"Good Job team. Pack up na tayo!" Richard announced after they finished their shoot.
"Grace, double check everything ha. Medyo late na din tayo natapos. I have to go." Richard said and wave goodbye to them.
He was holding Dave when they approached Dawn, "sabay na kayo sakin ni Rachel pauwi, hatid ko na kayo."
"Thank you pero mag papasundo na lang kami." Dawn refused.
"Please, ako na. Matagal tagal nadin akong hindi nakakapunta sa inyo." He insisted and turned to Rachel. "Okay lang ba na ako na mag hatid sa inyo ni tita?"
"Yes po. Please tita." Rachel pleaded.
"How can I refuse Rachel, sige na go ahead." Dawn agreed.
Rachel and Dave got inside Richard's car and sat at the back seat. Dawn was about to head inside also but Richard stopped her.
"Hayaan mo na ang mga bata jan. Sa harap ka na." Richard said.
When they all got inside Richard started to drive.

An hour and half had passed they're still on the road. The kids fell asleep at the back. Dawn remained silent the whole trip and completely ignored Richard.
"Nilalamig ka ba?" He asked and take off his suit. "Ito oh gamitin mo muna."
Dawn refused it while she was looking through the window. No words came out from her mouth.
"Sige hinaan ko na lang aircon." Richard said.
He stopped the car when they got stuck in traffic, he get his blanket and put it on the kids. "Sure ka bang hindi ka nilalamig?" He asked again.
Another half an hour had passed, they're still on the road. Good thing they were miles away from Dawn's house.
"Grabe, natitiis mong hindi mag salita ha. Kanina pa kita kinukwentuhan wala ka man lang react jan." Richard said as he looked at Dawn. "Huy kausapin mo na ako." He said and nudge her but got surprised when he heard a snore.
He moved closer to check her and saw that she was sleeping.
"Tignan mo 'to tinulugan ako. Kaya pala walang sumasagot." He parked the car on side of the road.
He moved Dawn to let her sleep comfortably on her chair. He put his coat on her and a pillow on her neck. He continued to drive but saw her head was banging up and down, left and right, as the car moved forward. He then put his arm on her head to support it while the other one was on the steering wheel.

"Dawn gising na, nandito na tayo sa bahay niyo." Richard wake her up gently.
She moved a bit as she slowly opened her eyes.
"Pasensya na nakatulog ako." She said and get her things. She looked back to check Rachel but she's not in there. "Rich asan si Rachel?"
"Pinasok na ni Vice sa loob, kanina ka pa nga namin ginigising eh." Richard explained.
"Salamat." She said as she got off the car.
"Tagal magising twinnie, dapat hinayaan na kitang isama ni Richard pauwi sa kanila eh." Vice teased her.
"Salamat ulit Rich, pasok na ko ha. Ingat kayo ni Dave pag uwi. Pasensya na antok na antok na ko talaga." Dawn said.
"Ay wow, para akong hangin ah. Dinaanan lang ako." Vice said.
"Hay nako Vice! Lock mo yung gate ha. Pumasok ka na. Bukas pa uwi ni Rowell nag text siya kanina." Dawn said and head inside.
"Taray may pahatid hatid pa." Vice teased Richard.
"Wala naman silang dalang sasakyan, kaya sinabay ko na."
"Akala ko ba "it's time to let her go", may pa ganyan ganyan ka pa ha." Vice said mimicking him.
"I did it for Rachel okay."
"Sus, sige na. Mag ingat kayo pauwi."

Richard parked his car at their garage and carried Dave inside. He was surprised when Andy approached them.
"Nandito ka na pala, kanina ka pa?" Richard asked her.
"Oo, gusto mong kumain?" She asked him.
"Hindi na busog na ako, ikaw kumain ka na ba?"
"Oo kanina, hinihintay ko lang kayo dumating."
"Dalhin ko lang si Dave sa kwarto niya." Richard said and went directly to Dave's room.
He then head to his room after while Andy followed him.
"Pagod ka?" She asked and sat beside him on the couch.
"Medyo, ikaw napagod ka ba sa pinuntahan mo?"
"Hindi naman. Nag enjoy naman ako."
"Andy let's talk."
"Rich kung tungkol ito doon sa kanina, I'm really sorry. Hindi ko sinasadyang sabihin kay Dawn yun."
"Oo Andy naiintindihan ko. Pero Andy tama ba itong ginagawa ko? Baka mas lalo ka lang masaktan?"
"Ha? Bakit Rich?"
"Baka lalo lang kitang masaktan sa ganito kung ipapagpatuloy pa natin? Huwag na kaya Andy, tama na?"
"Rich I'm sorry. Ano ba gusto mong gawin ko? Gusto mo puntahan ko si Dawn mag sorry ako sa kanya ng personal?"
"Hindi Andy, ayoko lang kasing masaktan kita. Hindi ko pa ata kayang pakawalan si Dawn."
"Pero Rich, hindi naman ako demanding diba. Wala naman akong hinihingi sayo na hindi mo kayang ibigay. Kung ano lang yung ibibigay mo tinatanggap ko naman."
"Hindi naman kailangan Andy eh. Malaya kang humanap ng mag mamahal sayo."
"Pero Rich ikaw yung gusto ko. Mas okay na kong masaktan basta makasama ka. Please Rich, hindi ko na ata kakayaning mawala ka pa ulit." Andy pleaded and tears fell on her eyes. "Richard please, hinahayaan naman kitang gawin ang lahat ng gusto mo. But please don't leave me. Don't leave us."
"Shh I'm sorry Andy. Huwag ka ng umiyak. Sorry." Richard said and hugged her tightly.
