"Good Morning po, my name is Richard R. Faulkerson Jr. and gusto ko rin pong ligawan ang anak niyo." RJ said, leaving all of them speechless for a moment. Then out of nowhere, Maine's aunt screamed and quickly apologized to her.
"Ay Maine! Sorry! Sorry!" she said.
"Sorry? Tita, para saan?" Maine asked, confused why her aunt was suddenly apologizing.
"Naapakan ko kasi yung buhok mo eh, sobrang haba. Ay Maine, dito tayo saglit may itatanong lang ako." Her aunt said. Maine stared at her parents and at the two guys before she followed her aunt.
"Meng, sabihin mo nga sa akin ..."
"Anong sasabihin ko sa inyo?" Maine asked, clueless as to her aunt was talking about.
"Kung anong brand tsaka san mo nabili yung gayumang ginamit mo sa kanila. Hanep yung results eh. Yung isa mukhang Disney Prince, parang hindi marunong magpa-iyak yan eh ... yung tipong happily ever after yung peg niyo all day every day. Yung isa naman , tingin pa lang nakaka-buntis na ... kaya pala may anak agad." Her aunt said and Maine almost laughed out loud. She started chuckling and asked her aunt if she was being serious.
"Oo naman." Her aunt replied.
"Baliw talaga kayo. Walang gayuma okay? Nahihirapan na nga ako eh. Kailangan pumili ako sa kanila niyan eh parehas naman silang boyfriend material."
"Eh ... wala ... maganda ka eh ... ganda oh ... pretty ... mana sa akin yan."
"Sa'yo talaga, Tita? Hindi kay Mama?" Maine asked.
"Sa akin siyempre ... libre kitang fish ball mamaya."
"Oh edi sayo na nga." Maine replied before walking back to her parents. She glanced at Ivan and saw an uncomfortable smile on his face. It was obvious that he was taken aback by RJ's sudden arrival.
"Di ba boss ka ng anak ko?" Maine heard her father ask RJ.
"Yes, Sir. Sa araw-araw na nakasama ko siya the past few weeks eh nakita po kung gaano siya ka-ganda inside and out. Kaya po ako nandito ngayon eh para ipakilala ang sarili ko not as Maine's boss but as a normal guy who has fallen head over heels for her." RJ said, causing Maine's heart to flutter wildly against her chest.
"Meng, ano bang pinakain mo dito sa dalawa?" her mom asked her in a whispering manner.
"HOMAYGAHD ... pati ba naman kayo Ma? Wala nga." She answered, starting to get irritated .
Maine then looked on and saw her father staring at her. There was a stern look on his face, making her even more nervous. Maine gave him an awkward smile before she approached Richard.
"Anong ginagawa mo dito? Kala ko next week ka pa?" she asked him.
"Well, Lala came and she basically told me not to chill ... especially if it has something to do with the person I adore the most." RJ responded. Maine blushed and quickly looked away.
"Okay ... medyo strikto si Papa ah? Good luck sa inyo." She told him and quickly walked towards her mom.

RJ went inside the property and stood next to Ivan. Even though his friend wasn't anything, RJ could feel the brewing tension between the two of them.
"I thought you're not coming today," Ivan whispered.
"Change of mind."
"I see, it's on then ... right? If you think I'm going to give Maine up easily then you're wrong."
