"Are you crazy?!" Jake yelled at Vaughn while opening a bottle of Vodka. Kulang na lang yata ay ibato nito ang hawak na bote sa kanya. Bigla na lang itong sumulpot sa opisina niya at may dalang alak. He took two wine glasses from the cabinet at the corner of the office.

"Most people who are in-love tend to be crazy!" natatawa niyang tugon rito.

"Asshole! What if she'll get scared again at layasan ka?" Jake asked smirking. He poured down the vodka on the glasses

"She loves me. She won't do that." Napapailing niyang sagot rito.

"Gago! Pinaglalaruan mo yang asawa mo!" he said scolding habang iniaabot sa kanya ang baso ng alak.

Jake is his closest cousin. Alam nito lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay niya. He was the one who brought back his senses noong halos mabaliw siya sa pag-alis ni Lianna.

He was the first one who told him he was crazy nang magpakasal sila agad ni Lianna pagtuntong ng bansa.

Nagpunta pa nga ito sa opisina noon nang malamang nandoon si Lianna at nagdala pa ng babae para mang-asar. Gusto daw nitong makita ang reaksyon ng asawa niya at kung magseselos ba ito at aawayin yung babae.

Kinantiyawan pa siya nito nang makaalis sila ng opisina. "Cuz, hindi ka ipinaglaban. Sa akin pa nakatingin, crush yata ako." He commented that irritated him. Kaya ayaw niyang lumalapit ito sa asawa niya dahil naiinis siya sa ideyang naguwapuhan nga si Lianna rito.

"Paano 'pag umalis siya ulit?" seryoso nitong tanong pagkatapos lumagok sa hawak na baso.

Vaughn smiled. "She won't," he answered with certainty.

"How sure are you?" ulit naman ng kaharap niya.

"I was expecting her to get mad and leave nang sinabi kong madami akong naging babae noong umalis siya but she never did. She loves me,cuz!" He smiled remembering his wife's beautiful face.

"Isa pa yan. Inamin mo na ba sa kanya ang totoo?"

Vaughn shook his head. She will eventually tell Lianna the truth later on.

"Alalahanin mong buntis 'yang asawa mo." His cousin sounded like an old man reminding him of some things.

"Her pregnancy is normal I made sure of that bago ko ginawa ang mga bagay na ito. Of course, I won't risk the life of my kids."

Lianna is actually okay. Sinabi lang niya sa doctor na i-advise itong magpahinga para maulit ang mga nagyari noon na sa bahay lang ito. Maybe it's a little insane but he wants to make sure if Lianna already changed her view of him.

"You know if I were you, sabihin mo na ang totoo bago pa masira ulit ang pagsasama niyo." Jake said after drinking another shot. Natawa na lang siya sa pinsan.

"Bakit ang aga mong maglasing?" Natatawa niyang tanong. Hindi pa niya iniinom ang laman ng iniabot nitong baso kanina.

"Para magkaroon ako ng lakas para suntukin ka at ng magising sa katotohanan. Mali yang pinaggagawa mo, gago!" Nanghahamon nitong sagot.

Natawa na lang siya sa inaakto ng pinsan niya. He's the only person who could curse at him.

"Telling your wife, you had a lot of women, huh? You're a jerk! Ni hindi ka nga tumitingin sa ibang babae noong umalis siya."
