Yes?!"

" My Name is Miguel... Miguel Benjamin De Castro..."

" W---What?"
D
" Do you want to see my Mother?"

All of a sudden her whole body frozed. But for some reason tears pooled in her eyes, Her throat dried and her heart seems like it has stopped beating.

" Althea?..."
It scaped her mouth...

She looked straight at the Young Man infront of her. Though her vision was blurred due to her tears, She realized, this Man has a strong resemblanced with Althea, his deep set Almond eyes, His prominent nose, His brows.

Her heart raced ...all she can hear is the beating of her own heart. She almost chocked. Her mind suddenly blanked.

Is this really happening?

" Atty. Jade Howell....I think she is wishing to see you too for a long time..."

Jade's mouth opened but there is just no words coming out. Miguel slowly walk towards her. He was smiling at her, his eyes teary. Jade looked at him and smiled, She touched the face of this Good looking Man, his face was kind upclose. She forced herself to say something but still no words are coming out of her mouth.

" I now know...and She's been looking for you..."

Jade let out the emotions she was feeling inside her.  She hugged Miguel and cried. Her body was shaking and her knees almost lost its strenght.

Atlast words has come out this time, She speaks while crying.

" W--Where is She?"

Miguel smiled again, his Muscular frame supports Jade's weakened knees.

" Do you want to sit down Maam..."

They sat down in the nearby bench.

" How'd you find out about me?"

" It's not important Maam , what's important is for you to meet my Mom..."

" H- How about your Dad? Where is he?"

" My Dad left us almost 8 years ago...He had lung cancer..."

" I'm sorry to hear that.."

Miguel just smiled at her.

" H--How is your Mom? How is Althea?"

" She's Fine...She was looking for you.."

" Oh...that is nice to know...I thought She forgot me already..."

" I don't think so...I mean she never forgotten you..."

" How did you know Young Man? It's weird that I am talking to you about this..."

" I am surprised as well...What happened is just amazing...Maam you really need to see my Mom soon..." 

" Miguel...You just don't know how much I wanted to see her..."
