"Do you want to go in the cemetery tomorrow to visit your mom" Greggy asked Celestine "Sure why not, I don't really have errands for tomorrow so I'll go" Celestine said while walking
While walking in the corridor they heard a sound of a piano "At ng lumigaya Hinango mo sa dusa, Tanging ikaw sinta Ang aking pag-asa" they heard someone sing and they saw Irene sitting gracefully while playing piano
"M-mommy" Celestine stuttered as her tears started falling "ha?" Irene looked at her "nako Celestine sorry, hindi ko sinasadyang gamitin" Irene said nervously but Celestine just trapped her in a really tight hug
"Ate sabihin mong ikaw si mommy ko" Celestine pleaded "Celestine napaka imposibleng mangyari nun" Irene said "no please ate Eneri, stop lying please, ikaw yung mommy ko" Celestine cried while hugging Irene really tight
"Tell me, how is it impossible kung halos magkapareho kayo ng mommy manamit, magsalita, mag act, tell me paano yun naging impossible" Celestine cried while hugging Irene "You look like my mommy, diba sabi mo sa akin nun, that you're just an adopted daughter of nanay Perlita, and she saw you three months ago sa tabi ng trashcan" Celestine said and that caught Greggy's attention
"Irene, are you my wife" Greggy asked her and she shooked her head "nako napaka imposible po yun sir, katulong lang po ako dito, hindi po ako si ma'am Irene" Irene said while trying to rip off the tight hug "T-tell me you're lying" Celestine pleaded as she cried
"Sorry po talaga pero imposibleng mangyari yung mga sinasabi mo, wala akong anak nor asawa ok po" Irene said as she walked away "I love you mommy, your moon will always be there for you every night" A memory play in Irene's mind as she stop walking
"If you're blaming me because your dreams got ruined, it's not my fault if you and daddy made me at the first place" another voice started appearing in her mind "if you really wanted to get rid of me eversince the day you found out that you're pregnant with me, you could've aborted me so this problem is not happening right now" a sudden outbursts can be heard
Irene gripped her head as she screamed "p-please tama na" Irene cried and that caught Greggy and Celestine's attention "mommy" Celestine shouted as she run towards Irene "Those anger is not about you being busy, those anger is not about you hurting me, those anger are from your absence as my mother" a cry of a daughter is flashing in her mind "Lo Siento Mi Luna" her voice kept echoing in head
Irene knelt down in the floor while crying, Celestine immediately hugged her "those voice, they're ringing in my head, please make it stop" Irene pleaded when she suddenly faint "Daddy help" Celestine shouted and Greggy immediately carried Irene to the car
They arrived at the hospital and Greggy carried her in a stretcher as the nurses put an oxygen on her nose because she's hyperventilating, the nurses stopped Greggy and Celestine "Mr Araneta, hanggang dito nalang po kayo" the nurse said before closing the door
"D-daddy do you think she'll be ok" Celestine asked her father while crying "come here sweetheart" Greggy pulled Celestine in a tight hug "she'll be ok, I promise that" Greggy said in reassurance while rubbing Celestine's back
"WHAT HAPPENED TO IRENE" Ellen suddenly shout "manang I didn't mean to be the cause of her headache po, I didn't mean to force her na siya si mommy" Celestine frantically said to Ellen "manang sorry po, I'm the reason why she fainted kanina, hindi ko naman po ginusto yun eh" Celestine admitted while crying
"Diba ang sabi ko naman sayo na hindi siya si Irene bakit hindi ka ba nakikinig" Ellen irritatedly said "because I believe that she's mommy, kahit hindi kami gaanong close ni mommy, I know her head to toe, all her flaws and imperfections, her gestures to attitude" Celestine said while tears started streaming from her eyes
"Celestin-" Celestine cutted Ellen off "kung ikaw kaya mong tanggapin na patay na si mommy, pwes ako hindi, hindi ko kayang tanggapin na wala na siya, sinubukan ko pero hindi ko kaya, kasi ako lang yung nasasaktan eh" Celestine cried as she remained silent
"Anak please makinig ka naman kahit ngayon lang" Greggy said "bakit daddy ikaw ba nakikinig diba hindi, so please kahit ngayon lang oh, please" Celestine pleaded "papaano kung hindi siya si Irene edi umasa ka sa wala, Celestine naman, sinasabihan ka lang namin na wag masyadong pakampate dahil malay mo mali pala yung expectations mo, ikaw lang yung lalong masasaktan" Ellen said and Celestine just cried so hard
"Anak kaya ka naming suportahan pero natatakot kami na baka lalo ka lang masaktan" Greggy said "no, buo na yung desisyon ko, and nag pa dna kami ni mama Imee last week and I expect the results today, pag na patunayan kong siya si mommy, just accept the fact na buhay siya" Celestine said
"What if mag negative yung results" Ellen said while looking directly at Celestine's eyes "if the results is negative, then I'll accept the fact that mommy is already dead and forget her as if she don't exist in my life" Celestine said making both ellen and Greggy shock
"No you'll not" Greggy said "yes I will if that's the only way for me not to feel the all pain and burden that I'm feeling right now because of her" Celestine said coldly
This is Ellen's biggest fear, Celestine is back, the old Celestine is back, Ellen looked at Celestine's eyes and it shows deep hatred and coldness, only if she can see the future, sometimes she can't help but to think, what will Celestine's reaction be if she found out her father's infidelity to Irene
If there's reason why Ellen's not wishing that Irene and the maid is not one is because of the truth that she's been hiding, the truth about Greggy's affair, she's scared that if Irene's truly alive she'll not forgive Greggy, even if he begs in front of her
After a few hours the doctor finally came out "doc how is she" Celestine was the first one to asked "she's now stable and I noticed that the patient have an amnesia, but I expect that her memories will return when she wake up, and Celestine I'll give you something that you've been longing later ok" the doctor said before leaving
The three of them entered the room and they saw Irene sleeping peacefully with an oxygen on her nose "she looks so pretty, isn't she" Celestine asked them "she's indeed pretty anak" Greggy said when the doctor entered holding an envelope "here's the results of the last weeks DNA test" He gave the envelope to Celestine and she took a deep breath before opening it
She opened the envelope and she gasp in shock "N-no, w-wait" Celestine stuttered as tears started streaming from her eyes "what's the results anak" Greggy asked her "it's…" Celestine said as she looked at her father
