Due to my family's connection, our divorce was quickly granted. I couldn't explain exactly how I felt when the court announced that we are no longer husband and wife. I tried to glance in Luke's direction but he was still sitting in his seat, staring blankly at the folder in front of him.

"Ms Soriano,"

I heard my lawyer called me and I admit it felt so strange. When I glanced again at my now ex-husband, for real, I found that he was longer staring at the folder but at me. And I gulped when our eyes met. There were lots of emotions written in his eyes, but if there's one that I have been to read, it's despair.

But I have no words to say to him, so when my lawyer patted me on the shoulder, gesturing me to leave the room, I took a deep breath and left his team.

"Congratulations, Ms Soriano."

My lawyer said before opening the door of his car. We reached the parking lot and we were about to part.

"Thank you, Mr Reynaldo." I smiled at nodded at him before opening my car. Actually, it wasn't for congratulating me on regaining my freedom, but I was thanking him for all the help and effort he has given in his matter.

"Sam? What are you doing here, sweetie?"

I took a deep breath when I heard my mother's voice. I slowly turned to her and smiled. I was sitting on the edge of the pool, staring at the stars as what happened in court this morning kept coming back to me, especially the sadness in Luke's eyes.

"Mom," I uttered giving her a sad smile.

She sat down next to me and handed me three cans of beer--- much to my surprise.

"Ohh... what is this?" I asked, surprised.

"Beer," she shrugged.

"Mom, I know, but---

"Tss! Just open it and drink and stop asking questions, Sam."

I couldn't help but chuckle as she started opening the first of her three cans.

"Hmm... don't you know the saying about beers, baby?"

I stopped opening the can in my hand and looked at her.

"What saying?" I asked her confused.

"That there is no problem in this world that cannot be solved by a beer." She shrugged and I chuckled looking back at the beer in my hands.

How I wish after drinking those beers all my problems even the heaviness in my chest disappears.

"I'm just kidding, I just want to see you smile."
