BEAUTY woke at the wrong side of the bed that morning. She felt so sick again. Halos isang linggo na siyang ganito.She always wakes up in the morning feeling nauseated even when her stomach is empty.“What's wrong?” she felt Euh Jin fondled her back. Panay din ang pagpisil nito sa kanyang palad.Nagtataka din siya. “Naduduwal a—” She covered her mouth and closed her eyes. She was having hand tremors. Naramdaman niyang binuhat siya ni Euh Jin papuntang bathroom.“Here hon. Isuka mo lang iyan.” Masuyo siya nitong ibinaba sa carpeted floor ng bathroom. She vomited successfully when she saw the inviting sink. Darn it! I feel so ill!

She smiled when she felt Euh Jin lifted her waist, transferring her to his lap."Watching," she eagerly answered him. She was really teased by his tickles on her ear."Our wedding again?" he moaned with conviction."Ah ha," sang-ayon niya. Marahan nitong inagaw ang tablet mula sa kanya.

“WHY didn't you tell me the truth?” Euh Jin spoke after being silent, looking at his father seriously. Pinuntahan nila ito ng kanyang asawa. Beauty was at the living room, while he went to see his father upstairs, at his study room. “You know the answer already, son.” Tumayo ito at nakapamulsang tumalikod sa kanya. Love. “I can’t believe you loved her despite of everything.” “That’s how Austen men love. Unconditional, and eternal.” Yeah. He mentally agree. “I’m also at fault. Napabayaan ko siya. Nawalan ako ng oras sa kanya habang pinapalago ang negosyong pinamana ng lolo mo. Hindi ko naisip na unti unti na palang lumalayo ang loob niya sa akin.” “I’m sorry, Dad.” For the very first time, he called his father without sarcasm. “You’re forgiven son. Please forgive your mother.” He stared at Tonio

BEAUTY sat on the visitor's chair while waiting for her husband to finish his board meeting. Napagdesisyonan niya kasing bisitahin ito sa kanyang opisina so here she is."Hi," Alistong napasulyap sa nakaawang na pinto si Beauty nang maulinigan ang boses ni Tonio."Nasa meeting po siya," pagngiti niya. Ngayon lang ulit niyang nakita ang ama ng asawa niya."I know." He turned back a smile to her. "I just want to talk to you, hija." He sat on the distal chair facing her."How are you?" pangungumusta nito."Okay naman po. Masaya." Her lips curved a grin.Tonio warmly looked at her. "I can see he's very happy with you. I'm glad you’re the reason for his changes. I was right with my decision then.""Po?""Hija, I'm sorry." Tonio sighed heavily.

Nang matapos itong umawit sa kanya ay bumaba ito ng stage. Naguguluhan pa din siyang nakatingin rito.“Hon, even if you’re not telling me, I know you’re worr
