"Doc! Doc!! She's awake!!" dahan dahan minulat ni Kaori ang mata niya..

Her eyes are so cold..

"Brienne, you're awake! You okay?" lumapit ang Mommy nya sa kanya habang patuloy sa pagpindot ng nurse call button..

Hindi kumikibo si Kaori at nakatulala lang. Ilang saglit pa ay nagdatingan ang mga nurse at doctor..

Binigyan daan ng Mommy nya ang mga ito para ma-check siya.. Chineck nila ang mata nito..

"Can you hear us?" hindi nagsalita si Kaori at nanatiling nakatulala lang..
Napansin na lang nila ang pag-agos ng luha nito sa kanyang mga mata.

"Do you feel pain!?" tanong ng doctor sa kanya pero pumikit lang ito..

"Doc, all her vital signs are okay." tumango ang doctor sa isang nurse at humarap sa Mommy ni Kaori..

"I saw a stress cardiomyopathy sign to her but we still need to examine her to be sure.."

"Doc, ano pong ibig sabihin nun?" lumuluhang tanong ng Mommy ni Kaori..

"I'll explain it in layman's term. She experience a heart attack because of being heart broken.. Does she encountered break up recently or someone close to her died?" hindi nakasagot ang Mommy ni Kaori dito.. Nilingon nya lang ang anak na nakatulala sa pagpatak ng likido sa dextrose..

"I'll advice to accompany her.. I'll go ahead." paalam ng doctor at lumabas na..

Lumapit siya dito at naupo sa tabi..

"Brienne.." mahinang tawag nya dito "Anong nangyari sayo?"

"Why didn't I just die?" hindi natinging pahayag nito

"Brienne.. Don't say that! Mommy is here.. Magiging maayos din ang lahat." buntong hininga lang ang sinagot nito..

"Brienne.." maingat na tawag nya dito habang hinihimas ang kamay "Ano ba talaga nangyari sayo?"

"I saw her walking away from me.. And it pierce my heart. As of that moment i thought i died. There's an unbearable pain in my heart... Then everything went black"

"Dahil ba sa kanya kaya ka nagkakaganito?"

"She's the reason why i am breathing up until now. I was died long time ago and felt alive again when i met her.." she paused for a moment "Then buried alive three months ago."

"M-Mahal mo ba talaga siya?" nag-aalangang tanong ng Mommy niya.

"I don't even exactly know what is love.. Ito ba yung feeling na comfortable ka kapag kasama mo siya? You can share any story to her.. Or when you are contented being with her without doing anything? And your heart being flattered in every word she say?... Like your heart palpitating when she's around? That you can't look away to her as if there's heavy magnetic force pulling you?... Or is it when after the exhausting day, gusto mo siyang makasama dahil it made you feel at ease and bring back all the energy loss.. She's the person you always want to hear and see? That you can't last a day without her?" tinitigan siya sa mata ng kanyang ina.."Mom, i felt that to her. Everything, and more."

Muling napaiyak ang ina sa sinabi niya..

"She's my home. She show me how to be loved and teach me how to love." tumango ng marahan sa kanya ang ina.

"G-gusto mo ba siya makita? Hindi ko sasabihin sa Daddy mo.."

"Para saan pa? I will just hurt her more.. Besides she hates me. She don't want to see me." puno ng pighati na saad nito..

"Kung mahal mo talaga siya bakit ka pumayag?" Kaori scoffed

"You and Dad left me with no choice but to say yes.." her mom lips parted
