"Don't worry, I will do my best to comfort Justin as possible as I can. I understand both of your situation. I also experienced that when I was a kid like him. I always misses my parents whenever they're not there by my side."-ngumiti na lamang ako para maitago ang nasa loob ng nararamdaman ko. I was also separated from my biological parents when I was around 5 years old. Napilitan ang mga new parents ko na ampunin nalang ako. But it was all worth it.
"Thanks for your understandings. You're the only doctor that shows concern towards their patient's situation. I wish maraming doctor na tumulad sayo."-ani niya at tinignan ako ng may pagtanaw ng utang na loob.
"Ehemm!"-biglang nakigitna si Shan at kumuha ng dishes sa harap namin.
"Kakainin ko nalang ang inorder niyo, baka kunin ng mga langgam eh. Lalo na't the conversation is getting sweet!"-palusot niya at napatawa nalang kami ng mahina.

Jake's POV:
Habang tumatagal ay mas lalong napapalapit ang kalooban ko kay Doc Sam. Siya ang pangalawang nagparamdam sakin neto after my wife. I can't believe na siya lang ang marunong umintindi kay Jorren. And I absolutely like it.

Habang kumakain kami ay naisipan kong kunin itong chance para makunan ko ng litrato si Doc ng sekreto. I just want to save her photo as one of my closest person.
After a few seconds ay nakakuha ako ng mga litrato sa kanya. I hide it inside my gallery and didn't told her about it. After awhile, I stopped when my phone suddenly rings.
It's a call from my secretary*
"Excuse me for awhile." Napatingin sila sakin nang sinagot ko ang tawag.
"Hello, what's the matter?"-I answered. Maya-maya ay nagsimula siyang magpaliwanag tungkol sa nangyari sa Office. Damn it, Cristina!
"Fine, I'm on my way.."-I said before ending the call.
"Aalis ka na?"-malungkot na tanong ni Shan.
"Yes, It's an important call from my secretary. By the way, Doc Sam.."-tawag ko at napatingin siya sakin.
"Can you deliver this cake for me? I don't have a time to visit Justin. I hope that gives you matter."-bilin ko at ngumiti siya.
"No problem.. Just take care!"-sagot niya at nginitian ko lang siya bago dali-daling umalis. Di ako makapaniwalang unti-unting lumalabas ang totoong anyo ni Cristina. She abused my son and now she's complaining about what I did? She's totally got insane!
Sam POV
- (At the Hospital)*
Papunta ako sa room ni Justin dala-dala ang cake na pinabilin ni Ash. I just hope he don't look for his Dad. Baka madismaya siya pag di niya makita si Ash. Maya-maya ay nakita kong lumabas ang Services Assistant mula sa kwarto ni Justin na may bitbit na pagkain.
"Doc Sam, the patient is now awake."- tawag ng Services Assistant nang makarating na ako sa room ni Justin.
"So How is he?"-concern kong tanong at tinignan ang bitbit niyang pagkain.
"I already tried to feed him but He rejected me instead."-paliwanag niya at bigla akong nag-alala.
"Fine, leave it to me then."-volunteer ko at dinala ang meal sa loob. After a first glance, I already saw Jorren who is madly crying. I think he was dissapointed for not seeing his father by his side.
"J-justin..."-mahina kong tawag pero patuloy lang siya sa pag-iyak.
Tinakpan rin niya ang sarili niya ng makapal na kumot na tila ayaw magpakita.
"Juatin.. it's me, your Doctor."-tawag ko nang makalapit nako sa kanya. Di siya sumagot at patuloy sa pag-iyak. Naawa tuloy ako sa kalagayan niya. Umupo ako sa gilid ng kama niya and displayed his meal in the table beside his bed and comfront him.
"Justin... don't you feel hungry? Look, your Dad delivered a cake for you."-paglalambing ko sa kanya. Maya-maya ay tinanggal niya ang kumot sa ulo at tinignan ang table.
"Hmmp!"-rinig ko mula sa kanya at lumingon sa kabilang side.
"Justin, your Dad will come tomorrow so be good and eat your dinner.. please!"- alok ko pero hindi siya kumibo. Medyo gumaan rin ang pakiramdam ko dahil humina na ang pag-iyak niya. Mukhang hindi yata nakikinig si Justin sakin. Lumapit ako at hinawakan ang makapal niyang buhok. I just want to comfort him. He's just a lonely kid.
"Don't you know? Your Dad said he's going to show you around to the best places once you get recovered? So please, start eating your food.."-bulong ko sa kanya. Makalipas ang ilang segundo ay naisipan niya ring rumesponde sa wakas.
"So you're excited, huh?"- pananabik ko at umiling siya habang nakasimangot.
"Aysus! Stop acting like cute 'cause you're already cute!"- sabay pinch sa dalawang pisngi niya.
"Aaahh!"-sigaw niya kaya natauhan ako.
"Oops! Sorry, Justin!"- saka tinanggal ang mga kamay ko sa kanya.
"I just can't help it. You're actually cute if you smile!"-nakangisi kong sabi sabay guhit ng ngiti sa mukha niya.
Maya-maya ay natigilan kami ng marinig ko ang tunog ng pagkagutom mula sa tiyan niya. Agad niya itong tinakpan at napailing-iling na tila ba hindi daw siya ang may kagagawan nun.
"Aha! Look whose starving now!"- I teased him and teased him until He finally gives up.
"So you finally admit. I told you to eat before.. Let's go.."-giit ko at tumango naman siya.
Di ko maiwasang matuwa dahil natuto na rin siyang makinig. He's easy to comfront but hard to have a conversation with.
"Here.."-sabi ko sabay subo sa kanya. He willingly opens his mouth and started to eat his meal. After that, I sliced the cake for him and filled his empty stomach again.
"Are you full now?"-tanong ko at tumango naman siya sabay ngiti.
"Good boy! That's the good way, Justin!"-at niyakap siya ng marangal.
Parang gusto ko na rin magkaroon ng anak na katulad ni Justin. I feel envy now treating a kid but I don't have my own. Tinanggal ko ang pagkakayakap sa kanya at tinitigan siya sa mukha.
"So don't cry and sleep now before midnight.. You're gonna see your father tomorrow morning."-paalam ko at ngumiti lang siya ng matamis at humiga sa kama niya. Kinumutan ko siya and then kissed his forehead as a sign of Goodnight.

Jake's POV:
"Good evening Sir Jake!"-bati ng mga stuffs nang dumating ako sa company.
"Good evening po Sir!"-nakita ko nalang si Secretary Franky na hanggang ngayon ay magulo pa rin ng kunti ang buhok.
"Tell me what she did."-I uttered when I sat on my Table.
"S-Sir, I think... we should hire more security guards.. Because she already broke through our guards.. And we cannot let her pass again. Lalo na't pinagbantaan niya po kami."-sumbong niya at napakumot nalang ako ng kamao.
"Fine.. I'll hire some guards then and make the safety of this company doubled."-I approved at her suggestion and called my Personal Body Guard, Drake to tell him about it.
"Sir, She was triggered earlier for seeing the news about your break up. Should we revise the article?"-he said whispering to my ear.
"Don't, I'll let her family do whatever they want. And I'm seriously not gonna cooperate with that Organization. I'm going to cut any connections between our company and that group!"- I decided now to finally forget about Jack Montemayor after what he did to me. He is using his daughter just to get closed with us and corrupt our company again. How pathetic. That tiny plan won't work on me.
"Alright, your command is my will."-he said before turning his self on me.
"France,tell the MD that I'm going to set a Seminar alongside with our group. I want to announce my decision on them now."-tawag ko sa kanya and she showed me a shock face expression.
"Sir? Right now po?"-she unbelievably asked.
"I said NOW."-matigas kong sabi at dali-dali siyang lumabas. I had an amazing plan too Mr. Jack. Just wait for my payback turn.
