Ms. Rio Locsin as Lina Ohales (Tanya's mother)

-

The next day, their 1st day as a couple, Tanya was so happy that she woke up earlier than she usually does.

Tanya happily walked downstairs and her mother can notice her glow.

"Nak?"

Tanya started to put her tumbler on the side of her bag.

"Po? Yes, mi?"

"Are you in a relationship?"

Tanya stopped from what she was doing, she looked at her mother. "Oh, mi. You're straightforward. Pwede po bang 'good morning' muna?".

"Bakit? May mali ba sa tanong ko?"

"Nothing but....", she walked closer to her who was sitting in the dining area. She put her hands on her mother's shoulders.

"What would you feel if I say I am?", Tanya asked which made her mother glare at her.

"Yes. I am, mi", Tanya happily whispered.

"When can I meet him?"

"Let's see when you can meet HER. We're busy pa rin kasi e."

"It's a 'her'?" Elizabeth looked at her.

"Yes, mom", she replied with a smile.

She took off her hands on her mother's shoulders and spoke, "Bye, Alis na po ako". She left her emotionless mother.

After Tanya left, Jose walked downstairs.

"Good morning", the couple greeted each other.

Elizabeth let Jose first make his coffee before she talked. "Valentina's in a relationship".

"Do you plan on breaking them up?", he asked as he placed his mug on the table.

"Hindi", Lina replied, examining Jose's reaction.

"Aalis din naman tayo ng bansa after her college. It won't last that long, Eliz."

Lina just nodded as a response.

Tanya wanted to go to the campus with Sandy but the latter refused as their house were far from each other. But she left their house real earlier than she usually does so that she can visit Sandy. Their class hours will start in the afternoon.

Sandy heard her doorbell ring while she was eating her breakfast. After a minute, she heard the person knock. She stood up to open the door only to see Tanya.

"What are you doing here?!", Sandy exclaimed in happiness.

Tanya opened her arms and Sandy threw herself in.

"I missed you," Sandy said while feeling Tanya's embrace. The former chortled and spoke. "Sandy, we just saw each other last night. Miss mo kagad ako?"

"Of course, I missed you," Sandy replied and then she parted their hug.

Tanya held Sandy's hand while slowly swaying it. "Can we together sa campus?", Sandy asked.

"Kaya nga ako nandito e," Tanya replied and then Sandy led her to the dining area.

Tanya joined Sandy in eating her breakfast, she waited for her to get ready, and then she drove off the house together with Sandy.
