After All: Eccentric Collection No.1

EPILOGUE

E.C. 1

Sabi nila, hindi ibibigay sayo ang isang pagsubok kung hindi mo naman ito kaya. Paano kapag hindi mo ginampanan ang responsibilidad na lagpasan ito? Paano kung hindi mo sinubukan o di kaya sumuko ka nalang? Kung siguro nagpatalo nalang si Lourdrx ay baka payapa na rin ang katawan nya sa lupa. Pero hindi nya ginawa. He fight and able to understand not to win the battle. Yes, not to win but to accept the concept of life and the hardships.

He loved his parents so much that when they gone, he felt like died inside. Minsan na nga rin nyang hiniling na sana pinatay na rin sya. Nawala sa kanya ang puso nya pero naibalik rin nang may kasamang pagmamahal. It's surprising. She put back his heart with love that made him grateful. Hindi nya lubos akalain na may taong darating para iligtas sya matapos ang lahat ng nagawa nya.

She gave him meaning to live. She loved him more than he expected. But the world became cruel at him again. The first woman he dearly loved and will love forever was gone.

Lourdrx placed the flowers beside the gravestone. Tears fell down at him. He love so much that he can't barely hold the pain even though he made his self firm and brave. Love taught him. How stone like and tough you thought you are, It will turn nothing when you get hurt because you love constant and pure.

Agad nyang pinunasan ang mga luha nang makita ang anak. Teo put also the flowers. Binuhat nya ang anak. He kissed his son's head while they're both looked down.

Akala nya noon na kapag marami kang pera ay magagawa mo na ang lahat. Kaya nga pinasok nya ang madilim na mundo dahil mabilis mo lang makukuha ito at nagawa rin nyang kumontrol ng mga tao gamit ang pera. He did gained a lot of money from it. But he realized this isn't what he wanted. Money is not a treasure. He just came up with that idea to avenge his dead parents.

The meaning of treasure for him is not a thing that you could get and purchase. Family is priceless. No one as rich as for those who have a family that build in love and grow with love together.

He change his gaze to the woman who just came with a child in her arms. He genuinely smiled at the lady.

Lumapit ito sa kanya. Lourdrx encircled his other arm to her waist.

She was once gone with their son and he almost lost her before. Hindi na talaga nya alam ang gagawin pa kung mawawala ito sa kanya pati na ang mga anak nila.

Please, let me die first.

Jastine furrowed at him.

"Ano bang sinasabi mo?"

Natawa sya dahil naisatinig nya pala yon. Umiling sya sa asawa.

That night when his soul left him suddenly after he saw the truck and Jastine who's lying on the road unconsciously. It made him insane and scared so bad. Sobrang nagpapasalamat sya nang hindi sya iniwan nito matapos ang operasyon. She's been in a coma for almost two months at matapos yon, nagising din ito. Halos naging bahay na nila ang hospital noon pero lumipas pa ang isang buwan bago sila umuwi. The bruises from her body started to heal and gone.

Dinala ni Lourdrx ang mag ina nya sa bahay na pinagawa nya para sa kanila. John, her father, agreed to take Jastine and Teo with him after he asked his permission.

Natakot pa rin sya dahil kahit magaling na si Jastine hindi ito nagsasalita. Sabi naman sa kanya ng doctor ay okay naman ang dalaga. It is only up to her since the doctor noticed that Jastine is into some emotional issues, it is normal like others who just got in accident. Maybe she's in a trauma. But he knew it's more than that. The doctor advise him to give her a time. So he did. He followed. Until he couldn't take the feeling not talking to her. He managed a chance to talk and slowly explain everything to her. She didn't say anything at all. He became paranoid for a moment. Natakot sya na baka nakalimot ito or worse she's not inlove with him anymore. Pero naginhawaan din si Lourdrx nang yakapin sya ni Jastine matapos ang katahimikan. She even started to speak out. Sobrang saya nya nang marinig muli nito ang boses ng pinakmamahal.
