The year is 2024 and Jema is at the time of her life. MVP, Champion and one of the best coach in the Philippines.
But things happened when someone from her past came back.
"Since you are already viewing this, something must've happened. And I am going to tell you how it happened."
"It started about 2005, when me and Jho met each other on a department store."
"No. Wait" I chuckled. "That's long overdue. I'll just skip ahead and forward to June 2019, when Deanna, left Philippines to study for her Masters here at New York."
"Her first year, as per her, was simple and really not that interesting cause she was miserable, homesick and missing everybody most especially Jema."
"But what wasn't clear to everybody was how Deanna spent the remaining years before she went back to Philippines."
"And luckily, she told me that a whole chunk of that story."
September 2020.
"Ate." Deanna said on Skype call. "How was the construction of the hospital?" She asked her ate.
"We barely started Deanna, kalma ka lang. You just wired to me the money."
She sighed. "I still can't believe this Ate."
"Deanna, be careful ha? Hindi natin alam kung anong kapalit nyan. Having a luxury of an island and that kind of money, someone will show up."
"I know and I will."
"Well, I better go Deanns, my meeting is starting."
"Yeah."
She sighed and threw her phone on the bed before plopping in it. She sat up and put her hands on her head, elbows in her thighs.
She looked at her bedside table and reached for the framed picture.

She put her hands on her then girlfriend's face. She missed her so much.
She was getting sentimental when her phone light up. It was already 6pm and she had to go to work.
Yes, she has work. She had been working on that bar for a year now. She accidentally broke an expensive table months after Jade gave her the island. So instead of paying for it, she made a deal to just work for them. Since one of the waitress just resigned, she got herself a deal.
On the firat 6 months, she worked for the payment of the table. But she became friends with the people in the bar so she stayed and worked for them.
In the non-peak hours of the day, she was learning from Wendy the bartender, some basic mixed drinks. So, eventually she was promoted to a bartender.
She parked her second hand car, that she bought from her friend at school, at the back parking of the bar she was working at.
"Hey D." The bouncer greeted her in the back entrance.
