Before Fiona was discharged , at San Pedro Hospital .Miguel had stayed with his wife to look after their elder daughter as Monica . Nina and the baby were left alone at home , while at home waiting for their parents to get back . Nina felt sleepy and decided to go to bed for a nap . Monica used this opportunity to call Ramon , told him that they were alone at home , asked him if he could drop by . Ramon who was recovering immediately from his father's beating left his grandma's house and stopped by at the Bustamantes , inside the house . Nina was woken up by the laughters downstairs in the lounge room , came and asked what was going on , her sister forced her to go back to sleep , told her nothing was going on , it was just her sleep walking , silly she was , went back to her room thinking that she was sleep walking and when she had gone , the two began laughing , could believe she could fool her sister that way, she then began unbuttoning Ramon's shirt as they kissed , he aimed for her dress , before taking it off , a knock was heard on the door .they had to stop whatever they were planning to do.

"Who is it ?" Monica asked .

"Come on you little brat , open the door , it's me grandma Theresa." The old lady kept on knocking like she owns the house. "Why are you taking long to open the door ?"

"I'm coming ." She pulled down her dress as Ramon wore his shirt .

"Can I come in ?" She asked when Monica opened the door. "Or you going to talk to me right behind that door . I know your mother has just given birth , so I've brought for her soup that will make her recuperate ."

"Mom is not at home , she 's at the hospital with my father and I believe they'll take long to come back , my older sister is sick , maybe you can come back later grandma Theresa ." She tried to stop her from getting in, she was to distract them from what they were doing .

"What is your problem young girl ? I can wait for them from inside , will you get out of my way ?" She forced her way in.

"Come in grandma Theresa." She had to step aside .

"I didn't know my grandson is here." Saw Ramon comfortably sited on a couch . "Indeed this is your favorite place child but anyway it's a good thing , we're going to help these girls ." She saw Nina coming down out of the bedroom ."We're going to help them with preparing food . I think we're all to have a dinner here together ."

"Are you really going to do that grandma ?" Ramon asked .

"Yes child , am a good cook , where is the kitchen ?"

Monica pointed to her where the kitchen was , prepared a meal with the girls , organized the table and by the time they were done . Miguel . Meriya and their eldest daughter were back at home . Meriya was surprised to see grandma Theresa already settled in the house like she's a part of the family , she welcomed them back to their house , told them she had prepared a meal for them , asked the sick one how she was doing , the sick girl told her she was getting better, grandma Theresa promised to pray for her till she gets better ,then Meriya asked what she had cooked as Fiona went upstairs .

"We cooked sancocho soup , you all gonna love it ."

"Thank you Ms Theresa , thank you for coming over and look after my children while we were away . I really do appreciate what you're doing for my family ." Meriya appreciated the gesture .

While they were all at the table having her soup , grandma Theresa pulled out her old Nokia phone , it had started vibrating ,then a samba sound came out of it , she pressed the green button and had the phone on to her right ear , everyone kept quiet to let her speak on her phone , as she continued saying 'yes' while talking to the person who had called , a smile came onto her face ,later she hanged up .
