"Aki? Can you answer a few of this questions?" Chesca asked the little boy who she is with inside the playground, They we're currently doing a therapy. Aki just nod then get the pencil from Chesca's hand and carefully analyze what's on the paper.

Habang abala si Aki na magsagot sa isang maliit na table, Kinuha naman ni Chesca ang pagkakataon para lumabas sa indoor playground ng Hospital at lapitan ang Parent ni Aki na pinapanood lang sila.

"Goodmorning po, Mrs. Cruz." Bati ni Chesca bago makipag kamay sa Mother ni Aki. "Hello Doc....kamusta po si Aki? With his speaking ability?" Tanong ni Mrs.Cruz hoping there we're a few improvement with her son.

"Um, Aki wasn't easy at all Mrs.Cruz, Ang anak niyo po ay nahihirapan sa pagsasalita bacause of the lackness in Familliarity in sound. But, I can assure you, months more I can make your son speak. We just need a lot of practice and consultation" Chesca announced cheerfully. "Sana nga Doc, I mean...I also have a lot of lackness kay Aki back when he's a baby...Alam mo naman, When I am at work naiiwan siya sa Cousin ko, who is deaf...I am always busy at hindi ko siya natutukan, When it comes to the things as a mother I should be helping him" Mrs.Cruz sadly said.

"Alam niyo, Hindi niyo po dapat sinisisi ang sarili niyo...Bata pa po si Aki, Some of this condition were just normal. Makakabawi pa po kayo sa pag gabay sa kanya" Chesca said smillingly "Thank You Doc....Sana nga marinig ko siyang magsalita"

"Sige po, Balikan ko muna si Aki" Pagpapaalam naman ni Chesca bago pumasok muli sa playground.

"Van? Did you finish the papers? They are due to tomorrow" Mr.Reyes reminded his son as he visit him here in his office. "Dad..I have a lot of things to do...But they we're almost dome, Im sure I can pass it later on, Or maybe tomorrow morning" Van said still focused in his computer and other papers in his table.

"And please, Try to attend the meeting for our Derma Clinic's renovation project....And we will also visit the site, Where we will transfer" His Dad said. "Yes Dad, I will try to compress my schedule and attend that special meeting" He said while busy typing something on the keyboard.

"How are you and Cole?" Mr. Reyes suddenly asked making Van look at him this time. "W-What?....I am not Hope Dad, You should ask her about that, not me" Van said leaving a chuckle.

Sunget naman neto!

"I talk to him last friday, As you know he is our Architect for our new clinic. Ang sabi niya, Sinusubukan niya paring mapalapit sayo, dahil iyun ang gusto ni Hope. Ang magkasundo kayo ni Cole" Mr.Reyes said almost trying to change Van's perspective about Cole. "Dad....I think, Im going good with Cole naman. I am actually admiring him because of how he persue me everytime we meet, But still....I want him to work for my trust, He isn't that good as I know...But I don't hate him, I am supporting them since I could see how happy Hope is with him" Van said deeply understanding how his Dad want him to give Cole his trust for Hope.

"That's good, I feel that he will be her last....So we better have an intimate relationship with him. He's good man, I can sense it" Nakangiting Dagdag pa ni Mr.Reyes.

"Dad....speaking off, That topic....I am actually planning to p-" Van was about to tell something when a call from Mr.Reyes interupts. "Wait, I'll just answer this...I'll get back to you later" Nagmamadaling sabi ni Mr.Reyes bago lumabas sa opisina ni Van.
