Obadiah's POV
You might be thinking where I am?? I'm still in the hospital.... arranging thingss... Anyway you know me right?? Obadiah Ramirez.Tita Janine Ate's mother and Tito Jerry the one standing as their father and my father are siblings, that what makes us cousins.

It's 5 in the afternoon so I rush outside the hospital. I got accepted as a nurse in Agoncillo Hospital. I graduated nursing at America but I went to the Philippines to visit my family.

Ate's a strong girl despite of all those things what happened to her. She cries, well... who doesn't? but she's strong. I just don't know what will happen to her when she'll knew what truly happened to her parents. That it wasn't an accident, at all...

As a walk I remember all she's been through the day she met Tristan and the day... where.. she cried a lot when... Tris died. She was so hurt back then, and got a much deeper wound in her heard about when her parents passed away.

I was about to go to the parking lot because I know that she will leave her car here at the hospital. I was on my way when a saw a girl walking towards the hospital. Wait... is that Ate?? I went to her and... it really is her!! I didn't know what to do when I saw a car towards her. I didn't know what to do but I know that I should do something so I run to her and pulled her towards me.

"Are you planing to get killed!!" I shouted at her because she wasn't in her right mind that almost killed her!! But my anger didn't last long when I looked at her. I bet that she's thinking that... she's saved by someone... again. I can see that in her eyes. I wipe her face when a tear drop from her eye.

"Give me the keys" I ordered that she followed. I helped her to go to her car. When I entered the driver's seat, she cried in top of her lungs saying please I want the pain to stop. It hurts seeing her like this, that she couldn't do anything but cry. Do you know what I hate the most? yung mga taong hindi masyado umiiyak, dahil kapag umiyak sila... ramdam mo talaga yung sakit na dinadala nila e.

I parked the car when we arrived home but I was shocked when she got of the car and ran inside the house. I stayed in the car for a few minutes. I think she saw it too, I saw her ex with her best friend. Aghhhhh!!!! Why does it had to be her!?!? It hurts seeing her so helpless!!! I'm not angry because I'm furious about it. Just by looking at her I wonder how much pain that could be. Even though I wasn't here very often since we moved to america, I still know things about ate...

I went inside the house the moment that I calmed myself.

"Anong nangyari kay Eiffel?" Tita asked full of worry.

"I think she saw her ex with her bestfriend" I said with a low voice just enough for them to hear. Everyone is here tita, Kuya Paris, France and Vince is here too. I saw the anger in Kuya Paris's eyes.

"Ohhhh, my poor baby" Tita said almost crying.

"Aba g*go yun ahh!!!" Kuya Paris said with full of anger. I can't blame him, he's her little sister after all.

"Paris calm yourself, walang maitutulong yang galit mo" Uncle said almost angry at Kuya Paris.

"Dad, what should we do?" asked France, Yeah, what can we do??

"Sa tingin ko hayaan muna natin siyang maglabas ng sama ng loob" looks like we don't have a choice anyway.

"Sige na, bukas na natin to pag-usapan kong saan hindi na mainit yung ulo natin" tito said and helped tita and went upstairs. I went to the guest room where Vince sleep. I will be sleeping here for the meantime because the other guest room is not yet clean so... I'll sleep here. I slept at the sofa that the moment I closed my eyes I fell asleep.

Kamell's POV
I woke up because of the sound of the alarm clock. Hindi na siya masyadong masakit! Alam mo ba kong bakit dahil I believe in God. I know that it's part of He's plan. But still, masakit parin pero tanggap ko na. Bumangon na ako at pumunta sa rest room. I looked myself in the mirror and....

"AHHHH!!!!" napasigaw ako. Nakarinig ako ng may pumasok kaya napalabas ako sa cr. At nakita ko si Kan na wala pa sa ulirat na gulong-gulo ang buhok na pumasok.

"Kam, anong problema? may nangyari ba? okay ka lang ba?" sunod-sunod na tanong niya.

"Oo, look at this!!" halos mangiyak-ngiyak na sabi ko habang nakaturo sa puffy panda eyes ko. Huhuhu!! ang laki ng eye bugs ko!!!

"Ewan ko sayo" sabi ni Kan at tumalikod tapos si Ob naman ang pumasok.

"Ate, what's the problem? what happened? are you okay?" sunod-sunod na tanong niya.

"Hindi ako okay, look at this" sabi ko sabay turo sa mga mata ko, inirapan niya lang ako at umalis.

"Hep, hep, hep" pigil ko na may kasamang action na stop sa taong papasok sa kwarto ko.

"Before you say something else, I'm okay. Just go Kuya"

"Ahhh, okay. Pero okay ka lang ba talaga???"

"Yeah, just go already" tinalikuran ko siya nung pagkatapos. Pumasok ulit sa cr at nagsimulang maligo. Ito na naman ang traydor kong luha, nagbagsakan na naman!!

Bumaba na ako nung matapos kong magbihis. Pagbaba ko nakita ko sila mom, dad, Kan at Ob. Wala sila Kuya dahil may trabaho siya at maaga yung pasok ni France. Umupo na ako at nagsimula na kaming kumain. Walang may umimik habang kumakain kami. Natapos lang kaming kumain na hindi man lang nag-uusap.

Umalis na kami at kasama ko si Ob dahil mamamasyal daw siya sa school at si Kan naman kasama yung sasakyan niya. Ewan ko dun? Pagkarating ko nagpark ako sa parking lot ng ospital dahil ala una na kasi? 2:00-10:00 kasi yung duty ko. Alas 12 na akong nagising kanina, pero bakit bago lang din sila nagising kanina?? weird?? kung umaga ako, umaga din sila??

"Mell" napalingon ako sa taong tumawag sakin.

"Mell, may sasabihin ako sayo. Pwede ka ba mamaya? 2:00-10:00 ka din diba?"
sabi ni Clarisse ulit.

"Sige, after duty" yun na lang ang sabi ko. Dahil sa pagkalutang ko hindi ko alam na nandito na ako sa tapat ng ospital, nakita ko sila Fall nag-hi lang siya at binigyan ako ng number niya. I felt guilty na hindi ako masyadong nakapagspend ng oras sa mga bago kong kaibigan, pero alam kong naiintindahan nila ako. Mabuti na lang at hindi ako nagkaextention dahil sa kalutangan ko. Hindi ko na talaga alam ang ginagawa ko. Nang matapos magduty nakaramdam ako ng pagod sa katawan ko.

"Mell, dun na lang tayo sa 24 hours na coffee shop" yaya sakin ni Clarisse.

"Sige, halika na" sabi ko sabay hila sa kanya papunta sa 24 hours na coffee shop. The sooner the better naaantok na kasi ako. Pagkarating namin umorder agad siya at umupo na sa harapan ko.

"So, anong pag-uusapan natin?" tanong ko agad, naaantok na talaga kasi ako.

"It's about... Johnny"

"What about him?"

"He's in a relationship with Cyllie" nung sinabi niya yun parang nawala bigla yung antok ko. Alam niya?? Sabagay magkasama nga sila kahapon ng duty.

"I know" yun na lang ang nasabi ko. Tanga lang siguro ang hindi nakakita kung paano sila nagkatinginan. At isa ako don, naging tanga sa kanya na iba naman pala yung mahal.

"Alam mo? kailan? okay ka lang ba?" sunod-sunod na tanong niya, isa pa tung kaibigan ko.

"oo alam ko, kahapon nakita ko at.... okay lang ba ako??? kung sabihin kong okay lang ako, I'm just lying to you and myself. Kaya no, I'm not okay" Kalmadong sabi ko, actually I'm not mad. Maybe I just feel sad, that's all.

"Alam mo, pero bakit hindi ka galit!!?" galit na sigaw niya sakin.

"Clar, I don't want to hold grudges"
