Ilang buwan ang hinintay nila Sage at Ava pagkatapos nilang mag file ng adoption for baby Sabrina.
Umagang umaga ay may dumating sulat galing sa korte. Kinakabahan si Ava at Sage na buksan ang sulat. Kinuha ni Arriette ang papel at siya na ang nagbukas.
Magkahawak kamay si Safe at Ava habang nakatinfin kay Arriette. Tumanggo sila bilang go signal na basahin na niya ito.
Nandoon din si Ofelia at mamita. Na nanonood habang nakaupo s acouch at sumisimsim ng tea.
Habang binabasa ni Arriette ay kabadong kabado sila. Hanggang sa susunod ay bumagal ang pagbabasa nito.
"I hereby grant legal adoption of Sabrina and the use of your family name. Congratulation Mr and Mrs. Mariano"
Napa tili si Ofelia sa narinig at nagyakapan ang mag-ina. Niyakap ni Ava si Sage ng mahigpit at umiiyak. Hindi makapaniwala si Sage na niyakap din si Ava.
"wait, there's more." ani Arriette
Huminto sila at tumingin sa kanya
"May pirma si Jessica, nakasaad dito na inaallow niya kayo na maging full guardian ni baby Sabrina" ani Arriette
Nagkatinginan sila Sage at Ava, pinunasan ni Sage ang basang pusngi nito. At hinalikan sa noo.
(Sage-Ava)
Sumadya si Sage sa mansion ng mga Alfaro, gusto niya makita at makausap si Jessica.
Nasa garden siya nakaupo habang hinihintay si Jessica. Naka ilang buntong hininga ito at tinatap ang tuhod niya ng mga dali niya.
"Looking for me?" ani Jessica ng makalapit sa kanya.
Nagulat si Sage na hindi man lang niya naramdaman ang paglapit nito sa kanya.
Umupo ito sa katapatang upuan.
"I am here to say thank you for letting us to adopt Sabrina as our own" direktang pahayag ni Sage
"I did signed it because I know you are both perfect to be her parents, I am her mother but I can't do it, I am not yet ready for the responsibility that God given to me." ani Jessica
Natahimik si Sage
"I had a bad experienced of my first boyfriend, noong nawala ako bigla that's because of him. He kidnapped me at ikinulong sa kanyang bahay noong nalaman niya kung nasaan ako, yun yung handa na akong magpakasal sayo, pinuntahan niya ako sa bahay at pinagbantaan. May be you are wondering kung sino ba talaga ang tunay na daddy ni Sabrina. I had to lie becauae I don't want him to be remembered anymore, I had left her in front of your car because I know you can take care of her better than I do and my decision never failed me. Hindi man ako naging ina sa kanya, nabigyan naman siya sa mga taong magpupuno sa kakulang ko. Ava is way better than I expected. Akala ko noong una, she was a gold digger who only wants money but I was wrong. She loves my daughter as her own, I saw it of my pair lenses." huminto ito saglit at yumuko, bumuntong hininga ito at bumaling ang tingin kay Sage. " Yung daddy ni Sabrina ay si Lazaro Mendez, ang taong napatay ko dahil sa kawalang hiyaan niya. I met him you and Lucas. We've been together for a long time. Until he changed I didnt know what happened why he sudden changed, binubogbog niya ako, he put chains in my both wrest. I was his sex slave for a months while I was there. He used me everytime he want. I was more than an animal than I no longer see myself as a woman. I no longer see life as beautiful as it is. I lost my self from who I am. I was hopeless, I can't shout for help because of the knife ready to attack me anytime. Nang makakuha ako ng syempo, I called for help. Someone entered the small room and unchain me. Sa pintuan pa lang nakarinig ako ng putok ng baril. The man who saved me was shot and died. Nakita ko siyang duguan at walang buhay. He pointed the gun through my headand warned me not to move. I had enough of him. I fought, nag agawan kami sa baril until I accidentally push the trigger and shot him. Tumama iyon sa kanyang puso, natakot ako hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko, I need to escape, I ran Faster as I could. Napadpad ako sa isang malaking bahay, doon ay natulog ako sa labas ng pintuan. Someone from the inside pitied me, pinatuloy niya ako sa kanyang bahay hanggang sa maging okay ako. I am ready to leave pero biglang sumakit ang sikmura ko, nalaman ko na buntis pala ako, bumagsak ang mundo ko dahil ang akala kung okay na ako ay hindi pala, all of the bad memories of him is like yesterday, all went flashing into my memory. I lost control hanggang sinasaktan ko na sarili ko. I cried every night because of my life, my mom didn't came to rescued me. She was gone by the wind. I don't know where she was and I have no idea how or where to find her. I Gave birth to Sabrina but I refused to look or even see her. Dahil siya ang bunga ng kababoyan sa akin ni Lazaro. I pitied myself, I was there in your wedding day,I envy her a lot dahil siya ang kasama mo at hindi ako, na siya ang sinabihan mo ng I do at hindi ako. Nawalan ako ng pag-asa. You are the only hope I have pero nawala pa, I begin to rise my anger toward her na nagsimulan ng paghihiganti ko. And to tell you honestly, I used Porter to daped her gusto ko mardaman niya ang naramdaan ko because I learnt that Porter is in love with Ava. I used his weakness that fall in my trap." paliwanag ni Jessica
Tahimik lang si Sage na nakikinig. Hindi galit ang nardaman niya kundi awa.
"Im sorry for all I've caused you. Forgivenes doesn't deserves me I know but stil I want you to know na pinqgsisisihan ko ma lahat ng mga nagawa ko. May be words is not enough but deep in my heart I am really really sorry." ani Jessica na pinunasan ang mga luhang kanina pa dumadaloy sa kanyang mga mata.
"You deserves to forgive. Tao lang nagkamali, oo malaki man ang pinsalang nagawa mo but you recognized your fault." ani Sage
Mas lalong naiyak si Jessica ng marinig iyon mula kay Sage. Lumapit siya at niyakap niya ito. "Everything will be fine. Ang mahalaga ngayon ay nagkakaayos na lahat. Don't stress yoyrself so much and be healthy, kahit kami ma ngayin ang legal guardian ni Sabrina, ikaw pa rin ang mommy niya. " dag dag pa ni Sage
