Lexine's POV
"Tita Lexine, that's the story of tita Jia? Where is she now?" Tanong ni Calex, anak ni Cassy at Alexander. I smiled at him before answering. "She's in better place now, Calex."
It's been five years simula nangyari yon. Hindi namin ineexpect na may dinadala siyang ganon. Hindi namin alam, para kaming nabuhusan ng madaming realisasyon dahil sa nangyaring yon. I smiled when I remember her last moments with us. She's too strong and secretive. Hindi man lang namin siya naalagaan.
"Lexineeeee!" Rinig kong sigaw ni Cassy. Napalingon ako sakanya, kahit kailan talaga nakapa-megaphone ng babaeng 'to. "Hi, baby" bati niya sa anak nitong si Calex bago bumeso saakin. We're planning to visit her, I mean Jia.
"Where's Jandex?" Tanong nito saakin. Jandex is my three year old son, anak namin ni Anthony. "Kasama ni Anton." Ngiting sagot ko. Napansin ko naman si Calex na inaabot si Cassy, agad namang tumalima si Cassy sa anak niya. "Yes, anak?" Sabi ni Cas, bago buhatin si Calex. "Mommy, tita Lexine told me the story of tita Jia and tito Jayce. But where's tita Jia?" Bakas ang pagtataka sa mata ng bata. Tumingin sakin si Cassy at ngumiti. "Baby, your tita Jia is in better place na. We only have a memories with her, but it's the best." Cassy, smiled.
Flashback...
"JIAAAA!" Rinig namin ang sigaw ni Jayce mula sa kwarto ni Jia. Agad kaming tumakbo papunta doon. Naabutan namin si Jayce, tila ginigising si Jia. I saw Jia, nakahiga sa sahig. She looks like lifeless.
"Jiannah, wake up." Pagsusumamo ni Jayce. But Jia didn't even move. "Call an ambulance please." Baling ni Jayce saamin. Hindi ako makagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko. For once, I didn't saw Jia like this. "Please! Alex, call an ambulance!" Sigaw ni Jayce. Agad namang tumalima si Alex sa sinabi ni Jayce.
"Jia" mahinang bulong ni Cassy sa tabi ko. After a few minutes, dumating na ang ambulance at kinuha nila si Jia. Sumunod kami, tinatahan ako ni Anton. "Everything will be alright." Bulong niya saakin. Iyak lang ako ng iyak. Nang makarating kami sa hospital agad pinasok si Jia sa E.R.
"Are you Lexine?" Tanong saakin ng isang doctor na titingin kay Jia. Tumango ako bilang sagot, she smiled at me. "Call Jia's mom." She said bago siya umalis at pumasok sa E.R. I need to tell tita. "Kaya mo Lex? Gusto mo ako na lang tumawag kay Tita?" Hikbing sabi ni Cassy. Ngumiti ako sakanya at nilabas ang phone ko. Inalalayan ako ni Anton, paupo habang tinatawagan ko si tita.
"Tita." Mahinang sabi ko. Bumuga ako ng hangin, isang malalim na paghinga bago ako sumagot ulit kay tita. "May problema ba? Lex?" Tanong niya. "Tita, it's Jia. Andito po kami sa hospital." Sabi ko. Narinig kong may bumagsak pero agad ding nakabawi si tita. "Which hospital? Does the doctor asked to call me?" Sunod-sunod na tanong niya. I only said, yes and she ended the call.
"Ano sabi ni tita, Lex?" Tanong ni Cassy. "Papunta na siya dito." Mahinang sagot ko. Tinignan ko si Jayce, he looks shock at bakit nandito pa rin siya? Bago ko pa man siya maatake ng mga salita, naunahan na ako ni Alex magtanong.
"Bro, what happen?" Nag-aalalang sabi niya. Tinignan lang siya ni Jayce, umiiyak siya. Bakit siya umiiyak! Wala siyang karapatang umiyak! After he lied to Jia, iiyak-iyak siya?!
"She told me things. I'm sorry, I lied to her. I told her that I can't be with her because Katarina's pregnant with our child. She broke down, and then she collapsed." Umiiyak na sabi niya sa gitna ng katahimikan namin. Mas lalo akong naiyak sa sinabi niya. I know Jia doesn't want to trust any man after she learned that Tito Axcel cheated on her mom. But she put her trust on Jayce, but Jayce lied to her. I know she's crying her heart at night. I can hear it, and Cassy can hear it too. But we didn't tell her, we waited for her to tell us.
