Chapter 13

Enrique just came back from his business trip. He went to the Kwon's house immediately to see his daughter. "Thank you for taking care of my daughter," sabi ni Enrique. "Don't mention it. Devon was really happy to see Sophie," sabi ni James. "Papa!" sigaw ni Sophie ng makita ang ama. Devon smiled at Enrique. "Hey baby!" sabi ni Enrique at kinarga ang anak. "So...did you behave here?" tanong ni Enrique. "Yes papa," sagot ng bata. Nagkwentuhan muna sina Enrique at Devon bago nagpaalam sina Enrique at Sophie. "I'll miss you mama," sabi ng bata habang niyayakap si Devon. "I'll miss you too. Be a good girl always okay. Always listen to your papa," bilin ni Devon. Tumango lang si Sophie.

After a tearful farewell, pumasok na sina James at Devon sa mansyon. Naging tahimik na naman ang mansyon, dahil wala na ang makulit na si Sophie.

They went back to their daily routine. Monday came so fast.

At one class, Devon suddenly tripped. Wala man lang tumulong sa kanya. Nagmadali nyang kinuha ang mga gamit nya ng may biglang tumulong sa kanya. Nagulat sya na ng tiningnan nya ang mukha ng tumulong sa kanya, ito'y walang iba kundi si Ann. "T-thank you Ann," sabi ni Devon. "you're welcome," sagot ni Ann. Devon heard the others whisper how Ann is so nice, how much ungrateful she is, and that Ann is James' 'real girl'.

Ann raised her eyebrows. She tugged on Devon's elbow. "Devon, can we talk for a sec?" tanong ni Ann. Devon nodded. "I know you might think that I'm only trying to destroy your relationship. But Devon, I really love him. I was born and raised poor. And James, well his family is rich. Our status is completely different. And I know that one day, he'll be in an arranged marriage. But I can't help to fall in love with him. I'm sorry Devon, but I love him so much to give him up," sabi ni Ann at umalis din agad. Na-guilty si Devon sa mga sinabi ni Ann. Pakiramdam nya, sinisira nya ang magandang relasyon nina Ann at James.

Papunta na si Devon sa susunod nyang class ng madaan sya sa likuran ng building. May narinig syang pamilyar na boses. "Sino yun?" isip ni Devon. Pagsilip nya, nakita nya si Ann. She's being pinned on the wall by some guy. Ann's eyes widened when she saw Devon. She and the guy are in the middle of a kiss. The guy immediately fled when he saw Devon. " I... I uh.." sabi ni Ann. Bigla sinampal ni Ann ang sarili. "Devon, don't do this please!" biglang sigaw ni Ann. Naguluhan si Devon. "Please dont hurt me!" sigaw ni Ann. Nagulat si Devon ng makita nya sa likod nya si James, halata ang galit sa mga mata nito.

"I, I didn't do anything," pagpapaliwanag ni Devon. "I don't need your excuses!" sigaw ni James kay Devon. "If you think that by hurting Ann, you will have me, that's where your wrong," sabi ni James. James went to Ann and brought her to the infirmary. While Devon, her heart pierced by James words, was left crying and broken.
