Everyone deserves a second chance, right? Hana Minoru will have to learn this the hard way... Tina gave Robert a second chance. Can Hana give both her parents another chance?

"I'm sorry, ma'am," the lady searched the book in front of her, "no reservation in that name."
Hana clears her throat, "Try... Janet Torres, please."
"Follow me please." the hostess leads them into a table.
"Who's Janet Torres?" Tina asked.
Hana smirks, "Guita, her whole name is Sampaguita Janet Torres Minoli." Hana fished her phone out her purse, "I should really text Nico..."
Tina looks at the center table decoration a single candle on a red Arabian Jasmine flower holder:

"Hmmph..." Hana sat down, "cute."
"What is it?" Tina asked.
"The centerpiece," Hana explains, "that flower is named Sampaguita..."
"Oh... but Janet really?" Tina inquired.
Hana smirks, "Ironic right?"
Tina nodded.
"Seriously? Janet?!" Nico glares.
"Well, hello to you too." Hana sighs, "And yes, Guita uses her second name when she's ordering or reserving something..."
"Hey!" Guita entered the room and greeted them.
Hana stood up, "Hi. So, where is this guy?"
"Not a guy," Guita shook her head, "Brad's a man..."
"Wait! His name is Brad?" Hana smirked.
"Please, save the jokes for later." Guita begged. "Anyways, I think he's gonna propose this afternoon."
"And we're here because?" Robert sat down.
"Because, I think it's time for him to meet you." Guita explained.
"Oh yes," Hana laughs, "because after two weeks of long distance dating, its about time I met him, after all you are going to marry him."
"Oh wow!" Nico gasped, "Two weeks?! Really?"
"Yup, but we knew each other," Guita defended, "since childhood..."
"Okay," Hana stood up, "I get that it might seem that way but you really just met him two weeks ago, online, in an app my mother created."
"No, you don't get it." Guita responds, "Brad was my first kiss, back when I was in seventh grade, before I met you. He was a transfer student from England. Then middle of the school year I was transferred to Atlas and he moved back to England. Wizheart was a tool that reconnected us..."
Hana looks at Tina, "Now, I'm wondering how drunk you were when you named that app..."
Nico chuckles, "The only person who can say those words to mom without getting smacked... Favoritism at its finest."
Hana squinted as a man in his mid twenties with his dark brown hair neatly combed on top of his head, black rimmed eye glasses perched on his nose entered the room. "Guita." the man gave Guita a kissed on the cheek.
"Brad," Guita put her hands on his cheek, "this are the Minorus. Mrs. Tina Minoru, Mr. Robert Minoru, Nico, and my best friend, the brilliant, Hana Minoru."
"And she gets an introduction," Robert frowns, "while we get point and name..."
"Don't start..." Hana glared.
"Why?" Robert questions.
Hana looked at her father, "Because if you start, Nico will."
Guita nodded, "Let's order."
Hana picks up the menu; a few seconds later a waiter. "Can I start you off with some drinks?"
"Um..." Hana smiles, "I'll have calamansi juice..."
"Right away, ma'am." the waiter smiles.
"I'll have young buko juice." Guita ordered.
"Of course." the waiter wrote it down without taking his eyes off of Hana.
"Same." Brad sighs.
"Okay."
"I'll have iced tea." Tina states.
"Good."
"I'll get... avocado shake." Nico claimed.
"Great choice."
"And I'll get... hot coffee." Robert declares.
The waiter didn't take his eyes off of Hana, as he wrote down each order. As soon as he went to the kitchen, Guita smirks, "Dahandahan baka may gayuma ang inorder mo."
Hana's eyes widened, "What?!"
"Oh come on! I'm not the only one who noticed, how the dude could not keep his eyes off of Minoru Princess..." Guita laughs. "Not that I can really blame him, I mean, isn't every guy we come across can't keep their eyes to themselves?"
"So what's are ulam, mangkukulam?" Hana asked.
Brad got down on one knee in front of Guita, "The first time I've ever saw you was at the seventh grade orientation; you were so shy I was shock to find out that you were assigned to show me around. Top student, star athlete, how did I get so lucky? I loved you then and I still love you and I will always love you... I guess what I'm trying to say is will you, Sampaguita Janet Torres Minoli, marry me?"
Guita smiled widely and jumped into Brad's arms.
"I'll take that as a yes..." Brad smiled.
"Well," Tina smirks, "never thought it would happen..."
"What?!" Hana looks at her mother.
"That Guita would get married before you." Tina explained.
Hana chuckles, "I did. Between the two of us, she's more family type..."
"And you're not?!" Robert slightly shocked.
"I am in no way ready for a family life." Hana shook her head.
