Iris POV

It's been five day's since Ashley rush to the hospital because of her heart, the doctor says that she really need heart transplant as soon as possible...

"Just hold on baby"sabi ni Tita habang hawak kamay ni Ashley, nakaoxygen na kasi siya

"Hmm..."

"Shh... don't talk baby shh...."sabi ni Tita, hindi kasi siya pwedeng magsalita

*Ring!* *ring!*

kinuha ko naman cellphone ko at sinagot and tawag

"Iris I just wanted to ask, It's been five days I didn't saw Ashley? Kasama mo ba siya?"tanong ni Tan, I just look at my cousong while crying...

"A-ahm... a-ahm... S-she's fine, and yeah... she's with me b-but we're here at Scotland right now..."sabi ko habang pinipigilang umiyak, di dapat nila malaman...

"Oh... Kailan kayo babalik? I really miss her"sabi niya kinagat ko nalang labi ko para pigilan ang mapaiyak

"Maybe soon... Di ko pa alam eh"sabi ko at pinunasan ko luha ko

"Alright, tell her that I love her and I miss her"sabi ni Tan ngumiti naman ako

"Yeah sure... tsaka pakisabi na din kina kuya Jem na we miss them too"sabi ko at pinatay na ang tawag tsaka lumapit kay Ashley

"Cous pagaling ka ah? Tan misses you so much and he loves you so much pinapasabi niya yan sa akin kanina"sabi ko at pinunasan luha ko tsaka ngumiti at hinaplos buhok niya one week na kami nandito mabuti nalang at napakiusapan nina mommy sina prof na bigyan nalang kami ng module for this year pero papasok pa rin naman kami sa school but pagganito na situation di namin iniiwan si Ashley

"Be brave cous"sabi ko at hinalikan siya sa pisngi, I remembered how Mom shouted at tita Avery last week because of my cousins condition, ayaw pa muna sana kasing pumunta ni Tita dito because she had a business but Mom deal with her that if she won't come with us, ilalayo niya si Ashley at di na makikita ni Tita...

*flashback*

"Avery your daughter needs you right now!"sigaw ni mommy

"Cous please ikaw muna bahala sa kanya this is really impo---"

"Choose! That fucking business trip of yours or your daughter! I swear Avery! Ilalayo ko ang pamangkin ko sayo"sabi ni Mommy kaya napalingon naman sa kanya si Tita galit na galit

"What did you just say?! ilalayo ang anak ko? Are you the hell out of your mind Kim! She's my daughter! She's mine! And then ilalayo mo siya?! you're  just her aunt!"sigaw ni Tita at ibinaba ang lahat ng gamit niya

"Yeah I'm just her Aunt but you know mas kilala ko pa ang anak mo! everytime she has a problem sinasabi niya sa akin, because you and Sam didn't even bother to give her attention! Kung alam mo lang ang pinagdadaanan ng anak mo Avery! kung alam mo lang! everytime we rushed her to the hospital she always says that, If the time come will God take me with him I'll go with him, if I disappear hahanapin ba ako nina Mommy? She keeps saying that words and it hurt me-us a lot Avery! Since she was 3 years old kami na ang tumayo sa tabi niya because everytime there's a event in there school I always be there because her own parent can't give any attention to her! Now! If you choose that business trip of yours! h'wag mo ng aasahang nasa bahay niyo pa si Lallaina!"sabi ni Mom

"My daughter will understand me I know she will"sabi ni Tita at sinimulan ng pulutin gamit niya

"For the sake of your daughter Avery!! nag-aagaw buhay na ang anak mo! and you still choose that business trip?! That business trip can wait Avery! yung anak mo naman! she needs her Mom! her real mom! her mom who gave birth on her! Choose her for once Avery! Choose her! Kailan ba kayo magigising ni Samuele?! Kapag namatay na ang anak niyo?! ha Avery?! Kapag na matay na ba si Ashley doon lang ba kayo magigising?! Wake up!!! it's your daughter!! For the past sixteen years in her life ngayon niya kayo sobrang kailangan!!"galit na galit na sigaw ni mom at nasira niya pa yung table sa galit
