Satisfied si MM sa nadatnan sa bahay niya, tahimik..malinis..at ang pinakaimportane..mag-isa siya.

He raced up to his room and threw himself on the bed.

Pumikit…

After a bit, nainitan na ito, agad siyang naghubad and headed to the bathroom to fill up the bath tab.

Mabuti nalang at mag-isa siya!

 Isipin mo magiging reaction ng sinumang mapapadaan kay MM habang huba’t hubad ito.

He took a bath.

Habang nagpapatuyo ito ng buhok, naalala niya ang iniwang lumang guitara.

Sakto it was in his room pa din..he strummed a few notes, “Same old us.” He said.

Wala pang 5 minutes of enjoying time alone, nagring na phone niya.

It was Bea.

“Musta ka na diyan?” She asked.

“Eto alone. I’m actually the happiest person alive!” MM laughed out.

Alam naman ni Bea na MM was in a good situation, “You should rest.” She suggested.

Biglang may nagdoorbell,

“Visitors?” MM wondered.

Again it took Heidi a long 2 hour drive para makarating kay MM, she took the advice of James to help out MM with the ‘family spirit’ he needed and brought the family portraits na pinakuha ni James sakanila.

Nagulat si MM at napadaan si Heidi, he said goodbye to Bea who was waiting on the phone.

“May kailangan ka ba?” MM asked.

“May iiwan lang ako dito.” Heidi coldly replied habang nakataas pa ang kilay.

Assuming na pagkain iiwan neto, “Ikaw na bahala, I’ll be upstairs to dry my hair.”

Hazel called up her bestfriend Hayzeline.

Oh di ba? Double Hazel.

Hayzeline Naungayan, a secretary of a well-known company  - Gammonel Corporations. Hindi lang basta small time secretary, she is the secretary of the big boss kaya malaki kinikita niya. Matalino din ito like her bestfriend but unlike kay Hazel, she is very sociable kaya madali itong pakisamahan.

Kasalukuyan nasa office pa si Hayzeline when she picked up the phone.

 “Sis! Nasa office pa ako, ano un?” Hayzeline quickly asked, bawal kasi sa opisina ang mga unnessesary phone calls..may pagkastrict kasi boss neto.

“Bhez….I miss you lang.” Pangaasar naman ni Hazel knowing na nagmamadali kausap niya.

“Sige pa…tagalan mo pa pag-chika kung ano meron…” Hayzeline replied.

“May job hiring ba diyan? Naiinip na ako sa buhay ko.” Pagrereklamo ni Hazel.

“Hay naku, matagal ko na sinabi sayo na ikaw nga pumalit sakin dito!”

“Ehhh..ung seryoso nga bhezzzzzz….” Humilata si Hazel sa sofa nila.

“Seryoso nga ako! Antagal tagal ko na sinabi sayong balak ko na lumipat! Ayaw mo maniwala! Confirmed na kasi, makakalipat ako sa kabila but gusto ng boss ko matraining muna ung papalit sakin. Seryosong seryoso ako!” Halos pasigaw na si Hayzeline sa pageexplain.
