When Mom Violy spotted Crisostomo’s handwritten menu, something in her chest lit up: home-style lumpia, sinigang steaming in clay pots—could this be the comfort food she’d been missing?

Carmina informed Mom Violy that she would visit her home on Saturday, November 8, 2025. She asked if Mom Violy wanted to go out for lunch and mentioned needing to do some grocery shopping due to an upcoming big storm. Mom Violy suggested trying Crisostomo, a Filipino restaurant inside Robinsons Magnolia. Carmina forwarded the menu for her to choose what she wanted to eat, while Carmina already knew her order. I chose pork barbeque served in a set of three pieces with a vinegar dipping sauce. I skipped rice and opted for lumpiang hubad, fresh lumpia without a wrapper, topped with peanut sauce.  Mom Violy initially craved the classic Pinoy paella, but when it wasn’t available, she decided on sinigang na baboy with an extra serving of rice.

Chapter 11: Returning Back to Your Ex-Boyfriend Jack

Jack had called, up Michelle telling her he wanted them to go back with him and he already broken up with his ex-girlfriend.

Michelle had this image in her head that she wanted to play revenge on Jack to pretend to go back with him because in her mind she wanted Jack to feel the kind of medicine he did to her and in order her to do that was to go back with him and give her another invitation to return back to his country.

Michelle felt she had something to prove to herself and she wanted to keep that promise she made to Jack's family that she will come back no matter what it takes.

Jack's mom had called, up Michelle telling her how she had missed her and even if she wasn't in a relationship with her son she still wanted her as a daughter.

Jack's mom made some promise that she would have a job for her and her status would change once the company has seen her job performances and signed a contract with one another.

Michelle kept away her plans from me she only told her son David and her best friend Nancy who both approved her plans.

Michelle knew I wouldn't approve her plans because I was already against their relationship. I was praying that the invitation Jack had sent to her won't get approved.

Michelle than flew back to Europe without informing me I only found out when she had post in her social media she was in Europe on Valentine's Day.

I was so mad at Michelle and felt she was going out of control and decided to drift away from her and felt she was already old enough to decide on her own.

Michelle had arrived the next day Jack had a surprised for her.
