ALDER'S POV

"Tita ako na po muna ang magbabantay, you can go home and take a rest for a while po," agaw pansin ko kay Tita Euzil. Ngumiti siya sa akin and the way she smiles resembles the smile of my baby. She looks like Yrra when she smiles and cries, it makes my heart sank looking at her.

"I want to tell you something hijo. I've been regretting things through these years," she lowly said. Tumango naman ako at umupo sa tabi niyang upuan. I stare at my baby with a bandage on her head and a tube in her mouth.

My heart hurt so bad looking at her i  her weakest and unconscious state. I felt weak knowing her sacrifices for us. She's been selfless.

"I've been a bad mother to her, Alder. Nung pinagbubuntis ko sila ng kambal n'ya, I felt happy knowing I have a twin, mas lalo akong sumaya ng pinaganak ko sila. She was born first and she didn't even cry when she was out of my womb unlike her brother," pagku-kwento niya. Nakatitig lang ako kay Yrra at ngumiti.

She's been strong from the very beginning.

Ano kayang hitsura niya noong bata siya?

She's cute. I bet.

"Habang lumalaki sila, we found out that Kyrro had a heart disease kaya lahat ng atensyon ay napunta sa kanya. Hindi dapat s'ya nakakaramdam ng sobrang emosyon dahil makakasama sa kanya so we are so hands-on to him that we forgot our princess. She never complained. All she has to do is to understand us," she said pertaining to Yrra. Hinahaplos ng n'ya ang pisngi ni Yrra.

My smile faded in an instant feeling how painful it was for Yrra. That I'm slowly realising things now. All the words she have been said to me. Lahat iyon may tinatagong dahilan.

"I got blinded by my love to her twin that I never cared for her. I ignored her. Sa rami ng nagawa ko, hindi ko alam kung mapapatawad niya pa ako... kami," she said tearing up. Hearing these things coming from her makes me realize a lot of things.

I did to. I ignored Yrra's feelings.

Parang bumalik lahat ng nangyari sa gabing iyon. She got shot in different part of her body.

Para akong mamamatay. She even had the guts to smile on us even though it's already a life and death situation.

Pinapahiwatig niya pa ring okay lang ang lahat.

"I declined everything she wants. The discrimination that we inflicted on her got her bad and we were so guilty about it. So much,"

I feel so bad too. Behind her rough attitude lies the very sad reasons.

Everyone have a point of view and we chose not to listen on her view. We got blinded by her rough attitude.

"Lahat kami, we never paid attention to her wants. The changes in her is because of us. We always point our fingers on her and she suffered alone,"

She does. She always does. Lahat ng naririnig ko ngayong rason ay nagpapadurog sa akin ng sobra. Para akong mamamatay dahil sa kirot ng pagtibok ng puso ko.

I'm hurting for her. So bad that I breathed so hard.

"Especially her Dad, she's always in trouble when her father notice her mistakes and he always gave a case to do. Hindi ko man lang siya magawang ipagtanggol dahil ako mismo ay gustong ipagawa 'yon. That's why I regret being so hard on her,"

Napatungo ako sa kanyang sinabi. The side of my eyes are getting misty and any moment from now, alam kong tutulo na ang mga iyon ng kusa. And I remember how I said a lot of rough and painful words to her.

Nagkulang din ako.

"I tried my best to approached her but she just pushed me away saying that she doesn't need me because she said, Kyrro will always need me more... she's so selfless. Sobra,"
