Episode 7's

Quezon, January 2018.

Edgar and his friend succeeded. Even in a matter of four months, Edgar's Subscriber increased rapidly. Soon he will get 1 million subscribers. Edgar's efforts and friends really produce very good results. They have also earned their salaries after returning their initial capital.

This new year, Edgar and his team are on vacation. They're on vacation in Cebu. Edgar took his two younger siblings and his little daughter. They spend time together, have fun and of course also while working.

"Papa, I want that." Liezel pulled his Papa's hand to buy him ice cream.

"Master wants that?" Edgar asked, bringing a small sikgil into his sling. The little girl nodded in excitement.

Edgar bought him whatever Liezel wanted. She pampered Liezel a lot, but was also sometimes harsh on her. The goal is that he will grow up to be a strong and not spoiled child.

We are heading to Cebu Ocean Park. James and Jason were picking up park passes for them.

"Ice cream vanilla is one." Edgar's ink on that ice cream vendor. And it made Liezel smile happily in his Papa sling.

A few seconds later, Ice Cream was given to Liezel and Edgar paid for it immediately. Then, they stepped back to follow a friend who was far ahead.

"Get!" Call someone from behind.

Edgar looked over and was surprised by what he saw. It makes the little one glanced at the gaze of his papa.

"Ale! You.. Alejandro, Right?" Poking out a hand at Ale who was instantly greeted with two hands by Ale.

"Man, How are you?" Ale is so happy to be back with his little friend.

They are friendly from SD to SMP. Separated as Ale moved to Manila with his parents. After a long time, they finally meet again.

"Who is this little girl?" Pinched the soft cheek Liezel.

"My daughter. Her name is Liezel." Dodging the cream that sticks to his tiny lips.

"Your daughter?" I can't believe his little friend already has a child.

Edgar nodded, then kissed Liezel's cheek. "He's the most beautiful gift of my life." Proudly said.

Ale smiled. He knew, Edgar's eyes said a lot of sadness. He knew his best friend well, indeed long ago, always hid a lot of things, especially if it was something sad.

"Hello Liezel's. I'm Ale, call me uncle Ale." Get Liezel acquainted.

Knowing that made Ale smile with anxiety. Then stretched out his hand ever closer to that adorable little guy. And slowly the little girl welcomed his hand.

"I'm Liezel. Uncle Ale papa's friend?" He asked, while his mouth was full of ice cream.

"Yes. Uncle papa's friend from a long time ago." Ale replied smiling with anxiety.

Then, Liezel asked Ale to carry him. Edgar was surprised by his daughter who immediately wanted to be carried by Ale. Meanwhile, Ale smiled with anxiety and was very happy because Liezel asked to be carried.

They finally walk the road, enjoy the beautiful view of Cebu city before entering the Ocean Park area. There were many things Ale wanted to ask her best friend, but fear made her uncomfortable. So Ale only asked things that he considered not to be privatized.

"What do you work for now?" Ask Edgar.

"none. I just enjoy my day off and spend my parents' money. Because that's what they want from me." Answer Ale honestly.

Edgar smiled, then swept the remaining ice cream on Liezel's lips. "Wanna work with me?" Ask Edgar.

"Working as a comedy actor? I can, I like it." Answer's relaxed. He likes to jail people around him. In fact he was very happy to apply prank and jail on Edgar. But, now it is impossible, because they just met and Edgar was with his daughter.

"Being my manager. I need someone who can always be there to help me." He said seriously.

A moment Ale fell silent. He doesn't know what to say. I want to refuse, but I also want to accept the offer. Not because of money. He had a lot of money from his wealthy parents. That's his goal, because he wants to be with his best friend. He wants to change the look of his best friend, and help him move on from the past.

"Uncle doesn't want to be papa's friend?" Liezel's chirp when Ale didn't answer his papa's offer.

"Uncle will accept Papa Liezel's offer, if you agree little girl." Pinched the soft top of Liezel's nose.

"certainly could. Papa will always smile when he is with his friends. I love to see you smile and laugh." Said the little girl innocently.

"All right then. Uncle will be a friend as well as papa manager who will always accompany papa wherever and wherever. Ok." He talked to Liezel.

"OKs. I liked. Papa likes it too, right?" Staring at Papa.

"Of course baby. Papa really likes it." Pinched his daughter's cheek.

Edgar smiled. In Liezel's eyes, her papa was very happy when she smiled. But, in Ale's eyes, Edgar was deeply hurt and that smile was clearly just a fake smile.
