"What exactly happened?" Usisa ko nang mailapag namin yong luggage niya na pinagtulungan naming buhatin.


Hindi siya sumagot bagkus ay niyakap niya ako nang mahigpit. I felt her shoulders shaking followed by the sound of her soft cry.


Buong araw siyang hindi mahagilap. She's not answering her phone. No one knows about her whereabouts. Ngayon lang siya nagpakita.


She called me to fetch her in front of the gate of their mansion. Nagulat na lang ako nang makitang may dala-dala siyang maleta at mukhang pinalayas. Yon pala ay kusang lumayas.


"I found out about my real identity." Mahina niyang paliwanag sa paputol-putol na tinig. Iginiya ko siya sa sofa at pinaupo. I softly tap her back, soothing her while listening to her life's story.


Mala-MMK nga eh. Pwede ring i-KMJS. I stopped myself from making funny remarks. I wanted to make her feel that she's not alone. That she can lean on me at times like this.


"Where have you been all day?" Tanong ko nang medyo kumalma na siya at nakainom ng tubig.


"Some church. And I realized a lot of things. I'm okay now."


"That fast?" Takang tanong ko na tinanguan lang niya.


"I just needed rest. I'm physically and emotionally drained." Aniya. Kaya sinamahan ko na siya sa kabilang silid para makapagpahinga na. I understand her situation, somehow.


"I'll just update the girls about you. They are worried." Tumango siya. She told me she will turn off her phone for a while. She wants a total bed rest, tipong walang iisiping problema at issue.


Muli ay niyakap ko siya. I've seen her so devastated about her ex but never as low-spirited as this. Nalulungkot din tuloy ako. "Wag ka na iyak. I am your family. We can be your family."


"Thanks."


"You can stay here for as long as you want."


"Thanks."


"If you still need anything, don't hesitate to tell me."


"Thanks."


Tinitigan ko siya nang maigi. Hindi ako sanay na ang ikli ng reply niya. I even crossed my arms.


"Sure?" Pangungulit ko na tinanguan lang niya.


"Walang bigtihan?"


"Hurt lang ako. But I still want to live. Don't worry."


"Gagi, yong totoo? I'm sleeping by your side-"
