Lucille's POV
(Batangas Provincial Hospital)
This is the worst situation we fought in our entire lives. Hindi ko talaga ineexpect na ito na talaga ang mangyayari and nangyari na nga kay Ka Cj.
Iris faced some many up and downs but she never give up anything kahit kuya pa niya hindi niya susukuan.
"Poor Iris, she never expected this situation" Jake said.
"Same to you, Jake i feel bad for her i mean hindi nga ikaw ang gumawa non but your dad did" i said.
"Your right, Luz. It doesn't mean na ako rin ang may kagagawan nito but i put blame to my dad. Thank god umalis ako sa kaniya or else natiwalag na ako"
"Iris was expected that time you revealed as a spy that you change but god did you came back and gave forgiveness to us. Expected the unexpected, Jake" pagkuwento ko.
"May dahilan ang Ama kung bakit ako ibinalik sa lugar na ito dahil alam ng Ama na hindi ko kayang pagtaksilan ang mga taong nagbigay ng pagkakataon na patawarin sa mga bagay na di ko naman kayang gawin" he said.
"All of your sacrifices paid of suffer and up and downs. Kahit muntik ka nang mamatay sa harap nina Dahlia eh" pang-bibiro ko.
"I did it because i want to prove them that im not Jake you all know before"
"Your not Jake we never know before but a new Jake i faced and talked in my front" i said silently.
"Jake, nagpapasalamat ako kasi kung hindi mo nakilala si Dahlia hindi ka pa magkakaroon ng lovelife" dagdag ko.
"Oh c'mon Luz, she is a spy either" Jake said.
"Yeah? Before kasi napapagalitan yang si Dahlia sa sinusuot niya during meeting then since you met her, Dahlia change her appearance" i said.
"So i am lucky i met her" he asked.
"Really lucky, Jake"
Even up and downs, i hope that Ka Cj will wake up i didn't faced him even us.
"About Ka Cj is tama ba ang pinasok ko?"
"Jake its your decision not us" i said.
"I didn't mean to say it in the front of Ka Cj but siya mismo nagsabi na i need to put revenge to my dad" he confused.
"Jake listen, ka Cj did this to prove that your compatible for accepting the position you have now"
"So he did this to me?" He asked.
"Always, Jake i knew that he always guide you for your decisions" paalala ko.
"Uhmm i have to go, i am practising some martial arts, taekwondo i think?" He said and left.
"Cheer up, Jake!" I shouted.
Bruce's POV (Saturday)
Kinabukasan, pinapunta kami ng tagapangasiwa dahil iaanunsyo na ang consequence ni Jake. Natiwalag na ng tuluyan ang Luis Elgaran eh ang Jake Elgaran kaya?
"Well, we wait sa magiging punishment ni Jake. I hope hindi siya matiwalag" patuloy na hinihiling ni Ate Iris.
"Kaya nga, Ate paano nga ba niya matutupad yung pinapautos ng kuya mo kung sakaling matiwalag siya" saad ko.
"Yan talaga ang inaalala ko, Bruce eh" angal niya.
"Oh? Here comes Jake!" Tawag ni Lucille.
"Jake, one question one answer. What is your punishment?" Tanong ni Ate.
"(Sighs) i have good and bad news. First, good news is hindi ako natiwalag" he announced.
"Phews? Thats good!" Saad nila Dahlia at Lucille.
"And what about bad news?"
"I forced to renounce my position here at the district. Pati rin ang tungkulin ko sa lokal" he said silently.
"Thats mean bababa ka ng tungkulin?" Gulat ni Hailey.
"Exactly, for a year"
"Jake, cheer up! Ang importante hindi ka natiwalag thats it!"
Then, iniwan ko sina Dahlia at sinundan ko si Ate Iris palabas ng distrito.
"Visiting your kuya?" I asked.
"Actually, yes? I didnt know how to face kuya kung aalis na ako kinabukasan?" Biglang lungkot ni Ate.
"Ate, kuya will understand why you need to leave here kasi magreresume na ulit ng klase kahit nga ako ay hindi pa nakakaexam" pang-aasar ko.
"But how? How i face this stupid consequence they give to me?" Tanong niya.
"Pagpapanata" sagot ko.
"Pagpapanata lang ang makakasagot sa mga tanong mo, Ate Iris just trust me" dagdag ko.
"I think so? I have to go, mag dadrama na naman ako dito" ngisi niya.
"Sige, good luck nalang!" Sabi ko.
Iris POV
(Batangas Provincial Hospital)
Facing consequence? Literal na nagaganap sa buhay ko ang ganitong set up. The question is...... How i faced my brother right now?
Even na aalis na ako kinabukasan, hayyss what on earth is doing to me? Only God can answer my question.
"My niece? Are you okay?" My uncle asked me.
"Tito, how i can face my brother right now?" Tanong ko.
"I'll be fine, Iris. Sometimes, commonly happends when a person was nervous" he said.
"But tito even he never wake up from his coma?" I asked.
"Iris, my niece i always be with you. So face your brother before you left tommorrow" sabi niya.
"I understand" tugon ko.
So, i entered the ICU when my brother was there. Okay, Iris it will be fine!
"Uhmm kuya, aalis na ako bukas. Wala ka bang balak gumising diyan? Nah? Im just kidding, hindi kita maalagaan kasi may klase na kami sa lunes" i said.
Why i am crying? Its just argh!!!
"I don't want to watch you like that, kuya. By the way, i will go now aalis na ako and i fix my clothes para ready na pag-alis bukas" dagdag ko.
Then, kuya hold my hand. It he awake?
"I understand, Iris. But did you want to wait to wake up?" Kuya said.
"Kuya? Kanina ka pang gising how?" Pagtaranta ko.
"I pretend to be in coma, Iris someone wants me to be gone" he said.
"Who?" I asked.
"I didn't know but i happy to see you again" he said.
"Kuya?" Angal ko.
"Nah? I am joking" he said.
"Someone needs a hug by me?" I said and i hug him.
