Jayce's P.O.V

I am currently here, in the cemetery. Ilang beses na ba akong nagpapabalik-balik dito? I was here before, the same place where she decided to rest. I was left, alone again. I sighed and remembered what happened a year ago.

"J-Jayce..." I heard Jinel's voice on the other line. They followed Maureen to the hospital, she's not in the right mind to drive a car.

"What happened?" I asked her while I am busy signing papers. I surrendered Mika to the nearest police station. But I guess, she won't be staying her, instead in the mental facility.

"W-we're here in the hospital. Maureen got involve in an accident." I can hear crying voices. No, not again please. Why do I need to feel this again? The same feeling when Jiannah left? Why now when Eirine needed the both of us?

I ended the call and talk to the police officer. Nathan is with me, maybe he also knew the news about Maureen. I told the police officer that our lawyer will just come any moment, I really need to see Maureen and Eirine.

We reached the hospital, all of our friends are outside the operating room. I saw my son, Lucian crying. Nilapitan ko siya at niyakap, "Everything will be okay." I whispered.

I was too closed from breaking down that time. I was to closed yet I decided not to break down because my son needed me. I pushed my tears away, I touched her name in the tomb. I trace the letters, Jiannah Ford. I smiled, I was like a kid asking for guidance.

"Jia, I felt so sad. I lost my stars again. Can you tell them to comeback as early as they can?" I asked while tracing the letters of her name. Malakas na simoy ng hangin ang sumagot sa tanong ko, natawa ako sa sarili ko. Hindi naman sasagot si Jia, Jayce, mukha kang tanga paalala ko sa sarili ko.

I remembered my conversation with Lexine before, she was asking me if I am sure about courting Maureen. I smiled when I remember my answer to her. "I do still love Jia, but I am willing to give my heart a chance to love again. That's what she want, and I am willing to fullfil it."

My love for Jia will always be untold, our love story was remained in our heart. We did not end up together maybe because I am really destined with Maureen but she's gone....

"Gago ka pare! Huwag mo naman gawin kay Maureen yang ganyan!" Galit na sermon sa akin ni Anton.

Umiling ako ininom ang alak na kanina ko pa tinutungga. Last night, Maureen and I made love. I admit it, I do love her. I already learned how to love her. Pero natatakot ako na baka iwan niya ako, na baka masaktan ako at malugmok ulit. Everything seems alright and I hate the feeling. Not until Maureen learned about it because of her cousin, Jinel. Muntik pang mawala ang kambal dahil sa kagagawan ko.

When I learned that she's pregnant, I am the luckiest guy on earth. But when her parents decided to let her leave the country. Dahil sa kasalanan ko, dahil sa kagagawan ko para akong nabuhusan ng malamig na tubig. I lost her for the first time, I lost them for the first time. I tried visiting her in NYC, hindi ako makalapit. Dahil na rin banta sarado siya ng pinsan niya. Alam nilang lahat na pabalik-balik ako sa NYC, I am also contacting Maureen through her social media accounts. But I got no response so I stop what I am doing and waited for her to comeback.

I was busy doing some paperworks when Nathan suddenly barged in my office. "Pre, sekreto lang natin ha? Uuwi na mag-iina mo sa makalawa."

Mag-iina? Does she found someone new at nagkaroon ng anak sa iba? Well, willing naman akong panagutan ang isa niya pang anak kahit hindi sa akin. "Bawiin mo na agad ah! Siraulo ka, bumawi ka agad sa kambal ko." Natatawang ani sa akin ni Lexine ng minsang nagsama-sama kaming magkakaibigan.
