continuation.... Lia's POV:Ethan keeps driving but hindi niya ako kinakausap. He is not even asking what happened that I got this cast on my arm. I tried looking out of the window pero nainip ako at napatitig sa kanya habang nagda-drive siya. "What?" He asked, napansin ata niyang nakatitig ako sa kanya. "I'm completely fine just incase you'll ask." I said. He gave me a quick glance. "Next day samahan mo ako sa school, i'll process my papers for transfer." Saad ko habang chill lang at nakatingin parin sa kanya, as if hindi kami nagtalo few days ago.

Mom and Dad were determined and Auntie and Uncle had no objections. I was happy aaminin ko, when Ethan said he will marry me and gave me this ring that's hanging on the necklace I am wearing. But the thought of --- "Is he doing this out of guilt? Napipilitan lang ba siya?" That keeps on repeating all over my head. Napabuntong hininga ako. How can I marry him if he doesn't love me? Hindi naman hinihingi yung love, kusa yung binibigay. I bumped my head for the nth time sa pillow ko. Maraming bumabagabag sa isip ko. I tried to close my eyes to sleep but then, suddenly I saw a message that pops on my phone screen. It's Ethan, he is asking me to talk to him.-------Nasa mini park kami ng Subdivision. Pagkarating namin sa mismong playground, naupo ako sa isang swing.

Saad ni Lio. "Magsuklay ka nga." Tinanggal nito ang tali ni Lia sa buhok na kanina ay naka bun, now it flows freely on her back. Tinaasan siya ng kilay ni Lia, hindi nila napansin na nakatingin na sa kanila si Ethan, Marie at ang Mommy nila. Inis na inis si lia sa kapatid niya lalo na at kakagisi

continuation.... Author's POV: Everyone gathered inside the hall.“Good evening everyone!” Harold greeted the people around the venue. “Thank you for spending time with us in this special event that we prepared for everyone in the celebration for merging the Lee Corporation with Luna Real Estate and The Zodiac Corporation. My business composed in different varieties from Hotels and Resorts to Farm production. Merging with The Luna is a great idea for me. Mr. Luna and I had thought of it more than twice as we both considered our business partners. Our merging won’t really affect to our existing partners but we guarantee that this will help the management of our business and both of us will help each other in filling in to those what we lack in both sides. We promised that as our business had grown enough these past years, you will expect more growth in the future.” Mr. Lee said. 

continuation.... Lia's POV: Fast forward, ilang araw na ang lumipas mula ng opening ng school year. Wala namang nagbago, yung routine ko tuwing nag-aaral gaya parin ng dati maliban na lang sa fact na may asawa na ako pero I’m still using my last name since we are still hiding our marriage from the people. With our group of friends, si Kendra lang at Fernan ang nakaka-alam. “Feeling ko talaga ang haggard ko na, biruin mo kakaumpisa pa lang ng pasukan kinailangan na nating mag-dobleng tiyaga.” Reklamo ni Kendra. Kasalukuyan kaming kumakain ng lunch. Kasama namin si Ethan at Fernan. “Nagreklamo ka pa eh paano naman kung uumpisahan na yung submission ng thesis natin.” Saad ko sabay subo. “Babe! Chill kahit magmukha ka pang baliw, ikaw pa rin ang pinakamagandang babae sa mata ko.” Saad ni Fernan sabay niya sinuboan si Kendra. Napatawa ako saglit ang
