Anna stood up and went outside, She was surprised when she saw Kevin was standing in front of their House

"Kevs" she called him

Kevin looked at her apologetically "How are you ?" he was worried

Anna was wondered

"Shania told me you were sick " he explained

Anna felt Kilig for him, she was happy when she saw him standing in front of him

"she told me where you live, so I came in here, just want to check you, if you're doing fine or not" he explained

"I am feeling better right now Kevs," she says "I am fine" she continued

"Good" he replied and smiled at him

"would you like to come in ?" she asked

"Can I ?" he asked

Anna Agreed

"alright " Kevin answered

Anna went inside, and she saw that her family was excited to meet who would be. Kevin followed her

Anna was smiling when she entered inside

"Come!" she said "By the way that is my siblings" She introduced them one by one, and her parents came from the kitchen

"Oh, That is my mama and Papa" she continued introducing them

Kevin walked straight to them and took their Hands and her parents extended their hands to Kevin, Kevin did a mano, He bowed while holding his hand and pressed his head to the back of Anna's father's palm. he did the same thing to Anna's mother

Mano is a Filipino culture performed as a sign of respect to elders and as a way of requesting a blessing from the elder, It is similar to hand-kissing.

"uhh!, Are you asking to court my daughter ?" her father asked him

"No, Pa he is a friend, "Anna says to him

"Yes,.."Kevin said "Anna and I are friends?" he explained to them "I heard she is sick, So I came to stop by "he added

Her father raised his eyebrows "Are you sure?" asked him

Kevin smiled at him "Yes, I know Anna, She doesn't allow me to have a boyfriend right now, and I can wait " he added

Anna was blushed when she heard him.

"What?" her father says

Her siblings giggled When they heard him

"Are you ready papa?" Karen said "Looks like someone asking her out" continued

"I just want to be clear, if you like my daughter that is good but you know I didn't allow them to have a boyfriend when they are still studying, I want them to focus on their studies, for now, I wanted to focus them on their studies." he explained "I will give her hands to you if she's already finished her study "He added "come and sit "he invited him to sit on the couch, and they both sat on the couch

"Yes sir, I know that" he answered and smiled at him

" Alright!, are you both classmates?" he interrogated him

"No, sir, I already graduated from the nursing course" he proudly said

"That is good?" he nodded "What about your licensure exam?" he continued asking him

"I am still reviewing now, and planning to take this June" he confidently said

"OHH !, that is good then, you should prepare yourself and pass the exam," he says

"yes, sir "he replied and gave him a smile

"And what about your parents, are they still alive?" he questioned him again

"Pa..." Anna interrupted him

"Yes, they are in State," he said "Working there, my mom is a nurse also, while my dad owned a clinic, he's a surgeon, "he says

"Oh!, maybe after you take the exam you will be going to the USA"

"Might be, but I wanted to stay in here" he says

"Ohh, come and join us 'he inviting him to a dinner

Kevin joined them, He sat next to Anna, After an hour, Kevin got a call, he went outside and answered the call.

A few minutes later, Kevin came back and called Anna

"Yes?" she asked with sparkling in her eyes

"I am going home, something happened in the club, so I need to go" he excused

"Yeah, sure," she says "Ma, Pa, he needs to go," she said

"Yeah, sure, take care Kevin!" her father replied

"Thanks for the dinner," he said and waved to them " Goodbye and have a goodnight "

Anna went outside with Kevin, she sent him to the outside of the house, Kevin got inside the car and drove off she turned around and walked straight to their house,

"Wow!" someone said from behind "Is he welcomed now in your family ?" he asked and walked toward her

Anna looked back "What are you doing here?" she asked Tom was sitting on the edge in front of his car, his hands crossed on his chest

"Daniel told me you were really sick and gave this antipyretic med" he shows the plastic that full of medicine "But it looks like you're okay now," he says

Anna nodded

Tom tried to put his hands on her forehead but Anna avoided him "I am fine!" she said

Tom noticed that she avoided his hands, and he nodded

"You've got colds, because of me," he said "so I am worried "

"Tsk " Anna clicked her tongue "That's not true"

Tom smiled " What is he doing in here?" He asked about Kevin

"He knew I was sick, so he stopped by" she replied

"You don't hate him?"

"No, why should I "

"He broke your heart"

Anna looked at him

"Can I come in?" he asked her

"No, no no, you are not allowed "she commented

"But why?" he asked " I am a family member "

Anna frowned at him

Tom bent his waistline and leaned forward to her just enough to see her face in the night,

"Still mad at me?" he questioned at her

Anna paused and held her breath, her heart jumped and skipped a beat. She put her two hands on Tom's face and pushed him away from her, Tom stood up straight and smiled at her

"Don't do that... please" she said "You always do that"

"What did I do?" he asked "Oh! You don't like this, "he said while messing her hair and flicking her forehead

"Duh!" she raised her voice

"Why?" he wondered and smirked "alright, I am sorry because I shouted at you this morning!" he said and smiled at her

Anna grinned "Go, go home now...I need to go, shoo!" she says

"What?"He commented, "You don't want me to be introduced to your fam"

"Why should I do that?" she asked himself "As if you are my boyfriend "she murmured

"I am your elder brother and you are my younger sister "he excused and messed her hair again

"No!, "she replied "They knew Kevin since my first year college and how would I tell them about you "

Tom gave her a suspicious look and Anna stuck her tongue out "Bleh"

"I thought you were not allowed to have a boyfriend?" he asked

"yes, and he's willing to wait "she explained

"willing to wait, while dating someone, "he said, "are you out of your mind?"

Anna hissed and clicked her tongue

"Hey, wake up! he's dating " he reminded him

"if you really wanted to have a boyfriend, Daniel is single," he says "and he's willing to wait maybe"

"What?"Anna replied "No, he is a friend "She commented

"Hey, Daniel has a good heart, he is sweet "he described him "Though he is old enough for you, it's alright, age doesn't matter "he explained "Maybe you are 10 years younger than him, but what is your looking for, he is the perfect man for you"

"Haist, "Anna hissed "Please stop... don't poison my brain, hmmm" she commented on him "My goodness"

"Compared to Kevin, he is not the guy for you, Anna!, are you really excited to get involved in that kind of relationship, you're young!"

"And so, if I am young..." Anna sighed " I am not excited to have a boyfriend, I do like him and I am willing to wait"

"What? Are you out of your mind Anna, he is a jerk!" He says

Anna kicked him on the right leg and stuck her tongue out "Bleeeehhhh" she left and went inside

"Haissst" Tom hissed "Anna!!" he massaged his legs "You always do that "he murmured

Tom got inside the car and drove off, to their house, Her mother wanted to see him so he went there.

Daniel was standing in front of the pool, talking to Chairman Yang

" How is she?"Daniel asked him when he saw Tom walking toward them

"She's fine" he answered while walking toward them

"What is it?"Chairman Yang was interested

"Anna is sick lolo," Daniel told him

"She's sick ?"Chairman Yang was confused "what happened, I thought She had fun with her friends last night"

"yes, she did" Tom replied and looked at him and walked away and poured red wine into his glass of wine

"What happened?" he asked, "how did you know that?" He interrogated him

"she's with us, we accidentally met her at the club last night, and we met Kevin who broke her heart, "Daniel says "oops!" he says and tries to walk away from his grandfather

"Kevin broke her heart ?" Chairman Yang turned back "How?" he followed him

"Tom knows all about it, you can ask him "

"He knows?" He looked at him

Daniel nodded "They were closed enough to share their secrets" Daniel explained

"Ohh I didn't know that," Chairman Yang said with a smile on his face "Tell me, they were really closed?" He asked Daniel

Daniel winked at him

"Tom!" his grandfather called him, Tom was busy checking his phone, he was sitting on the bench in front of the pool, " Tom!" He called him for the second time

"What ?" he answered him and looked at him, he took his wine and he sips

Chairman Yang gave him a murderous look and Tom stood up and walked toward him

"What happened to Anna and Kevin?"

"they were fine..." he answered him

"Fine?"I thought he broke her heart ?"Chairman Yang clarified for him

"Yes, but this afternoon he went to their house, and looks like her family likes him," he told him

"and how did you know that?" he questioned him

"I went there ... okay," he said, " Daniel told me she is sick so I brought her medicine, I saw Kevin and Anna coming outside from their home, and she told me, her father accepted him to court her "

"What?"Daniel and Chairman Yang asked him

"Whoah!... relax, it's her life though," he said

"No, does her father know that man is dating someone else?"Daniel said

"He's dating? how could so" Chairman Yang felt he was tricked by Anna "She lied to me," he said angrily

"see Lolo, that is bad" he convinced him

"Yes exactly, what happened to Anna?" Chairman Yag was confused "Tsk tsk tsk" he clicked his tongue

"Does her parents know that guy is a fuck boy?"

"maybe no !" he said, " she likes Kevin, and what is wrong with that?" Tom seems irritated "That guy is willing to wait for her to finish her studies"

"Hmmm, I think we need to stop it...he's not the guy for him"

"Lo!, "Daniel interrupted him, "I think that is not a good idea, let her be...she's teenager and wants to enjoy life with her friends, or maybe she's curious about those things... you know girlfriend and boyfriend thing" Daniel explained

"She is not allowed to have a boyfriend Daniel" Chairman Yang replied

"She is not your granddaughter, " Tom interrupted "Don't you dare to ruin her life "

"Are you threatening me Thomas Yang" he replied with intense

"No, but I don't want you to touch her life, like what you did to me" he replied

"Guy's please, " Daniel interrupted them " Tom please, calm down" he tried to stop him

" I can do whatever I want Tom, remember that," He said

" You can do whatever you want to us, but not on her ... She isn't yours, she has life..." Tom raised his voice "Are you sure that your best friend would be happy about that, I don't think so"

Chairman Yang smirked "She isn't yours either"

"What?" Tom, grinned and sighed

"Whoa! Wait up guys, chill! it's only Anna, I know you guys, angry and worried about her, you are both overprotective of her, so calm down... if don't know you both, I might misjudge you both right now... In love with Anna!"

The two of them looked at him suspiciously

"Easy, Of course, me too, I am worried about Anna, but one thing I do realize, you both looked alike right now," he said

Tom smirked "What?"

Tom shook his head, while Chairman Yang was furious and angry, he was depressed about her,

"But this is not the right time yet..." he murmured
