Please, Remember

Chapter 17

A month after Olivia left with Kristina. The gang accompanied them to the airport that time. Bakit hindi sila? 'Yon raw ang huling minuto na makakasama nila si Olivia. Sa ngayon.

The company is doing well and smooth in George hands. Her restaurants and hotels, as well, in her best friends management. Everything's good, no complications nor problems. She really planned everything very well! 'Yon naman ang gustong mangyare ni Olivia, na kahit wala sya para alagaan at palaguin ang negosyong iniwan ng ama, at itinayo nya, ay maging maayos ito.

"Sure na ba dito si Tin? Baka madala lang sya ng emosyon nya." Jazz said as they're heading to Savedra's mansion.

"C'mon, Jazz! All we want for Tin is for her to move forward, to move on, to let go and to forget. Ito na nga eh, step by step ginagawa na nya. Can't we just be happy to that? I mean, you know. She's trying again, she's trying to strive again. Kaya nga tayo ang gagawa kase baka hindi na talaga makaalis 'yong kaibigan natin do'n." Alex replied, as a matter of fact. Jazz chewed her bottom lip.

"Tama si Alex, Jazz. If we really wants Tin to be healed from that wounds, this is the right thing to do." Gesille said, Jazz took a deep sighed.

"Oo nga naman, babe. Si Tin naman ang nagsabi diba? Hindi naman natin sya pinilit o ano eh. Kusa nyang binilin sa'tin 'yon." Keon said, looking to his fiance.

"Tsaka wala na rin naman, Jazz. Kapag di natin 'to ginawa ngayon, baka di na talaga bumalik si Tin. I agree to Alex." Jordan butter in. Jazz heaves a deep sighed again and gulped.

"Hayst. Oh sige na. As if may magagawa pa ako." She finally agreed.

On the other hand, David was following his friends. Simula 'nong nagkita sila Mrs. Ledisma at Olivia, his mother came and talked to him. Hindi para guluhin pa ang isip ng anak kundi para alamin kung wala na ba talaga kay David si Olivia.

"Hanggang ngayon ba ay hindi mo pa rin sya maalala?" Mrs. Ledisma asked her son. David stares at his mother.

"Who?" He asked her back. His Mom sighed.

"Kerstin." She replied. David intently eyed his mother.

Kerstin. Hindi Kerstin ang pangalang naririnig at bumabalik sa isip nya.

"Ma, sino 'yong babaeng kasama ko bago ako naaksidente noon?" He asked her.

"David, si Kerstin ang fiancee mo bago ka maaksidente. Si Kerstin ang babaeng mahal na mahal mo, si Kerstin ang ayaw mong mawala sa tabi mo, pero si Kerstin din ang nag-iisang tao na wala sa alaala mo." There was silence rilled over them. David tries to remember that name, but there's none. Mrs. Ledisma stares her son, intently.

"We've met. She's leaving, again. Sabi nya, Wala na syang laban." Mrs. Ledisma sighed, David gulped.

"Talo na sya sa pinaglalaban at pinanghahawakan nya. She's right. May asawa ka na. It doesn't matter anymore if you cannot remember her. Don't get me wrong, son. I like Diana as your wife, but I love Kerstin as your wife." David looked at his mother then look away.

His mother's words hits him. Sinabi nya rin 'yon kay Kerstin. That he likes Kristen but he loves Diana. At bilang anak na sabihin ng ina na may iba itong gusto para maging asawa nya, may kirot sa puso na hindi maintindihan.

Now, at these moment, he feel what Kerstin felt that night when he told here that he only likes her.

"If only fate did not started a game. She've been through a lot of pain, simula pa noon, and I am so proud of her now that she is moving on. You should too."
