sino yung nasa wallet mo" Celestine asked him "I know we aren't that close but I'm a little bit curious about your biography" Celestine said "those are my daughters, si Sylvia and Mae" He said sadly and Celestine's narrow eyes went wide "yung anak ni tita Bettany" Celestine asked him
"Bettany is my ex-wife, we got separated when she slept with my classmate" Leo said sadly "my daughter Sylvia is 6 and mae was just 4 when Bettany took them away from me, nilayo niya sa akin yung mga anak ko" Leo said to Celestine
"Do you know why I became friends with your mom" Leo said and Celestine shooked her head as no "When I found out about your father's relationship with Bettany, I thought that Irene can be a way so I can see my children again" Leo said while tears are flowing from his eyes
"That's all I ever wanted in my life, but it turns out that I'll fell in love with Irene" He said to Celestine "why didn't you confess" Celestine asked him "because I'm scared…I'm scared to risk our friendship just because of my feelings" Leo admitted "I loved a person who only sees me as a friend or an older brother" Leo said
"Your mom still love your dad, and I can't force someone to love back just because of this feelings" Leo said to Celestine "and our friendship is more important than my love, Irene is a good person who've been in so much pain ayaw kong dumagdag pa" Leo said to Celestine "sabihin mo torpe ka lang, did you know, I'm actually thankful that you came to mommy's life, because eversince she met you, doon ko lang ulit siya nakitang ngumiti ng sobrang genuine, at first akala ko my relationship kayo ni mommy other that friends kaya masyado akong nailang sayo" Celestine said to him
"Understandable naman kung mailang ka, you grew up na halos yung tatay mo lang yung nalapit sa mommy mo, doon ka nasanay kaya, hindi ka sanay na may lalaki na ganito ka close kay Irene" Leo said while wiping his tears away from his eyes "alam ko na Celestine, why don't you go nalang mamaya, sa amin ni Irene, bring ferdie with you, we're going to BGC for an event" Leo said to Celestine "well that's not a bad idea, I'll just change, and tito I enjoyed a conversation with you" Celestine said before standing up and went inside
On the other hand, Greggy is now preferring, he don't care if he can't talk to his mag-ina, he's contented if he just see them without seeing him, after preferring he immediately go to his car and began driving, he checked the time and it's already 10:30 am in the morning

He saw the guy gave something to Celestine making Celestine smile so wide and hug him really tight, a sudden jealousy attacked Greggy, he saw Irene approached them and Greggy was shock when he saw the baby on her arms, Irene greeted Leo with a beso "I guess she really moved on" Greggy said while holding back as he watched his mag-ina enjoy with the new guy, he smiled bitterly while watching them "it's your lost Greggy, so suffer" he said while watching
