Jhake never expected that once again he will see his parents together. Because, he is used of being alone. Like, when he was in the US their family barely eat together, talk to each other and enjoy family bonding. Sometimes Jhake hates his parents for being so busy in their businesses. "Anong nakain nila at umuwi sila? Suddenly naalala nila na may anak sila. Wow! Ano ako second option nila?!" he told himself while getting his laptop."Tapos ano?! Nandito nga sila. Wala naman silang ibang bukang-bibig kundi yang business nila. Nakakainis sila!!" Jhake cant help himself to get mad. "Buti pa ung ibang parents, thankful na may anak sila. Ung iba namang walang anak, kung anu-ano na ang ginagawa para magka-anak lang. Sana kung hindi man lang nila ako ituturing na anak nila sana pinamigay na lang nila ako." he said to himself until he found himself crying.

After that dramatic moment he heard a knock on the door. He quickly wiped his tears and looked at the mirror to check if his eyes are still swollen. "Hijo? Are you still awake?" Marian said after knocking. "Uhm, yeah Ma. Im still awake." he replied. "Can I come in?" she said while slightly opening the door. "Sure. Come in." he said in a low tone voice.

Marian noticed Jhake's eyes are a bit swollen. Marian starts to wonder if Jhake is okay. "I have something to tell you Angelo." then she held Jhake's hand. "Dont tell me iiwan nyo na naman ako? Sige okay lang. Go ahead leave me, Im used to it anyway. Dyan naman kayo magaling. You dont deserve me, buti pa ung iba, mahirap nga pero mahal nila ung anak nila. Eh kayo? Ano?" he never thought that it would come out that way. But he felt a relief after saying those things to his mom.

"Angelo! Dont say that! Your father and I love you. Were doing this for your own good. Were trying our best to be a good role model to you. We do this for you." Marian never imagined that Jhake would say that to her after what she and Manuel have done just to give him a better life. "Ma, bakit nabibili na ba ang pagmamahal? Hindi pera ang kailangan ko! Kundi magulang. Mas gusto ko pang maging mahirap kesa mayaman na walang pamilya." Jhake started sobbing. The tears keep on flowing on his sweet cheeks. "I hope you understand us. This is for you. We have to do this for you." she said then she hugged Jhake but Jhake pushed her away. "Ma, e-enough. P-Please go." that's all he can say. Then he locked his door and kept on sobbing. And after 30 minutes of crying he fell asleep.

Marian on the other hand cant forget that rightful moment Jhake said those awful things to her. She felt uneasily, she suddenly wants to talk to Manuel for some reason.

The next day Bea wondered why Jhake's eyes are swollen. She kept on staring at him until Jhake caught her. "Anong tinitingin-tingin mo? Ganon na ba talaga ako kagawapo at umagang umaga pa ay tinititigan mo na ako. Inspiration mo ako no?" nakuha pang magbiro ni Jhake kahit madrama pa ang nangyari kagabi. Kaya naman agad-agad nyang kinuha ung shades nya dahil mukhang napansin ni Bea ung namamagang mata nya.

"Ikaw gwapo? Naks! Ang aga pa at nagti-trip ka na! Ang kapal mo talaga" then she rolled her eyes. "Palusot.com pa. Ayaw pa aminin. Ikaw ha, parang napapadalas yang pagaabang mo sa akin huh?" sabay ngisi nito, naks! kahit ganun nagpacute pa rin ang mokong! LUPEETT! "CHE! Mahiya ka naman. Bahala ka nga dyan!" at umalis na si Bea at naglakad na sya patungo sa room nila.

Out of nowhere three girls blocked Bea's way. Kumbaga parang ung tatlong babae sa Totally spies na ang leader kasing arte ni Mandy. Ung mortal enemy ni Clover. Hahaha!
