Amelia Isabella's POV
Habang naghahanap kay ina rito sa bayan ay hindi ko maiwasang makaramdam ng pagod, kung saan-saan na ako nagtanong at kahit anong deskripsyon ang ibigay ko ay wala raw silang alam.
Maging ang mga kakilala rito ni ina ay hindi raw siya nakita at nag-alala rin raw ang mga ito, ang ipinagtataka ko lamang ay kung naaalala niya pa ba kami dahil noong araw na nawala siya ay hindi niya raw kami kilala.
Nakausap ko kanina si Guido at nakakuwentuhan rin na maaaring dinapuan si ina ng matinding karamdaman. Ayon sa kaniya ang sakit na iyon ay tinatawag na Alzheimer's disease. Bihira na lamang raw ang mga gumagaling roon at sa paglipas ng panahon ay tuluyan na raw ang pagkawala ng mga alaala ng taong tinamaan ng sakit na iyon.
Habang kausap ko kanina si Guido, tila balisa siya at wala sa sarili, sunod-sunod ang pagpapakawala niya ng mga buntong hininga kaya't may parte sa aking kaloob-looban na may dinaramdam siya. Kung ano man iyon ay hindi niya raw maaaring sabihin sa akin.
Sinabi niya rin sa akin kanina na magkita raw kami bukas bandang alas-sais ng gabi sa tapat ng teatro, tinanong ko siya kung bakit ngunit ang tanging sinabi niya lamang ay may pupuntahan raw kami. Sa totoo lang, matagal ko nang kaibigan si Guido kaya't kahit kinakabahan ako sa sinabi niya kanina at nararamdaman kong may mangyayaring hindi maganda ay pupunta pa rin ako dahil may tiwala naman ako sa kaniya.
Palakad-lakad lang ako rito nang may bumangga sa aking isang babae, payat siya at hanggang balikat lamang ang buhok nito, muli akong nakararamdam ng matinding kaba nang magtama ang mga mata namij kasabay ng paglabas ng puting hangin sa kaniyang mga mata patungo sa akin.
Isa siyang mahirap na tao na nagtatanghal sa teatro, malalaswa ang mga tinatanghal roon at isa na siya roon. Ginagawa niya ito dahil bukod sa pang-tustos sa araw-araw na pangangailangan para sa pamilya ay tinakot rin siyang papatayin ang kaniyang pamilya sa oras na siya'y umalis.
