"So it's true that they're back together, Mr. CEO?" Sir Don was asked by the reporters.

"Yes. They've talked about their thing and reconciled." He smiled and looked at the camera.

"So totoo po ang wedding issue? Nabalitaan po kasi naming they're planning to get married again." He smiled as if he was confirming the issue.

"We're all excited for their wedding. This time I know they both know what their priorities and obligations are. She's planning to stay here for good para asikasuhin ang engagement party and the wedding itself." I rolled my eyes.

"Grabe! I can't believe this old man. Tangina. Hina-highblood ako, seriously. Where did those came from? I don't remember reconciling with Jerod!" I kicked the bean bag beside me.

"I didn't know that your dad was this famous." Lars handed me a can of Heineken.

"I'm also shocked. He was never into interviews nor media, ngayon lang. It's his first interview in his entire existence! I know he planned this. Para hindi ako umakto ng pangit in public." I took a gulp of the beer.

"So he has all the means. Wala kang kawala." Pris looked at me.

"Tangina na lang talaga masasabi ko. He's so ridiculous!" I laid back and closed my eyes.

"Maj, phone. It's ringing." Lara kicked my butt.

I looked at the caller ID. I suddenly want to turn down the call, but Lara punched my leg.

"Fuck you, Ramones!" I hissed at her before answering the call.

"Anak, kamusta ka na? Tell me naman na where you're staying." I closed my eyes once again.

"I won't, okay? And I'm not okay. What's with Sir Don's interview? Really? He'll do anything just for this? Tell him he's pathetic." I drank some beer.

"Anak, sumunod ka na lang sa daddy mo. Bumalik ka na sa bahay niyo ni Jerod." She said it as if I have no choice but to do it.

"No. I don't want to." I said firmly.

It has been two days since the tragic revelation. Yes, I call it tragic. And for the last two days mom has been calling me occasionally asking me to move in with Jerod again. I don't get it, really.

"Anak, please." She said it as of it was her only way of living.

"Mom! Mababaliw na ako sa lahat ng revelations ng asawa niyo! Ang galing din naman niya ano? And now I can't even leave the country dahil sa sinabi niya, kasi magkaka-issue kapag umalis ako." I pressed my palm against my forehead.

"Anak, may sakit ang daddy mo!" She's crying, really.

"I know, but may sakit din ako! Have you forgotten about it?! Mom, I was close to being schizophrenic! And this is what you do to me after I went through all those medications and therapies?!" I cried.

Lara and Pris were both staring at me. Alam nilang I need to let this out. I'm going crazy again. I know. I'm close to losing it again.

"Anak, you don't understand-"

"Yes! I don't understand! I don't understand why my own father doesn't love me at all! I don't understand how he can put all this up, how he can let me remarry that man! I don't understand why you agreed to this! I don't understand anything anymore!" My hands were trembling.

I lose grip of my phone and it dropped on the carpet. I was shaking and crying at the same time. Pris went near me and consoled me, while Lara took my phone.

"Tita, Maj can't do this right now. Opo I'll take care of her. Kami na po muna ang bahala sa kanya. Sige po." She looked at me after hanging up the call.
