"Anak, everyone left. Let's go?" Det asked her daughter carefully, wishing that Beatriz will finally move.
"No, Ma. I'll stay a bit longer. You and Dad can go ahead. I'll book myself a grab nalang" she faked a smile assuring her mom she'll be fine.
"Uhm. are you sure? Don't you want to stay in the house muna?" Det is really worried to left her alone in her own house.
"I'm fine, Ma. Ingat kayo" she kissed her cheek and hug her dad.
"Okay, Beatriz! Tell us if you got back home safely" Elmer understood the need of his daughter to be alone,
"But" Det is about to say something when Elmer pull her close and whispered "She'll be fine. Let's go" and they walk towards their car.
After she hears the engine of the car moving away, the tears fall down like a hurricane.
"I thought we'll grow old together? Why do you have to leave like that"
and she stayed there until the sun goes down and her eyes couldn't cry more.
