Maine's POV

I woke with a terrible bodyache and a familiar hand stroking my hair.  I am used to wake up in that gesture of RJ since day one of us being married.  He is not aware that I know this gesture of his, baka kasi hindi na nya gawin kapag pinansin ko.  It actually gives me a different kind of calm that is enough for me to peacefully spend the whole day.  

 “Hmmm” I said signaling that I am already awake

“Good morning Love” he greeted, I opened my eyes and I saw him smiling at me sweetly

“Good morning” I greeted back, then I asked “Anong oras na?”

“Maaga pa, pass 4 in the morning” he replied

“Bakit gising ka na, maaga pa pala, tulog ka ulit?” I said and then I close my eyes again 

“Would you like to see the sunrise with me?” he asked while still stroking my hair.  I quickly opened my eyes because I find it as a good idea.  We have not done it yet, seeing the sunrise with him would be an addition to those good memories of us together, it is definitely one for the books

“I like that, I would love to see the sunrise with you” I said

“Then get up and make yourself ready while I brew the coffee” he said

“I can’t sobrang sakit ng katawan ko” I said

"I'm sorry" he said and kisses my temple “But, how can we see the sunrise kung nandito lang tayo sa kwarto” he asked

I got no choice but to get out of the bed, but as I pull the sheets I saw blood stains on it.   I confusedly looks at him and I know he understand the stare. “We did not do what we thought we did five years ago” he told me

“But there were blood stains on the sheets too when I woke up that morning” I said

“Those blood stains were because I cut myself with the beer can.  Can’t you remember? Nag-aagawan tayo sa beer when I accidentally cut myself” he said

“All this time I thought I gave you my V-card” I said

“And all this time I thought Celestine is mine” he said

“I never told you that Celestine is your daughter, I have been denying that since day one” I replied

“Which I thought pinagdadamot mo lang talaga si Celestine sa akin” he said

“Did I made you upset? Do you love Celestine less now that you know that she is not yours? Are you mad at me kasi umasa kang ikaw ang tatay ni Celestine?” I asked him because I need to know.  Celestine’s attachment to RJ is something I did not see when I agree on the arrangement.  RJ may have a change of heart towards Celestine after learning the truth and it will break Celestine's heart  I need to do something to avoid her of getting hurt.

“I will never be mad at you my love.” he said and he planted a sweet kiss on my forehead “I love Celestine, walang mababago dun.  But I think I deserve to know who her parents are” he added and I agree.  RJ deserves the truth about Celestine's parentals.

“Olga was already conceiving Celestine before we learn that she was sick.” I said

“Sino ang father ni Celestine” RJ asked

“Hindi ko alam, I have a hunch na si Patrick kasi sya lang naman ang boyfriend ni Olga that time.  But Olga never told us kung sino ang father ni Celestine.  Hanggang ngayon, puzzled pa rin ako why she hides the true identity of Celestine’s father.  Until namatay sya, hindi nya sinabi kung sino ang tatay ng anak nya” I said
