Mira's POV

Mabilis kong pinatay ang phone ko nang marinig kong may pumasok sa kwarto ko. It was my sister assisted by a nurse. Panakaw kong itinago sa ilalim ng unan ang phone ko habang naka-tingin sa kapatid ko.

"You're up early." she said.

I have her a small smile, "I was thinking of taking breakfast in your room instead. Kesa ikaw pa ang pumupunta dito. I could walk now, you know."

Habang inaayos ng nurse ang pwesto niya sa tabi ko, napa-tingin siya sa kabilang gilid ko kung nasan si Owen na kanina ko pa kasama.

"Mukhang maaga ka rin dito ah?" my sister suspectedly asked him.

"Binabantayan niya lang ako Ate. Drop the suspicions."

Ilang saglit pa at dumating na rin ang pagkain namin. I once again felt how I was left alone seeing that I am only having my breakfast with sister. Nung isang gabi, matapos naming mag-usap ni Owen sa fooftop, napansin kong hindi mapalagay si Patrick. Kalaunan, nabanggit ni Ate na umalis din daw kagahapon ng umaga si Patrick at mukhang tutulong sa paghahanap kay Xander.

"By the way, is today your last session of therapy?" tanong sa'kin ni Ate habang kumakain pa rin kami.

"With crutches, yes." I motioned Owen, "I tried walking around last night without those with his help."

"Mira?!" nagtatakang tanong sa'kin ni Ate.

"What?"

"The doctors said you must not force yourself."

"And I didn't. Dito lang naman ako nag-lakad lakad at saka, hindi rin ako maka-tulog kagabi."

"And yet, you're up early."

I just calmed myself as I exhaled, "Di hamak na mas mauuna pa 'kong lumabas dito kesa sayo Ate. I'm doing just fine. Focus on yourself." pinigilan kong hindi mapa-irap sa sinasabi niya but it was so damn hard to do.

Napa-iling na lang sa'kin si Ate. Kaya naman naisip ko ulit yung isa kong realization nung isang araw. I hate it when people control me.

Maybe it has something to do in my past that I don't remember about.

After our breakfast, my sister went back to her room for her therapy while I was left alone again with Owen. Nang masiguro naming wala na siya sa kwarto, kinuha ko ulit ang phone ko kung saan pinasa sa'kin ni Owen ang ilang pictures at files na baka makatulong sa pag-balik ng alaala ko. Saglit ko lang ipinahinga ang sarili ko para dito. I still have troubles patching up all informations. I don't want a single detail left alone so that I won't get lost. Para akong nagrereview para sa sarili kong memorya.

Currently, I was looking at different files that shows the assets under my name. That includes in which Owen told me, Zedric and his family has been dying to have, our family's wine company. Sa pagkaka-alam daw ni Owen, inilipat daw sa pangalan ko ang lahat ng assets nang hindi ko nalalaman. Hindi rin daw niya alam kung paano o kailan yun nagawa basta ang panigurado daw niya, wala akong ka-alam alam tungkol don.

"So, if the company was already transferred in my name..." I trailed off.

"That makes you an investment to them." he said as he sat down on the chair beside me, "At iniisip nila na kapag naikasal ka kay Zedric, their ROI would be definite."

"Binenta nila ako?"

He shrugged, "Maybe, maybe not."

"At bakit 'maybe not'."
