“Saan ka ba kasi pupunta?” Aya asks irritated. “Business meeting nga lang po, Love” Mave says fixing her suitcase. “Ako secretary mo ni-wala man lang akong alam sa ‘business’ meeting na to” Aya says with a brow raised. “Love si Dad nag set nito” Mave sasy laughing a little. “Ayan na naman si Dad baka mamaya reto na naman yan” Aya says sulking. “Parang gusto ko na lang lagi umalis…” Mave says hugging Aya from behind. “Para makasama mga babae mo??” Aya says removing Mave’s arms. “No no love…” Mave laughing hugs Aya again “I was just kidding because I like this side of you…so lambing” Mave says stealing a kiss. “Magnanakaw” Aya blushingly says. “Magkano ba sulatan ko na ng check” Mave teasingly says slowly kissing Aya.

“Ehem ehem” Cal says standing at the bedroom door. “I always forget to lock the door” Mave says feeling irritated. “Sige na…” Aya says giggling “You might miss your flight, ingatan mo to baka maligaw sa Cebu” Aya says pushing Mave towards Cal. “Ako na bahala ikakandado ko sakin” Cal jokingly says,

“3pm pa flight alas doce pa lang” Cal says in the car. “May dadaanan pa kasi tayo bago umalis, bakit dala dala mo pa si Mags” Mave says seeing Mags in the backseat. “Hi Maveyyyy, you know naman how much Callie misses me pag wala ako” Cal clears her throat “Commander ko” she says continuing to drive. Mave laughs a little “Ayos yan, I actually need your help…” Mave says turning to talk to Mags.

“Eto??” Mags says with wide eyes. “Bakit panget ba?” Mave says worried. “Hindi hindi… ang ganda nga eh kaso….” Mags says hesitating on what to say. “Bakit? Ano mali?” Mave asks curiously. “Knowing Ate Aya she’d probably want something simpler” Mags says with a sincere smile. “Right… right….” Mave says a bit disappointed and looking around the store. “Ang laki naman kasi kahit astronaut maiingit” Cal says trying to cheer her cousin. “This one!” Mave says pointing at something. “Ah Ma’am that’s one of the most expensive item we have” the lady says. “But its soooooo pretty” Mags says gushing over it. “This would look perfect on her… please box it for me” Mave says similing wide.

“We should buy something before we go there” Mave says as they land at Cebu. “Insan hindi pa nga nakaka-land yung eroplano” Cal says already tired. “Ang cute kaya” Mag says. ”Masyado mo tinataas standard nila buset ka” Cal whispers to Mave as they get off the plane.

“Good afternoon po” Mave says then ‘mano’ to both of Aya’s parents. “Good afternoon ma’am, kamusta po kayo?” Mrs. De Ayala says. “Ah Maam andito po sana ako para pag usapan ang tungkol samin ni Aya” Mave says scratching her head a bit. “Alam na namin Mave nababanggit ni G minsan” Mr. De Ayala says with a smile. “Po?” Mave says confused.

After Mave left Aya was in the office on her own. “Lunch time na you want to have lunch” Jerome says as he enters the office. “Mr. Jerome ano po ginagawa niyo dito?” Aya says standing up and welcoming him. “Here to see you, of course” Jerome says. “Oh uhm I’m sorry may meeting scheduled for today po ba?” Aya says confusedly looking through her schedule book. “Uhm No but I just wanted to talk with you a little and maybe… have lunch” Jerome says approaching Aya. Aya dodges and moves behind her table. “We can talk po, please sit” Aya says trying to be professional despite Jerome’s actions. “What’s this about?” Aya says. “I want you” Jerome says with a serious look. “I’m sorry, ano po yun?” Aya says believing she miss heard. “I mean I want you to join my uprising company” Jerome says trying to act cute. “I’m sorry Sir but as you can see I already have a job” Aya says trying to smile. “I can see that… but I can offer a lot more you know” Jerome says with a smile. “What more can I want really” Aya says with a nervous laugh. “I could give you a higher salary, a better title, maybe even…. a new last name” Jerome says leaning over to Aya. “How does Amaya Guillermo sound?” Jerome says leaning his face closer…

before he could kiss Aya “I’m sorry Sir but that was so unprofessional of you” Aya says standing up angrily before Jerome could get any closer. “Please leave, I do not plan to entertain guest with such unprofessionalism specially in a respectable office like this” Aya says irritated, she opens the door indicating Jerome to leave. “Think about it… I could give you the family you dream of.” Jerome says as he leaves.
