Zoey agreed to accept Manong Rick"s offer except the free of charge. She doesn"t want to take advantage of his goodness that is why she wants to pay him on return or at least give him something that can compensate him kindness.

"I"ll meet you later Manong Rick. Okay?"

Before Nickel departs to his out-of-town meeting, he didn"t forget to settle first Zoey"s transportation from Serenity to ASC or to anywhere she wants to go during the days that he is not around. He cleverly hired a professional driver for Zoey. Due to his unexplainable feeling that something might happen to her Nickel made sure that the professional driver can also protect her from any harm or accident.

After their workday ends, Manong Rick meets Zoey at the lobby area after he hailed one cab for them, he didn"t know that Nickel had prepared everything for her. "Oh! I"m sorry Manong Rick but I have a driver waiting for us outside."

"Is that so? Okay, I will cancel the cab, go in first."

"I"m sorry I forgot to tell you." Zoey apologized for him before she goes to Nickel"s car. Rick also apologized to the driver her hailed a few moments later.

Zoey lead the way up to her unit so that Manong Rick can check what is wrong with her pipes. The two were welcomed by Happy but as soon as Happy saw Manong Rick she barks crazily onto him. Zoey decided to bring her to her room before Manong Rick enters her house.

Rick proceeds to her kitchen and saw that the water on her sink is still there. Zoey saw the condition of her sink and tried to apologize to Manong Rick because it is indeed to disgusting to see the sink water. "The clogging of my pipes happen when I was washing my dishes last night." She said.

Rick opened her counter door and starts his business. It took him two hours to finally fix all her pipes. Zoey considered him an angel in disguise for helping her with her home problem. "What a great relief that you help me today Manong Rick, I cannot stand my dirty sink for a day what more if I wait for two more days for a free plumber? Thank you so much, Manong Rick."

Manong Rick flashed a warmed smile for Zoey as she continues thanking him for what he has done. "Oh before I go home, I still have something to check first." Rick went back to her kitchen and cut one blue wire.

"I"m done. Just make sure not to throw any solids on her sink, I can only solve your own pipes but not the connecting pipes for all the units in this building."


Zoey gave him a brand new messenger bag as a sign of her appreciation for helping her for tonight. "What is this for?" he asked.

"It"s a gift from me. A thank you gift for extending your hand for me today, Manong Rick."

"But this looks expensive and new."

The messenger bag that Zoey gave to him was actually her surprise gift for her dad, as she doesn"t have anything inside her house that can present as a gift, she decided to gift him a new bag so that he can now throw his old and thrown out backpack.

"It isn"t, Manong Rick."

In the end, after their short tug of war of push and push, Manong Rick accepted the messenger bag from Zoey. "The next time that you have a problem here, don"t hesitate to ask me," Rick said before he goes home. Zoey accompanied him out of their building and continues waving her hand until Manong Rick fades before her eyes.

Down the lobby was a black car watching over her. The driver"s eyes were all stick to the girl waving her hand cheerfully.
