Palagi, Always (Bravo Series 1)

Chapter 41

Asteria Zee POV

"Mas mabuti siguro kung ibalik na muna natin siya sa Thailand."

Umiiyak lang ako sa tabi ni Ianah habang hawak ang kaniyang mga kamay.

My baby doesn't deserve all of this. If I could just take all of her pains and traumas I have done it already.

"Her last attempt happened here. She called the three of us before she tried to end everything that's why ganun yung reaction niya nung sabay-sabay kaming pumasok dahil ganun talaga ang nangyare noon. If it weren't for the twins baka wala na silang tatlo ngayon." Mahabang pahayag ni Louie habang nakatitig kay Ianah.

"Her second attempt failed kaya pinalayas siya ni tito sakanila so that she can stand on her own pero dahil sa dad mo she did it again. The twins almost died too because of dengue. If hindi pa namin sila nadala noon baka hindi na nila kinayanan pa." malungkot na saad ni Richter.

"I hate the fact that everyone invalidate her feelings up until now. Everyone knows that she's fine, that she's doing well but little did they know she's losing herself already. Hindi niyo ba nakikita na hindi na siya nag-oopen masyado satin? Kahit maliliit na bagay kinukwento ni Ianah satin pero ngayon hindi na, sinasarili niya na lahat. Yung pag-aaya ko sainyo sa Thailand nung birthday niya, hindi iyon dahil gusto ko siyang isurprise. Inaya ko kayo dahil after years she tried opening up to me again. She needed us that time, she told me how she saw Ash and Seth kissing in front of her unit. How insecure she is dahil pinapamukha ng daddy ni Ash na wala siyang kwenta, na mahirap lang siya at hindi niya maibibigay ang buhay na ibinigay nito kay Ash." Umiiyak na tumingin si Bernard sakin habang dahan-dahang pinunasan ang mga luha sa kanyang mga mata.

"She called me once telling me she's tired. Pagod na siyang patunayan sa daddy mo na kaya niya ring ibigay yung buhay na mayroon ka noon, Ash. She's working non-stop for years like she's asking for approval to your dad na never niyang nakuha. That day na umiiyak siya habang kausap si Tita sa cellphone ay yung araw na nareceive niya yung last payment for the project she accepted sa UK. That project costs four or five million euros, I told her to stop working dahil sobra-sobra na yung perang mayroon siya. Alam mo ba kung anong sabi niya?" tanong nito sakin mabilis naman akong umiling.

"Sabi niya baka raw kulang pa yung perang mayroon siya kapag bumalik ka. She wants you to have the life you had back then. She told me that you like expensive jewelries that costs millions kaya hindi niya magawang tumigil magtrabaho. She keeps invalidating her own feelings just because of all of you. You keep on telling her that its her fault, you keep on hurting her physically and verbally just for her to go back to her senses. Can you just be soft to her even for once? We should be the one helping her to heal all of her traumas but you just keep on hurting her!" umiiyak na saad ni Bernard.

I saw Richter and Louie crying beside Ianah while Bernard leave the room because he can't stand to stay here with us, the cause of Ianah's pain.

"I guess its time for you to talk about the past so that you can finally let it go." Saad ni Louie habang umiiyak na nakatingin kay Ianah.

"I'm sorry if we're too harsh to you, Ianah. I forgot that you are hurting as well." Iyak na saad ni Richter.

May mga umakyat na tauhan sa kwarto para kunin si Ianah para iuwi na sa Thailand.

I told the three to take care of the house because I need to go home too dahil hinihintay na rin ako ng kambal.

Mabilis kaming nakapunta sa airport kaya naman isinakay na nila kaagad si Ianah sa private plane bago pa siya magising. Naabutan ko ang secretary na hinihintay kami.
