"What's going on here, Martin? According to your assistant you suppose to be in the meeting? Why did you cancel all your appointment? Naglalaro lang ba kayong magkapatid sa kumpanya ko?" Galit na bungad ng Daddy nila
"Im sorry, Dad! May inaakaso lang ako saglit!" Sagot ni JM
"Inasikaso? Amoy alak ka? Ganito ba lagi ang ginagawa nyo? Tristan, ito ba ang itinuro mo sa kapatid mo? Wag mong sabihin na porket I allowed you to enter in a relationship again eh magpapabaya ka na naman?" Baling nito kay Tristan
Nagkatinginan ang magkapatid, saka bumaling ng tingin si Tristan sa Ama "Dad, wala namang nagpapabaya ng kumpanya nyo. Martin is doing good in his work. He's just giving more time in Alabang Site. Hindi namin pinababayaan ang kumpanya,Dad!" Paliwanag ni Tristan sa Ama "He just need to cancel his appointment para sa preparation ng wedding nila ni Dina" saka tumingin ito kay JM
"The two of you just make sure everything is doing good! And Martin, ayoko ng mauulit to. Let Dina fix everything. Unahin mo muna ang commitments mo dito sa kumpanya para maayos nyo na din yang kasal na yan. Ang tagal nyo ng andito hindi nyo parin natatapos yan!"
"Yes, Dad!" Pilit na sagot ni JM
"I'll stay in our house, I want the two of you stay there also hanggat andito ako sa Pinas. Iharap mo sa akin ang babae mo, para malaman ko kung anong klaseng babae ang kinalolokohan mo!" Sabi ng Daddy nila kay Tristan "I want to talk to Dina also! Dinner tonight! I want you Martin to be there with Dina and Tristan to your new prospect!"
"Dad, she'a not just a prospect! She's my girlfriend!" Sagot ni Tristan
"Whatever!" Saka lumabas ng opisina si Mr. Edward Tolentino
Naiwan ang magkapatid na parehong nakakunot ang noo.
"Bakit di mo sinabi na uuwi sya ng maaga?" Tanong ni Tristan
"Dahil hindi ko din alam!" Pabalang na sagot ni JM
"Magsama kayo ng Daddy!" Asar na sabi ni Tristan na aktong maglalakad papuntang pintuan
"He dont need to know about Ashley! Ipakilala mo lang syang bilang--- bilang Girlfriend mo. Hindi pwedeng malaman ni Dad ang past namin!" Sabi ni JM
Natigilan si Tristan sa narinig "You know already?" Saka ito humarap kay JM
"She already told me! Please! Please dont hurt her! I'll respect your relationship not because I accepted it, I respect it because she asked for it! Make sure, you'll make her happy and love all the time! " malumanay na sabi ni JM
"Thanks for the respect! You dont have to remaind me about loving her! Mahal ko sya, mahal na mahal!" Saka lumabas ng opisina ni JM si Tristan
Napabuntong hiningga nalang si JM. Kinuha nito ang cellphone at idinaial ang number ni Dina.
"Hi! Honey!" Masiglang bati ni Dina sa kabilang linya
"Daddy's already home, he wants us to have dinner at our house tonight"
"Sure Hon! Malapit na akong matapos sa presentation ko dito sa client ko, then you can pick me up dito sa office ni Mom"
