"Aileen, that's enough," ani Kit pagpasok ng bahay ni Aileen.
"What the hell are you doing here?,"
"Ngayon ko lang nalaman ang nangyari," ani Kit which made Aileen roll her eyes.
"Oh tapos?,"
"Are you okay?," tanong sakanya ni Kit.
"NO!! Yung mga alas ko wala na, I bet chase hates my guts now, wala na talaga," ani Aileen na halata ang galit at irita sa tono.
May sasabihin sana si Kit pero tumunog ang telepono ni Aileen.
"Yes mom?... I'm fine here... no really... I have my friends here... I'm doing well.... maybe... I don't know... please don't force me to go there.... okay... bye..." pagpatay ni Aileen sa maikling tawag nagsalita agad si Kit.
"My mom, she's asking me to go back to Boston," anito.
"Why don't you do that then? You know, para you get a breath of fresh air," Kit suggests.
"No, ang gusto ko si Chase, him only," anito.

Gumising na ang 10 Thorns mula sa kani-kanilang mga kuwarto sakanilang tambayan.
Bumungad agad sa kanilang pagbaba si Mark at Gil na kakatapos lamang magluto.
"Oh sht," mura ni Chase pagbaba.
"I forgot that I threw my phone last night," anito.
"No worries bro, papunta rin ako ng Mall mamaya, puwede kang sumabay sakin and buy one," ani Hermes at sumangayon naman si Chase sa plano nito.
Umupo na silang lahat sa hapag at kumain na.
Last night was fun, they had few drinks and deep conversations, the time has come, they're gonna separate ways eventually, Hindi naman kasi pare-pareho ang mga propesyong pinili nila.
Just one last bonding, according to them.
After eating, nagkani-kaniyang paalam na lahat at pumunta na si Hermes at Chase sa Mall.
"You ok bro?," Hermes asks randomly to his friend.
"Yeah, why?," asks Chase.
"You're fresh from the drama like a teleserye, you're fresh from a breakup, so it's obvious that I should ask you how I feel," ani Hermes.
"It's new to hear you say the word drama and teleserye, I thought you're not a tv kind of guy?," tanong ni Chase.
Hermes looks at him na parang iba,
"Dude, don't tell me may tirada kang artista?," gulat na tanong ni Chase when he caught up with the foreign look Hermes gave.
"Hell nah, kahit pagtagain niyo pa ako ng kutsilyo, di ako papatol sa mga ganon," dahil sa sinabi na ito ni Hermes napatawanng saglit si Chase.
"Back to you, how are you coping?," Hermes changes the topic.
"Actually, I'm conflicted, di ko alam kung susundan ko ba si Ara dun o pababayaan na lang siya, I don't want to be that kind of selfish again, because the last time I did, I lost her," ani Chase.
"well, whatever you do, if it's right then you got my support dude, lets go and buy a new phone," dinaan na lamang ni Hermes sa tawa pars gumaan kahit papaano.
——
The ambiance here in their house in Colorado makes Ara feel comfortable. It's her first actual day here, and tomorrow, Yra will arrive.
"Anak,"
"Pa?," Ara answers her father.
"I know you just graduated from senior high school, but I was wondering where do you want to go to college?," tanong ng ama kay Ara.
"I want to study sa Pilipinas pa, but now, I'm not quite sure," ani Ara na halatang wala pang kongkretong desisyon.
Why? Should I go back?
