Richard was busy signing some paperworks when his phone rings. He read the name and smiled.

"Ang kulit talaga!" Je blurted out.

He gave it a swipe and answered the call.

"Hello? Ang kulit mo talaga.. pupunta nga ako bukas.. promise.. nagdala pa nga ako ng pineapples from Ormoc kasi matagal mo ng request yun diba.." He chuckles as the caller tells him something.

"Yes. Nasa Manila na ako kaya imposible na mawala ako bukas.. sabi mo kasi kumpleto tayo and besides, I wouldn't miss this for the world.. okay, see you, bye!" He hung up happily.

Richard was busy fixing his polo when Lucy enters their bedroom.

"Hon, ayaw mo ba talaga sumama?"

Lucy smiles and approached him to fix his collar.

"Wag na lang.. naglalambing si Juliana eh. She wants to stay in and watch netflix with me."

"Sure, ha?"

"Yes. You go and enjoy. Besides, it's your time to be with your friends. Just don't drink and drive!"

"Yes, hon!" He gave her a kiss before leaves.

"Papa Gomz!" They both chuckled as Coco still calls him his pang-asar during Walang Hanggan days.

"Saan na 'yong iba?" Richard asks.

"Di ka late ngayon, Papa. Konti palang nandito eh!"

Richard is really way too early. The party will start at 6:00 P.M. but he's already there.

"Tara, pasok tayo. Nandoon na sila Direk sa loob."

They enter Coco's beautiful home to meet the others.

Six months ago, Richard received an invitation from Coco Martin. A post-Christmas/reunion of their teleserye 6 years ago. He was about to say his regrets because his family was planning to go out of the country for the holidays but then something came up and there he is. Besides, Coco has been bugging him to go.

They approach their former colleagues, funny that the usual late ones are there early.

"Kayo talaga! Basta kainan at inuman maaga!" Richard jokes and they laughed.

He sat down as Coco offers him some wine.

"Kuya o! Parang dati lang!"

"Salamat!"

They share stories while waiting for the others.

Dawn is stuck in traffic on her way to Coco's home.

Ayisha was having tantrums that's why she left the house later than usual.

Coco has been bugging her, calling her every 5 minutes, asking her where she is.

"Mommy Dawn! Saan ka na? Ikaw nalang wala dito."

She loves how Coco still calls her "Mommy Dawn".

"Still stuck in EDSA but I think we're near already."

"Okay. Kanina ka pa niya inaantay." Coco teases her.

Dawn giggles. "Ikaw talaga, 'nak! Sige na, i'll see you in a bit!"

"See you, Mommy Dawn!"
