"What??????" RJ and Maine asked at the top of their lungs. He looked at the young girl and saw the terrified look on her face. Has Mamita lost her mind?
"Dito kayo matutulog ni Maine , mabuti na mag practice na kayo kasi you'll have your baby na" Mamita replied with a smile on her face. "Mamita, have you lost your mind? Seriously? You want me to spend one night in a room with her?" RJ asked with his finger pointed at Maine. After she slapped it away because it hit the inside of her nose, he just kept it inside his pocket.
"Why? what's wrong with that?"
"Mamita, I can list a hundred of things wrong with that" Sebastian then uttered, joining the protest. That made RJ realize something. For the first time in a long time, he and his brother are on the same side.
Much to everyone's surprise, Mamita started laughing. "Mamita, are you alright?" RJ asked her but she did not answer. Sebastian and Maine asked her as well but she just kept on giggling and laughing. The three exchanged looks, thinking that an entity may have possessed her.
"May rosary ako dito" Maine whispered at them. "Rosary? what are you doing with a rosary?" RJ asked her.
"Pangontra sa'yo" she replied and so he glared at her.
"Oh guys ... you three looked so scared" Mamita suddenly said before she revealed her face to them once again. RJ , who is still scared as hell, asked his Mamita what happened.
"I was just kidding. Di naman na kayo maloko. There's no way in this world I would let you and Maine sleep in one room"
RJ , Maine and Sebastian let out their sighs of relief at the same time. He's starting to calm down.
"Maine and I will sleep in one room ... you and Sebastian can have the two rooms for yourselves" Mamita told them right before she pulled Maine towards her. The two ladies then started walking towards the kitchen, leaving the two boys behind. RJ glared at Sebastian before going to his room where he plans to spend most of his time in while they're at this place.

Maine failed yet again to get the answers she's looking for from Sebastian. for just as when he was about to tell it, Mamita came in and interrupted them. Now that it's just her and Mamita in the kitchen preparing the ingredients for their lunch, she intends to use this time to get what she's looking for once and for all.
"Mamita?"
"Oh?"
"Can I ask a question?"
"Sure , ano yun?" she asked.
"Ano pong nangyari kay RJ dati? bakit po ganyan siya ngayon?" she asked , glancing at her back every now and then just to make sure that the lad is not there. "Are you sure you wanna know?" Grandma Faulkerson asked her. Maine nodded vehemently, this is the only way she'll eb able to understand RJ's actions.
"Fine then" Mamita replied before calling the maids to continue what the two were doing. She and Mamita then walked towards the garden outside and sat by the bench. "As you can see Maine , this family is not what it used to be before. Everything is different nung buhay pa mga parents nila, RJ and Sebastian are actually the closest brothers you'll ever know. Para silang kambal ... they do everything together. They looked so cute" Mamita started.
"Ano pong nangyari? Bakit nasira lahat?"
"Life ... life happened to all of us. It started when RJ was 6 and Sebastian was 8. Their parents used to fight in front of them. Gusto ni Ricardo na umuwi sa U.S. pero ayoko ko , at higit sa lahat ... ayaw rin ni Estella dahil malalayo siya sa mga kamag-anak niya dito. Dun nagsimula yung mga away nila until one day , sumabog na lang ang lahat. Dito nangyari sa farm ... yun ang dahilan kung bakit ayaw umuwi ni RJ dito. Pero , kasi ... I believe that you will never be able to get over something until you finally decide to face it and accept what happened. Yun ang dahilang kung bakit dinala ko kayo dito"
