(A/N: Guys. Last Chapter na to so bear with me. Hahaha. Sorry sa kabaduyan. Pero sana ma appreciate niyo ang efforts ko. I know it's been a while since nag update ako. Pero I am still hoping na basahin niyo pa din to. ^_^V Last na promise. But I'm still thinking of a book 2.

Fan. Like. Comment. Happy Reading)

Karinah's POV

I blinked my eyes for several times. Masyadong maliwanag.

"I'm glad you're awake."

"Dad?" Umupo ako galing sa pag kakahiga and Dad helped me out.

"Princess. Are you okay?" Tanong ni Dad.

"How long have you been here? Asan si Mom? Si Kuya Ken? Where is everybody?"

Si dad lang kasi ang nandito. Kahit sila Joanna wala.

"They're packing. And you're Mom and your kuya Ken's outside. Inaayos nila ang bills ng hospital pati ang travel clearance mo."

"Wait, what? Aalis? Ako? Bakit? Ano bang nangyayari?"

"Baby. May nakitang tumor sa may lungs mo. And it's tracking your heart. Again. The doctor said na kaylangan mo ng bagong environment at dun ka na lang mag papagaling at ooperahan. Mas matututukan ka ng mga doctor don."

"Saan tayo pupunta? Pano sila Che? Si Benzon? Si Kuya Erin? Iiwan ko sila?" Natataranta akong nagtatanong kay Daddy. Mi hindi ko nga napansin yung fact na may tumor nanaman ako. And worst maging cancer.

"Sasama sila Kari. But the girls can't stay. Si Benzon lang ang makakapag stay since ang parents niya nandon. And I know you need him as a company. Even your kuya Erin will come."

"But where?"

"Where going back to New York. It's for the better Karinah. Trust me."

"Dad, did you already know what happen sa Caramoan?" I confusedly asked.

"Let's not talk about it here. I know it's still fresh, and you're still hurting. Remember baby, your still young. Very, Young." Then he smiles. Yung smile na parang sinasabi niya na okay lang magkamali kasi bata pa ako. Dad's right I am too young.

*Tok tok*

"Ako na." Sabi ni Dad.

I watched him as he opens the door, baka sila Benzon.

"Good Evening po."

"Oh iho, pasok, Jay Ar right. We've met at the party."

"Opo tito. Pwede po bang makausap si Karinah?"

"I'm here!" Masigla kong sabi.

"Yoh! Kumusta?"

"Labas na ako Princess. I'll help fix things. Okay?" Sabay labas ni Daddy.

Binaling ko ang atensyon ko kay Jay Ar. One of those memories I want to keep. If given a chance, kung maka survive man ako, I hope, we'll meet again.

"Ang daya mo ha! Isang buwan na akong nadito ngayon ka lang dumalaw. And all you can say is a "YOH! KUMUSTA?" na parang walang nangyari. Upakan kaya kita ngayon!" Almost pasigaw na sabi ko, yung parang galit. Hahahha. Man ttrip lang.

Nag titigin kami at parang nakita ko ang guilt look sa mata niya. Natawa na lang ako bigla.

"Hahahahhahahahhaha! Naniniwala kang galit ako sayo?"
