"The patient is okay, she just lost her consciousness due to the stress. I suggest you to take care of her and avoid her being stress."

Those were the words I heard when I regained my condolences. Hindi ako nagmulat ng mata at hinayaan lang ang sariling makiramdam sa paligid.

The last thing I remembered before losing my consciousness is when my dad is shoving kuya and mom's away. Naramdaman ko na lang ang paglaglag ng mga luha ko mula sa aking mga mata ng maalala ang tagpong 'yun.

My parents are not okay.

My kuya and I don't have the same father...

He's an eligitimate son of my mom and now my kuya is suffering from the pain that our own mother's caused.

I bit my bottom lip to stop myself from sobbing. Mariin ang pagkakahawak ng aking nga kamay na nakapatong sa kumot sa aking tyan, stopping myself to cry louder.

I wanted to scream. I wanted to scream until I'll lost my voice and realized that these all just a dream. That I'm just having a nightmare... but I know it isn't. I just don't want to accept the fact that the family I thought is perfect isn't. It's too far from the word 'perfect'.

My parents, especially my mom is just wearing a mask to be a perfect mother. A perfect family in the eyes of the people here in Isla de Provincia but behind of those perfections and luxurious things we had, beneath the deadly secrets that's now revealed to us, their children at alam kong hindi magtatagal ay kakalat na sa buong Isla kung gaano ka imperpekto ang aming pamilya.

I felt someone hold my hand. Someone who's too familiar with me, someone who's with me since I was born. My second mother, my yaya Esmi. And when I felt her touch, I became more emotional. Lumabas ang pinipigilan kong hikbi.

Dahan-dahan kong minulat ang aking mga mata at sinalubong ang tingin ni yaya Esmi. Nakaupo siya sa bakanteng pwesto sa aking higaan habang hawak-hawak ang kamay kong mariin ang pagkakakuyom sa kumot na nakapatong sa akin.

Sob escape from my lips when she painfully smiled at me. May namumuong luha sa kanyang mga mata habang diretsong nakatingin sa akin. Her eyes are full of sorrows and pain.

"Si k-kuya?" Ang unang lumabas sa aking bibig. And just like that, my yaya Esmi started crying silently. May pagtataka ko siyang tinignan habang tahimik na lumuluha. At nang magtama ang aming mga mata ay agaran siyang yumuko at tahimik na humihikbi.

I looked away, confused. Nilibot ko ang aking paningin sa buong kwarto at nakita si ate Rika na tahimik sa gilid, mugto rin ang mga mata. My father is wearing a pain expression with a bit of disappointment and I don't know why. Magulo ang ayos nito, malayong-malayo sa kagalang-galang na mayor ng Isla.

My heart thumped as my eyes widened a bit when my eyes met Ridge' grey eyes. He's looking at me with so much intensity while his jaw is clenching repeatedly. Bumaba ang tingin ko sa kamao niyang nasa kanyang kandungan. Mariin ang pagkakakuyom nito the reason why the viens on his arms are visible.

Tumikhim ang doctor kaya agad akong nag-iwas ng tingin. I look at the doctor and he smiled at me bago tinaggal ang salamin sa kanyang mata. He's handsome with those glasses but when he took it off ay mas lalong lumabas ang kagandahang lalaki nito. He looks like in his 30's.

"What do you mean about her avoiding being stress, doc?" Napalingon ako kay Ridge ng marinig ang malamig na boses nito.

Seryoso ang mukha at nakaigting ang panga na direktang nakatingin sa doctor na may maliit na ngisi. Marahil ay napansin ni Ridge ang tinging pinipukol ko sa kanya kaya agad niya itong sinalubong. He look at me darkly and my eyes widened when he rolled his eyes on me before looking away.
