"Malay ko." I simply answered and went to the cafeteria.

Mang Oscar picked me up since Tita still need to do a lot of things.

"Rest when you got home." Tita uttered and hug me.

"Bye." I said and went inside the car.

When I got home, I took a shower and did my homeworks at my room.

I got bored by looking at my finished homework.

I noticed the box with unwanted written in it.

"I was so dramatic back then." I told to myself and laughed.

I put all my Mom's gifts back to where it belong.

Then, My phone received a message.

DAD:
Are you at home na, sweetie?

CASSANDRA:
Yes, Dad.

DAD:
Your Mom and I will be having a dinner, would you like to come?

CASSANDRA:
No, thank you. I will join Tita for dinner naman. Enjoy po kayo and Dad, Goodluck!（＾∇＾）

DAD:
Thanks, Sweetie. Have any tips that would help me? Just a lil' nervous.

CASSANDRA:
I thought you're an expert when it comes to dating? Anyway, Buy flowers, a gift, no sweets please- remember, Mom uses her voice a lot.

DAD:
I haven't gone to any date since your Mom left, you know? Thanks again! Make sure to rest since you have more free time now. Love you!

CASSANDRA:
I love you too, Dad.

⚫️Lea's POV

The restaurant was dim and filled with lights.

I was expecting a lot of people in this place.

Miraculously, Aga was here first.

He was standing right in front of me and holding a bouquet of flowers.

He's in his formal clothes and so am I since I did a taping.

I approached him and kissed his cheeks.

"Hi, flowers for you."

"Thank you, I bet I can now make my own flower shop."

Aga laughed and assist me to my seat.

We've talked for a little while.

"It's crazy to think that we've been apart for sixteen years huh?" Aga started a conversation.

"I agree. You've really become more mature." I replied and smiled.

"Well, Cassandra made me the man I am today. She taught me the real meaning of responsibility." Aga kiddingly said that makes me giggle.

"About your business? What do you exactly do? I'm just a little curious since you're really busy." I asked curiously.

"My business is a service type of business. Renovation and interior design services to be exact. How about you? Still roaming around the world doing concerts and theater plays?"
