Meanwhile at the bel-air estates..
Marco and his family is having a get together at the living room of their mansion, drinking champagne and chatting with their guest while listening to her little sister playing a piano..
Marco's mom and dad are talking to their guest, exchanging compliments here and there, while marco is standing at the corner with a beautiful brunette.
"So um.. Aren't you nervous on your first day of college tomorrow?" The brown haired girl asked marco habang si marco naman ay parang nahihiya na kausap ito
"Um.. I am actually. But I'm trying my best not to." Marco said while avoiding her gaze
It seems like the girl has an effect on him as he keeps on rubbing the back of his neck because of nervousness
"Oh." The girl looked down at her feet while smiling shyly "Any fraternity that caught your eye?"
"I was thinking about following my father's footstep on joining theta omega." Marco said awkwardly
"I-is that so?" The girl said with an obvious disappointment on her voice
"I-I mean.. I was just thinking about it. So maybe AD or SC." Pagkasabi nun ni marco ay tila ba bigla nabuhayan ang babaeng kausap
"Really?" The girl said as her face lights up
"Y-yeah." Marco said as he smiled awkwardly at her
"Give me a call if you got in, okay?" The girl said as marco nods at her while smiling, a red stain on his cheeks
After she said that, there was an awkward long pause between them habang ang babae naman ay nililibot ang mata sa paligid na parang may inaantay ito.
"Can I ask you something?" The girl asked marco in a whisper
"Y-yeah sure." Marco said
"Pupunta ba yung pinsan mo na si lucas?" The girl asked marco
"Um.. I don't know." Marco said, halata dito ang pagtataka kung bakit ito naitanong ng babae
"I was just asking 'cause he was your cousin. Don't get the wrong idea.." The girl said, an obvious uneasiness on her as she excused herself to marco
Napabuntong hininga na lamang si marco as he watches her leave

"Marco!" His mom called out to him from across the living room, agad naman lumapit si marco dito
"Why don't you greet your auntie vivien? It was her birthday that's why we threw this party for her."
Nang makalapit si marco sa kanyang ina ay agad ito nagtungo sa kaibigan ng kanyang ina as he gave her a peck on the cheek as a greeting and respect
"Happy birthday, auntie." Marco said with a smile
"Your son is really well behaved, my daughter julia and him is a perfect match." Pagkasabi nito ng kaibigan ng kanyang ina ay agad naman sumang ayon ang ina ni marco sa sinabi nito na ikinapula naman ni marco
"I've heard, medicine ang kursong kinuha mo?" Pahabol ng babae "That was impressive hijo, your father must be so proud of you."
"Ofcourse. Marco is looking up to his father's achievements, he has been his number one fan and it's marco's dream to be just like him." Marco's mom said
Ngumingiti na lamang si marco sa kanyang ina at sa kaibigan nito ngunit halata dito na napipilitan lamang ito, mukhang labag sa kalooban nito ang kursong kanyang kinuha sa kolehiyo
