When A Heart Gets Broken

Part 50: Microscope

Lee just got back to the farm. Aling Virgie was there when he walked through the gate. " Sir Lee! Welcome home po!"

" Thank you Virgie. Namissed ko nga farm eh. Hindi na talaga ako sanay sa Manila. Sobrang traffic at init. Hindi ko nga alam kung paano ako nakatagal nuong nakatira pa kami sa Quezon City." Lee went straight to the table under the big tree.

" Oh kumusta naman mga bisita mo? Mabait ba sila sayo?"

" Naku Sir Lee ang bait po nila lalo na po si Mam Rae."

Lee stopped upon hearing that name. He remembered someone but that was a long time ago. He already moved on from that name.

"Mahilig po pala siya sa mga bulaklak kaya bago po siya umalis, nilibot niya muna po ang farm. Pinagluto niya rin po ako ng adobo. Naku alam nyo..."

" Virgie, pakainin mo muna ako. Puro galing sa resto ang nagcater sa convention. Ituloy natin yung kwento mo sa Mam mo mamaya."

Naghuhugas si Virgie habang patuloy ang kwento nito kung paano nila nalaman ni ivy na iisang tao pala ang pinag uusapan nila. Yung namatayan pala ng ex bf yung NP na tumira sa cottage kaya malungkot ang mga mata nito kasi mahal niya pa rin. Na kung nag-abot si Lee and Rae baka mainlove si Lee kasi talagang maganda and mabait pa.Sayang daw at hindi sila nagkita. Na si Ivy binigyan ng pangtuition fee kasi mabait daw si Ivy and masipag na assistant.

Lee went to bed after he drove Virgie home. He is home and that makes him happy.

When Virgie opened the door, she was so shocked when she recognized a sleeping Rae on the couch.

Ivy pulled her in the kitchen.

" Bakit nandito si Mam Rae? At anong nagyari sa kanya?"

Ivy told her what transpired that day in the cemetery. Rae's ex boyfriend is not dead. Rae was crying when Ivy picked her up from the airport. She seemed so broken upon discovering the truth. She came back and called Ivy because she doesn't know anyone in Baguio except her. She wants to search for her boyfriend.

" Bayaan mo muna siyang makatulog. Kawawa naman si Mam.Sana nga magkita na sila ng ex niya para maging masaya na siya."

Rae can't hide the surprise in her eyes when sshe recognized Virgie standing by the doorway making coffee.

" Aling Virgie?"

" Good morning Mam Rae. Ako po Nanay ni Ivy."

Rae sttod up and hugged her so tightly.

" Buhay si Liam. Nandito siya sa Baguio Aling Virgie. Please , tulungan mo akong hanapin siya," Rae said while sobbing on her shoulders.

" Opo Mam Rae. Tutulungan po naming kayo. Wag ka nang umiyak Mam Rae. Magkikita rin kayo. Mabait kayong tao kaya pagpapaplain kayo ng Diyos." Virgie can't stop herself from crying as well.
