(Herminio Jose's POV)

"Nasa labas na ako ng gate niyo Reg. The guards won't let me in." I said on the line.

"Sige, bababa na ako. Pupuntahan kita dyan." She said and ended the call. God knows how much my heart wants to burst right now. I am kinda nervous to meet Sharon.

Pagkalipas ng ilang minuto ay nakita ko si Regine na papalapit sa aking direksyon. Nabigla akong sumakay siya sa sasakyan ko.

"Okay. Drive." She seriously said but yeah, her face cracked up.

Ganun pala ha. "Okay, ma'am." And she finally laughed so hard. Pinarking ko ang aking sasakyan katabi ng kay Regine. Akmang lalabas na ako but she held my hand.

"Hey, I know you're feeling nervous and whatsoever. Please don't. Just be yourself and act normal. Bonus ka nga lang ngayon kasi good mood si Ate and I don't know why." Then she chuckled. "Whatever she'll do or say, it will never change the fact that I like you so much. Okay?" She kissed my forehead for some seconds and it felt like heaven. Her words are strong enough to assure me. God knows how much I love this woman.

I unbuckled my seatbelt at bumaba na ng sasakyan. Regine locked my arms to hers. She is so gorgeous tonight. Simpleng black dress lang tsaka stilettos, she already look so classy.

The maids opened their doors for us. All I can say is wow. Ang ganda ng bahay nila. Parang palasyo. Ang luwag ng sala, ang engrande ng lahat ng bagay na nakapaligid rito.

Nakita kong may babaeng nakatalikod malapit sa may couch. "Ate Sharon!" Regine called her Ate. In a snap, Sharon instantly turned herself into our direction. And me? I was stunned. No wonder ang gaganda ng mga lahi nila. I never saw her in personal, pero matunong ang pangalang Sharon Cuneta sa corporate world at pati na rin sa mediabase. And now I am seeing her personally, siya pa ang kapatid ng minamahal ko.

She walks toward our direction, with amusement in her eyes. Hindi ko maiwasang mastarstruck because she's also beautiful like her sister.

"Ate, this is Herminio Jose Alcasid. Ogie, this is Ate Sharon."

I offered my hand to her. "It's nice to meet you."

We shook hands. "Finally, in the flesh. I have heard so much about you. Bukambibig ka netong si Regina." She chuckled. "Let's get inside?" Tumango naman ako. Regine caressed me on the back and winked at me. I smiled dahil sa ginawa niyang gestures.

We went straight to their dining table and sat down. Everything was set meticulously. I forgot about my feelings because the ambiance felt like home. Throughout the dinner, tahimik lang kami. Everyone finished eating except Regine.

I was in the middle of wiping myself when her Ate spoke. "Herminio, can I talk to you? Alone?" Jusko, gabayan niyo po ako.

"Ahm, okay." Pinisil-pisil ni Regine ang aking kamay kasi hindi ito makapagsalita dahil puno ang bibig nito. Hahaha, cute. She just mouthed 'kaya mo yan' that made me smile. Tumayo na ako sa aking kinauupuan at sinundan si Sharon. Jusko, sa pool area pa talaga. Kahit anong oras pwede niya akong itulak sa pool. Lord, wag naman sana.

"Let me spill the tea. I investigated you, even before Regine talked to me earlier to invite you for dinner." I... didn't expect that.

"Bakit po? On what grounds?" I asked. Bakit niya ako iimbestigahan?

"I suppose you know Martin's death." Tumango naman ako bilang sagot. "He had this certain girl named Zsazsa by his side all along."

What?
