The Heartbreaking Miracle (Extended Version)

Chapter 6: Familia Secrets

"We all know that, but we can't be normal at this point.," Antonio said sobbingly. "We just need to recover now."

After what their little brother was said, both Dolores and Camilo slowly agreed. They know they now needed to recover after the death of Mirabel. The former Madrigal realized how hard Mirabel's death felt to her, after hearing scream from Julieta and Agustin. So hard, the familia also felt the same. So much hard.

After conforting her brothers, Dolores approched Bruno.

"I think we've realized something, tío.," Dolores' serious voice told Bruno.

"What is that even mean?," Bruno asked Dolores.

Her little serious face turned into a sad one after what she've realized from the question her tío Bruno asked.

"Tío, I think we're not even taking care, or even having a thought of taking care, of Mirabel when she was alive.," Dolores answered. "I know that every single one of us in this family didn't care about her, except you, tía Julieta and tío Agustin. We've realized how important Mirabel is to our familia."

"I know how hard we didn't care about her, especially Abuela and Isa, and after what happened to the Casita, and what we've realized that she was tragically passed away because of the rubble of the collapse, realization hit them hard. Realization hit all of us hard.,"

"I know that, sobrina. We all do.," Bruno told Dolores. "Just we need to recover from this and remember every great thing we've spend with her. It might be a great thing, but it's needed to remember her.," he added.

Isabella and Luisa, on the other hand, got into a sad conversation after the former Madrigal got conforted by Mariano. Even after the failed 'proposal', the Guzmáns have comforted the Madrigals, just like the rest of the town.

"We never protected her from Abuela because we believe that we might suffer the same thing.," Luisa said.

Isa looked at her big sister sadly.

"And we didn't have time to save her at all.," Isa adds to Luisa's words. "She indeed help us to become better persons but, sadly enough, we didn't even say 'thank you' to our sister. Not even a single bit of that."

Just then, Camilo and Antonio aprroched the two girls. They know they felt the same way as they've suffered moments ago.

"I know it's hard, Isa.," Camilo told Isa. "We might remember the good things we've spend with her and remember her by heart."

Antonio saw Luisa crying for a bit, so he followed suit. Just then, the family, except Abuela, approched the two sisters. They now realized that losing someone is more painful than ignoring that particular person. And that particular person was Mirabel.

"Say, where's Julieta?," Pepa asked Agustin. "She's not with you for a couple of minutes now.," she added.

"Well, she run away.," Agustin answered.

"Why she'd ran away instead of conforting her other daughters?," Pepa asked.

"Abuela talked about what happened to Mirabel and failed to understand.," Agustin answered. "Julieta even slightly shouted her before running away."
