Cassidy Hurdiss intentionally broke the heart of the one man who has always loved her. She had to set him free so he could fulfill his lifelong dream to be a successful business tycoon in New York City.
Four years later, Aaron Ceyx Monteverde come...

"Ano ngayon ang gagawin mo?" Psyche asked. We're inside Theia's condo right now. The two of them decided to just leave the bar because the festive mood was already ruined.
"Hindi pa naman tayo siguradong buntis ako. Malay mo false alarm lang," nakayukong sagot ko.
Theia—who was leaning on the living room wall—said, "Iniisip mo bang coincidence lang na palagi kang may morning sickness, na moody ka at na mapili ka sa pagkain? And oh, hindi ka pa dinadatnan ng period mo."
I know Theia's pissed off with me. She can't believe Aaron and I had unprotected sex.
Napahaplos ako sa t'yan ko nang wala sa oras. Kung sakaling buntis nga ako, then kailangang malaman ni Aaron na may anak kami.
"Inaantok na ako, bukas nalang natin pag-usapan 'to," sabi ni Psyche. Theia and I nodded, then we headed to the guestroom. Bago ako natulog, naisip ko na naman ang Bicol.
I miss our house, I miss Aling Pacing and Mang Carding. But I guess the thing I miss most is being with Aaron.
Pinilit ko nang ipinikit ang mga mata ko para matulog kahit na puno ng kaba at agam-agam ang sistema ko.

"Fierce look, Cassidy! 'Yan! Perfect!" shouted the photographer. Dahil mahigat isang buwan akong nawala nang walang pasabi ay namroblema si Christia sa talent.

At first he was furious when I appeared on his office yesterday morning. Pero naintindihan niya naman no'ng nag-explain ako. I told him that I needed a job at parang blessing naman na dumating ang isang project.
I put a finger in my mouth and bit it lightly.

After six hours ay tapos na kami. Naghilamos na ako at nagbihis. I was so tired. I slumped on the couch on Christian's office. Tinabihan naman ako ni Psyche na sumama sa photoshoot ko ngayon.
Christian took us to a restaurant. Tinawagan niya si Altheia at dumating naman ito. Ang dami kong gustong kainin. This is so unlike me.
Tapos puro ako soup. I'm starting to like egg drop soup, it tastes heavenly.
"Pang-ilang soup mo na 'yan, Cassi? Aren't you afraid of ruining your diet?" nakakunot-noong tanong ni Christian.
Nagkatinginan sina Psyche at Theia. Napagkasunduan kasi namin na 'wag munang ipaalam kay Christian.
I just grinned at him. "Ang sarap kaya kumain." I answered. Naguguluhang tiningnan niya ako ulit bago ipinagpatuloy ang pagkain.
After dinner ay hinatid niya kami. He dropped us off at Theia's condo.
Theia nodded in his direction and he scratched his head before entering his BMW again. The three of us watched his car speed away.
Pag-akyat na pag-akyat palang namin ng condo ay inilabas ni Theia ang binili niyang pregnancy test kit. Nagmamadaling itinulak na nila ako papasok ng CR.
"Wait!" Alma ko dahil kinakabahan din ako.
I opened the pack and read the directions. Sinunod ko 'yong mga dapat gawin. My heart drummed while I was waiting for the result inside the restroom.
Nang puwede nang makita ang resulta ay unti-unti ko itong tiningnan. Tumakas ang kulay sa buong mukha ko nang makita ko ang resulta. Gusto kong maiyak at hindi ko na ito napigilan. Napahagulgol ako.
Theia and Psyche pounded the door.
"Cassi! Open this door!" sigaw ni Theia.
"Hindi mo kailangang sarilinin 'yan. Please open this door." Nanginginig na pinihit ko ang door knob. The moment they saw my crying face, they pulled me in their arms and enclosed me with a hug.
Theia said, "Based from your reaction, I'm guessing the result is positive."
