What could have Been

24

It's been a month

Since sinusuyo ni Ella si Jema

She's been visiting them at laguna

Umulan, unaraw man or gabi

Kahit na iinitan na si Ella sa labas

Walang tigil pa din ito sa panunuyo

"Dada!I mithyu dada!"Sambit ni Brielle

Niyakap naman siya ng mahigpit ni Ella

"I miss you, love...so much" Ella whispered

"Ella" Napa tingin siya kay Jesse

Jesse looked so serious

"T-tay..." dahan dahang tumayo si Ella

"pinag katiwalaan kita ulit sa anak ko, Ella. Pero anong ginawa mo?" sambit ni Jesse

Napa yuko naman si Ella

"Ayaw ko ng hindi kompleto ang pamilya ng mga apo ko, Ella. Ayusin mo yan, kung ayaw mong pag babawalan kitang makita ulit ang anak ko" sambit ni Jesse

"t-tito lo, a-are you fighting?" Brielle sobbed

"Brielle, apo, halika dito" Agad na lumapit si Brielle kay Fe

"T-tita la, a-are they fighting?w-why i-is my d-dada crying?" Brielle asked

"They're not fighting, okay? Sige na pasok ka na dun. Hinahanap ka ng tita mommy mo" sagot ni Fe

Tumango si Brielle at pumasok ng bahay

"T-tay please... I-i'll fix everything. B-bigyan niyo po ako ng c-chance na m-maayos to p-para sa f-family ko" Sambit ni Ella

"Talagang aayusin mo Ella. Ayoko lang ma ulit ang nangyari kay Jema dati" sagot ni Jesse

Dahan dahan na tumango si Ella

She wiped her tears when she saw Jema carrying Tobias

"Oh, Jema... Mag usap muna kayo ni Ella" Sambit ni Jesse

"Ako na muna magdadala ng mga bata sa itaas. Ayusing niyo yan anak ha?" fe said

"S-sige po ma, p-paki dala nalang po ng mga b-bata sa taas" sagot ni Jema

Fe heaved a sigh and carried tobias

Na iwan silang dalawa sa labas

Pumapatak patak ang ulan kaya nag pa silong muna si Jema

Si Ella naman ay hinayaan lang ang ulan na bumuhos

"l-love I'm sorry... l-lets fix this, I-I don't want to...I-I don't want to lose you"Ella said

Bigla namang bumuhos ang ulan

"You're already losing me, Ella. These past few days, ang dami kong na realize about this" Jema said

"n-no, please...W-we can s-still fix this" Sambit ni Ella

"E-ella..." Jema sobbed

"N-no, I'll do everything! Uuwi na ako ng maaga, magdadala na ako ng bulaklak. I'll spend more time with you and our kids...P-please... P-please tell me, w-we can still fix this... M-ma aayos pa natin to" Sambit ni Ella

"U-umuwi ka na muna, Ells. m-malakas ang ulan"Napa tingin si Ella dahil sa sa sinabi ni Jema sakanya

"P-please?"Jema softly said

"Nak, Umiiyak si Tobi" sambit ni Fe

Jema wiped her tears at kinarga si Tobias

"m-my tobi..."Ella sobbed

"S-sige na ells... go home, take some rest" Sambit ni Jema

"Pwede namang dumito muna si Ella anak" sambit ni Fe

"M-ma, please" Jema said

Fe heaved a sigh at tumango nalang

Ella sat down and cried pag uwi niya

"T-tangina...A-ang hirap, a-ang sakit!" Sambit ni Ella

Ella hurt herself once again

"M-may ma uuwian pa kaya ako?"Ella whispered

Ella got a lot of miss calls from her teammates

Today is their reunion

All of the former creamline are invited

Ella locked their door and gate

Para hindi maka pasok sina Alyssa

She wants to be alone

She owe up her mistakes

she felt the guilt building up inside her

Hilong hilo si Ella kinabukasan

Her body's weak

She did not notice she's having a fever

Dahil sa hilo, natumba si Ella

And her head hit the edge of the bed

"Ells?hello!" Alyssa said

Alyssa's worried about Ella's sanity

She's been missing for two weeks

Hindi ito dumalo sa party

Ella was still unconscious inside her house

"Ells! open the door! andyan ka ba?" Tawag ni Alyssa

"Call her again, baby. Baka marinig natin yung phone niya" sambit ni Luigi

Alyssa nodded and dialed her number

Ella's phone was deadbatt

Nabasa pa ito sa ulan kaya nasira ito

"Shocks, cannot be reached yung phone"Alyssa mumbles

"Are you really sure she's here?" Luigi asked

"I-I don't know... I-I'm worried, b-baka mapano Ella" utal na sagot ni Alyssa

Luigi hugged Her

"We'll find her. Tara, uwi muna tayo, we've been here a lot of time already. Pero walang ella na lumabas"Sambit ni Luigi

Dahan dahan namang tumango si Alyssa
