Cataline's POV
[Two years later.....]
Almost two years since Ka Vinson's died. Sa totoo lang, napakaraming nangyari sa loob ng dalawang taon. As expected, ikakasal na si Agatha sa taong mahal niya. Wala nga si Ka Vinson pero hindi makalimutan ni Agatha kung paano na namatay ang kapatid niya. Ngayon, birthday ng kuya niya maybe its time to forget what happend.
"Hello, soon-to-be Mrs. Bartolome! Silently waiting? C'mon girl engagement party mo ito noh?" Pag aanyaya ko.
"Engagement? Pero birthday din ito ni kuya. Nakakalungkot nga lang hindi na niya ako makikita lumakad sa altar (ewan ko ba kung merong altar sa Iglesia). I wish if i married, makita ko man si kuya pero? Nakita ko nga pero naging katotohanan ang ang pagpeke ng kamatayan niya. Kahit kailan hindi na babalik si kuya" she cried.
"Agatha, listen to me. He never left you right? Kuya is always guide you whatever he want. Wag ka na umiyak, masisira ang make-up mo" biro ni Maricel.
"Aga, alam mo kung paano ako nawalan ng asawa, masakit di ba? You see, if that evil Leo didn't start this chaos, buhay pa sana ang kuya mo" paalala ni ka Iris.
"Dalawang taon na rin ang nakalipas, sa tingin niyo nakakalimutan ko kung paanong patayin ang kapatid ko? No! Its not a joke to lose a sibling like this? Engagement day that didn't witness kung paano lumuhod si Harold sa akin sa panahong nagluluksa ako sa kapatid ko. Baka ito na rin yung panahon na matupad rin ang hinihiling ni kuya" Agatha said.
"Agatha, come here marami na ang bisita, its time" Harold smiled to Agatha.
"Im coming, tama na nga ang drama hayyss masisira pa ang make-up" She laughed.
Then we celebrated the engagement without ka Vinson.
Maricel's POV
At the moment here at Agatha's engagement party someone else calling in no time.
[ON PHONE: GARRET SANTIAGO]
"Heck are you? Why on earth calling me in no time? What's going on?" I asked.
["Okay, easy peasy i can explained. Sone good news and bad news" Garret told everything.]
["The good news is may lilipat sa ministro dito sa Lokal ng Lipa kanina lang and our new destinadi is Brother Gerald Sebastian and if you not busy, you should come here and ka Azel needs na maproseso yung transper niya here in Lipa" he added.]
"Im free now but how about some bad news" i asked.
["The bad news is maybe by next year, Lydel will be release in short lalaya na" he announced.]
"What?! God damn!" Inis ko.
["And some good news also Ka Leo died in prison im not sure if heart attack that caused of his death" he added]
"Some relief, i gonna said to Agatha now but after nila maikasal sina Agatha eh lilipat este mag-tatransper kami sa Malvar" i said.
["Did they planned it? That's easy to know but Agatha never meet Ka Azel and Ka Gerald after nila makalipat?" Pag-aalala ni Garret]
"Maybe tommorrow? We meet them then we say na lilipat tayo ng lokal that's it" saad ko.
[END OF CALL]
"Uhmmm Maricel, pupunta lang ako ng cementery i want to visit kuya bago tayo lumipat im just say good bye" paalam ni Agatha.
"Okay, sama ka bukas? Mag aasikaso ako ng transper ni Ka Azel and magpapakita tayo sa bagong nakadestino don bago tayo lumipat?" Saad ko.
"Nakalipat na pala sila? Why not sasama ako bukas" saad niya.
Agatha's POV
Im here at Anastasia Cemetery to say good bye to kuya bago namin lisanin ang Lipa. Ang hirap magpaalam sa mga kapatid dito sa Lipa pero gagawin namin ito para sa aming safety that's it!
"Hey, kuya! Happy birthday i know na ginawa mo ang lahat ng ito dahil nagsakripisyo ka para lamang sa pamilya natin. Im here so say good bye, Harold and I decided na lumipat kami sa Malvar after namin ikasal. Sayang, hindi mo naabutan na lumipat si Ka Gerald. We meet him and his sister Ka Azel tommorrow. Hindi ito madali para sa amin pero kakayanin namin" paalam ko.
Although things will be happend in your life. Somehow, we need to sacrifice for god sake and let go your life and position. But you need to forget it.
In life situation, may mga bagay na lagi natin iniisip na pagsasakripisyo ay hindi madaling desisyon sa atin. Sabi nga, love will be never dies. That's i am here now, alive and married to someone i hated before. Forget anything to be a future wife/husband i know it will be my PROMISE.
Paalam, Lipa! Hinding-hindi ko kayo makakalimutan
Agatha Joy Aguiler-Bartolome is signing off.
