It was 4pm at uwian na nila Winona, she was about to stand up after signing all the papers so she can pick her up when his dad called.
"Oh? Papa? Napatawag ka?" tanong ni Ara.
"Hello dear, I just want to inform you na si Jackson na ang susundo kay Winona, and Yra called me, she said dito nalang daw muna si Winona for the remaining days bago umuwi ang ama nito," her dad briefly explains.
"Ah ganun po ba? Sige.." ani Ara.
"Alright dear, I'll hang up, ingat," anang ama bago patayin ang tawag.
"Well, I guess I'll be alone again," Ara talks to herself.
"Jo," tawag ni Ara sa sekretarya na hindi naman nasa kalayuan ng kanyang kinauupuan.
"Doc?" tugon nito.
"Uwian na ata nila Lee, sige na, just update me if anything's up," Ara said in a soft tone.
"Sige po," sagot naman ni Jo bago ligpitin ang mga bagay na nasa harapan niya.
Well, this day was indeed foreign for her.
Pagkatapos huminga at makapagnilay-nilay ng sandali, lumabas na rin siya mula sa tent at pumasok na sa sasakyan.
She was driving back to her condo when she heard something.
Sht, her tires were flat.
Lumabas si Ara and she kept calm.
Tinatawagan niya si Jo para mapakuha ang sasakyan niya noong may pumarada sa harapan niyang sasakyan.
"Pumasok ka na," anang lalaking nagmamaneho, si Chase.
"No, it's fine Mr. Natividad, I can handle myself,"
"Enough with the formalities and get in, ako na ang bahala sa kotse mo, I'll call Collin," he insisted.
"No, it's really fine... Chase, tinatawagan ko na ang sekretarya ko—"
"Come on Ara, pumasok ka na, wag mo na pahirapan ang sekretarya mo, pauwi na rin naman ako," sa sinabing iyon ni Chase, naalala niya na susunduin pa pala ni Jo ang anak niya, even with a little hesitation, Pumasok na lamang siya sa sasakyan ni Chase.
Tumingin siya sa likod.
"Where's your uhm.. secretary?" tanong ni Ara kay Chase, of course, referring to Sunny.
"I don't know, maybe she's heading somewhere else, di niya naman sinabi," ani Chase bago kunin ang telepono niya.
Ara just looked at the road in front of her, di pa naman gumagalaw ang sasakyan.
"Hey Collin, you okay now bro?" Chase greets the person in the other line, which she assumes is obviously Collin.
"Yeah, can your men pick up a car?.. yup flat tire.. yeah I'll just text you the exact location, nice, appreciate it, thanks bro," Chase said before ending the call.
"Thanks I'll just pay—"
"Nope, it's fine, Collin's a friend, our friend," ani Chase.
