Mom: Son... What time are you coming home?
Lorenzo: Late I'm still with the boys Why, do you need anything?
Mom: No naman. I was wondering lang. Can you contact Amelia for me?
Lorenzo: Tita Amelia? For what?
Mom: I want to talk to her... It won't make any difference now and I know it's long overdue but I want to try. You're close with her so I was wondering if you still talk?
Lorenzo: We do but she's not in the Philippines She's in New York now
Mom: Ayos lang. Pupuntahan ko siya.
Lorenzo: Alone?
Mom: I won't ask you to come, don't worry hijo. I know you have a life here.
Lorenzo: Let me think this through first, Mom I'm not sure if Tita Amelia will appreciate this
Mom: Okay son. I want to talk to Eleanor too, if that's possible.
Lorenzo: Why only now? Why so suddenly?
Mom: I need to live right to be your mom, anak. I want to be your mom. I have the chance now but I can't do that unless I take accountability for my actions first.
Lorenzo: Alright :) I'll give you all the support that you need I'll talk to Benj and see what we can do
Mom: Thanks, anak.

Lorenzo: Busy?
Neve: Medyo. Nag-pu-proof ako ng manuscript. Whyie?
Lorenzo: I was wondering if we could talk
Neve: About sa'n? Parang nakakakaba naman 'yan 😬
Lorenzo: Haha it's not that serious It's about Mom She wants to go to the US to talk to my dad's wife and apologize, I think I don't know when she's planning to leave or how long she'll be there. I don't want her to go there alone but I wanna hear your thoughts if you're okay with this
Neve: 'Di mo naman need magpaalam sa 'kin, Big Boss. Tingin ko rin mas okay kung sasamahan mo siya para hindi naman siya mag-isang haharap doon.
Lorenzo: You think so? I could be gone for a while We might leave immediately
Neve: Okay lang naman. Para din naman sa 'yo 'yan at ito na rin yung chance para mas magkaunawaan kayo ng mama mo.
