The Truth Untold

CHAPTER 5

THIRD PERSON'S POV

Everyone is mourning. Hazha feels nothing but sorrow. She was still traumatized and couldn't accept the fact that her parents died from a car accident. Hazha was crying all day and even beg God to let her parents come back but her Uncle Zoren is always there for her. The funeral ceremony will be starting in just an hour from now. She sat down beside her parents' coffins for the last time and start to reminisce their happy moments.

"Mom, dad, I still couldn't believe that you are now gone, Sana waray nala ini kahitabo. Mamimiss ko kamo, Mom, dad. I still remember when I was little, every time my birthday came, you always make me feel special. And whenever I am going to school, you always drive me to get there and get me at school when the classes end even you are both busy." Hazha started crying again.

"Yeah, how I wish it did not happen. Mamimiss ko rin kayo, Zelaire at Harvey. Rest in peace, my dear bro and Zelaire. Aalagaan ko nang mabuti si Hazha at ipapakita ko sa kaniya na kahit wala na kayo, andito lang ako." Zoren hugged Hazha.
The moment her Uncle hugged her, Hazha remember her Mom and Dad's last tight hug. She cried again.
"Shush, I can feel your pain, dear. I know your Mom and Dad is in heaven now with God and I know they will be sad seeing you crying. Tama na pagtuok Hazha, adi la hi Tito para ha im." Her Uncle said.
Zoren went to the kitchen to get some water and give it to Hazha.
She's still crying and couldn't even say a single word.

"Hazha, hija, eto tubig, uminom ka muna. It's already 10 am, pupunta na tayo sa simbahan para sa misa at didiretso na sa sementeryo." Hazha just nod her head as a reply.

After 20 minutes, they are now at the church for the funeral mass. Hazha took the pictures of her parents while crying. Harvey and Zelaire's coffins are already now in church. Everyone is mourning.
Hazha couldn't stop from crying.
"Mom! Dad! Please come back! I can't! I'm still not brave as Mulan. Please come back to me!" she shouted.

After the burial, everyone went home but Hazha and her Uncle Zoren stayed for a while. Zoren hugged Hazha. Nobody was there in cemetery so they decided to go home.
When they arrived at Hazha's house (their house together with Mr. and Mrs. Trinidad), she went to her room and cried again and again. She wishes that this is only a nightmare.

"Tito, pwede po bang iwan niyo na muna ako dito?" Hazha requested when she saw that her Uncle Zoren is still there for her. "Pero Hazha, hindi pwede. Hindi kita pwedeng iwan didto ng nag-iisa. Hindi matutuwa ang mom and dad mo." her Uncle Zoren said. "Tito please, even just for now. I wanted to be alone." Hazha pleased. "Hazha naman. Kailangan mo ng kasama sa mga ganitong kaganapan sa buhay. Hindi mabuting iwan kita ritong nag-iisa." her Uncle Zoren said.

Hazha just sighed. "Kung iniisip niyo pong may gagawin akong ikasasakit ko, physically, nagkakamali po kayo. Please, Tito, ngayon lang po." her Uncle just nodded slowly, giving up but before he left, he gave Hazha advices and he told her that he will visit her from time to time. Hazha just nodded and her Uncle hugged her before he left.
