The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies, it comes from those you trust the most.
Imelda heard what happened to her daughter's family, she's now on her way to Forbes when she saw a familiar figure in the middle of the road "Stop the car" Imelda said to her driver as she go down to go to Celestine "Madam naulan po" her nurse said to Imelda as she followed her with an umbrella
"Apo ano ka ba, ano ginagawa mo jan baka ka magkasakit" Imelda worriedly said to he granddaughter but Celestine just broke down crying in front of her grandmother "Mama, he left me, iniwan na niya ako" Celestine cried as Imelda rubbed her back "who left you apo, sino" Imelda asked her "Mama, my daddy left me, he left his little Gorio alone" Celestine sobbed while hugging Imelda
Imelda gasp in shock, never in her life she thought that Greggy would left his only child alone, because it's also impossible, eversince Celestine was born, Greggy put all his attention and time to his only daughter, that's why she didn't thought that Greggy would do that "Are you sure he left you without a words" Imelda asked again
"Yes mama, mama please do something, I'm begging you, I don't want to have a broken family, mama they're planning for an annulment, I don't want that to happen" Celestine said to her while she let her fresh tears flow from her beautiful hazel brown eyes
Imelda helped Celestine stand up and walk in the car, Celestine put her head on Imelda's shoulder as she cried, Imelda put a blanket around Celestine to avoid getting cold, after five minutes, they arrived at the Araneta property, they went down the car and entered the house
Irene is crying while holding a knife, Celestine immediately run to her mother "Mommy, put the knife down please baka masaktan ka" Celestine cried but Irene just pushed her away and cut hers and Greggy's wedding portrait "ANAK" Imelda crushed Irene in a tight hug
"Ang tanga-tanga ko mommy, bakit diko napansin to, it was right under my nose mommy" Irene cried while hugging her mother "Don't blame yourself, wag mong sisihin yung sarili mo sa katarantaduhan ng asawa mo" Imelda said to her daughter "saan ako nagkulang mommy, ginawa ko naman lahat, hindi ko pinabayaan si Greggy, I became the best wife to him, pero bakit niya parin to ginawa sa akin, why mommy, why, what's wrong with me" Irene asked Imelda while crying endlessly
"Nothing, nothing is wrong with you, yung lintik mong asawa at yung kabit niya yung may problema" Imelda answered while rubbing her back "and you know what's worst mommy, sa lahat ng pwede niyang patulan, si Bettany pa" Irene cried "mommy ang sakit, ang sakit sakit" Irene said while standing up
"Let me help you reduce the pain, yaya can you get the wi-" Irene cutted her off "no mommy, I just need you" Irene cried hard on her mother's embrace "M-mommy" Celestine said and Irene looked at her daughter, and she saw tears on Celestine's eyes "Come here baby" Irene said as she pulled Celestine in a hug
"He broke his promise mommy, iniwan na ako ni daddy, he left me no words and goodbyes" Celestine cried on her mother's embrace, "I'm sorry kung naipit ka sa gulo namin ng daddy mo" Irene apologize to Celestine while crying "it's not your fault it's his, pero bakit kailangan niya akong iwan, and the nerve of him to choose his mistress over us, his legal and real family" Celestine said
"I hate him, I hate him mommy, may pangako pa siya na hindi niya ako iiwan pero ano to, lagi nalang siyang nangangako pero hindi naman niya finufulfill yun" Celestine angrily said while crying, if there's something Irene's scared of, is that she don't want her daughter to hate Greggy, it's ok for her to suffer from the pain, she can't afford to see her daughter to suffer and hate Greggy because of it
"Anak please don't hate him his still your dad" Irene said to Celestine "Daddy? Tatay ba yung tawag mo sa kanya, I trusted him, simula pagkabata I have him with me, pero sinaktan niya lang ako, tell me is it a father's job to hurt a daughter, di ba hindi" Celestine said to her while crying, Irene just remained silent
"And you know what's worst mommy, tita Bettany is the mother of Mae, my school enemy" Celestine cried, Imelda just watch her daughter and granddaughter pour all their heart out "Mommy bakit ganito, parang hindi na tumitigil yung sakit sa buhay ko" Celestine cried "una ikaw tapos ngayon si daddy, bakit parang pinaglalaruan nyo lang yung feelings ko" Celestine said when she felt a sudden pain in her chest
"A-anak" Irene stuttered and immediately catch Celestine before she even fainted "Call Doc Ilustre dali" Imelda frantically said "anak, please wake up anak, mommy, inaapoy si tin ng lagnat" Irene shouted and one of the guards carry Celestine on her room
They placed Celestine in the bed and Irene caressed Celestine's hot face, "Irene if you can't be strong for your marriage, atleast be strong for your daughter, kasi in the end of the day, siya yung mas apektado dito aa situwasyon ngayon" Imelda said to Irene
"You're right mommy, it's time for me to think about my daughter, kahit single mother ako, susubukan ko tumayo bilang nanay at tatay para sa anak ko" Irene said in determination, Imelda can't help but to feel proud to her daughter despite everything that occurred, but she knows that deep inside Irene she's broken and in pain
"Jill how's my daughter" Irene asked doc Jill Ilustre (oops alam ko nasaisip nyo, hindi po ob-gynecologist si Jill dito ok), "Well for now she's stable, she needs rest and more rest, your daughter seems so tired oh, she's pale and thin parang hindi nakain, if nagtuloy-tuloy yung ganito niyang habbit, I suggest you to consult her in a psychiatrist" Jill said to Irene but Imelda just chuckled
"Jill I don't think a psychiatrist can survive, we already consults her to the country's one of the best psychiatrist pero miski yun takot sa apo ko, ikaw ba naman ang bantaan ng magpapakamatay tignan natin kung hindi ka matatakot" Imelda said to her and Jill just stared at the three ladies in pity
Meanwhile, Imee, Bongbong and Rodrigo is in BGC waiting for special someone, "sa tingin mo dadating siya hon" Imee asked him "he better be, kundi baka gusto niya sugudin ko siya sa kanila" Rodrigo said and the person that they're waiting already arrived "So why did you invite me for dinner" He asked them "kasi mag uusap tayong apat Gregorio" Imee said to Greggy
