"Me too." She said.

"Kung 'Love' kaya?" Maine suggested.

"Great. Love..." He said.

"Thea, how are you feeling?" Tiana asked.

"I'm fine. VERY fine." Thea lied.

"God, Tiana! Of course I'm not feeling well! I'm getting my face operated and it will take me time to go back to my husband!" She cried.

"Don't blame your stupid idea on me. You wanted this. Panagutan mo." She explained.

"Tsaka, ano namang pumasok sa isip mo at gusto mong laging mag-mukhang maganda sa asawa mo. Thea, kaya ka nya minahal dahil sa personality mo. At hindi sa ganda mo. Kaya kahit anong gawin mo, kahit anong panget pa ang mangyare sa mukha mo, mahal ka parin ni RJ." Tiana reminded.

"Sana matauhan ka, ha?" She continued as she left Thea.

"Love?"

"Yes, my Love?" RJ asked.

"Tingin mo.... Possible kaya na buhay pa si Thea? I mean, wala naman silang nahanap na katawan." Nicomaine asked.

"Love, she's dead. Forget about her. Sabi nga ng mga pulis, her body was burnt." He explained.

"Yun yung lumabas. Pero may kutob ako na... Na buhay pa sya eh. Wala ka bang balak na hanapin sya?" She asked.

"Love..." He faced her.

"Why are you asking these questions all of a sudden? She's gone. And I'm happy at where I am standing right now. I am happy that you're mine." He said.

"Eh... Tara na." Nicomaine said as they entered the building.

"Goodmorning po, Ms. Mendoza." The staff greeted.

"Morning. Sara, asan ang Daddy?" Maine asked as Sara went by her side.

"Hindi pa po sya dumadating." Sara said.

"Oh. Pag-dumating sya, let me know. I need to talk to him." She said. Sara nodded and left Maine. The couple continued to walk to Maine's office, and stopped when they were in front of it.

"See you later, Love." RJ said as he gave Maine a kiss on the lips. They pulled away with smiles on their faces. Maine went inside the office and started her job as RJ went to his.

"Grabe ka naman, RJ! Nakaka-kilig kayo ni Ms. Mendoza!" Jerald said. RJ passed by his team to check on everything, then Jerald saw him.

"Sa totoo lang, Jay. Bagay kayo ni Ms. Mendoza. Mas bagay pa kay Thea." Kristoffer admitted.

"Grabe kayo kay Thea ah... Pero totoo naman." Val said.

"O diba? Inamin mo rin." Barbie said.

"Please naman, wag na natin pag-usapan si Thea. Nananahimik na yung tao." RJ irritatingly said.

"Sorry naman." Everyone apologized.

"Apology accepted. Now everyone, get back to work." He said as he went inside his office. He looked at the room, and realized that it was full of Thea. He sighed. He wanted to move on, and letting Thea's appearance in his room won't help. He went to search for a big box and aced everything thing that she gave, or everything that reminds him of her.

He sat on his computer chair and opened his MacBook. When it opened, Thea's picture appeared.

"Meron pa pala." He said as he changed his wallpaper. He changed it to a picture of him and Nicomaine in Maldives. He smiled.
