Isang buong buwan na ang nakalipas mula nang ibalita ni Aidan sa lahat na patay na si Leona. Naghahanda na sina Aidan, Feliz, Doña Cielo, at iba pang kasambahay habang papunta sila sa libing. Doña Cielo looks at everyone to make sure that they are attending.

Doña Cielo: Is everyone here Aidan?

Aidan: Oo Lola......

Doña Cielo: Sige. Let's go.


------------------


- Funeral -

As the housekeepers and the rest of the vistors arrived early, Doña Cielo and everyone else are about to enter inside as Doña Cielo saw Olga standing in front of them from inside. Tumingin si Doña Cielo kay Olga habang sinasabi niya kay Feliz na paalisin siya doon. Ayaw paalisin ni Feliz si Olga, pero wala siyang choice na gawin iyon. Pinuntahan ni Feliz si Olga, sinabihan siyang umalis.

Feliz: Atty. Olga, pwede ka bang bumalik dito pagkatapos ng libing.

Olga: Pero Feliz-

Feliz: Sinabihan lang ako na gawin ito okay. Wala akong choice, pero please.......

Tumingin si Olga kay Feliz at sa lahat habang tahimik siyang umalis. Pagkatapos ay bumalik siya sa kanyang sasakyan habang binubuksan niya ang kanyang payong, kailangang panoorin ang libing ni Leona. Leona arrived in her own funeral a minute later as she is wearing black, with a black hat to prevent other people from seeing her. Napansin ni Olga na paparating si Leona dahil naguguluhan siya kung bakit siya nandito.

Olga: Leona, bakit ka nandito? You're suppose to be at home?

Olga looks around to make sure that nobody sees Leona.

Olga: Other people might see you.
*in a concerning tone*

Leona: Olga, pumunta ako dito dahil gusto kong makita ang iba pang pamilya bago ko sila iwan ng tuluyan.
*in a whisper*

Olga: Ano, pero Leona-

Olga was cut off as Leona tells her to just watch before the "funeral' is done.






- Inside the cemetery -

As the priest finsihed giving out prayers for Doña Cielo, Feliz, Aidan, Chiara and everyone else in this funeral, Aidan gave Leona's ashes to Ador, then to Feliz, to Doña Cielo and last but not least, Chiara was given her mother's ashes before she laid it to rest.

Napatingin si Aidan sa lahat habang umiiyak. Si Chiara ay umiiyak at humihikbi habang nakatingin sa abo ng kanyang ina habang may sinasabi.

Chiara: I'll miss you mama. There are times where you showed hatred towards me, but no matter what........I still love you. Gusto kong ipakita sa iyo ang aking reward sa pagkapanalo ng 1st place sa isang math competition, pero..........sigh....

Chiara puts "Leona's ashes" down to rest as tears were formed in her eyes. She tightly hugs Doña Cielo as Feliz hugs her husband. Ang mga luha at kalungkutan ay nagmumula kay Feliz, Ador, Aidan at lahat ng iba pa habang lahat sila ay nakayakap at inaalo si Chiara.

Aidan looks at Feliz as she continues to hug Ador. Aidan tells her that he would talk to Olga. Feliz nodded at him as Aidan left.






- Outside -

Mabilis na iniwan ni Aidan ang lahat sa loob nang makita niya si Olga kasama si Leona. Naguluhan si Aidan kung bakit nandoon ang kanyang ina, gayong hindi naman ito ayon sa plano nila.

Aidan: Ma, bakit ka nandito?
*in a confused tone*

Leona: Aidan, gusto kong makita ang iba bago namin sila iwan ni Olga ng tuluyan.

Aidan felt a piece of sadness and sorrow as he believes that his mother and Olga is going to isolate from them.

Aidan: Ma, are you guys really going to isolate yourself from Chiara, Ate Feliz, and Kuya-

Leona grab Aidan's hand as she holds it.

Leona: Oo Aidan. It's best if we do. Gusto namin ni Olga na magkaroon ng kapayapaan sa aming buhay nang hindi na kailangang harapin ang lahat ng sakit na ibinigay sa akin ni Carlos, lalo na si mama.

Olga: Besides, Doña Cielo doesn't have to worry about me anymore because of Carlos.

Napabuntong-hininga si Aidan nang mapansin niyang nagsimulang umalis si Doña Cielo at ang lahat. Pagkatapos ay sinabi niya kay Olga at sa kanyang ina na mabilis na umalis bago sila mahuli. Everyone else soon left the funeral after Chiara and Feliz get inside the car to return back to the mansion. Aidan tells Doña Cielo that he would go with them later and had to meet up with someone else. Doña Cielo accepts his excuse as she left Aidan's side.

- Olga's house -

Umuwi sina Olga, Leona at Aidan sa kanyang bahay nang matapos niyang magpalit ng damit. Binuksan ni Leona ang channel ng balita sa TV upang makita kung ano ang nangyayari nang makita niya kaagad sina Carlos at Ador. She then calls Olga and Aidan to instantly go to the living room as Carlos and Ador were saying their statements about the investigation.

News reporter 1: Sir Carlos and sir Ador? Why did you kill ma'am Leona and was it your intention to do it?

Carlos: I-

Carlos struggle to say the words as he looks at the news reporters and cameras as they are being stared at him and Ador.

Carlos: I-I wasn't the one who killed my beloved wife, Leona. Mahal ko ang aking asawa nang buong puso at hinding-hindi ko gagawin iyon sa kanya. Ako ang sinisi sa isang bagay na hindi ko ginawa at ito ay isang taong talagang pumatay sa kanya sa harap ko, tama ba Ador?

Carlos looks at Ador as he says it in front of the news pressroom.

Ador: Oo. I tried to stop that person who killed ate Leona, but I couldn't. Sigh.......................Talagang nasaktan si Kuya Carlos nang malaman niyang patay na ang kanyang asawa.

Ador and Carlos tried to convince the news reporters that "it wasn't really them who killed Leona". Ang mga reporter ng balita ay labis na interesado sa kanila at nakaramdam ng sama ng loob para sa kanila habang ang isa pang tagapagbalita ay nagtanong kay Carlos.

News reporter 2: Sir Carlos, kung hindi ikaw o si sir Ador ang suspek sa kasong ito, sino kaya ito?

Carlos continues to look at the news reporters as he looks at Ador. He smirks a little bit towards Ador as he looks at everyone back to tell them who "really caused the whole thing".

Carlos: The person that killed my dear wife is our attorney who has been with us for all these years. Si atty.Olga Arguelles iyon. Siya talaga ang pumatay sa asawa ko, ang sinisisi ako dito at dapat siya ang maaresto.

Laking gulat ng mga Newsreporters nang mabalitaan na ang isang abogado ay gagawa ng krimen dahil nagawa ni Carlos na papaniwalain ang lahat na hindi siya iyon.

News reporter 2: What makes you think that it was atty. Olga Arguelles, sir Carlos.
*in curiosity*

Carlos: Nakita ko sa sarili kong mga mata. Nakita ko ang ginawa niya para lang pagtakpan ang mga kasinungalingan niya.

As Carlos tells that to the news reporters, he began to pretend as if "he's crying as Ador hugs him before police and their attorney left. The other Newsreporter then tried to follow Carlos and Ador as the police suddenly stops them.















Yikes! What's going to happen to Olga? Will Olga, and Leona be able to escape all of this? What is Olga and Leona's next plan?
