"Son, where's Ivy Aleina? Her mom's just phoned us. She's asking for you but--"

"She left me, Pa."

"Ano? Ano 'yon, Jaustin Callum?!" pagalit na tanong ni mama.

"Iniwan na nya ako, ma!"

"What about the wedding? The house? Your future family?!"

"Tngna! Sisihin nyo si James! Sisishin nyo sya! Dahil sya ang gawa lahat ng 'to! He want me miserable! Your son wants to destroy my whole life!" and then she slapped me.

"I can't believe you, Jaustin.. You let Aleina.."

"No, Pa. That was her plan. To leave me! Maybe she's right. She's no good for me. She never deserved me at all. I can't marry a dity woman! She can not be my wife!"

Nagulat sina mama at papa. Maging ako ay nagulat.

"I'm just angry and hurt..I didn't mean--"

"But that doesn't mean you can talk behind her back like that! I know how much she loved you, Jc, and I hope alam mo rin 'yon. Alam kong may mga mali sya sa nakaraan kaya ka nga nya itinulak palayo noon, di ba? Pero sino ang nagpumilit?! Hindi ba ikaw? Ngayon, ilalayo ko sa inyong lahat si Aleina. Hinding-hindi mo makikita ang anak ko. Tandaan mo, Jc, ikaw ang binigyan ko ng pagkakataon para ingatan at alagaan ang anak ko pero ikaw pa yung sumira. How I wished Allen will rise to his grave! Because I'm starting to think that maybe he's really the one who deserves my daughter and not anyone else. Not even you!"

Nagulat kaming lahat sa biglaang pagpapakita ng Tita Michelle.

"No.. Tita. Look, I was just ang---"

"Angry or not, you should've not. I am sorry to say that maybe I was wrong to gave you the permission to have my daughter's hand."

"Tita.. I need to see her! I need to.. I need to talk to her, Tita. Please? I am begging you! I love her.. Sobrang mahal na mahal ko sya." umiiyak akong lumuhod sa harap nya.

"Then, why did you had to hurt her?"

"Because I was hurt too."

"Kapag nasaktan ka nya, babawian mo na? Hindi ibig sabihin na kapag nasaktan ka ng isang tao ay gagantihan mo na.. Hindi ganun ang pag-ibig, Jaustin! But I really am sorry. I can't let you see my daughter."

Umalis sya sa bahay ng hindi man lang ako tinulungan nila mama para kumbinsihin si Tita.

"I have to agree with Michelle. You love her? Do you think you deserve her? I don't think you do."

Then my phone rang! My heart almost jumped out of my chest!

"I just called to say I am sorry.."

"Look, sorry, hon. Please, come back home. I need you to come home, alright?"

"I'm leaving abroad."

"Wait, no! Ang sabi mo dito ka lang sa Manila?!! Sht, Aleina! You want me crazy?" hindi ko mapigilang manginig at may pumatak na luha sa mga mata ko.

I already imagined my life without Aleina and that was one of a hell! Hindi pwede..

"I am sorry if I made you like this. I need to fix some things abroad, I promise to come home. Soon. Soon as I am ready to see you again."

"You are unfair! Aleina! You can't be like this! You want me dead, Aleina? Para bumalik ka? You want me dead?!"

"Jaustin!"  sigaw nya sa kabilang linya.

Nagpunta ako sa kusina na sinundan ako ni mama. "Hey, Jc, calm down! Put that knife down, Jesus!"

"No, ma! I want Aleina here!"

"Oh my God, Jc! Aleina, can you hear me? Please come home, please, darling!"

Halos magimbal sina mama ng makita akong hawak ang kutsilyo.. I just want my Aleina. Ang pagkawala nya sa akin ay magiging pagkawala ko rin!
