Julia drives fast as she can as soon as she got a call from Hope. Naghahalo ang kaba, takot at pag-aalalang tinunton ang hallway ng ospital. It was Saturday afternoon and Hope supposed to be with Angel for her session pero mukhang maling ospital ang napuntahan ni Hope.

Panting, Julia calls her daughter's name.
Pagkakita ni Hope na may benda sa kanang bahagi ng noo kay Julia, walang pagdadalawang isip na sinunggaban ito ng yakap tsaka humagulhol ng iyak. Julia embrace Hope as she hush her, caressing its back and comforts her.

"Shhhh. It's okay, it's okay Hope. Tahan na." Julia sooth Hope, her daughter just hugged her even more, crying.

"Sorry po, Ma. Akala ko, akala ko po kasi kaya ko. Akala ko kaya kong ako nalang pero hindi po. Sorry po kasi dinamay ko pa si Love. Dinamay ko pa po ang kapatid ko. Sorry Mama sorry po." Hope cries, Julia teared up as she sighed. She then lightly pushed Hope and made her faced her. She then wiped her tears.

"Shhhh-shhhhh. Hindi mo kasalanan, wala kang kasalanan, okay? Aksidente ang nangyari, so don't blame yourself okay?" She said even though it's also hard for her because her Love is currently unconscious because of that accident. Hope shooked her head.

"H-hindi Ma. Kasalanan ko po. Kasalanan ko kasi pinilit ko pong samahan ako ni Love, pinilit ko po sya. Ako po sana 'yon eh." Hope cried. Julia just eloped her inside her arms again.

"Magiging okay si Love, walang mangyayari sa kanya. Do you understand?" She told Hope.

Uncomfortable, nervous and scared, Hope was left outside the room where Love is. She takes all of the blames, sinisisi nya ang sarili dahil sa nangyari sa kapatid dahil kung hindi sya nagpumilit na imaneho ang kotse, at pinilit si Love na samahan sya, wala ngayon ang kapatid sa loob ng kwartong 'yon. But we can't predict the accident or what will happen next, do we?

"Hope!" Napatayo si Hope nang narinig ang boses ni Faith na malalaki ang hakbang papalapit sa kanya.

"A-ate." She whispered. She was startles when Faith's palm meet her cheek. Nasapo ni Hope ang pisngi at agad na tumulo ang mga luha.

"Ang tigas ng ulo mo! Wala ka talagang pakiramdam eh 'no?!" Faith furiously uttered.

"Ate sorry, hindi ko naman sinasadya –"

"Hindi mo sinasadya?! Hindi mo sinasadya?!" Faith cut her off, raising her voice. Hope sobs.

"Alin don ang hindi mo sinasadya ha?! Ang aksidente na naging dahilan kung bakit nandyan sa loob ng kwartong 'yan si Love o dahil wala kang pakialam kung may mangyayaring masama sa kanya?!" She asked Hope.

"Kasalanan mo 'to eh! Kasalanan mo lahat 'to! Sinabihan na kita diba?! Leave the car and just ask Manong Edgar para ihatid ka pero anong ginawa mo?! 'yung gusto mo pa rin ang sinunod mo! Hindi ka kasi nakikinig! Hindi kasi nakikinig! Ngayon ano?! Hindi natin alam kung kelan magigising si Love, hindi natin alam kasi kasalanan mo! Ang tigas-tigas kasi ng ulo mo!" Sunod-sunod na wika ni Faith at tinulak ng hintuturo ang noo ni Hope.

"Faith!" Julia yelled from her back. Faith and Hope looked at her. The latter Hope bowed down her head, tries to control herself.

"What do think you're doing?!" She asked Faith and went to Hope's side. Faith eyed her mother then Hope.
