Maria and James are in a hurry because they will be caught by a vagrant in their barangay.When Maria turned the doorknob, she was surprised because the door was not locked. He quickly entered their residence and saw that nothing had changed. He also looked at the piggy bank under the bed and it was still there with the titles of their land and business in Ilo-Ilo.Maria just helped James in the shower until his brother was put to bed.

Cindy added."Don't worry. I'm really fine. One more thing and I have a duty.""Hey, that's weird. You've done nothing but work. We're not milking you? Where's your money going?""I'm saving because I want to study.""Hey, life is difficult. But go ahead if that's what you want.
