I'm now in my room. After what happened a while ago, Jerwin takes me here and said that I should rest. Tatawagin nalang daw nya ko if ever magdidinner but I suddenly remembered my favor. I asked if I can cooked our dinner! Tumayo ako at mabilis na nagpalit nang damit. Komportableng damit at saka ako lumabas. I tied my hair into a bun para hindi maging sagabal pag nagluto ako. I got into the kitchen. Agad akong dumiretso sa tapat nang refrigerator at nakitang puno yung stock non. He came prepared. I wonder who puts this on his ref. Did he have a.. like, someone who cleans his condo? I spotted a pork and some ingredients that I can use to make Nilagang Baboy. Napagdesisyunan kong ito nalang ang lutuin. Maliban sa namimiss kong kainin ito, I know Jerwin also likes this dish. Madali ko lang nahanap ang mga utensils na kailangan. I took out my phone. I'm gonna watch some tutorial or guide.

"Ready?" He asked while fixing his tie. Humarap naman ako sakanya and I immediately smile when I saw him looking at me with a smile. Last look at my appearance, I nodded and walked near him. Last night when he confessed that he's Jefferson. We talked and talked until we both fell asleep. I asked him why his face changed but he diverted the topic kaya hindi ko na pinilit. He seems uncomfortable talking about that. Did he change his face so that my Dad wouldn't continue his plan on killing him? But, my Dad seems to know that it's him since narinig ko yung usapan nila ni Mommy non. After talking, we both fell asleep. Next to each other. I remembered hugging him. Feeling the same feeling back then and it all come back. My heart feels satisfied after a long time knowing that Jefferson is back now. "Hey? Come inside now. Mainit dyan baka mapawisan ka" My thoughts vanished

I immediately go to get my things and pull out clothes to change when we got to his condo. I sighed as I started to comb my hair. Nahiga ako sa kama at kinuha ang phone ko. I remembered my Mom. I should call her. Jefferson opened the door and smiled. He's now wearing a white cotton shirt and black shorts. He sits in my bed and taps the space beside me, asking if he could lay down. I nodded and started dialing my mother's number. Jefferson wrapped his arms around my waist and burried his face on my hair. I closed my eyes and leaned on his chest as I wait for my mother to answer. "Who are you calling, hm?" He whispered. "My mom. I want to know how she's doing" sagot ko kasabay nang pagsagot nang tawag mula sa kabilang linya. "Mom?" I called. A silence greeted me. Until I heard sobs. My eyes instantly opened and I immediately sit up causing Jefferson to sit up too.

He quietly went beside me and lied down. He faced me but he didn't say something. He just stared. "My mom... I know, h-how she h-hurt us by how she insulted you back then" I started speaking. Umayos nang higa si Jefferson. Lumapit sya nang mas malapit sakin but still, he didn't speak. "But, I can't stay mad at her. I c-can see how she regret that and on those y-years, I manage to forgive her and also, my Dad. She always tells me how sorry she was and ramdam ko naman na bumabawi sya don. When I told her that I wanted to work, she seems hesitant but I insisted since I know how much she missed our life before. I started working to your company. She seems hesitant to let me at first when she heard about me working at Rivera's. Yun pala, alam nya yung nangyari noon. She knew what my father.. did to you.." My tears started to fall. Jefferson immediately wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. I leaned my head on his chest

I woke up and my eyes immediately shuts dahil sa hapdi. My head also hurts. I got up and glance around. I stared at the figure beside me. There's Jefferson, sleeping beside me. Hindi ko man lang napansin but I found myself staring at him. This man is always there for me. Mula noon hanggang ngayon. Kahit nung panahong hindi ko pa alam na sya pala si Jefferson. He's always there. He always cares. I slowly leaned forward and kissed his forehead before I stood up. I wanna see my mom. Naghilamos ako at nag ayos. I didn't change my clothes. I'm still wearing a black blouse and black jeans at saka ako lumabas. I'm surprised to see Yohan, Tanya, Hera and Emman on the living room, sleeping. Where's Reishell and Yuan, tho? I glanced one last time at them and a small smile etched on my lips and I go outside. There are some people who's already there and I saw
