The Sixth Girl

Act 2 Finale

Tama nga yung nurse.

Kinabukasan ay pinalabas na din ako ng doctor.

Medyo masakit pa ng konti ang katawan ko pero world class talaga ang med facilities ng Riksent dahil effective ang treatment nila at gamot.

Busy sila Winry, Travis and the rest kaya solo akong nag stay sa hotel ko.

May two days pa ako sa bakasyon ko pero minabuti kong hindi na tapusin iyon at umuwi na agad. Siguro dahil ayaw ko ding makaabala pa at para na din makapagpahinga lalo ako.

Nasa airport ako ngayon ng Laroost at may kasama akong ilang bodyguards na ipinilit sa akin ng Grand Duchess.

Nakita ko ang private airplane na sasakyan ko. Hindi na ako mag coconecting flight at direct na ihahatid ako ng air force jet ng Riksent sa Hyiliopolis.

Sinama ako ng guards sa isang private room malapit sa departure area at nagulat ako ng makita ko doon sila Grand Duchess Kady, Travis, Winry, Drei at Stacie.

"Are you really sure na ayaw mo na magtagal dito sa Riksent?" malungkot na tanong ng Grand Duchess sa akin, "I know your experience here is clearly not the best one and I am at fault here. But can't I tempt you for at least another week? I can assure you that me and my people will make sure you will experience only the best we can possibly offer after all the things that happened here to you," pagsusumamo sa akin ni Kady.

I courteously bow and shook my head, "I'm afraid I have to decline that generous offer, your highness. At the light of the events that transpired here, the last thing na gusto kong gawin ay manatili dito at abalahin pa kayo. I know how busy and hectic things are here."

Tumango naman ang nanay ni Travis at muling nagsabi na welcomed ako dito anytime.

Yumakap naman sa akin si Stacie, "This hug is from me and Louise. Salamat ng madami, Verna. You saved not only the lives but also the futures of my brother and sister in law. You will always and forever be welcome to come and stay at Greenland and Scandinavia. We are forever in your debt," naiiyak niyang sabi sa akin.

Nang bumitaw na sa akin si Stacie ay tiningnan ko silang lahat bago tumitig kay Kady, "Your highness, for the record, let me get this straight. I still insist that you don't owe me anything. I have done all the things that I did here for myself. Not for your child, not for this country, not for anyone else but myself. It is my selfish motives that made me do the things I never knew I can."

"And yet, it's thanks to your selfish motives that my child is still standing with me today, I have my daughter in law right here beside me, gave us the chance to reconcile. Your selfish actions as you keep on saying is the reason why my soldiers survived, why my country is still intact today and why we didn't lose our heir. Sa lahat ng sinasabi mo na pansarili mong hangarin, walang naidulot sa aking bansa kundi kabutihan. And for that, you have mine and my country's eternal gratitude," iyon lang and to my surprise ay nag bow ng malalim si Kady sa akin kasabay silang lahat na nasa kwarto.

"Don't ever forget, you're always welcome here, Verna. No matter what happen in your life, no matter what path you may take, the doors of the Tripartite Alliance Nations was, is and will always be open for you," formal na sabi ni Drei sa akin.

Magalang akong nag bow at nagpasalamat.

"About your compensation, Verna. It is in the agreement that I signed with the leaders of the countries that you represent," mabilis na sangat ni Kady before we left the room together.

Napangiti naman ako, "If I recall correctly it is stated there that it is up to my terms right, Grand Duchess?" magalang kong tanong kay Kady na tumango naman, "Well then, bigyan ninyo po ako ng one to two years or more then we will talk about it?"
