“THIS place. . . It seems familiar to me.” Meredith said when Randall took her to a park where Christmas Lantern was now being held.Every year, that place is opened for families that want to spend Christmas together. And she had never been there before.'Barbara and Clayton used to go there on Christmas day,’ Randall wanted to voice out but he didn’t.“Did you like it?” he asked instead.“Of course! I like this place! It’s so beautiful!”“Like you,” he added.She narrowed her eyes at him. “Are you collecting our debt that’s why you’re flattering me so much?”“Debt? I don’t recall you owing me anything.” “Hey! I’m not joking around here.”“Are we going to fight over that matter again?”“But—”“Fine! If that makes you feel better, then just pay the interest so you don’t have to worry about it anymore.”She turned to face him right away. “Interest? I thought you weren’t going to charge us interest on our debt?”“I’m sorry to inform you, but I’ve changed my mind.”She folded her arms. “

“STILL busy with your training?” John Person’s father asked when he arrived at their house.He tiredly dropped his body on the sofa. “Yeah! We need to maintain our title that’s why we need to work harder because we’ve heard that our opponent swims like a sailfish.”Sailfish are considered the fastest fish in the ocean.“Are you sure you can compete?”“Why? Have you lost faith in me, dad?” he joked.His father shook his head. “Well, I’m a little bit guilty because you’re still studying yet I trained you right away in running our company.As a swimmer, one of the things they need to consider is their health. Particularly, proper sleep. Adequate rest improves the body’s reflexes.And for him, it’s really hard to sleep when your heart is at war with your mind.“Are you worried about me, thinking of her all the time?” he asked.“Of course, I will! You’re my only son, remember? My sole heir. Especially now that your memories have returned.”“My mind and heart are at odds. My heart tells me

“CONGRATULATIONS!” Meredith happily congratulated Randall when the BSU Swimming Team won the championship before the end of the year.The Championship was also held at BSU because it has the largest Swimming Pool among all the Universities in the country.Randall released himself from the hug to kiss Meredith on her forehead. “Thank you! I wouldn’t have won if it wasn’t for my lucky charm.”She frowned. “Lucky charm? What lucky charm is that?”He put his arm around her waist. “It’s not what, it’s who!”She narrowed her eyes at him. “Who is it then?”“Seriously?! Who else could be my lucky charm? Of course, you!”She flushed and couldn’t help but smile because he only meant one thing: she was his inspiration for winning the competition.“Help!” That scream drew their attention from the deep pool.“Shanaia!” Meredith shrieked when she saw Shanaia drowning.Randall was about to jump when his Captain got ahead of him.Meredith’s chest was filled with fear and trepidation as she saw her fr

“THIS will be your room. I hope you’ll like it,” John Person said when they reached Shanaia’s room in their own house.They went straight to the house their parents bought for them after they started dating. They should get married first before living there, but they decided to live there ahead of time. “Of course, I like it! Who wouldn’t be if all I can see is my favorite color?” she answered and sat on the soft bed.John Person smiled. “Well, that’s good to hear! My room is right across from yours, so if you need anything, just say so, okay?”“Okay!”Since they are not married yet, their rooms will be separate for the time being. There are three rooms in the house, but the master bedroom is locked. They will use it when they are married. He was about to leave her room when Shanaia asked something. “Hey! Why is the pool empty?”Shanaia is currently looking out the window and she could see the pool from there.”“I decided to remove it after your drowning incident.”“What?! But, why?

“WHERE do you intend to spend New Year's Eve?” Marylex asked when they finally finished three movies.Shanaia answered first. “John Person just told me that our family is planning to spend New Year’s Eve here.”“As for Dad, we will be celebrating in the province where his farm is,” Marylex added.They both looked at her. “And what about you, Mer?”“Since Randall celebrated Christmas at home, I’m going to his Grandma’s house to meet his Abuela and his Dad.”“So, are you going to tell them about the agreement you two made with Don Warrick?”“The truth is, Randall has already told them about that matter that’s why his grandma and dad wanted to see me in person.”“So, are you excited to meet them?” Marylex asked.“I’m excited but nervous as well,” she admitted.Shanaia put her arms around her shoulder. “Don’t be, okay? I’m sure they will like you.”“That’s right! Besides, even if they object, there’s nothing they can do to separate you and Randall because you’re already married.”She took

“W-WHERE are we going?” Meredith suddenly asked Randall when the road he was taking was not the way home to their condo. “Captain wants to celebrate our victory for the whole team. He said we can bring whoever we want so I decided to bring you there.”“So, Shan will be there also?”“I guess so!”“Then can I invite Marylex as well?” she asked.“If that’s what you want.”“So, where exactly the location is?”“At the Capricorn Bar.”She frowned. “Bar? Why there?”“One of the members made the request, he said his favorite mysterious band on E-tube will be performing tonight at Capricorn Bar.”“E-tube? Mysterious Band? Is that the one with the mysterious girl vocalist?”“Yup! How did you know?”She gasped. “Oh my! Don’t tell me it’s the Quirin Band?”“Ahm, sounds like that?” he said uncertainly.“Oh, hurry up! I am also eager to see them. I’ve been wanting to see them in person for a long time.”“So you’re a fan?”“I really love the voice of the vocalist but she never showed her face to a

“RANDALL, my grandson! You’ve finally come to see me! Congratulations on your championship victory. I’m so proud of you,” Don Warrick greeted after hugging Randall tightly.He also endured almost a month of not being able to see and talk to his grandfather. The last time they talked, he said goodbye and that he would be busy with their upcoming championship. Apart from that, he had another reason, which was to avoid blaming him. But, as the guilt in his heart grows stronger with each sight of Meredith in pain, he will do what he should have done a long time ago.“Thanks, Grandpa.”He handed him a fruit basket.“Grandpa. . .”“Hmm?”“Haven’t you known for a long time that I’ve been looking for someone?”“Grandson, I told you that whatever you were dreaming about before doesn’t mean anything.”“But I found her,” he confessed.Don Warrick was taken aback. “W-what did you say?”He handed Barbara's sketch to him and his eyes widened in shock.“She’s Aunt Barbara, isn’t she?”“W-where did y

MARYLEX was currently running inside the BSU campus, carrying the things she needed for her reporting when she suddenly collided with someone, causing her to drop everything she was carrying on the ground.“Sorry! I didn’t mean to run into you,” she apologized as she gathered her belongings one by one.When she stood up, the man with thick eyeglasses appeared, handing her some of the things that he had picked up.“T-thank you!” she said.The man smiled. “It’s okay. I’m at fault too.”Suddenly something ran towards her heart when she saw the man’s smile. She seemed to have seen those smiles before.She came back to her senses when she realized she still needed to prepare for her reporting. She had to be ready before their Professor arrived because it was their first subject.“Thanks for the help!” she said to the guy as she ran again.“You did an excellent report, Lex.

Give me an acceptable reason why you can’t marry me!” Randall yelled, couldn’t accept the fact that he was rejected.Meredith took a deep breath, trying to hold back her tears and face him. “Because you don’t really love me.” Meredith’s emotions were mixed as fear dominated her heart. It seems that her dream about the red thread that Randall cut in her dream came back to her vision.“Mer, that’s not true! I do love you! Can’t you feel it?!” Randall said as his tears escaped his eyes.She sobbed and shook her head. “Y-you’re only saying that because of Barbara and Clayton’s red thread that is connects us.”Her mother and Rebecca covered their mouths at what she said.

“MEREDITH?” Ranier was taken aback as Meredith and Editha entered their house. He couldn’t believe that he would see them so soon. He thought that it would be difficult for him to talk to them again. “Where is he?” Meredith asked, worriedly. “He’s inside his room.” Meredith was on her way to Randall's room when she became stunned and closed her eyes. Barbara’s soul appeared in her body once more. She opened her eyes after a few seconds and turned to face Ranier. “Brother! F-forgive me. It’s all my fault. If it wasn’t for me, the people around me wouldn’t have been hurt. I deeply regret being weak and selfish back then. Ranier hugged her back. “Shhh... It’s okay, Barb. I know how you feel. But, please, help and guide my son, your nephew, to be strong. Don’t let him take his own life. I was so damn hurt by losing you then that I can’t bear it if I lose my son as well.” She released herself from his embrace and nodded. “Don’t worry, brother. I will fix everything I was left behind.

“SISTER MARIA!” Editha said as she hugged tightly the nun she considered her real mother. Sister Maria hugged her back. “Oh! Thank God! You’ve finally come! I have waited so long for your visit.” Editha let go of the hug. “I’m sorry, there’s so much happened in the past years. The nun smiled as she looked next at Meredith. “Is she your daughter?” Editha nodded and introduced her only child. “Hi, Sister Maria. Glad to see you,” Meredith said as she took Sister Maria’s right hand and gently struck it to her forehead as a show of respect of every young Filipino for the elderly.” “It was nice to finally meet you, Meredith. You grew up beautifully. You look exactly like your mother,” she complimented. She looked at her mother for a moment then thanked her. “Let’s go inside. I’m sure the other nuns would be pleased to meet you as well.” They were then escorted inside the orphanage. “Was it you, Mom?” Meredith inquired as Sister Maria gave her a photo of her mother when she was young

Don’t tell me you’ve moved out of your condo?” Meredith asked Randall when he took her to an unfamiliar condo.But Meredith’s guess was wrong. That unit is the place where Barbara and Clayton’s dark past happened.“Don’t you remember this place?” he asked back.She looked throughout the entire condo. “Y-yeah. This place is quite familiar to me, but how did you know that this was the place?” He held both of her hands. “I told you before that I know the whole truth, didn't I?”She nodded. “However, I also told you that it doesn’t matter what happened in the past if we know it will only affect our marriage.”Randall closed his eyes. “But my conscience won’t let me sleep anymore! Especially you! As long as you dodge the truth, your dreams will keep hunting you. I also want this to end so we can start anew.” “I-I don’t understand what were you saying.

I told him not to tell anyone about what was happening to me that day.” She frowned. “What do you mean?” “First and foremost, I don’t want you to think that I met you today because he requested me to. I’m here in front of you because I don’t want you to mistrust him solely because of me, therefore I’d want to share my side because it saddens me as well every time I see him sad.” She nodded, indicating that she was ready to listen. “I called him that day because my boyfriend and I had fought,” she explained. “Phoon
