Y/N's POV

"Oh, nak? Saan ang punta mo?" Tita asked nang makita akong kinukuha yung bag ko.

"May emergency po sa site, tinawagan ako nung secretary ko and I need to go there po asap," I explained.

"Where's Jill again?" Tricia asked nang mapansin na wala na naman si Jill sa loob ng condo.

And then I suddenly remembered what happened sa room kanina.

"Bubby.."

Humiwalay si Tricia at tumingin kay Jill na ngayon ay nasa pinto.

"Jill," Tricia called her.

"Ate Trish," Jill answered and tried her best to smile. "You.. you look good.. together,"

Tricia smiled at her. "Don't sabi muna kina Mama, ha?" She intertwined our fingers. "Gusto ko sa amin manggaling, so secret muna natin, okay?"

Jill didn't even bothered to look at me even just for a split second. She giggled. "Yeah, sure. Congrats sa inyo,"

"Not yet official, but we'll get there right, Y/N?" She looked at me.

I slowly nodded.

"I'll.. go now. Sorry for disturbing both of you."

She said that while smiling. But what Tricia didn't see is that..

A tear escaped Jillian's eyes before walking away and closing the door.

Tricia suddenly hugged me at hinayaan ang ulo n'ya na mag rest sa dibdib ko.

"Thank you," she said.

"For what?"

"For existing." She hugged me tighter.

I hugged her back after hearing those words.

It's all clear now.

I like her.

I like the Doctora of the Robredo Family.

I like Tricia.

"Pag labas ng room mo, nag paalam na lalabas daw s'ya saglit," Ate Aiks answered. "Hindi na rin natin kasabay kakain si Y/N?"

"I think no na, Ate. I'm sorry, I really have to go na," I apologized. They're all hoping na makakakain kami sabay sabay.

"Sana makabalik si Jill maya maya," Tricia said. "I'll try to call her,"

"I'll tingin din po kung makakasalubong ko s'ya pag labas ko," offer ko. Baka mamaya ay nasa labas lang s'ya at makasalubong ko ulit. "I'll go na po, they need me na raw po,"

"Ingat, anak. Text me once makarating sa site if you have time," Tita reminded me.

"I will, Tita."

"Text me if you need anything, kami na ang bahala kina Lian," bilin naman ni Ate Aiks.

Nag paalam ako kay Inay at kay Lian bago tuluyang lumabas ng unit. Tricia is still with me.

"Do you want me to hatid you sa baba?" She offered.
