"Hun, I went out today with the fireman who saved Pepper. He's nice and light. I don't know parang there's something different but our dinner was cutted kasi may sunog"
"Anyways, I have a good news, I contacted the architect who made our house, he's willing to copy our house sa bagong bahay na ipapatayo ko. Actually I'm torn pa, Hun. Hindi ko kasi alam if bibili na ko ng made na or magpagawa nalang. I wish you were here to help me decide"
"I know you can sense that I am in the lighter mood today. You know, I cried it out to Mom na. Maybe that's why."

She unconsciously smiled at that message. She's about to reply when she realize that her smile is a little too much.
"Sorry, Hun" she whispered
"Alam mo hindi ko alam bakit andito ako. Feeling ko there's a guilt inside me na nakipag dinner ako sa iba, or maybe I am so tired lang" she chuckles fakely.
"Honestly, naubos yung social battery ko. Yeah tama tama pagod ako that's why I came home" she convinced herself while a tear escaped from her eyes.
"Ikaw parin talaga yung pahinga ko. Ang funny magkkwento ako dapat sayo ng masaya pero ngayon naiyak ako. Naiyak ako ngayon kasi naalala ko na walang wala 'to sa naramdaman kong saya kapag kasama kita"
"Hun, I'm sorry."
She sighs and continue to cry it out until there's nothing left.
When the cold breeze starts to be felt, she stood up said goodbye to her husband.
Before driving away, she texted her mom what happened to the dinner and said galing siyang cemetery that's why she's late. She also decided to text him back.

"It's been a while, Beatriz" she said.
"It's been a while since you let your real self back" she smiles, this time it's not fake.
a few stops and turns and she arrived to their house. She saw Elmer who seems like waiting for her.
"oh Dad? Why are you here?"
"I'm waiting for you" Elmer's voice is a little serious.
"Huh? Why?"
"You made everyone worry" her dad answered.
"Huh?"
"Everyone's calling everyone" Elmer stated.
"I texted Mom"
"Yes, you did 20 mins ago."
"What's the matter?"
"Beatriz, it is already 1am"
she checked her watch and yeah, she stayed at the cemetery for almost 4 hours.
"Captain Ravena was here because your mom called him and he said he texted you after their operation at di ka din nagrereply sakanya."
"I'm sorry. I didn't know everyone's worried"
"I know anak na malaki ka na, hindi lang kami sanay, sorry din"
"Sorry dad, I visited him eh. Masyado ata naparami ang kwento ko"
"Hmm mukha nga. Is everything alright?"
"Yes dad. Everything is well, surprisingly."
"Okay good. Go ahead and shower, you smell like dried flowers"
she chuckles at her dad's comment and before Bea could go up the stairs, he called her.
