The journey to Jose Mari's house was quite far for Claire, his ex girlfriend but the more she journey, the lesser she recognizes the way to his house. "Urghh!" She sighed frustratedly. Her journey was getting too boring and frustrating. She was compelled to give up at this point but, the thought that only Jose Mari could make her feel loved and blessed made her continute.

Meanwhile, in Jose Mari's house, he and JR tussled to get the latter to urinate. "See, you are not a baby anymore. What do you mean by me taking off your pants?!" Jose Mari yelled as he fumed in anger.
A minute after he and JR had gotten into the restroom, JR stood there like a statue. It didn't even feel like the boy really wanted to pee, to Jose Mari. "What are you standing still for?! Do you love the smell of the toilet?!" Jose Mari yelled irritatedly. If JR was his kid brother, he would beat him black blue.
Jose Mari tightened his fist as he knuckles became as white as the curtains. At the thought of having a brother came to his mind, he became angered all of a sudden.
"I..the…C..can you help m…." JR's irregular sentence was suddenly stopped by Jose Mari's yelling.
"For Christ sake, all I have been doing since I met you is helping you!" Jose Mari had transferred an unwanted agression to the poor kid. He immediately felt Sorry. He sighed and closed his eyes to calm down. "I'm sorry."
JR had already became nervous that he almost urinated on himself. 'Why is he so scary now?' he thought as he looked to meet Jose Mari's closed eyes. Yes! He knew he has been stressing out Jose Mari lately but, he wasn't doing it purposely, was he? "I can't take off my pants, help me." JR spoke calmly and almost inaudibly. He was ashamed of himself as well but, this is the call of nature right? It wasn't his will.
Jose Mari opened his eyes and looked down at the cute amusing boy. 'Is he serious right now?' "Are You for real?"
"I know I am not a baby anymore but, I can't do this. I promise I am not lying or joking with you." JR pleaded, tears brimming from his eyes. Jose Mari was touched but, he dared not.
"You are a strange one." Jose Mari said calmly and looked away from JR's teary eyes. "Do your thing on your own kid. You are not a baby. If you say you can't then…." Before Jose Mari could suggest something to JR, he had already done the unthinkable. He urinated on himself. Jose Mari was dumbfounded.
"Mff." JR sniffed. With shame over his head and tears in his eyes, he sat on the wet floor. He folded his knees to meet his chest, placed his hands knees, crossing one on the other. He bent hid head and began sobbing. These actions pierced a needle into Jose Mari's heart.
To Jose Mari, he failed to do God's will. 'Is the kid going through something unthinkable? Maybe an affliction?' Jose Mari asked himself. "I'm sorry, God." Jose Mari muttered.
JR's loud sobs filled the restroom. He had disgraced himself in presence of the man be was supposed to make fall in love with him and Jade inside of JR was ashamed that she had messed up in the front of her crush. Trust me, that's the worst feelings ever.
"Come." Jose Mari said, wrapping his hands around JR's waist. He pulled him up from his own pee which he sat on. It was disgusting, irritating, gross but, Jose Mari was going to accept it as his punishment for not helping JR earlier. "I'll bathe you."

Finally, Claire had found help and blessed the lord for it. She recognized one of Jose Mari's car driving towards her. She quickly ran to the middled of the road and started waving both her hands that were now upwards.
The car came to a halt right in front of her. It was Jose Mari's car indeed but, Jose Mari wasn't inside. Alyssa and Aldrich alighted from both sides of the car looking all holy. Aldrich was on a long black garment, like that of a priest. He also had a crucifix necklace on him while Alyssa had a black dress on too. It wasn't a garment. It was a normal long sleeved ankle length black dress with a white scarf on her head and the crucifix necklace.
Claire waved at them with a smile but, none of them responded.
"What do you think you're doing standing in our way like that?" Aldrich who walked up to Claire asked angrily. "Do you want to stain our white slates with Scarlett?!" He yelled making Claire flinch.
Claire knew fully well that Aldrich didn't like her right from the get go. Jose Mari was the only one who saved her from Aldrich's wrath whenever she did something wrong to him. Sadly, she had stupidly called of the relationship between herself and Jose Mari for no good reason.
"What do you want, daughter of Alonzo?" Alyssa asked, walking elegantly as ever to Aldrich and Claire. Alyssa didn't like Claire from the start too but, for Jose Mari's sake she tried to get close with Claire.
"Alyssa, Al… brother Aldrich I am sorry for everything. I just wanted to join you guys. I want to see JM. I have been walking around for long but, I can't seem to…"
"Are not you ashamed of yourself, Woman?" Aldrich asked, pointing his finger at her tears soaked face. "You dare want to go back to your own vomit?! You dare want to have back a cake you have already eaten?!" Aldrich continued to yell at her, reprimanding and question her aims while, she kept crying like a helpless baby.
"I just want to say sorry." Claire said weakly.
"Not just sorry, you would say goodbye." Alyssa said and dragged Claire to the car.
"What do you think you are doing, Alyssa? Don't you know what she did to JM? How JM suf…." Aldrich tried to talk sense into Alyssa but, it fell in deaf ears as she had already gotten into the car with the crybaby, Claire.
"Get into the car or I leave without you."
