AFTER HEARTACHES SERIES #1
Evie Santandes was always the odd girl, and she was fine with it. Between caring for her three cats, all with different personalities, volunteering at a local veterinary clinic, and studying, she doesn't have much time on...

[DIALOGUE]
< CEMETERY. LATE AFTERNOON. >
Evie dragged her feet towards the lot that was reserved for a very special person. Gusto man niyang araw araw bumisita dito ay impossible dahil nag-aaral pa siya at minsan may duty sa vet.
Marahan niyang inilapag ang bulaklak at sinindihan ang kandila bago ito inilagay sa ulunan ng lapida.
Dahan dahan din siyang umupo sa damuhan.
Evie Hi, Ma. How have you been?
Evie Happy birthday.
Pinahid niya ang luhang kumawala sa mga mata niya at mariing tinignan ang pangalan sa lapida.
Evie Ang hirap nang wala ka. Mahirap pa rin.
Makalipas ang ilang minuto ay naramdaman niyang may tumabi sa kanya. Nang tumingin siya, nakita niya si Mimi na may hawak din bulaklak.
Mimi Sabi ko na, eh. Nandito ka lang. 'Di ka sumasagot sa tawag.
She didn't feel like talking to anyone so she shrugged.
Evie Thank you for coming here, Mimi.
Mimi Alam ko mahirap sa 'yo kapag dumadating ang November.
Evie Ayaw siyang dalawin ni Papa.
Mimi Anong bago do'n? Wala pa rin namang kwenta 'yong tatay mo.
Evie I thought. . . I thought he'd care at least. Lalo na ngayon na matagal nang wala si Mama. But. . . I guess not.
Mimi Noon ngang buhay si Tita, pinabayaan niya lang. Ngayon pa ba, Evie? As hard as that sounds.
Umakbay si Mimi sa kaibigan.
Mimi Alam ko kung ano na namang iniisip mo, Evangeline Santandes, ha.
Umungot si Evie.
Evie Not my full name. . .
Mimi Hindi mo kasalanan. Never mo naging kasalanan, okay?
Mimi Kung ano man sinasaksak sa isip ng madrasta mo sa 'yo, 'wag mong paniwalaan. Sa 'kin ka makinig, oks?
Evie Okay. . .
Mimi wasn't convinced that Evie fully believed what she said, but it would have to do.
Mimi By the way, hinahanap ka nung Jachin sa 'kin kanina.
Agad na napalingon si Evie sa kaibigan niya.
Evie Huh? Why?
Mimi Gusto ka yatang makausap. Pero sabi ko wala ka kanina.
Evie Oh. . . must be about him and Mila.
Mimi gave her a look.
Evie What?
Mimi Wala naman.
Evie What was that look for? I swear, Mimi, it's not like that.
Mimi Sure, sure.
Evie groaned in frustration. How can she explain that it really wasn't like that. And it never would be.
Evie You're so annoying sometimes.
Napahagalpak ng tawa si Mimi at sumandal kay Evie.
