"Is she really Lolo's wife?" Tanong ko kay Marshan. Whoever Madam SC or Lola Zek is in Lolo's wife. Nagulat na lang ako nung tumawag si Lolo kanina to remind us about a family dinner dahil birthday daw ng asawa niya. 

"She is. Pero hindi pa sila kinasal sa church, maybe Lolo was waiting for you." She winked at me. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako especially when Yrew and Yasha insisted on coming na pinayagan naman ni Lolo. 

Yes, Yasha and my foster parents are here. Nagulat nga rin ako sa biglaang pagsulpot nila sa labas ng unit namin. Kinuha na muna nila yung mga bata sa bahay nila dahil hindi daw kami magkakasyang lahat dito sa unit.

"Ang dami pa lang ganap, I can't cope up anymore." I sigh. Napahawak ako sa singsing ko as I faced the mirror. I saw how Marshan bit her lip secretly. Ayaw niya talagang makaalala ako. 

"Matagal pa ba kayo?" Yasha barged in. Nakapamewang ito sa may pinto at nasa likod naman nito si Yrew. 

"Kailangan niyo ba talagang sumama? Makakagulo lang kayo eh." I said to them. The four of us, with Vicky are troublemakers. Maingay kami at magugulo kapag magkakasama kaya nag-aalangan akong isama si Yasha at Yrew dahil baka makagulo kami kina Lolo.

"Duhhh? Ang bait ko kaya. And FYI, may invitation kami. Hindi kami nakikisabit lang." Yasha rolled her eyes at lumabas na ng kwarto ko. Muli kong sinipat ang itsura ko sa vanity mirror bago kami lumabas ng kwarto ni Marshan.

"Ikaw? Are you really sure na pupunta ka?" Marshan asked me ng makasakay na kami ng kotse ni Yrew. Natigilan pa ko sa paglagay ng seatbelt ko. "I know, kilala mo na sila but they are part of the memory--"

"It's okay Marshan... My memories are slowly coming back. It won't harm me." I said. That's the truth, I dreamed some fragments kaya nahihirapan akong matulog nitong mga nakaraang gabi.

"W-What?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong nito.

"It's okay Marshan, we're not suppressing it either, she needs her memories back, mahirap mabuhay na may parte sa pagkatao mo ang nawawala." Yasha commented from the front seat. 

Marshan bit her lower lip furiously. "Ayoko lang namang maramdaman mo yung sakit ng mga pinaggagagawa nila satin." 

I held her hand tightly and slightly brush her cheek.

"I am Maxene Prime Chua now, and I am not reborn to be weak." 

Nauna na kaming pumasok ni Marshan sa mansyon nina Lolo dahil magpapark pa sina Yrew. My heart felt heavy when I entered their house at bahagyang kumirot ang sentido ko. 

"Are you okay?" Marshan asked me ng mapansin niya ang namamawis kong kamay na hawak-hawak niya.
