Manang Imee woke us up because she told me to go to the room to get a proper rest, I gently woke Isabelle, she's still on my chest, hugging me.
I gently caressed her hair because she's still in a deep sleep.
"Love..." I muttered softly, she groaned at tighten our hug.
"Wakey.. Wakey.." I said and giggles, she slowly opened her eyes. I smiled at her when she fully opened her eyes.
"Come, let's go to the room, so we could get a proper rest." I told her, she nodded and stood up. I'm holding her waist guiding her to the room because I know she's still sleepy.

When we entered the room, she head to the bed right away and lay down. I let her sleep, hindi na din naman ako inaantok kaya nagpalit nalang ako ng komportableng damit at lumabas ng kwarto.
Pumunta ako deritso sa kusina at naghahanda na sila ng kanilang mga lulutuin mamaya sa hapunan.
"Oh bat ka nandito? Akala ko ba matutulog ka?" Manang Imee asked while preparing some ingredients.
"Hindi na ako inantok eh.." I replied plainly, looking at what she's currently doing.
"Si Isabelle?" She asked.
"Natutulog sa kwarto, inaantok parin eh.." I replied as I chuckle, she nodded.
"Si mama, manang?" I asked, roaming my eyes around.
"Nasa kwarto, pinagpahinga ko muna para hindi mapagod mamaya.." Manang replied, I nodded, she went to me and caress my back.
"I'm happy to see you happy, ading." She uttered, I smile at her whole-hearted.
"Masaya naman ako, manang. Noon pa.." I justify, I was happy but I wasn't fine, it's not always the same.
"Sus, sa akin ka pa ba magsisinungaling?" She asked, squinting her eyes.
"I've never seen you smile again like what you have smiled before Celestine got lost, ngayon lang ulit." She told me.
"Do you think, si Isabelle at Celestine ay iisa lang?" She added.l, curiously speaking.
"I still don't know, manang. I-I don't see anything para panindigan at paniwalaan kong siya si Celestine." I said hesitantly.
"But aren't your feelings are enough proof?" She asked.
"Manang, ilang beses na akong nagkamali dahil lang sa akala, now I want to make sure." I answered.
"Don't you want to take the risk?" Manang asked, rubbing my back gently.
"I will take the risk, manang. J-just n-not now." I said, I bowed my head and my tears are already forming in my eyes.
She noticed that so she hugged me immediately.
"Wag mong hayaang malayo ulit siya sayo.." She said, I nodded.
"I won't let that happen, manang." I replied and smiled slightly.
