When they got home, Dream arranged the vegetables while Jao was playing with Angelo. They run into the living room, chasing each other.

"What grade are you in, Gelo?" Jao asked the boy.

"Grade one," replied the boy. "Kuya Jao, are you Ate Dream's boyfriend?"

Jao just laughed and shook the kid's hair. Afterwhile, they go to the kitchen to help Dream cook.

"Gelo was only four years old when Auntie Rolyn was teaching him housework like sweeping," Dream said. "Oh, Gelo, cut the cucumber off. It's so easy. You can do it, right? I already peel it off  so you can slice it."

"Yes, Ate Dream," Angelo took the cucumber and the small knife.

They have fun. They laugh so hard because of Jao's jokes that are sometimes corny.

"What does a rat say to a rat when they see a bat?" - Jao

"What?" - Dream

"Wow dude, it's an angel!" said Jao.

"Wow, the angels of the rats are bats!" says Angelo who is amazed by Jao's story.

Dream just laughed at Gelo's innocent reaction. 

"There's more. There is a woman on the edge of the rooftop ... POLICE say: Miss no! There is a solution to all the problems! - WOMEN says: Don't intervene! I can't SEND!"

Dream was so happy to be with Jao. She just smiles as he listens to the man's old jokes.

"A man donated blood on his girlfriend. When they broke up, he wanted to get the blood back. The woman threw her sanitary napkin and said .. There! I'll pay you monthly!"

Dream burst into laughter. Jao smiled as he watched the girl. He was happy that he was making her laugh.

"You know, the kitchen is going to be my favorite place right now," Jao said.

Dream stopped laughing. "Why?"

"It's because our first bonding was in the kitchen, when we're on the farm. And right now, we bond in the kitchen again,"
