(Herminio Jose Alcasid's Point of View)

"Nate, anak?" I called my baby boy.

"Dad?" He cutely replied. Manang-mana ka talaga sa nanay mo.

"Go get the flowers na, let's visit your mom." I said.

"Opo." He rammed around the house. "But where is it nakalagay?"

I chuckled at what he acted. "Nasa grotto." Agad naman siyang kumaripas ng takbo papunta sa sinasabi kong silid. He immediately went out, dala dala na ang bulaklak.

He sat down and let Viceral tie his shoe. Medyo kumulit ito kaya tinabihan ko't sinabihan na wag malikot. His face features really look like her mom, at syempre yung ugali manang-mana sa tatay.

After some seconds, Viceral finished tying and grooming up Nate. "Vice, sabihan mo nalang si Sharon na nauna na kami sa sementeryo." Tumango naman ito at hinawakan ko ang kamay ni Nate.

"Let's go?"

"Mm-hmm!" He cheerfully said.

We hopped into the car and let him sit on the passenger's seat. I fastened his seatbelt just to make sure he's safe and secured. It has been five long years. Pero di pa rin kami nakaka-move on sa mga nangyari. Masakit pa rin para sa parte namin ang mga naganap.

It was a 20 minute drive from the Velasquez's mansion to the cemetery. Wala naman masyadong traffic so we got there early as we were expected to be. Medyo may mga tao na rin sa paligid. We parked our car near the exit ng sementeryo.

Tinanggal ko ang pagkakakabit ng seatbelt kay Nate. "Bring the flowers boo, okay?"

"Yes Dad." He took the flowers na nilagay niya kanina sa likuran at sabay na kaming bumaba ng sasakyan. He held my hand at nagsimula na kaming naglakad.

At last, we found her.

"Hi. It's been five long years, yeah?" I chuckled. "I didn't got the chance to say goodbye to you that time. Hindi ako nakapag-thank you sayo. Hindi ako nakapagsabi ng magagandang bagay sayo. Hindi ko na nagawang makabawi pa sa mga nagawa ko sayo. I just want to thank you for everything. Thank you for clearing up things for me, for us. You did a great favor and you did a very meaningful part in our lives. Nagpapasalamat ako na may isang ikaw na dumating sa buhay ko. Hindi ako nagsisising minahal at inibig kita. Noon, nawala ang respeto ko sayo. But now, not only I respect but salute you. Thank you for everything, Zsazsa. Hinding-hindi ka namin makakalimutan. We will be always and forever thankful for you." Hindi ko namalayang tumulo na pala ang mga luha ko. It won't hurt a guy's ego when he cry, right?

"Herminio Jose, kulang nalang isub-sub mo yang mukha mo sa lapida ah. Mahal mo pa ba yan ha?!" Singhal ng asawa ko. Damn, ang sarap niyang tawaging ganun.

"Hi mommy!!!" Nate ran to her direction.

"Hi booboobear!" Kinarga naman ito ni Regine.

I stood up and gave her a peck on her lips. "I didn't saw you here. San ka ba galing?" I asked her.

"Dad. And mom's." She said, sighing. "If I could just turn back time? I would."

"Wag naman. Baka di mo na ko makilala nun." I pouted. Syempre octopus ako pagdating sa asawa ko. Joke lang.

She laughed. "Stop being so silly love!" She paused and held my hand. "Alam mo, if it's meant to be, it will be."

"Kanta yun e!" Banat ko naman sa kanya.
