Zimmerman's Residence...

Emmeline together with Hansley just got home from the check-up and chemotherapy emmeline was a little bit pale and has no energy but she manage to flash a sweet smile as soon as they open the door and saw her daughter walking to their direction wearing her angelic smile. Smile that always brighten their day indeed Zoey is their Heroine From God.

"Hi mom and dad, how was your day?" She asked her parents as she gave them a cheek kiss

"Mom are you okay? You look so pale? Tired?" She hug her mom sideways

"I'm okay sweetheart, you gave mommy her pill na already which is your warm hug and kiss, hmm I love you", emmeline planted a kiss on her forehead

"Your mom is just tired, okay? Nothing to worry about hmm I smell some sinigang did you cook?" Hansley asked her as she knows her daughter very well, a brilliant one who analyze things that are happening around her

"Yes dad, come on let's eat so that you both can rest already"

"Sweetie?"

"Yes mom?"

"What do you think let's go to Ilocos already?"

"Really mom?"

"Ofcourse sweetie, do you want to have a vacation there?"

"I don't want it mom.... Because I love it so much, thank you mom" she showered her mom with a lot of kisses.

They all then went to the dining area as they all eat their dinner and have the rest already as it was been a great day for Zoey but an exhausting day for her parents.

Araneta's Residence...

"Hi mom and dad, good evening" Luis and Xandra greeted them as soon a they arrive which shock Irene

"What are you both doing here? I thought you're busy luis"

"I was mom but I can step that aside for you, did you eat? Xandra cook for our dinner"

"That's great brother, I'm starving already. Mom said she'll cook as she don't want to eat ordered foods again, gladly Xandra save the night" alfonso uttered as she caress her tummy

They're all happily eating while having a conversation on how are they and what are the things they're doing lately, a little catch up when Irene's phone suddenly ring and it flash the name of Mrs. Imelda.

"Continue eating, I'll excuse myself first. It's your Mamu Meldy who's calling" she then proceeded at the sala and answer the phone.

"Hello Ma"

"Hello Irene, how are you anak?"

"I'm good Ma, how about you? Its already late you should be resting already."

"I'm good anak, I just want to tell you to pack your things and let's go home to Ilocos have our vacation. You're all been busy up lately, miss ko na kayo at mga apo."

"I miss you too Ma, sorry babawi kami. Expect us and your apo's to come Ma, when will be leaving?"

"In two days, I hope that's enough for all of you to finish your work. We'll go to ilocos no works, tell that to your husband and my apo's"

"Yes Ma, I'll tell the kids. Have your rest already, good night. I love you"

As the call ended, she went back to the dining area as she rely the message Imelda just told her about the Vacation. They all nodded in agreement since they can't do anything when it's Imelda who suggested it anyway, If there's one person who can probably change Imelda's mind it would be Irene but for Irene she also want to go at ilocos to breath and most importantly she's hoping that emmeline was there.
