Never Ending Y Dolor Del Pasado

Twelve

After the two ladies talk they went to the cottage already, Sophia went to Imee while avery just sitted at the corner. She took her camera as she started to capture her family. As the food was already prepared they all sat down.

"Ang konti apo, you should eat more you're becoming more thinner na", imelda said towards her only apo na babae.

"It's not konti lola, its madami na and first plate ko palang to mama melds"

"Oh you eat more", imelda said again which avery nodded

"Mama liz, are you okay?", Avery ask as she noticed how liza became too quiet

"I'm good hmm"

"You want the adobo po?"

"Yes sweetie", avery then get the food tray with adobo as she put some liza plate

"Thank you sweetie", avery just smiled.

On the counterpart Irene saw it, she saw it all.

After they eat they headed to their own rooms while others choose to stay outside and roam around, Irene went to find a perfect place where she could be alone away from the others. Unbestknown to her bong was observing her all through-out since the day Irene and avery had a talk, he quietly followed her and there she saw her younger sister whose trying to fight back her tears as she look up.

"Miss daddy?", He spoke that made Irene turn her back to see who spoke.

Irene nodded as she already can't help but to wail like a baby bong then sat down as she hug irene tightly.

"You know you don't have to hide hmm, you don't always need to show us you're strong like your handling it all to well even infact it isn't anymore. I'm here whom you can always talk to just like the old days, how you always go and run up to me when you don't feel good the times when you're hurt. Even we have our own family na you knew that you will always be my little sister.", He look up as he took a deep breath.

"Remember what daddy said, don't be afraid to show them what you feel inside. Let it out don't let it eat you alive. And its okay to cry, crying isn't for the weak but its just a sign that we're strong and carrying it so well."

"It hurts kuya, I miss daddy", irene uttered in between her sobs

"What happened?"

"I hurt her so bad kuya, I'm so dissapointed with myself. I shoudn't let my my anger eat me, All these years I let my daughter suffer alone."

"She didn't no---- I'm wrong I didn't listen I should say"

"But ading its never too late, you can start over again. You know what everytime avery got sick she will not go home sainyo but rather she would directly go to us, she always does look for you Irene. Ikaw padin ang hinahanap ng anak mo, ikaw at ikaw padin hindi nagbabago"

"I already don't know what to do kuya"

"You knew you're just afraid na masaktan ka sa mga bagay na maaring ipakita ng anak mo, but remember you need to face it if you want to fix it. Baby steps ading slowly wag mong biglahin si avery nasanay siya ng ilang taon na ganon ang trato mo sakanya masakit para sakanya"

Irene didn't uttered anyword already but rather she just nod her head.

"I'm here, I'll help you hmm. Now fix yourself stop crying already mas lalo kang sumisingkit"

"Kuya naman e"

"Kidding, stop crying na"

"Thank you kuya"

Bong just smiled and stayed with irene for a while.

On the other hand Imelda was still at the cottage she saw Irene going somewhere as Bong followed her sister, she already knew. Well she always knows but she just let them fix it on their own, avery who's still awake decided to have her stroll but saw her Mama Meldy.

"Malulunod na po ata ako sa lalim ng iniisip niyo", avery said

"Ikaw talagang bata ka aatakihin ako sayo"

"Oops sorry mama meldy, what are you doing here you should be resting"

"I can't sleep"

"Why mama meldy? May masakit ba sayo?"

"Nothing"

"E why din po?"

"It hurts to see how hard the two of you are suffering already"

There avery knows already what Imelda was talking about, she didn't respond but instead she sat down beside her.

"Apo"

"I'm sorry mama meldy, I know its also hard for you to see us this way but I don't know if we're already on the state of forgiving na. Its hard not just for her but also for me, until now ako padin ang masama sa paningin niya. The worst was when I thought the first and last she would held her hand to me was that confrontation but it didn't hindi parin siya nagbabago, hindi parin siya nakikinig."

"Apo I know how hard for you to endure that pain you had for almost years but how can you forgive your mom if your ownself can't forget to what happened that night? How long would you let that guilt eat you? Free yourself as you try to forgive your mommy apo, you need to start on yourself first. Break the chain that's holding you from the past, your present need you. Your mom need you na apo."

"How no one taught me too, I'm tired of pretending that I'm strong"

"Learn to forgive yourself, and free yourself apo. We're here, I'm here you're not alone apo."

Avery then hug Imelda tightly, "i love you".

Imelda smiled as she tap avery, "I love you too, apo".

They both remained in that position.

"Mama, Avery what are you doing her?"

"Where did you go papa bong?", Avery asked

Bong look at Imelda, Imelda nodded which bong get it right away.

"Doon, I follow your mom kanina"

Avery didn't react but nod.

"Why don"t you go apo, talk the both of you"

Avery was a little bit hesitant so she look to the both of them first, after she gathered the courage she then stood up and ask her papa bong where. Bong then told her the direction.

Avery smiled at them before she headed to where Irene was.......

______________________

Forgive and forget, two words but hard to cope.

It was the same for the first three words "For".

For what it is? Its is for the inner peace of yourself.

Forgive the people as you start to forget the past, it isn't easy at first but you'll get there eventually.
