Third person

"Hindi mo pa rin nakakausap si Greyson?" Ales asked her daughter thru video call.

"Ma, wala akong mukhang maihaharap sa kanya." Lily said.

"Don't you think it's about time to tell him the truth?" Ales asked again.

"Ma.." Ani Lily.

"He knows. Tama? He knows everything."

Dahan dahang tumango si Lily, "He knows. He's living with his father, Ma."

"At inaalam mo pa rin ng palihim mga ginagawa niya?" Ales asked. "You still know everything about him because you hired someone to do the stalking."

"Mama..."

"Lily, I may not say things to you, but know that I know what you and your kuya was doing."

Napabuntong hininga si Lily, "If I could only make things right, Mama."

Ngumiti naman ang mama niya, "But you can't. And that what's make you human, darling."

"Mama nakasakit po tayo."

Umiling si Ales kasabay nito ang pag ngiti niya sa anak niya, "It will never be your fault, Lily. It is their choices, and for the fact we know, Lucas and Greyson knows that you didn't wanted what happened."

Up until now, sinisisi pa rin ni Lily ang sarili niya sa mga nangyari. Kung sanang mas maaga niya nalaman baka naagapan pa.
