Sadness and Pain, that is what Greggy's feeling right now as he waited patiently for the doctor to come out of the ER "Greggy calm down, Celestine is a fighter kaya wag kang mag panic" Imelda said to his son in law
But she's also worried for her granddaughter, for Imelda, Irene and Celestine's relationship is like the sun and moon, Celestine is like a moon who likes to hide secrets in the dark, and Irene is like the sun who is really bright and source of light and happiness
A moon who wanted to be with her sun, but the sun keeps her distance and avoid her moon, "mommy, Greggy kain muna kayo" Imee said to her mother and brother in law "busog pa ako" Greggy said silently to his sister in law
The Marcos family let him do whatever he likes, a few hours have passed the doctor finally came out from the ER "Doc how's my daughter" Greggy ask the doctor, and the doctor let out a deep sigh
"Mr. Araneta, your daughter's heart is weak due to her cardiovascular disease, hasn't she told you this" The doctor said to Greggy and his legs began to tremble after hearing those words
"She hasn't told anyone yet including me" Greggy said to the doctor "Well luckily her disease is not severe pwede pa natin itong maagapan, for now she's still unconscious due to the damage on her head and pneumonia, excuse me" the doctor said before leaving
Greggy and his in-laws entered the room and they saw Celestine laying in bed with a lot of hose and apparatus around her, fresh cuts can be seen on her arms, Greggy approached his daughter and cried
"Anak please wake up na, anak, it's daddy oh diba I sabi mo gusto mo pang pumunta sa London next week, anak please daddy is here na" Greggy cried as he hugged Celestine's unconscious body
"Call Irene, tell her to be here" Imelda said to Imee as she wiped her tears as she watched her son in law suffered from Irene's mistakes, Liza couldn't help but to cry, she felt bad for celestine, she don't deserves this pain, she don't deserve to have Irene as her mother, A mother who treat her not a person, but who treat her as if Celestine is an animal
Meanwhile back in Forbes Park, Irene is still in Celestine's bedroom sleeping peacefully, she managed to sleep after everything has occurred, she woke up because of the phone ring
"Hello manang why did you call" Irene asked her sister as she scrunched her eyes "come here in the hospital right now, we have news about Celestine" Imee said to her sister and Irene's eyes went wide as she stand up quickly
"What happened to her, is she ok" Irene asked her sister "kaya nga pumunta ka nalang dito ng malaman mo, and oh please eat breakfast first ok, I maybe mad at you but that doesn't mean I don't care about you anymore" Imee said before turning off her phone
Irene immediately run to their bedroom to prefer, she decided to wear her white shirt paired with her brown wide pants and her nude chanel ballet flats, she gets her bag in her closet before leaving the room
She saw a variety of foods in the dining area, "Kumain ka muna Irene bago ka umalis" Manang Ellen said to Irene "no manang I'll be at the hospital lang, doon nalng ako kakain" Irene said as she run towards her car
She drives her car and luckily the traffic isn't bad, she arrived at st Luke's and she entered the hospital, she saw her sister Imee and Aimee
"Manang, Ading" Irene said but Imee just ignored her and Aimee welcome her with a hug "I believe a 50/50 news is waiting for you" Aimee said to her older sister and Irene just walked silently until they reached Celestine's door
"Wag nalang kaya ako tumuloy" Irene said to Aimee "ate, don't let your fear take over you walang papatay sayo sa loob, well maybe your conscience will" Aimee said to Irene, she took a deep breath and opened the door
She entered the room and she saw her family inside together with her "maiwan muna namin kayo" Liza said as they leave the room, Irene went close to her daughter and cried
"Anak, it's probably my first time saying that word to you, Please wake up, please babawi si mommy promise yan, sorry that mommy put you in this situation" Irene said as she hugged her daughter's body, She's Guilty and she regretted all her sins and irresponsibility to her daughter
She can't fathom remember the last time she treated her daughter well, but did she really?, A question always runs to her mind, how can she let her anger go out of line.
Irene caresses Celestine's face, she's indeed the mini version of her, Irene can't help but to smile as she looked at her daughter "have you eaten" Irene asked her husband "only a person like you have appetite on eating, siguro masaya ka dahil mawawala na yung anak natin" Greggy said to his wife coldly
"What do you mean" Irene asked him "MY daughter is diagnosed with cardiovascular disease and malnutrisyon" Greggy said to Irene with a little hit of anger, Irene's heart shattered knowing that, that disease killed her father
"Luckily it's still not severe, but she have to watch out on her daily activities and diets kung ayaw mo siyang matuluyan" Greggy said to Irene, "Do you think she'll forgive me" she suddenly asked her husband "Do you really think you deserve her forgiveness after all the pain that you've caused" Greggy said to Irene with no emotion
Irene couldn't help but to cry again, "and do you really think it's easy for her to forgive a so called mother like you" Greggy said to Irene "p-please stop ranting" Irene pleaded while crying "why would I stop, truth hurts right, ipamumukha ko sayo lahat ng kasalanan mo, kasi kulang pa yang sakit na yan sa nararamdaman ng anak KO" Greggy continue ranting
"Kung hindi dahil sayo edi sana maayos pa yung anak ko" Greggy added while crying endlessly "nung umalis one night, talaga bang sa mga amiga mo ikaw pumunta" Greggy asked her "so you knew that she was almost rape at hindi mo manlang sinabi sa akin" Greggy said but Irene just remained silent
"Irene naman, papaano kung hindi ka nakarating eh di maslala yung trauma na mararanasan ni Celestine" Greggy shouted making Irene flinch "if I knew na mangyayari yun sa tingin mo iiwan ko siya doon" Irene defended herself, but Imee suddenly enter and slap her hard on her face
"You've proven yourself that you're a terrible mother" Imee said to her sister while Imelda stopped her "Imee ano ba" Imelda said to her older brother "Mom, stop tolerating her, it's her fault kung bakit nangyayari to" Imee said to Imelda "I wonder what will dad say if he's still alive and find out what happened to his only granddaughter" Imee said to her sister Sternly
"Ano ba manang wag mo idamay si daddy dito" Irene said "why kasi alam mo, that he will be more disappointed and mad at you than mommy" Imee challenges her sister
On the other hand, Celestine is having a seizure "Celestine ading" Bongbong shouted as Irene and Greggy looked at their daughter "a-anak, Tumawag kayo ng doctor dali" Greggy frantically said as the doctors entered the room
"Please leave the room" the doctor said as they get out of the room, all they could hear was the panicking shout of the doctor's in-charge "It can't be" one nurse said "doc her pulse rate is going low" the nurse said
"900 voltage clear" the doctor said as he do AED cpr, the doctor took a deep breath, before announcing the shocking news
On the other hand, the Marcos family are panicking, Irene is crying endlessly, so does Greggy, 'please save my daughter lord, I know that you're disappointed to me, but please don't take her yet' Irene prayed
The doctor came out "Doc how is she" Irene immediately asked the doctor "Mrs Araneta" the doctor said
To be continue
