Thea's POV

"Uhmm... She's uh..."

"She's gone." Si Cal ang sumagot.

"Anyways, the Doctor will be here shortly." Dagdag niya pa.

Nakahinga ako ng maluwag nang hindi na nagtanong pa si Kuya.

"Do you...want to spend the night here?" Tanong ni Cal.

Tumingin ako kila kuya at kay Amira.

Amira just smile at him.

"Bahay mo to. Sempre naman pwede ka matulog dito." Sabi niya.

"Pero paano ka? Paano sila Amang at Inang?" Tanong ni Kuya.

"They can...live here too."

Zoe came and she answered.

"It is your house, you can invite whoever you like." Dagdag niya.

Kasunod niya si Dave na nakasimangot na naupo sa tabi ni Jim. Sa dulong upuan.

I guess they are done talking.

"Pwede silang tumira dito?" Tanong ni Kuya kay Zoe.

Zoe froze for a moment and then seconds when she smile and nod at him.

"Yes of course." Sagot niya.

Napansin kong nagbulungan sila Jim at Jam kaya napatingin ako sa kanila.

Umiling silang dalawa sa akin.

I know they are thinking that Zoe will be hurt if that girl stays here with her and Kuya. Hindi ko alam kung anong naisipan niya at pumayag siya. Hindi porque wala siyang pakiramdam ngayon aabusuhin niya na ang sarili niya.

"Ms. Z. Doctor Marky is here." Sabi ng katulong kay Zoe

Marky then came. He bowed his head to Zoe and look around.

"Afternoon ladies and gentlemen." Bati niya.

"Low." Sagot ni Shon.

Napatingin si Marky kay Kuya.

Marky is our family Doctor. Kuya's friend and later Zoe's friend and Doctor too. He knows kuya as much as I do.

Lumapit siya kay Kuya and he bows his head. He is a Mafia member and he knows who's the Boss.

"Take him upstairs. Tapos na naman yata siyang kumain." Utos ni Zoe.

Niyaya si Kuya ni Marky.

"Pwede...akong sumama?" Tanong ni Amira.

Zoe look at her.

"Sure. Go ahead." Sabi niya lang.

Magkasunod silang pumunta sa kwarto upang ma examine ni Marky. If there are any damages or what to him.

"What are you doing Z?" Cal started to confront her. Well, if not him I would.

Zoe didn't answer and started eating her dessert.

"You can't just let her here." Sabi pa niya.

Zoe put down her fork and look at Cal.

"Cal.." She helplessly said.

"What should I do? What if... What if he left us again? Paano kung di ako pumayag tapos sasabihin niya na magkasama silang aalis? Paano nanaman tayo? Ano nanamang gagawin ko?" She asked.

A tear fell.

She's crying.

"I want to get rid of her immediately and take Justine from her. But how could I do that? How could I, when he looks at her like the way he looks at me before? How could I, when he is smiling in front of her? How could I take his happiness? Kaya ko bang gawin yon? Kay Justine? Ha?" Sunod sunod na tanong niya.

Napayuko ako.

"Zoe.. You don't feel anything. How can they hurt you like this?" Cal mumbled.

"I don't know.. Maybe I'm...I'm better now. I can feel pain and it fucking hurts. I feel like someone is squeezing my heart so hard, so hard that I can't breath." Sagot niya.

Nakita ko ang pagsabunot niya sa buhok niya na agad namang pinigilan ni Jam, Cal at Dave.

"Don't do this Z. You're not like this." Sabi ni Jam habang hawak ang kamay niya upang pigilan siya sa pagsabunot sa sarili niyang buhok.

"What should I do...?" Paulit ulit na bulong niya. She's still crying.

I feel sorry for her. Hindi niya maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman niya. I know she's frustrated, angry, jealous, happy and sad at the same time. Because I feel that too.

"When will you stop going through this hell Z?" Mahinang bulong ko.

Minutes later when she calmed down.

"Make sure the guest rooms are clean. We are expecting visitors." Sabi niya nang kumalma.

"Pwede naman sila sa kabila." Sabi ko.

"Oo nga Boss. Doon sa kabilang bahay." Sabat ni Shon.

Zoe look at me and then Shon.

We're referring to the other house on the other sides of the Main mansion.

Kuya landscaped it.

The whole place has three Mansions. On the left is where Shon and I are residing. The main mansion is where Zoe, Cal, Jim and Jam is living which is in the middle. The house on the right is currently vacant.

It's not a s big as the main masion but it is a three storey house with a three rooms each floor. The two houses is smaller than the house in the middle.

Kuya made it that way so we won't need to live far from each other. But even if it's in the same lot each houses has it own gates to maintain the privacy of the owner. Own parking lot and own backyard.

Ginawa niya ito kung sakali ngang magkaroon ako o kaya si Chester at Shon ng sarili nilang pamilya ay doon titira.

May extra pang lupa na nakapaligid sa tatlong nakatayong bahay para pagtayuan pa kung sakaling mayroong maimbitahan si Zoe o kahit sino man sa amin.

Kuya is like that to Zoe. He'll give anything for her. Her happiness and her protection.

"I...want to call out my Kuya Ishie too. To stay here.. We can.. Stay at the other house." Sabi ni Zoe habang ginagalaw ng dahan dahan ang basong hawak niya.

"Silly. This is your house. Justine made it for you." Sabat ni Dave.

"Tama siya Boss. Sayo ang bahay na to. Kung meron mang aalis yung hindi taga dito." Sabat naman ni Chester.

He is talking about the Amira girl.

"But you know we can't right? Justine is her boyfriend. Who am I to kick her out of the house?" Tanong ni Zoe.

She wipe her side lips with a tissue. Tapos na siyang kumain.

"Well. You are his wife." Samara answered.

Tumango tango ako dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Harry Borrison's only girl. Zoe Montuerto. No one but you, so you have all the right Ms. Z." Dagdag niya pa.

"But he didn't know me.. He didn't even remember his own name." Zoe chuckled.

"Anyways, we can talk about it later. We need to check if something's wrong with Justine. Maybe sooner or later his memories will come back and when that time comes I hope he'll remember me, and he'll choose me." Huling sabi niya saka tumayo at umakyat sa kwarto kung nasaan si Kuya.

"Silly girl." Rinig naming sabi ni Dave bago siya sundan.

"Eto talaga si Boss. May iba pa bang pipiliin si Boss bukod sa kanya?" Sabi ni Shon saka tumayo at inalalayan ako.

"Oo nga eh." Sang ayon ni Chester.

Tumayo na ako at lumingon sa hagdan kung saan dumaan si Zoe.

I just hope everything's gonna be alright. For everyone, for my Kuya and especially for her.

For Zoe..
