Another week had passed, Irene was planning already to tell her family about everything she kept for too long. She's trying to ready herself for the possibility she could face.

Emmeline knows Irene was having a hard time so she called Irene over at their house so they could talk.

"How are you, Irene?", Tanong ni Emmeline nasa garden Sila Ngayon at tahimik ang paligid. It was noon time.

"Okay lang manang, sasabihin ko na Kila mommy Yung tungkol Kay Zoey manang sa makalawa.", Irene informed her over.

"Gusto mo samahan kita?"

Ngumiti naman si Irene, "thank you manang pero Hindi na kailangan. Salamat ha"

Emmeline smiled she's seeing Irene becoming stronger, "sige Sabi mo. Basta pag kailangan mo Ako nandito lang ang manang ha". Emmeline said and caressed Irene's hand.

"Salamat manang."

"Kamusta na kayo ni greggy?", Tanong ni Emmeline ulit dahil alam nito na nag-away ang dalawa Ng malaman ni greggy ang totoo Hindi ito sinabi ni Irene Kay Emmeline Kay nagtaka ito.

"Pumunta Dito Yung dalawang anak mo nung nakaraan binisita si Zoey at niyayang lumabas. Nasabi nila saamin na 'yon pinagtapat mo na nga daw", pagpapaliwanag ni Emmeline.

"Pumunta Sila rito?"

"Oo, pumunta Sila nag-mall noon. Dito na kami nag dinner lahat at nasabi nga nila saakin. Kaya dali-dali din kitang tinawagan Ng Gabi na iyon dahil gusto nilang Kamustahin kita"

Ngumiti naman si Irene.

"Napapadalas ang yaya nila kay zoey ayun tuwang-tuwa naman siya", saad niya at tinignan si irene na nakatingin lang sa malayo.

"So kamusta nga kayo ni greggy? Okay na ba kayo?"

Huminga ng malalim si Irene.

"Galit padin siya manang emme, di pa kami nag-uusap na hindi nagkakasakitan", saad nito.

"Gusto mo bang tulungan kitang kausapin siya?"

"Hindi na manang emme, kaya ko na'to. Kaya ako nagpunta dahil gusto kong ipaalam sayo manang na sasabihin ko na kila mommy at manang ang tungkol kay zoey", saad nito at tinignan si emmline na nakatingin sakanya habang nakangiti.

"Gusto mo samahan ka ng manang?"

Yumakap si Irene kay emmeline, "Slamat manang pero hindi na, gaya ng sabi ko noon ako ang mag-aayos nito"

"Ang tapang tapang mo na Irene, basta tabdaan mo nandito lang ang manang kapag kailangan mo ako", paalala nito.

It took them sometime talking about the past and showing Irene all the milestone of her daughter, not until emmeline excused herself at her husband was calling already.

"Dito kana mag-dinner pauwi na daw yung dalawa at nagtake-out na ng pagkain. I'm sure zoey would be glad to see you again", dagdag nito kaya tumango nalang siya dahil gusto na rin niya makita ulit ang anak niya.

Masiyadong siya naging busy sa mg events at problema niya sa buhay at hindi na nadalaw ang kanyang anak. And now all she wanted is to see her daughter.

It didn't took long, emmeline went out to greet her mag-ama. And irene followed after.

"Hello mommy, tito greggy and kuya's are with u--", she wasn't able to finish her sentence when she saw Irene.

"Tita Irene?", she uttered and went immeditely to hug her. Indeed zoey missed the woman also.

"I miss you tita", she said still hugging irene. This made irene teary-eyed that's all she wanted right now, to feel the comfort and warmth of her daughter.
