Though he already vow to get Maya back, still he didn't know how and where to start. As if everything's blank at the moment. He tried making his own coffee but it just ended up being thrown because he couldn't take the taste of it. How come he only realized that everything about him, about his family are all dependent to her now. Their joy, their smiles even his simple cup of coffee. How he wished he could turn back time, he will make sure she will never escape from his arms.
"Ricardo, iniisip mo ba si Maya? Wag kang mag alala nagtext sya sa akin kanina, maayos naman daw siyang nakasakay ng bus pauwi sa kanila."
He smiled at Manang Fe, grateful that she didn't say it's his fault that Maya left. She didn't judge him but he can say from the look in her eyes, that she is sad for him.
"Ang tanga ko po Manang, dapat po pinag isipan ko munang mabuti mga sinabi ko. Di ko sana nasaktan si Maya ng ganun."
"Nauunawaan kita Ricardo, kadalasan tayo pa ang unang nakakasakit sa mga taong nagmamahal sa atin. Mahirap, ngunit siguro sa ganoong paraan lang natin nalalaman ang tunay na halaga ng kanilang presensiya sa ating buhay."
"I was just afraid the baka mali lang ang mga bagay na nakikita ko sa kung anong tunay nyang ipinapakita."
"Masyado ka kasing nag iisip Ricardo..minsan ang kailangan lang natin gawin ay pagkatiwalaan kung ano ang ating nadarama, kesa sa ating nakikita. Ikaw ba, di mo ba naramdaman kahit man lang minsan kung gaano ka, kayo ng mga anak mo, kahalaga kay Maya?"
Of course he do..even from the time he is still clueless of his own feelings.
"Alam kong gusto mong sundan si Maya upang humingi ng tawad."
"Yes, manang but I just don't know where to start."
"Gaya nga ng sinabi ko, Ricardo di lahat ng bagay dapat pag isipan ng sobra sobra...dahil mas lalo lang nagiging komplikado ang simpleng bagay kapag nagkataon. Kung gusto mo siyang makita, sundan mo siya sa San Nicolas..alam mo naman ang Address nila dun di ba?"
"Opo, alam ko."
"Pagdating dun, tsaka mo na pag isipan ang mga susunod mong plano."
He is really grateful for this kind woman, always there to guide him.
"Salamat Manang, mag aayos lang po ako ng gamit."
Its been already 3..no 4 hours since she arrived at San Nicolas but she still can't gather her courage to face her family..especially her Nanay Teresita. She tried calling Kute when her phone ring all of a sudden, Kute's name appeared on the screen.
"Hello Maya, asan ka na?"
"Oh hello Kute..kamusta, sila Nanay?"
"Ayos lang naman, pero teka lang tama ba itong natanggap kong text at tawag galing kina Sabel at Manang Fe na umalis ka na daw ng mansyon at pauwi ka na dito sa amin?"
"Oo, Kute."
"Ha, bakit biglaan, ano bang nangyari..teka nakasakay ka na ba ng bus, susunduin kita."
"Andito na ako sa San Nicolas, Kute. Mga 3 oras na ata ang nakalilipas."
"Bakit di ka nagsabi agad..sige dyan ka lang susunduin kita."
"Sige hintayin na lang kita Kute..salamat."
He's already done packing his things..already explained everything to his children who, fortunately, gave him their full support
"Are you sure Dad, ayaw mo kaming kasama? Baka kailanganin mo ng back up sa pagconvince kay Maya."
"Kuya is right dad, we can help you win her heart. Both of you always think of our happiness first so I guess its our turn to make sure that both of you will be happy too."
