"What are you waiting for? Go," nakangiting sagot ni Irma kay Aether habang paroon at parito sa harapan ng nanay. "Don't worry. I'll be safe here. Sige na puntahan mo na si Isobelle," dagdag pa nito.
Wal ring nagawa si Aether noong halos ipagtulakan na siya ng kanyang mama na puntahan ng girlfriend. Tumawag sa kanya si Kai at sinabing nasa hotel sila.ni Isobelle at pansamantalang umalis sa bahay.
Aether is reluctant to leave Irma. He knew her mom is capable but the fact that she's alone won't add to his concern.
"Are you sure, 'ma?" tanong nitong naninigurado.
"Of course. Don't worry, anak," sagot nito. "I'll be alright," aniya pa.
Aether left that day. Nakasalubong pa niya ang isang kilalang food delivery person na may bitbit na paper bag na marahil ay may laman na pagkain.
