   I forgot myself. Seeing Mary lying longer in that bed brought nightmares to me. I'm still managing my business. The others managing by my siblings. I let them. I cant checked it. I'm busy checking Mary. She's a sister that I wanted to have. I don't have a sister anyway. I really love this girl.

I oath half of my life to her. She's very important to me. Those words that I always told her. That I can exhanged anything, if she's the only one we're talking about. Since we were kids. She's very kind, loving, sweet and beautiful. Her bright smile always save my bad day. Her voice always brought happiness to my heart. Her laughed made me laughs too. I'm always one call away even though we're already adult now. I can leave my girls, just for her.

My instinct always told me to put her first in everything. My heart telling me to love her more. Seeing her suffering. Pain me more. I can't stare at her longer when she's crying inside of my arm. I love the way she's being dependent to me but I hate it everytime she calls me and cried to me. The world's too cruel to her. She doesn't deserve it.

I missed her smile. Her laughs. Her voice. Everything about her. I missed her so much. I'm tired but I can't just give up. I can't. Mary needed me. I will always be on her side.

Catherine's already asleep at my arm. She's suffering too. I pity her. I'm still mad knowing Marco dumped her. That moron. I hate knowing he's my cousin. That they're my cousin. I can't just relax to their presence when they are around. I'm paranoid. I feel like they have a plan on taking Mary with us if ever we forgot to check her. I can't trust them. They are the reason of Mary's suffering. They are still the reason. Mary's whole life been hell because of them. If only Lola never gave her to them she will be so happy in our care. She won't suffer being dumped everyday.

I fix Catherine's position. I laid her to the other bed. We really request it. A private room for the very important person to our life. I made my way to her side. I stand up there and held her hand gently. She's so thin. I bite my lip. Its still painful seeing her like this. She change too much. Her hair already long. Her skin is pale.

"Mary, you're taking so long. It's been 2 years, 4 months, and 6 days, since I last heard your voice. Mary, you should woke up now. Aren't you tired of sleeping? Do you still want to be kissed by your prince charming? Harper right? Tsk! I can kissed you right now but I'm afraid you're hearing me and you'll punch me when you wake up." I stop talking. I breathe to filled my lungs. I wet my lip.

"Mary, are you going to wake up if ever I courted Lily? That's what you want right? I know you're thinking, that if ever I will impregnate someone might as well I ended with her, right? I know you. That's what inside of your head. Tsk." I fixed her hair. I kissed her forehead. "I already moved on to Cassandra. I think I can already find another woman. A woman that I know you want for me. You're always thinking about my future. Don't worry. I'll plan it. So, please wake up. I want you to help me prepare and I want you to witness it. She's so soft just like you. She's also strong. She get it to you. She's now a fighter and she's beautiful." I smiled a bit. I shaked my head as her feature suddenly popped up into my mind.

'Tsk, that girl. She got me with her humorous jokes and beautiful smile.' I know Mary will be so happy if she's only hearing this. She'll teased me and pushes me more. My smile faded.

"I'm not going to do it if you're not going to wake up. I won't do anything. I'm not going to confess. I'm ---"

"Who's confessing?" What the fuck. I almost shout. I shut my eyes tightly. This girl. She's always doing it. She's always frightening me. I bite my lip hard and I even hard breathe. "Hoy!! Anyari sayo? Mukha kang natatae hahaha!! constipated? Mas lalo kang pumangit hahaha!!" I fake an irritated noise. Hiding my nervousness.
