Third Person's POV:

Hestia wishes she's dreaming right now. Sana nga ay nahimatay ito at lahat ng ito'y masamang panaginip lang. She wishes this is like what happened to her sister, she won't mind the laughters she'll get after. Ang mahalaga ay masamang panaginip lamang ang lahat.

But no, all of these are happening. Totoo ang lahat ng ito. Kahit ilang beses pang kurotin ni Hestia ang sarili ay hindi ito nagigising sa masamang panaginip.

She kneeled in the chapel, closed her eyes with never ending tears flowing in her tear streaked cheeks.

Now, Hestia was never the praying peron before. Mabibilang lamang sa kamay ang mga oras nag nagdasal ito because she believed in "Whatever happens, happens." Pero ngayon, she'll break that belief once in for all.

She prayed while sobbing. Her heart's tearing apart, into pieces. It's like that day she lost her mother. Parang deja vu. She's here in this exact chapel again, praying for a miracle to happen.

I didn't get what I prayed for the last time I was here and I accepted that. But here I am again, begging on my knees. Please let this person survive death.

If she won't, then I won't and I will follow.

"Hestia." His deep yet calming voice made her cry even more.

She stand up and ran to him like a child who needed protection all over again.

"Daddy." She sobs and burried her face on his chest. "C-Cloud. I can't lose h-her." She cried, her sobs getting uncontrollable.

"Hush, darling. Cloud is tough and stronger that you think. We'll get to see her once again." his voice was soothing.

He hates it. He hates to see everyone that's close to him cry. Especially his children. He have seen them cry before but not as painful as this. It is the sound of agony and he couldn't bare it but he must. He needed to be strong for his daughter. She needed someone to lean on.

"Let's go back, shall we?"

Hestia nodded her head and let her dad take her away from this place.

She sat in one of the chairs outside the Operating Room. No one dared to come close to her as they know she's in her own world and disturbing her would be a very bad idea.

Lahat sila ay nag aalala para sa kaibigan. They all rushed immediately in the hospital when they heard the news. Gabing gabi na but time is the least of their concerns. Kanya kanyang dasal ang mga ito.

Si Hera ay halos bombahin ang pintuan ng operating room dahil sa tagal ng pag o-opera sakanya. Kanina pa ito lakad ng lakad at hindi mapakali.

"Oo nga't Cloud ang pangalan mo pero dika belong sa langit ngayon." She murmured under her breath. "Pag namatay ka, papatayin kita."

After a long— almost 4 hours of waiting outside, the door opened and the surgeon appeared. His face was tired.

Hestia rushed to the doctor, "Lady Hest—."

"How is she? How is my wife!" She frantically asked, cutting him off. She didn't need the aknowledgement right now, she needed to know her state.

"I'm sorry—"

Nagulat ang lahat ng kwelyuhan ni Hera ang doctor, "Don't say sorry! Go back there and bring her alive!" She hissed.

Bakas ang gulat sa mukha ng doctor. Albert grabbed Hera's shirt and dragged her away from the poor doctor.
