Irene never felt this broken, "anak please naman, if this is one of your pranks then it's not funny, kaya itigil mo na" Irene pleaded and Celestine just stared at her oddly "Miss ma'am, can you like make not pilit me, kasi I will have no silbi at all, if you're going to force me to remember you as my mother kahit hindi naman" Celestine said and Irene just cried hard
"Nak, how about me, do you remember me" Greggy asked Celestine "ano ba, pagkatapos ng nanay dapat tatay, can all of you leave, sabing hindi ko nga po kayo kilala eh bakit ba ang hirap nyong kausap" Celestine shouted "anak please remember us kahit ako nalang, please my little Gorio" Greggy said
"Sabing wala nga akong maalala eh, bakit ba ang kulit nyo" Celestine cried as she throws the pillow at them, a lot of nurses came in and hold Celestine "who are you guys, please wag nyo akong saktan, I still need to go kay tita ko" Celestine cried "Tin listen to me, kilala mo ba sila" The doctor asked Celestine as Greggy and Irene just watched them
"Sabing hindi ko sila kilala, please ilayo nyo ako sa kanila baka nila ako saktan, specially yung babae" Celestine pleaded while her tears are falling from her eyes "sigurado ka hindi mo ba talaga sila namumukhaan" the doctor asked again "sabing hindi nga po, please don't force me to remember something that I can't nor fathom remember even if it didn't really happened" Celestine said while crying
"Tin ako naaalala mo ba" Someone entered the room "Mama Liza" Celestine suddenly shout making everyone shock "mama uwi na tayo, may mga bad guys dito, sasaktan nila ako" Celestine said as she hugged Liza tight "Tin they're your par-" Celestine cutted her off "No they're not, matagal ng patay yung mga magulang ko" Celestine said to her
All Irene and Greggy could do is cry, their own daughter don't remember them, Greggy is heartbroken, this is much more painful than Irene's slap 'N-no my little Gorio can't remember me' Greggy thought as he cried "and Lastly I'm even patay yet, then why on earth are you crying" Celestine said while hugging liza
"Mr and Mrs Araneta, can I have a word with the both of you on my clinic" the doctor said as she guide both Irene and Greggy out of the room, once their outside they immediately confront the doctor
"Why is my daughter like that, how come she remembered liza, tapos kaming mag-asawa hindi" Greggy asked her immediately "Your daughter have a condition called, short term memory lost, there's a possibility to remember someone but a the same time forget someone who caused her trauma in life" She said to them
"I would suggest a psychiatrist for this situation" she said "can she remember us, will she gained all her memories back" Irene asked the doctor "yes, but for the meantime let's observe her actions, and go with the flow para hindi mahirapan yung bata sbpag process nung mga nangyayari sa paligid niya" the doctor said and Irene just cried on Greggy's shoulder
They went back to the room and they saw Celestine being feed by Santiago and Liza "mama there's a scary manong with a lot of white hair kanina dito sa room ko" Celestine said to them "hi Tin" Irene said as she try to approach Celestine, but Greggy stopped her in order not to scare Celestine "uhm H-hi" Celestine stuttered as she waved her hands awkwardly
"If you're here to hurt me, them the both of you are free to leave, I don't want plastics here you know" Celestine said venomously to her parents, she's either confused or mad, she don't know what to feel "and please stop pretending that we're related to each other" Celestine said to them with no emotion "we're not going to hurt you ana- I mean Celestine" Greggy said while trying his best not to laugh
"Then, who gave you an audacity to be here" Celestine asked them "I'm the one who asked them to be here tin" Liza suddenly said to her niece and Celestine just looked at her in disbelief "give me a very reasonable reason why I should believe you" Celestine challenges Liza "I asked them for a help, Uhm yes, kasi I just visited you, papunta kami ni tito mo sa Dubai mamaya" Liza said and Celestine looked at her
"Pwede sumama kahit doon lang ako sa wings ng plane please" Celestine pleaded "gusto kita isama pero, hindi pwede bawal ang kid doon, besides confined ka dito sa hospital" Liza said as she fixed Celestine's hair "Babalik kayo right, mabilis lang kayo doon, and sino mag tetake care sa akin" Celestine asked her "that's why I asked Irene and Greggy to be here, para alagaan ka" Liza said to her.
On the other hand, Irene is watching in pure jealousy, she wanted to be on Liza's position but she can't, he daughter is scared of her "Well let's just take care of her mahal ko, while liza is gone, let's prove to our daughter that we'll not hurt her" Greggy said to Irene "I guess you're right, it's also my fault why she's traumatized, pero kahit sampung psychiatrist pa ata i-assign natin wala ring silbi" Irene said
"don't just blame yourself, I'm also responsible kung bakit siya traumatized after all the pain I've caused her hindi ko iisipin na hindi parin talaga siya nakaka move on" Greggy said while rubbing Irene's back "Irene, Greggy, I'll go ahead alagaan nyo si Tin, I'll leave Santiago here, kasi she remembered him also" Liza said before leaving the room
The couple glance at Celestine and Santiago, who's busy talking and laughing with each other "Santiago really became a brother to her right" Irene asked Greggy while smiling "you're right, I think he knows Celestine more than we do" Greggy said as he sat beside Celestine's bed "Uhm about what I said earlier sorry kung nasigawan ko kayo kanina, I never intended to shout po, my fear just took over kaya ganun" Celestine apologize and Irene jusy smiled at her
"No need to apologize my dear, nagulat ka lang kaya ganun, but don't worry I'll not hurt you, I'll never hurt you" Irene said as she holds Celestine's hand "May masakit ba sayo, do you want anything" Greggy asked her while checking her face "hahaha, don't be so praning, there's no masakit sa akin po maybe this sugat on my forehead is masakit, pero you know what they said matagal mamatay ang masamang grass" Celestine said and Greggy chuckled at his daughter's words
"Can I hug you" Irene suddenly requested and Celestine nodded her head, Irene crushed Celestine in a warm and lovely hug, as Greggy hugged them too, Celestine can't help but to smile at the hug, 'i'll do anything kahit maubos pa yung pera ko maalala mo lang kami anak, my little Gorio' Greggy as he secretly kissed Celestine's forehead
