Naging busy din ako sa acads these past months. Ganon parin ang eksena parang isang pamilya kami sa dorm. Marunong na silang magluto and to do household chores and ngayon wala sila kasi friday and they go home already. So i called mom
Mom:hello, Cora how are you there?
"I missed you so much mom😭😭😭😭. I want to go home as soon as possible pag sem break na huhuhu"
Mom:open your cam
"Where are you at?"
Mom:we started building a bigger store Cora.
"Wait what?saan ka kukuha ng fund?"
Mom:well i talked to mom last month. Were totally okay. Yes were finally really okay. Though were good man noon pa but now i can say ok na talaga no maore hates. She ask about you,your school and my life here. So i tell her everything. And i even told her about the money that we kept in the bank.
"Oh what does she said mom?"
Mom: as expected nasermonan ako. Nagalit siya dahil sa pride ko and nagalit din siya kasi alam niya na hindi ko naibigay ang mga pangangaialangan mo noon. Naiintindihan mo naman diba anak

ROSS POV
*Unkown number calling*
"Hello Good evening Ross Owen speaking Fonza Cars how may i help you?"
Nesa: hello its Nesa Ward. Ross its Coras mom
"Oh hi tita ano po pala yun kanina?"
Nesa: thank you for caring Cora btw. And i just want to ask a favor
"Ano yun tita?"
Nesa:can you please take good care of her is she goes to party its okay as long na nandon ka. If she takes liquor pagsabihan mo nalang na dahan2in niya . I just want her to experience life which im not able to do kasi nga early ko pa siya naging anak. And if there's anyone na nanligaw sa kaniya pls let me know kung ok ba o hindi ba dapat pagkatiwalaan. Ok sana kung ikaw hahaha just kidding
"Heheh sana nga tita eh ako nalang. I like her since day 1 tita. I like her because of her personality. But...
Nesa: maiintindihan ko naman iho na kung hindi kayo bagay kasi nga hindi kami ganon kayaman and i know every parent of an heir wants their children to be with someone na karapat dapat
" no tita,actually i always talk about her to my mom. But tita im a chinese and im the only son and there's a possibility that i will become the subject for fix marriage and if it happens baka masaktan ko lang ang anak niyo tita. Thats why im trying my best na hindi mahukog sa kaniya but your daughter tita is too much kind to be ignored. Thats why i did everything thay i can do para maging malapit and maprotektahan siya"
Nesa:oh mhy ghad iho. I understand. But im okay if you get that close to Cora mas panatag ang loob ko. Im looking forward to meet you iho.
"Tita if ever na parang may chance ako kay Cora can I pursue her ba?"
Nesa:sakin ok lang pero paano yan kung destiny mo yon. But i want you to discover life. Try to face indefinite things. If it doesnt work it will be a lesson if it is its Gods will.
"Thank you tita,can we keep it as a secret?"
Nesa:of course of course
