"Meng, umamin ka nga. Anong ginagawa niyo kanina doon?" Maine's aunt asked a few moments after RJ and Kirby left their home.
"Wala nga. Binibilang ko yung kuko niya sa paa." She answered.
"Hay nako, pag ilang buwan ang nakalipas tapos lumapit ka sa akin at kukunin mo akong ninang? Hay nakoooo talaga."
"Halaaa, advance lang mag-isip? Wala nga."
"Hoy Menggay, kilala kita."
"Grabe ka, Tita! Anong akala mo sa akin? Wala nga. Babe time lang, ganoin." Maine replied, smiling coyly at her aunt.
"Ayon. Aamin din pala, susmaryosep. Kumusta naman kayo?"
"Ayos lang naman. Kaso ... ewan ... parang may mangyayari na hindi ko alam. Tita, alam mo yung feeling na merong mangyayari pero di mo alam kaya medyo nao-overwhelm ka pero keri lang din? Ganoin. Basta ang hirap i-explain." Maine replied before emptying the small bag of potato chips in front of her.
"Pero masaya ka pa naman ba?"
"Oo naman. Sobrang dami nga lang nangyayari."
"Eh wala eh, mala prince charming jowa mo eh. Ganda ka teh?" her aunt said and Maine blushed.
"Grabe siya."
"Alam mo, labas na lang tayo. May bagong mall na bukas, doon tayo kahit window shopping lang." Maine's aunt said.
"May lakad ako Tita, bukas na lang."
"San ka punta?"
"May enrollment mamaya si Kirby, baka nga bukas na rin yon eh kasi kakauwi lang nila. Meron din akong ibang pupuntahan pa mamaya."
"Saan?"
"Sikretong malupet ..."

"Yes, Lala, we just got home. Kirby and I will go to school later for his enrollment and then we'll try to drop by your house." RJ told Lala through the phone.
"Daddddddyyyyyy?!! Where's Ate Cherrrryyyyyy?" Kirby asked him.
"She'll be here later. Go to your room and get some rest."
"RJ, have you talked to your Dad?" Lala questioned him.
"Not yet, why?"
"Nothing, I think the two of you should talk. Are you coming to the auction party tomorrow?"
"It's tomorrow?" RJ asked back before looking at his calendar on the wall. "Oh yeah, I guess I have to ... right?"
"Unfortunately ... I've also heard from Arra's Dad, he expressed disappointment but the deal pushed through anyway. Good job, RJ." Lala told him and he smiled.
"Y-You're not mad?"
"Why would I be? I don't like her either."
"Ahhhh, this is why you're my favorite Lola," RJ told her.
"Ako lang naman lola mo ikaw talagang bata ka humanda ka sa akin kapag nagkita tayo. Mambobola na nga lang palpak pa." Lala answered and RJ laughed out a loud.
"LOVE YOU, LALA!" RJ yelled and ended the call before his grandmother could say another word. RJ then looked around for Kirby and saw him in the kitchen.
"I want to be a ninja!" Kirby shouted before he threw a small knife on the wall. The handle bounced on the wall and landed near his feet, causing RJ's heart to skip a beat.
