AGA:
Kamusta na kaya si Cassandra ngayon sa school?
LEA:
Why are you asking me when you can message your daughter instead?
AGA:
Sungit naman ni babes. Busy ka? Are you free to have a dinner with the one 'n only, Mr. Muhlach Pogi?
LEA:
To your question "Busy ka" - Not really. Just a quick break then we'll continue taping ulit.
And yep, I'm totally free in the evening.
AGA:
I'm just fulfilling my role as your so called 'Manliligaw' hehe. Sweet ko 'no?
LEA:

AGA:

⚫️Cassandra's POV
I saw Dad's message, Asking if I was okay.
I'm supposed to say not really but I don't want him to feel bad.
I replied yep, I'm fine. Even though I'm not.
Who would be fine with the situation I am in?
Everyone knows how much I work hard just to achieve that position.
"Cassandra?" Catherine called calling my attention.
"Lalim ng iniisip ha." Zayn added.
We're walking around the school.
"A-Ano 'yun?"
"Okay ka lang?"
"Oo... Oo naman."
Pinilit kong ngumiti.
"Random question, What are you expecting for the next Student Council President?" Cathy asked me.
"I'm expecting him or her to be responsible, wise, kind, and will do anything to make our school better." I answered.
"I wish that it would be a boy, It would be a major turn on for me." - Cathy.
I smiled and replied. "Well, Bihira lang sa lalaki ang tatanggap ng ganung responsibilidad. So, I'm guessing me too."
"Talaga lang ha?" Zayn butt in and asked.
"Oo, biruin mo 'yun. Lalaking nagle-lead saatin. Sobrang nakakaturn-on." Cathy explained at him.
Zayn stop from walking.
"I need to go somewhere." He started running.
"You're not going?" I asked shouting.
"I'll follow!" He answered.
Nagkatinginan kami ni Cathy.
"Anong nangyari doon?" Cathy asked me.
"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?"
"You know me too well and my love for singing."
We chuckle and Aga exhale his breath deeply.
"I've missed your company a lot." Aga spilled and smiled brightly at me.
"I'm not going to lie. I miss yours too." I responded automatically.
I bit my lips and thank God the food arrived.
I can still see Aga's cheeks and ears turning into a tomato.
"Sir, Are you okay? Is it the temperature of the room?" A waiter asked him and I'm holding back my laughter.
"No, I'm completely fine. Thank you." Aga responded and they left us with our food on the table.
I cleared my throat and asked. "After this, Can I visit Cassandra?"
"Sure, Lei." He smiled back and we enjoyed our dinner.

Anna, Aga and I are in Cassandra's room watching her sleeping peacefully.
I can't help to notice her scratches and wounds in her body.
I'm still badly worried about her wounds.
I accidentally touched one of it and she immediately reacted. Her forehead creased.
I guess it was really painful.
If I didn't announced her this will not happen.
She slowly opened her eyes.
"What's with the sudden meeting in my room?" She asked us.
Aga sat next to me and faces Cassandra.
"How's your day?" He asked.
"It was okay. There's a new election that will be held for my position-" Cassandra told us and we just let her talk about her day.
I I felt a sudden guilt in me.
"Mom, I know what's the meaning of that face. Please don't blame yourself. Just don't." She said to me.
I smiled at her and nod.
"Sige na. Mommy needs to go now." I kissed her forehead. "I love you." and whispered.
She smiled at me and says. "I love you Mom, Dad and Tita."
We each have a kiss in the cheeks and a hug from her.
We greeted her goodnight and leave.

⚫️Cassandra's POV
School hours have passed by and it's time to go home.
Yay! - sarcastic.
Dad informed me that Tita Raquelle, My Mom's Personal Assistant is waiting at our house.
When Tita and I came home, we saw her at the waiting area of our house with some make-up artists.
She stood up from her seat. "Hi, Cassandra." She greeted me smiling.
I smiled back and say. "Hello po."
"Let's start?"
"P-Po? Ano pong gagawin?"
"We'll just help you get dressed."
I don't know what she was talking about but I just nod.
I sat down as they prepare their brushes etc.
CASSANDRA:
Mom? May I know, Why are they doing this to me?
MOM:
Just let them, Baby. Your Dad and I will talk to you later, Okay?
CASSANDRA:
Alright.
After, My make-up and hair. Tita Raquelle help me get dressed.
She said that Mom pick this black long dress for me.
Dad and Mom arrived at the same time and picked Tita Raquelle and me.
"Cassandra, You'll be having an interview with Tito Boy." Dad informed me and I was a bit startled.
"I want you to be vocal about your feelings and be honest of your answers, understood?" Mom uttered.
I suddenly felt nervous. I nod at them and manage to smile.
When we got at the studio. I saw the host, Tito Boy Abunda.
"Oh my- Pleasure to meet you, Cassandra. Call me Tito Boy." We shake hands as I greeted him back.
He's eyeing me and said. "You're more like Lea.. Sorry Ags." He said to us and saw Mom and Dad laugh.
It's time for the interview and I can feel my hand a little bit shaking.
Mom and Dad are not with me backstage because they are currently sitting in the front row.
"Let us please welcome, The lovely daughter of Mr. Aga Muhlach and Ms. Lea Salonga, Cassandra Selene Salonga-Muhlach." I heard Tito Boy's introduction.
I smiled sweetly while walking my way to the center.
I greeted Tito boy and we took a seat.
"Cassandra, Welcome to the program."
"Thank you po."
"Aware ka ba na hanggang ngayon ang mga LeAga fans ay nagbubunyi at buhay na buhay noong ipinakilala ka noong linggo?" Tito boy asked me.
"Yes, I'm aware po. It was all over my social media." I look at the fans and I smiled. "Thank you for still supporting my parents." They are all cheering.
"Okay lang ba na tinago ka ng magulang mo?" He asked.
I glanced at the seat where Mom and Dad was sitting and smiled.
"Sasagutin 'yan sa ating pagbabalik."
