“How was your trip?” Mr. Laxamana asks Aya. “Sobrang saya po sir, nakasama din po namin Kapatid ko for some time” Aya says as they have breakfast. “Ah how are your parents hija?” Mrs. Laxamana asks. “Ok naman po sila busy din with the café bar” Aya says. “Good morning everyone” Mave says excitedly joining them for breakfast. “Mavey anak” Mrs. Laxamana says as she stands and hugs her daughter. “Good of you to join us” Mr. Laxamana says with a smile. “It's a beautiful morning so why not” Mave says looking across the table at Aya. “Seems like you really have a good influence on our daughter” Mrs. Laxamana says. “She does Mom” Mave says starting to eat. Mr. Laxamana just observes the both of them.
“Tara” Mave says waiting for Aya at her bedroom door. “Huh? Hindi ka pa umaalis?” Aya says surprised that Mave is still here. “I'm waiting for you… it's our time naman” Mave says not waiting for Aya to answer. “Time together?” Aya asks herself.
“Where are you going?” Mave asks Aya who is about to leave her office. “Sa table ko po” Aya answers. “Wait there” Mave says pointing Aya to the couch. Mave picks up the landline and calls “Hello Miko, could you please move Ms. Amaya's table to my office… yes… I'm sure… thank you” she drops the phone and smiles at Aya. “Bakit mo naman pinalipat table ko?” Aya asks. “We're gonna spend time together remember?” Mave says continuing to work.
“I'm gonna go on my lunch break na” Aya says standing up. “Hindi tayo sabay?” Mave asks looking like a kid. “Huh?” Aya says with a little laugh “Ang cute ni uto” Aya thought to herself. “Hindi ka ba worried hindi ako kakain?” Mave says acting like a kid. “Ano ba sumasapi sayo?” Aya says then laughs. “Wala… wag na nga” Mave says as she just continues to work. “Babalik din naman ako” Aya says but Mave ignores her. “Bye na muna” Aya says then leaves.
“Umalis talaga” Mave says following Aya by look through the glass wall. “Natitiis na niya ko ah” Mave says to herself. “I look good naman today ah” Mave says standing in front of the mirror admiring herself.
“You do look good” Aya says taking Mave's attention. Mave ignores her and returns to her desk. “Alam mo bawasan mo lang sungit mo mas pogi ka pa” Aya says teasingly. “Kala ko ba mag lunch ka” Mave says continuing work. “I gotta make sure my baby eats eh” Aya says placing a paper bag on the table. “Baby mo?” Mave says trying to keep a straight face. “Your term not mine” Aya says walking to her table. “Wait” Mave says. She takes the pile of folders off her table and places a chair across hers. “Sabay tayo” Mave says gently dragging Aya to her table.
“Tara na” Mave says holding her keys. “Huh? 8 pa lang” Aya says looking at the clock “You usually stay late” she adds. “I do, but I don't want to over work you, sabi ng Mom mo you look like pinapagod kita” Mave says. “Don't worry I'm fine” Aya says trying to continue her work. “Enough…” Mave says as she turns the computer off “You always take care of me… let me take care of you” Mave says looking intensely at Aya in her eyes.
