What's really going on now Dreb?"
Dreb sighs, "We can talk about it after we arrive in Manila, okay?"
Lenna slowly closed her eyes and got some nap. Dreb looked at her, he couldn't even take a sight to watch Lenna's face. Dreb admits that he didn't tell Lenna he had a daughter to Andrea. Dreb slowly closed his eyes, Leo is now sleeping.
An hour has passed, the two of them are still asleep as Leo feels to go to the bathroom. The kid looked at his mom and dad before he slowly walked to find a bathroom. The kid was looking around, not knowing where he would go. The kid Leo, looked around as a woman approached him.
"Baby boy, you lost?" the little boy just nodded his head. He was staring at the lady and slowly opened his mouth.
"Pee" the little boy said in a cute way, the lady was smiling as she told the little boy where the bathroom was.
"This is the bathroom, you should go back to your mommy after you finish. Okay?" the kid nodded his head and went inside the toilet. The lady stood up and left.
Dreb was awake as soon as he opened his eyes, he noticed his son was gone. He looked at his wife, still sleeping. He immediately stood and looked around the plane.
"Leo? Baby, where are you?" Lenna heard someone calling her son's name. She immediately opened her eyes and saw Dreb and Leo was gone. As she stood up, knees were shaking and hands were trembling.
"Leo?" she calls out her son's name as her hands continue to tremble. Lenna can't imagine if something happened to her son.
"Mommy" a kid was crying as he couldn't open the bathroom's door. He was helpless, he didn't know what to do. The kid just continued to cry, until someone knocked on the door.
"Leo? Baby? You there?" Dreb asked while forcing the door to open.
"Where's Leo?"
"I think he's here in the bathroom"
"Mommy!" a loud cry, Dreb and Lenna heard from the Bathroom.
"Mommy is here baby, don't worry . Mommy is here" Lenna walked towards the bathroom and leaned her body to the door.
"Baby, open the door" Dreb said in a worried tone. Leo didn't know how to open doors, he was unable to open doors and had trauma when he was locked up.
Leo continued to cry, a flight attendant used keys to open the door. As Lenna saw her son, she hugged him and carried the kid and went back to their seats. Leo's still crying, until the kid fell asleep while crying.
"I'm sorry" He said in a sincere tone which made Lenna look at him.
"What for?" she asked in confusion.
"For locking Leo on his room, I didn't even imagine it would turn out to be like this"
"Don't worry, Leo is a brave kid." Lenna relied and smiled at him. Dreb felt relief at what Lenna had said.
--------MANILA------
(8 PM)
"Mr. Mendoza, Welcome back" greeted by his driver.
" Let's go home"
Aly, Davis and Wyne are waiting for them, they had prepared dinner and some surprises for little Leo. Aly heard a car was approaching, they got all ready for the surprise.
"Welcome Back!" they pop, the party poppers as they enter the house. Little Leo was amazed and caught some pieces from the party poppers.
"Little Leo, how are you? Did you like it?" Davis asked the little boy, Leo nodded his head while smiling. Aly and Davis carry Leo and play with the little boy.
Wyne sense something different on Lenna and Dreb. "Is there something wrong?" Wyne asked in a worried tone.
The two of them look at each other. Dreb sighs as Lenna walked out.
"What happened?" Wyne asked Dreb as Lenna leaves. A trace of sadness was on Dreb's face. He slowly sat down and speaks up.
"I just caught Lenna having sex with other man" Wyne was astonished as what he heard.
"Really? Why did she did that?"
"I don't know either, I don't know what is happening in my life now Wyne. First, I lost Andrea. Second, I fell in love with Lenna but she cheated on me. Third, my own son didn't want to have quality time with me" he said in frustration.
Wyne tapped his shoulders for comfort.
"Then, what about your daughter?"
"I don't know either, I don't have any plans." a disappointed replied by Dreb.
"We are still here, I can talk to Andrea. Just stop the case, stop the case you filed"
"What if she don't want me to see my daughter?"
"I got you on that" Wyne said while smiling widely.
Dreb feel relieved, at least someone can help him to see his daughter.
"Thank you bro"
"What are friend's are for?"
"How is she doing?" Andrea asked the nanny who's taking care of her daughter.
"She's doing fine, she's a smart kid just like you" compliment by the nanny. Elissa, the nanny of Carmela, she's taking Carmela when she's really a baby. Andrea was busy at the time, she didn't have time for her own daughter.
She was doing her work, overtime for her to feed her daughter. Her company was on a big issues on that time while she was pregnant. Ellisa saw all Andrea's sufferings, while giving birth to her daughter.
"You had done great, you are a great and good mother to Carmela. Don't overthink, okay?" she just nodded and went upstairs.
Exhausted, mentally and physically. She lay on her bed, looking at the ceiling. Sighing, and thinking about her daughter.
"What should I do?" a voice was talking to her in her head. She was thinking of what she can do for her daughter when her phone ring.
Ring.......
"Hello?"
"Let's talk"
[Restaurant]
"What are we gonna talk about?" Andrea asked Wyne as she sir down. Wyne smilingly looked at her before he talks.
"I just want to talk about Dreb and his daughter."
"I'm just wasting my time here, I can't do that" she was about to stood when Wyne hold her wrist.
"Can you do this just for once? He really needs to see your daughter. As a friend of him, I'm begging you" Andrea just looked away and leave.
She was inside her car as she realized, Dreb has a right to see his daughter. He needs Dreb, he need Dreb's for Carmela not for herself. Even if she imagined being together with him. She's stopping herself to fall in love again with the man who hurt her.
"You can't love him again Andrea," she shouted as she was talking to herself.
"I just talked to her" A disappointed news of Wyne to Dreb.
"What does she said?"
"She can't let you get close to your daughter. I think she's still hurt from what you did to her"
"I know I've been stupid, I hurt her a lot. But I still love her" Wyne was surprised of the sudden confession of his friend.
"But you have a wife bro,"
"She had decided, she wants divorce" that made Wyne more surprise.
"What?! She really said that?"
"Yes, and I think she's serious. I can't push myself to her again. She cheated on me and she said he loved that man" Dreb sobbing while talking on the phone.
"Bro, come on cheer up! We are here for you and-" he ended the call which Wyne made feel nervous.
"Aly? Dreb just hung up the call and I think he might do same thing he does in the high-school"
"What?!" Aly shouted in the line, they called Davis and went together to Dreb's house.
[Knocking]
"Coming" the nanny opened the door for them.
"What's the matter Mr.?"
"Is Dreb here?"
"Actually he just left. He was on a hurry a-" the three of them hurriedly run towards the car and drive as fast as they could.
They try to call him but they couldn't reached him. He turn off his phone, Wyne take a U turn which made the two to think where they would go.
" What are you doing? We have to find Dreb" Aly said worriedly.
"I know where he is" Wyne said and focused on the road.
[Doorbell]
"Who's that? Can I help you with something? Ouh it's you" the nanny said happily.
"Can I talk to Andrea Reyes."
"Okay, just wait for a moment" Dreb wait outside Andrea's house.
Aly, Davis and Wyne saw him. They want to go towards him but Wyne stopped them. They just watched Dreb from a far.
Andrea take a look at the window, as she saw Dreb she tells the nanny to let him go home.
"Mr.Mendoza?I'm sorry but she doesn't want to speak with you"
Dreb feels disappointed, he feels hopeless and he turned his back. He was about to go to his car as the heavy rain came.
"Wyne, we have to get him out there" Davis said.
"Let him do that, the pain will be gone after."
The rain continue to pours, Andrea was looking at her window from her room as she can spot Dreb was soaking wet. She looked away and just ignored the man outside.
She slowly lay down on her bed but she still thinking of the man outside.
" Andrea!! I will wait here until you same out" Dreb shouted, he was soaking wet. The heavy rain continues to pour.
"Wyne, we had to do something" Aly can't stop himself and walked towards Dreb. Wyne had an umbrella in his car, Aly run towards Dreb with his umbrella.
"Bro, come on let's go home" Aly shouted so Dreb can hear him.
"I don't want to go, I want Andrea" he was kneeling on the ground while sobbing.
"Bro, come on" Aly forced Dreb, Dreb doesn't want to go. Aly was about to stand and used forced to get Dreb. But suddenly a woman came out. It was Andrea, finally she showed up.
"Andrea?" Dreb slowly get up and wiped his tears. He chuckles as he hugged Andrea.
"Andrea,I'll leave you then" Aly went back to the car. They all leave.
"I'm sorry" he said and released from the hug. He was looking at Andrea as tears came out.
"Let's go inside first" Andrea walked first as he followed.
"Drink this" Andrea handed a glass of water to Dreb.
"Thank you"
"And used this to change your clothes, this used to be your old clothes" she handed the t-shirt to him.
"I'm sorry"
