At around 9am that morning...

RJ! Tawag ka ng Dad mo...ngayon n daw...

Richard nodded at Officer Carla, he knows that kind of tone, so he walked towards the Captain's Suite. There's a lot of food on the table, is he expecting guests?

RJ: Dad...good morning po.

RS: Good Morning RJ, halika sa loob...wag mong galawin ang pagkain diyan...

They entered the private room of his Dad, the Captain, he has a separate Receiving Room and this is one of the most private room in the Cruise.

RS: RJ anak...saan ka natulog kagabi?

RJ: ahhh kasi Dad...it's not what...

RS: Anak, I trust you...pinalaki ka naman namin ng maayos ng Mom mo then ni Lola Linda mo...you are young, good looking and very eligible bachelor pero anak, ano n b talaga ang score nyo ni Maine?

RJ: Dad...I told you naman d b? Nanliligaw ako and di ba nga dadalaw tayo sa kanila pagbalik natin sa Pinas?

RS: Yes anak I get that...pero lately kasi napapansin na palagi kang natutulog kay Maine and the Pinoy Crew knows you so well and Im' more worried on Maine...nkkhiya sa kanya bk mmy nag t take advantage ka na.

RJ: No Dad...trust me...

RS: Okay...I also understand na iba na ang panahon ngayon pero baka naman pwedeng hinay2 lang RJ...palagi ko din kayong nahuhuli na naghahalikan sa Upper Deck...

RJ: Sorry po...

RS: Anak naiintindihan mo naman ako di ba? Lalake ang sa akin walang lugi pero iniisip ko din naman si Maine...kung kay Riza nangyari ang ganyan d b m a alert din tayo?

RJ: Sorry po Dad...hindi lang talaga makapag pigil minsan...

RS: Minsan lang talaga RJ? Don't me...

RJ: Dad naman...

RS: Ay susss naglambing pa ang Tisoy....halika nga dito...(hugs RJ) kung nandito lang ang Mom mo bk dun na yun tumira sa Suite ni Maine ano?

RJ: Yes Dad...magkakasundo sila ni Maine...

At 11:30 am, Maine's Suite

Maine woke up from her nap, she saw a note under the door and read it. The Captain is inviting her for an early or late lunch, whichever she prefers. Maine called Cai but she is not answering probably busy hosting an event. She decided to wear denims and her white off shoulders blouse and then walks to the Captain's Suite.

M: Good Morning Captain

M: Good Morning Captain...

RS: Good Morning Maine...thank you for seeing me, halika brunch tayo hindi pa din ako kmkain...

M: Sige po...

RS: Pasta, rice or sandwiches, bahala ka na dyan

They ate and shared stories for a few minutes, when it was time for coffee, Capt. Faulkerson invited Maine to join him at the Receiving Room.

RS: Maine...can I ask you something?

M: Go ahead po...

RS: Ano na ba ang status ninyo ni RJ?

M: Hala...

RS: Maine, no pressure...I just want to know of you and Richard had an understanding, ayoko kasing isipin na nag t take advantage siya sa iyo.

M: No Sir...that's not the case po, Richard is a good man...alam ko pong 4 weeks pa lang kami magkakilala pero things are changing between us....

RS: Alam ko...and I also know that he promised na magpupunta siya sa inyo to formally introduce himself pagbalik natin sa Pinas...gusto din ni RJ n kasama ako para daw malaman ng guardian mo na seryoso siya...

M: Yes po, wala na po kasi akong parents si Tita Margo na lang po ang kasama ko...kapatid po siya ng Mom ko.

RS: o sige...hindi na ako mangungulit pa sa status ninyo ni RJ...ganito na lang pag may question ka or complain kay RJ lapit ka lang sa akin ha!

M: Yes po. Thank you po.

Maine went to the Irish Pub for an ale' she is still contemplating on what happened...she appreciates how concern Richard's Dad is, but on her end, Maine is thinking that if she and Richard were to take this "situation" between them then they should talk it out...soon...

Suddenly a tall, dark guy in white uniform approaches Maine...

Hi beautiful...is this seat taken? Hi, Im' an Officer and a gentleman Jerald Napoles...at your service...

Get away from her... she heard Richard's voice

Ahhhh so this is Maine....hello Ms Maine, Jerald po...ako ang runner up sa Mr. PanStar Cruise last year hindi ako pinanalo nito kasi insecure sa looks ko...

Sorry Maine...this is my friend Jerald... Bestfriend ko parang kayo ni Kate...

Wait Papi...so may friend si Ms Maine??? Baka naman...

Wag kang makulit umalis ka na...dapat dun ka na lang sa Korea eh...

Maine is laughing at their antics and hold Richard's hand, Jerald noticed it and then walks away.

R: Hey...how's your lunch with Dad?

M: It was okay naman...we need to talk later ha...

R: Yes later, mag duty lang ako sandali sa Lower Deck...ayan na si Cai, she'll take you to the movies or theatre bahala na kayo...see you later (kisses her temples)

M: See you...
