As changed of plan, the Monteiro Family spend their Saturday in Batangas but Victor, Laura and Althea travels back to Manila with Nathan, early morning of Sunday, leaving three of their children in the care of Daniel and Allie.
Though Althea already apologized to Victor and Laura and the two accepted her apology, she still could not refrain herself from feeling guilty as the family weekend got spoiled because of her.
"What do you want me to prepare for you and your guests Althea?" Laura asked as soon as they arrived home before lunchtime.
"Ikaw na po ang bahala, Mommy. Lahat naman ng luto mo, masarap" Althea replied.
"Cheer-up Ate Althea, nag-promise ka naman na hindi mo na uulitin na hindi magpaalam agad di ba?" Laura said and Althea nodded. "And sigurado naman ako na hindi mo na talaga uulitin because kitang-kita ko na ayaw mo pang umuwi kanina." she added.
"Nakaka-inggit kasi sila Mommy, gusto ko pa sanang mag-swimming. Nabitin ako kasi yesterday." Althea said.
"We can always go back to Batangas, just let us know kung kelan mo gustong mag-unwind." Laura said
"Thank you for allowing us to work here Mommy." Althea then said.
"No problem baby, basta next time ha, sasabihin mo agad." Laura said.
"Yes po, Mommy" Althea replied.
"Anong oras ba darating ang mga bisita mo?" Laura asked.
"After lunch po sila darating, Mommy." Althea replied.
"Aabutin ba sila ng dinner?" Laura asked.
"Hindi ko pa po sure, but we all agreed na tapusin namin agad para makauwi din sila nang maaga to prepare for school tomorrow." Althea replied.
"Paano sila pupunta dito?" Laura asked.
"Bria sleepover sa house nila Krissy, si Emilia po ihahatid na lang dito, while si Therese mag-book na lang daw ng ride to come here. Ang alam ko po sabay-sabay na sila Thirdy papunta dito." Althea said.
"I see, I will talk to your Daddy para maipahatid natin si Bria at Therese sa bahay nila, para sigurado tayong safe silang makakauwi. Pwede na rin isabay si Emilia since she lives with the same subdivision as Bria, para hindi na sya susunduin."
"Sana po pumayag si Daddy, matutuwa po sila kapag maihahatid natin sila sa house nila." Althea said.
"Papayag naman yun, ako na lang ang magsasabi sa kanya, later. In the meantime, go and call your Daddy and Nathan, para makapagtanghalian na tayo." Laura said.

It is almost passing two in the afternoon when Althea's expected guests arrived. They immediately proceeds to the library to do their group project.
"Ma'am, yung kasama po nung isang bisita nasa labas at naghihintay sa kotse, pwede ko po bang papasukin, kasi baka masita nung guards dito sa subdivision." their guard on duty said.
"Sinong kasama?" Laura asked and she step out of the house to check who the guard is talking about.
She saw Santino leaning at his car tinkering on his phone so she immediately informed Victor about the situation. "I think we have to let him in. Baka paalisin nung mga guard ng subdivion kasi nakatambay sa harap ng bahay natin eh, kawawa naman." she said.
"Hindi naman sinabi ni Althea na maghihintay yan dyan sa labas." Victor said.
"Hindi siguro alam ni Althea na naghihintay yang si Santino sa kapatid nya. Ang sabi lang nya kanina, ihahatid si Emilia." Laura said.
