"Mrs Araneta" the doctor said to her and he looked at the family "how is she" Greggy asked him "well there is Good news and bad news" the doctor said to the couple "the good news is that, she fight and she survived" the doctor said
"And what's the bad news" Liza asked the doctor while wiping her tears "the bad news is, she still have her disease" the doctor said to them with a sad smile "but she's awake now, she's looking for you" the doctor pointed at Irene
Irene's world brighten when she heard "ako, my daughter is looking for me" Irene asked the doctor "no not you Mrs Araneta, the one behind you, si madam first lady Liza Marcos po" the doctor said and Irene's world shattered when she heard what the doctor said
"Teka bakit siya, diba dapat magulang muna" Irene said to the doctor "yes we know that, but we respect our patients decision and request" the doctor said "Awts, Pain, aguy" Borgy, Matthew, and Simon said
"Punyeta kayong tatlo ano ba" Imelda said and the three boy's eyes widened when they realized what they said "mama Meldy, sandro stepped on my foot, imagine with his height napakabigat ng feet" Matthew said to his grandmother
"Uhmm an ant bit me on my neck that's why" Borgy said as he scratched his neck as an excuse, Imelda looked at Simon "Uhm V-vinny hit me on my shoulders, yes he hit me, right Vinny" Simon said to his younger brother who just nodded his head, totally confused on what's happening right now "Deserve" Imee said as the three boys together with bongets tried their best not to laugh
"I'll go in, babalitaan ko nalang kayo" Liza said as she opened the door and wore a ppe and a masked, "Hi baby, how are you" Liza asked her niece and Celestine just smiled at her softly "M-mama I'm o-ok, it's a little bit hard na maka breath pero k-kaya ko pa po" Celestine quietly said to Liza
"Ma, am I a bad person for me to deserve this pain" Celestine suddenly asked Liza as Liza caresses her right hand "No You're not a bad person you're an angel who's simply mistreated" Liza said to Celestine while crying secretly
"No mama don't cry, hindi pa ako patay, see lumalaban pa ako" Celestine said as she slowly wiped Liza's tears "the whole family is just outside, do you want them to come in" Liza asked Celestine, she nodded her head as yes and liza stand up to call the rest
"Hi pumpkin how are you" Greggy asked his daughter as he kissed her forehead "eww daddy, pumpkin, it's so kadiri and pambata I'm old na kaya" Celestine said and Greggy just chuckled "h-hello anak" Irene said to Celestine
A beautiful smile from Celestine suddenly disappeared as she heard Irene's voice, "what are you doing here" She asked Irene coldly, Irene expect Celestine to greet her with a smile on her face but it turned out to be different on what she expected
"I came here to check if you're ok" Irene said softly as she caresses Celestine's face "can you like remove your filthy hands out of my face, at tsaka since when did you care about me ha" Celestine asked her, Irene let go of Celestine's face and smiled bitterly
"Oh and please stop acting like you care" Celestine added and Irene just looked down the floor and sat beside Imelda "it's ok, she's still healing anak" Imelda said softly to her daughter "Pst Josefina ko" Imee said to Celestine
"Uyyyy Josefa, nanjan ka pala, bakit ka kasi nagtatago sa likod ni Kuya Matt, hindi tuloy kita nakita" Celestine said jokingly to her aunt "hmp tampo na ako" Imee pouted and Celestine cringe at her sudden action "ito don't be so diri, pag si mama meldy you find it cute pero pag ako hayst I will sabit you talaga sa windmill" Imee said to Celestine
On the other hand, Irene is burning in jealousy, while watching her daughter and sister so close to each other, 'it's your fault Irene, face the consequences' Irene thought as she cried silently "apo are you hungry" Imelda asked her granddaughter as she walked towards Celestine
"Yes mama I'm hungry I'm craving for a steak and chicken mama" Celestine said, as Greggy helped her to sit down properly "I'll buy your food anak, do you want anything else" Irene asked her daughter "no thanks, in second thought, I remember that I'm full and it's NOT good for a ballerina to eat so much food, you're the one who said that remember" Celestine said to Irene with no emotion
"No anak you should eat the doctor said may malnutrisyon ka, kaya you have to weather you like it or not baka makita mo si papa macoy mo ng wala sa oras" Greggy said to Celestine
"If that's the only way for me to see and be with papa macoy then I'll just starve to death good mornight" Celestine said as she laid down in bed comfortably and close her eyes "pst leste don't say that, hindi ka pwede mamamatay hanggat hindi ako natangkad" Sandro said to Celestine
"Do you think I'm immortal for me to wait that to happen" Celestine retorted "ikaw kanina ka pa, height abuse just because you're matangkad" Sandro said to Celestine
Irene can't help but to smile as she watched her daughter so happy, an unknown tear scape from her eyes "ate ok ka lang ba" Aimee asked her and that caught everyone's attention, except for Celestine who just rolled her eyes, not caring if Irene's ok or not
"I'm fine bakit naman hindi" Irene said and Celestine just scoffed, if Celestine have a pagkamaldita she inherited it from her mom "here anak eat this chicken it can help you for your protein" Greggy said "but what if I gain wei-" Greggy cutted Celestine off "I don't care, just eat" he said to his daughter as Celestine took a big bite
"Hmmmmm wow it's masarap, who cooked it" Celestine asked them "Irene did, dinala nya yan kanina" Imee said to Celestine, she put the chicken down and drank her water directly "I'm full and tired, so I'll sleep, I don't want that anymore" Celestine said as she covered herself and sleep
Irene's heart shattered when she heard those, now she knows what Celestine felt before everytime she cooked for her "Sa inyo nalang si manang ang nagluto nyan, ako lang nagdala" Irene said and Celestine suddenly sit down "pass me the chicken I'll eat it, kasi I'm really gutom na" Celestine said as Greggy passed her the chicken and fork
He put tissue on Celestine's hospital gown so she'll not make a mess, 'I think a little lie can make her eat, madali pala siyang maloko' Irene thought as she watched her daughter eat
