3 months passed

"HIA, THE flowers are ready." I looked at Macau when he tapped my shoulder.

I smiled at him, "Alright, let's go. They are all waiting for us." I said and went inside the car.

When I buckled my belt, "Are you okay, Hia?" Macau asked me.

"I'm okay, Macau." I replied and started the engine of the car.

"Did you already accept it, Hia? If not, we can not go there..." Macau told me with a hint of worry in his voice.

I gazed at him, "Don't worry, I already accepted it." I answered him with a smile to show him that he shouldn't worry about me.

I parked my car when we got to the hospital, "Are you ready, Hia?" Macau asked me for the nth time.

I ruffled his hair, "Yes, my dearest brother." I said while smiling.

"Pete will be happy to know that I will reconcile with my father..." I said as I looked up in the sky.

"Phi will be proud of you, Hia." He said while looking at the sky too.

I tapped his shoulder and smiled, "Let's go." I said as we walked inside the hospital.

When we got to the hospital, it was like all the memories that I was trying to forget came back to me.

I felt my hand trembling again, "Hia..." Macau held my hand, "Calm down... Nothing bad will happen."

 
I sighed, “I still remember what happened to Pete… I can’t help being scared to step in this place…”

Macau smiled at me, “We need to overcome it, Hia. Let’s go. What's Uncle Red's room number?”

“4026, fourth floor.”

"Okay, let's go." Macau said and pulled me to the elevator.

When we got to the floor where Mama was, "That's Uncle Red's room, Hi." Macau pointed and pulled me there.

Macau knocked three times before he opened the door.

Mama appeared to us fixing the food and Red was sitting and looking at Mama while smiling.

"Mom! Uncle Red.” Macau's warm greetings.

“Macau! Vegas!” Mama exclaimed with happiness when she saw us. 

“Macau! Vegas…you came.” Red said.

I looked at Red who’s staring at me with happiness.

Should I call him Papa?

I smiled at them, “Ma… Pa.. how are you?” I said and walked near them.

"We're okay, Mom." I looked at Papa, "How are you feeling, Papa?" I asked him a bit awkwardly since I'm still not used to calling him that.

“Vegas…my son..” He extended his hand at me, I walked near him and held his hand.

“I’m sorry, V-vegas for all that I’ve done to you, Macau…and Pete..” He cried as he caressed my hand. 

I looked away as I remembered the scenario of me carrying Pete at the hospital…

My Pete… I missed him already.

“I’m truly sorry, Vegas… I hope you’ll forgive me.” He said as he continued crying.

I caressed his hand and sat on his bed, “Don’t cry, Pa… I’ve already forgiven you.” I told him as I hugged him.
