"Jiggs,I'm sorry.I didn't know you don't like ketchup.And it's just a ketchup,right,son?"said Ms.Jack as she followed Jiggs in his room.

"You don't know a lot of things about me.Should I be surprised?"said Jiggs.

"That's why I'm here,so we can do bonding & stuff.I want to make it up to you.We can get to know each other again."said Ms.Jack.

"You want to make it up to me?You should have done it before.Where are you during my graduation and my birthday?Do you really want to make it up to me mom?Go back to the States or better yet arrange my petition so I can go there myself.Because the women who was with me during my graduation,the one who joined me during my birthdays and the women who cared for me when you weren't there,is in the States.So please, mom?I'm getting changed."said Jiggs.

"Yes.Sorry."said Ms.Jack then she go out of Jiggs room.Soon after that tears feel in her eyes.She go in her room and there she cried.

Later..

Ms Jack take a look on Jiggs photo album.Again,tears feel in her eyes while looking at the pictures.She remember what Jiggs has told her "The women who was with me during my graduation,the one who was with me on my birthdays,the girl who took care of me when you weren't there is currently in the States."

Grandma saw Ms.Jack crying.

"Jack,why are you crying?Stop crying now.Tell me what's wrong."said Grandma.

"Mom,I already lost my son...(cries).My son..."said Ms.Jack.

Grandma embraced her.

"Jack,just put your things in the cabinet.Why are your things still here?"asked Grandma.

"Forget it Mom.I' going back to the States tomorrow"said Ms.Jack.

"What?Why?"asked Grandma.

"Jiggs doesn't want me here."said Ms.Jack.

"If you do that,it means you're giving up on your son."said Grandma.

"Mom,I don't know what to do.I don't know how to approach him.I don't know how to...how to make up for the years I wasn't there for him."said Ms.Jack.

"Jack,you did everything to be a good parent to Jiggs. If you didn't leave the Philippines,nothing will happen to our lives.Maybe we'd be dead by now.Don't be intimidated by your son.Stay here,okay?You must show him who is real mother is.You need to believe in yourself my daughter."said Grandma.

In the middle of the night,Ms.Jack enters Jiggs room.She wants to see her son while it's still sleeping.She touches Jiggs hair.She remember what Leah has told her.

"This is your chance to get to know Jiggs.Be true to him." 

and then there's a flashback of Jiggs line

  "Do you really want to make it up to me?Get back to the States."

and what her grandma has told her.

"Show him who his real mother is." 

Ms Jack is now confused,thinking what she will do after all that flashback that she remembered.
