Race's POV
"Clemente, Race M."
A round of applause and cheering people heard all around the place. The thought of me graduating college was enough to make my eyes watered. I glanced at the crowd and saw Zena with the rest of the gang including their parents. Jace and Lucas was also here as well. They were clapping and screaming so loud.
"Congratulations, Race. I know there's a better future ahead of you." The dean said as he handed me my diploma.
I smiled. "Thank you, sir." Then I faced the crowd and raised my hand with my diploma in it.

Race's POVHindi na ko nagsayang pa ng oras. Right after graduated college, I went to Dimitria's company and gave the attache case Alexsha wanted me to use as a ticket to enter the said company. Pinalabas namin na isa akong shareholders upang makapasok sa kompanya sa mataas na posisiyon. At first, it was kinda hard to adjust but when I learned the environment inside the company, hindi na ko nahirapan pa. Maaayos din naman katrabaho ang mga tao sa loob.

My heart was racing so fast and eventually turned calm when I saw my daughter with a guy wearing a long coat and cap. Nakatalikod sila sa akin kaya hindi ko makita kung sino ang kasama ng anak ko.
