They arrived at the morgue and Celestine took a deep breath before entering, she saw her mother's corpes, she removed the cloth and she saw Irene's pale face, Celestine scream when she saw her

"M-mommy why are you so pale po, you're not like this naman nung nagkita tayo diba" Celestine said to Irene while touching her face "mommy are you ok, you look cold even your body is cold" Celestine said as she removed her scarf and put it on Irene's body

While Greggy just watched his daughter as he cried "Mommy please wake up, you aren't supposed to be here, dapat nasa house kayo, preferring our foods diba" Celestine said while touching Irene's hand "mommy, uwi na tayo ayaw ko na dito sa hospital, gising ka na please" Celestine cried

"Mommy, I will not disobey you anymore, I will follow you na, I will be honest always kaya gising ka na dahil uuwi na tayo" Celestine said "Mommy remember your promise, sabi mo pag gumaling na ako you and I will travel around the world right"Celestine cried while hugging Irene's body

"Mommy, you promise me na mag shoshopping pa tayo pagkatapos ng operasyon, how can you fulfill it if you're laying there" Celestine said "Masyado na ba akong bad para iwan mo ako, mommy bakit mo ginawa yun, why did you donate your heart without me knowing" Celestine cried "mommy next month na yung birthday ko, bakit hindi ka manlang umabot, I still want to bond with you, I want you to be there for me paglaki ko" Celestine said while Greggy just rubbed her back, all Greggy could do now is help his daughter to get a way from this pain

Sounds impossible but he'll not give up, he needs to be strong and determinated for his daughter, he only have her and she only have him, Greggy hugged his daughter and Celestine just cried on his embrace "w-wala na siya, iniwan na niya ako, she promise again and she broke it" Celestine cried as he caressed her hair

"Shhhhhhhhh, calm down anak I'm here, hindi ka niya iniwan ok, she's still in your heart alive and strong" Greggy tried to comfort her "daddy my sun is leaving her moon again" Celestine cried hard on her father's shoulder

After 6 days, the Araneta and Marcoses decided to do the funeral at their house and Celestine is just in her room for the whole 6 days, she haven't come out nor talk to anyone, not even manang Ellen tried to approach her, Ellen knew that Celestine will just get mad if they force her to go there

Celestine is now in the balcony painting a beautiful portrait of her and Irene, 'How could be the world so cruel to me, I'm just longing for a love but yet pinagdamot pa nila, kung kailan ayos na kami ng mommy ko, tsaka nila kukunin' Celestine thought while finishing the last touch

Celestine entered her room, and she saw messy it is, Celestine just stared at the giant picture of her mom as she cried, her knees tremble making her sat down on the floor, "mommy, you taught me, that a real girl never cry only weak girl does, Mommy aaminin ako, I'm not as brave and strong like you kaya ako umiiyak ngayon" Celestine said while hugging her knees under the reflection of the moon

Meanwhile, downstairs Greggy and the rest of the family is just sitting there, mourning from the lost of Irene, "Tito Greggy condolence po" He heard someone said "ay Marco nandito ka pala" Greggy said "Greg condolence from our family to yours" Marco's mother, Melliza, said to Greggy as they both greeted each other with a beso

"Tito nasaan po si Tin" Marco asked him and Greggy just remained silent "she's at her room, she haven't come out simula nung umuwi kami, pero napapakain naman namin" Greggy said to him sadly, "Greggy tell her to go down, this is the last day kaya kailangang nandito siya" Imelda said to her son in law

"Ma, only if she'll listen, pagpapakain nga sa kanya hirap na ako, paano pa kaya kung papababain ko siya" Greggy said "Sandro convince her, sayo lang siya nakikinig, tell her ako yung nagpapababa sa kanya, because the padasal will not start until she's not here" Imelda said to her grandson
