It's been a week since Cesca decided to tell Jerome that she already left her work as a music teacher. Jerome didn't ask for her reasons.
"I will eventually leave my work sa resto ni Ria soon, tatapusin ko lang yung contract ko for this month.. nakakahiya din naman kasi kay Ria.." Cesca said.
"Ikaw ang bahala, hindi ko naman sinabi na iwan mo na lahat ng trabaho mo, I know you still have your own life.. gusto ko lang naman magkaron tayo ng mas mahabang time para sa isa't isa.. Lalo na ngayon that I also left my project sa HongKong, pinayagan na ako ng boss ko na dito na lang mag base ulit sa Manila. That's it.. You don't have to quit your job.." Jerome explained.
"But I want to.. hayaan mo na lang ako. I'm fine.. Besides, gusto kong masimulan 'yung business na gusto nating itayo." Cesca smiled.
On the otherhand, Albert is still trying to accept everything that happened between him and Cesca. Valeen is also uncertain if she made a right move on asking a favor from Cesca to give up on Albert because instead of saving their marriage, they intend to fight and to argue every now and then.
"I'll visit Peter and Ria later, matapos kong nagkulong sa bahay ng isang linggo, pwede na naman siguro ako lumabas ng bahay.. o baka pag dudahan mo pa rin ako nyan.." Albert said.
Valeen who's currently watering her orchids on their garden softly responded, "Okay.."
...
"I'll pick you up after your singing engagement mamaya, okay?"
Jerome told his wife after he dropped her off to the resto arround 6pm.
"Sure, I'll call you right after I finished my last song for the night." Cesca said.
Cesca's POV
I don't think I made a wrong decision of letting him go.. Maluwag sa puso ko nung pinalaya ko si Albert dahil sa tingin ko, nakabuti rin naman ito sa kanya. After I left him, he never reached out for me. And it's a good sign, that means naging okay pa rin ang marriage nila ni Valeen. I've heard natuloy pa rin ang anniversary party nila.
I have no bitterness at all. For me, this is the right thing to do, to let each other go. Kaya tonight, malakas ang loob ko na pumasok sa trabaho dahil alam kong hindi na ako guguluhin pa ni Albert. Hindi na naman nya ko siguro kakausapin pa dahil alam kong galit na sya sa akin dahil sa ginawa ko sa kanya..
Tonight, I'll just pour out my emotions to my songs.
"Hi Ces--" Ria wasn't able to finish her words when I corrected her.
"Sam.. Samantha.. from now on, forget about what I've told you.. hindi ako sya. And ayoko na din pag-usapan ang tungkol dito." I told her as I held her hands.
She was shocked.
"Oohh, Uhm.. Okay, Ssam.. If that's what you want." Ria said and smiled.
"Basta, you know that I'm always here for you.." Ria added.
I just nodded and went to the dressing room. I manage to holdback my emotions. Kahit gustohin ko pang mag kwento kay Ria, hindi na lang din. Para ano pa? Eh tapos na ang lahat sa amin ni Albert. At isa pa, ayoko din naman makadagdag pa sa iniisip ng kaibigan ko.
In a few minutes, after I put on some make up and fix my hair, I went out to the piano bar and start to perform.
🎶 Hello, it's me

But I ain't done much healing6
