"Antonio look at my baby" Claudette said as she looks at the baby she's carrying.
"kamukhang kamukha ko sya diba mommy?" Antonio asked
"oo sobra Antonio" Nakangiting saad nit
They are both looking at the baby who's sleeping soundly. They both smiled when the baby smiled
"Uhm Mrs. Valdez. I need to get the baby kailangan nya po na maibalik sa nursery. Saka po dadating na po yung isa ponh nurse to get the baby's name."
"please take care of my daughter. " the nurse nodded and took the baby.

Claudette is sleeping while Antonio looking at his wife. Wala na sigurong mas sasaya pa na buo na ang kanilang pamilya.
He was smiling when Claudette's nurse is hastily running towards their room.
"what happened!" he asked.
"Sir. Your daughter is missing."
"what happened Antonio!" Claudette exaggeratedly asked.
"calm down darling"
"Paano Antonio! Nawawala ang anak ko." Claudette said and her tears started tp fall down.
"im very sorry ma'am and sir" The nurse said and claudette just continued on crying.

"Your daughter was abducted unitentionally Sir. The person na pinagtanungan ko about you daughter said na he is related to the suspect. The suspect was about to get abduct someone's child pero yung anak nya ang nakuha nyo. At napagalaman ko din po na itinapon sa basurahan ang anak nyo sa takot ng dumukot dito." Halos mapagsakluban ng Langit at Lupa si Antonio.
"Please take actions on finding my daughter. Mababaliw na ako" Antonio said at niyakap naman sya ni Claudette.
They both expressed their sorrow about their missing child. Weeks, Months, and Years had passed but still they didn't found their missing daughter.
After twelve years of finding their daughter, Claudette suffered a cardiac arrest which led to her death. It was hard for Antonio. A missing daughter and a deceased wife.

"I'm sorry please forgive me" Antonio said
"wala pong may gustong mangyari nun Dad. I was just sad because i didnt have any chance of meeting my mother. Pero Dad God has a plan. Masaya padin po ako Dad. You are here with me." Alyssa sincerely said.
"Ikaw talaga. Mahal kita anak."
"Salamat po."
"Alam mo ba i was about to name you Alyssandra. Tapos nagtuma sa choice ni Nina." her dad laughed.
"sobrang thankful din po ako kay Inay. Sinacrifice nya po lahat para lang makarating ako sa lugar ko ngayon."
"kaya nga thankful ako kay Nina."
"nga pala anak. Our flight will be on Tuesday. Ihanda mo na ang mga gamit mo. It was five months nung nakarecover ka."
"kaya nga po. Daan po ako bukas sa Target Dad para sa pasalubong kina Kim and sa lahat po ng naging mabuti saakin sa Sumulong."
"Sure anak..but how about Dennise?"
Alyssa just chuckled and smiled.
"Masaya na po yun ngayon. Masaya na din po ako para sa kanya." Aly said.
"pakabait mo talaga" nagapir naman agad ang dalawa.

Dennise pulled over her car as she found herself standing in front of Aly's house. Walang tao dito because it is visibly dark inside.
Hindi nya alam kung bakit may tumutulong luha padin sa mga mata nya. She was hurt. Her Dad manipulated her kahit alam naman nya sa sarili nya kung gaano sya napapasaya ni Alyssa. It was her Dad's selfishness and her cowardness
"Hello miss. May hinahanap ka?" a man asked.
She wiped her tears and shifted her gaze to the man beside her.
"uhm. Dito padin po ba nakatira si Alyssa Caymo?" Den asked.
"Hindi na nga sila umuwi dyan mula nung naoperahan ang inay nya. Sa pagkakarinig ko. Naaksidente daw si Alyssa. " and this time naalala nya ang aksidente na tinutuko y kanina sa family dinner nila.
"ano po ba ang nangyari sa kanya?"
"ay nako yan ang hindi ko alam. "
Nadisappont naman si Dennise sa narinxig nya. She wants to know kung anong nangyari kay Alyssa and sa kagagahan nyang hindi nya ito pinuntahan.
"salamat po." akmang aalis na ang lalaki ng bumalik ito ulit.
"kung gusto mo ay puntahan mo nalang ang kaibigan nya. Nandyan lang oh." tinuro naman ng lalaki ang bahay nila Kim.
"Salamat po." agad agad na pumunta si Dennise sa bahay na itinuro nito.
Agad syang kumatok dito umaasa na may sasagot sa lahat ng katanungan na bumabagabag sa kanya.
