within the hospital.

From unconsciousness, Allisha awakens.

"Hon, what happened?" "Hun, I think you might be tired, that is why you fainted." "Mrs. Montenegro, you ought to go for a little rest." "But I have to attend to cassandra's funeral." "Hon? I think I can handle it okay.Just... go to bed early. Okay, but may we now depart?Sa bahay nalang ako mag papahinga, mas lalo akong mang hihina rito". "Yes, you are free to go, but you need to rest when you get home." "I will doc, thank you"

After talking with the doctor, Lucas brings Allisha to their house.

At their residence*

"Lucas, I can now take care of myself. You are free to leave. "No, I will remain here and take care of you." "No, no, umalis kana, I am going to church, and I will come back later if I feel better." "Are you certain?" "Yes, I am; kindly depart; they require your presence there." [Lucas leaves Allisha and goes to the church]

When Lucas leaves, Allisha heads to Cassandra's room. Numerous memories entered her mind as soon as she opened the door. The memories that will never recur.

She took a seat by Cassandra's bed. She picked up Cassy's bear and pillow. She gave him a hug and sobbed, saying, "I miss you so much, anak."

She fell on her knees and wept until he fell asleep.

Allisha woke up at seven in the morning on the final day that Cassandra was being buried. So he made the decision to meet her family at the church and take a bath.

A short while later, Allisha takes a bath, gets dressed, and heads straight to church.

In the church**

Allisha recognized Cassandra's friends and teachers.
One of Cassandra's friend na malapit din kay Allisha called her.

"tita" [A student yell]

She ran past Allisha and hugged her while sobbing.

The tears he stopped dripping because Allisha can not control her feelings. Lucas approaches her.

"Hon" [Lucas uttered, giving her spouse a hug] "How are you doing?" "I am feeling better now, thanks." [Allisha walks up ahead to greet the teachers and other pupils]

"Mrs. Montenegro, our school is sending you its condolences." [Expressed by the lone instructor] "I appreciate you lovingly caring for my daughter." "Napaka bait po ng anak ninyo, napaka swerte niyo po" [dagdag ng isang guro na mas lalong nag pa iyak kay Allisha]; "Hindi naman mahirap mahalin ang anak ninyo ma'am" [ani ng isang guro].

*ALLISHA'S POV*

I am so grateful that I have her as a daughter; she is a strong, gentle, and somewhat introverted person. She does not want me to cry or get hurt, so she always wants me to be strong. She is the one who brought me to tears, though. Though I detest crying-cassandra detests crying, too-I can not help myself. Sya din mismo ang dahilan ng pagiging mahina ko ngayon. Every day, my daughter is my strength and my source of power-especially now that her father is leaving me.

This is the day Cassandra is buried.

Within the church*

The teacher's family and the students give a testimony before taking Cassy to the cemetery.

Instructor*
"Cassandra is a very good-hearted child; her parents did a great job raising her. She does not want to see someone else suffer bullying." kaya minsan pag may nabubully sa mga ka klase niya sinusumbong niya saakin o dikaya siya na mismo ang mangangal. We will miss you, Cassandra. We appreciate all that you have done for us, SPI family. Mahal ka namin.

Allisha shed a few tears when she heard that.

After that, Lucas speaks.

My dear princess[Lucas struggles to contain his tears] I adore you so much, sweetheart. I appreciate you being such a kind and considerate daughter and constantly serving as a reminder of the significance of our life together. I apologize to you, little one, for not being a perfect father, but know that your mother loves you even more.[sabay tingin Kay allisha] We will truly miss you, Anak. You have my undying love.

Lucas ends his speech because he is crying too much.

Allisha is the final speaker.

He is crying so much that Allisha is unable to get out of her chair and feels faint every time she tries to stand up. Lucas helps allisha at inalalayan nya ito util she finished speaking.

*ALLISHA'S POV*

My little girl, [Allisha wept] I apologize, anak, if I was unable to save you. mahal na mahal kita anak you know that. Without you, Anak, I cannot survive.I depend on you every day; you are my strength, my darling, but you abandoned me without my consent.[cried] Ikaw pa, bakit ba?bakit hindi nalang ako? [Everyone burst out crying as Allisha spoke loudly].

Since Allisha is mute, she was unable to finish her speech.

*In the cemetery

The clergyman offered prayers.

Cassandra will subsequently be laid to rest.

Because Allisha could not control herself, he passed out.

Lucas lift her up and bring to the car through their home.

When Allisha awakens at their home, she sees Lucas with a doctor.

"Allisha? how are you feeling?" the doctor inquired.

Allisha turned around and sobbed instead of answering.
