Writer's Comment:
akala nyo ba yung chapter 18 na ang twist?..
wahaha, wag magsalita ng tapos.. ahaha, para naman akong kontrabida sa sinabi ko.. LOL
pero eto kasi yung sinasabi ko.. enjoy! :)



“it‘s been more than 4years, she ran off, but no one can blame her, she was hurt, badly I believe. it‘s my fault, I didn‘t mean to hurt her, she‘s the only girl I love back then .. but now, I‘m falling in love with Nad again, the mother of my beloved daughter .. we aren‘t married yet, we can‘t, we don‘t want to yet, why? simple, we want Cheska‘s forgiveness first .. but how can we get that? if we all knew that she died more than 4years ago. now a glimpse of hope, that‘s she‘s still here with us, I admit, I miss her, a lot. her smile is priceless, her sweetness is incomparable, I don‘t know, maybe I was too needy back then, I should have wait.”

“could it be her? is she alive? this is partly my fault, if I didn‘t asked them back then about the closeness of Nad and Tristan, maybe she didn‘t saw them and ran off, maybe she‘s still here with us, I miss my Bessy. It‘s more than 4years ago since we last saw her.”

“if it‘s really her, I will not let her out of my sight again, not anymore, not another time. if it‘s her, I‘ll show her my love that I didn‘t get a chance to show back then, but .. looking at Matt now, I‘m getting confused again, will I give way for the second time around? hayy”

“Chen, please let it be you, I can‘t bare to see Joyce sad anymore, she never smiled like she used to when you were still here with us, please let it be you, we all miss you, Joyce miss you. I miss you.”

“Che, please forgive me for what I‘ve done more than 4years ago, it‘s my fault, I shouldn‘t have went to Tristan‘s house back then, please be alive, please.”

“I miss you baby bud, come back to us now, we all tried our best to move on, but still there‘s a part in everyone of us that‘s hoping that you‘re alive, that the incident was just an act, please baby bud, I miss your smile, your presence, everything about you. This is all my fault, if it‘s not for that party, things wouldn‘t happen. I‘m sorry”

“come now Cheska Lynn, we all miss you, if it‘s really you, time to return, time to mend our bruised hearts, you‘re the baby sister I wish I could have.”


Jake and Joyce went their separate ways after the graduation, though they still see each other sometimes, Joyce can’t seem to look at Jake’s eyes, he wondered what happened to her, are they still best friends? Only she knows, because he doesn’t even have a clue at all. Her reason was she knows she hurt him, she knows it’s not her fault why he’s suffering, but she’s the reason why he saw her.

Nad and Tristan didn’t talk either, they just zip the mouths to one another. No closure, nothing to confirm their relationship has ended, until the day Tristan saw his daughter, he’s full of emotions seeing his daughter. Then he made up his mind, he won’t let his child grew without a father, he told it to Nad, but Nad can’t accept the marriage he’s offering, she still want Cheska’s forgiveness, he was disappointed, he also wants Cheska’s forgiveness but there’s no hope of seeing her anymore back then. The both felt bad, but still they want to give their child a family, so they agreed on raising her together, in a way.

Ace’s heart also shattered into pieces, he and Tristan love the same girl, he almost killed himself too, if he was fast enough he would have saved the life of the girl he loves, he blamed himself, destiny truly is playful. He lost hope, didn’t want to see anybody. to him, his world collapsed, no more reason to be happy, no more reason to live at all, until the day Nad called him and wanted him to go to the hospital she is in.

Tina and Mike didn’t change at all to each other, but they did to the others, they felt guilt. If it wasn’t for Tina’s invitation and Mike’s b-day party, thing wouldn’t have happened, they blamed their selves. They wanted to talk to others, but all the rest went in different places, no contact to anyone. They thought it was the end of their friendship to them.

Flash back

4years 7months 1week ago

“Chen!” sabay na tawag nila Matt at Ace sa dalaga
wala syang pinansin sa dalawa, tumakbo na lang sya at hindi na lumingon pa
agad humabol sila Ace at Matt nang biglang tumakbo si Cheska
humahagulgol si Cheska habang tumatakbo, hindi nya alam kung san sya pupunta, pero tuloy tuloy lang sya
nag taka ang dalawa dahil bigla na lang nawala sa paningin nila ang dalaga

may binigay na scooter si Sandro sa kapatid nung nag 18 ito
bihira lang gamitin ng dalaga ang scooter, medyo takot kasi syang idrive ito
pero nang araw na yon ay dala nya sa pag-pasok ang naturang motor
kaya mabilis syang nawala sa paningin nila Ace at Matt ay dahil sa motor na yon

ilang oras na syang nag da-drive
hindi naman nya alam kung saan sya pupunta, basta tuloy tuloy lang sya
ilang oras pa at nawalan na sya ng gasolina sa di kilalang lugar
naiyak na naman sya nang maisip ang nangyari, isa pa nasan na sya ngayon
minalas pa sya at na deadbat ang cellphone nya

may isang truck na tila naglalaro ang driver
dahil sa luhang nagpapalabo ng paningin nya, hindi iyon agad napansin ni Cheska
hindi din sya napansin agad ng driver at nahagip nga si Cheska nito habang patawid pa lamang
kinabahan ang driver, iginilid nya lang si Cheska at dali daling pinaharurot ang truck
naiwang duguan si Cheska sa gilid ng daan

halos dalawang oras na din nawawalan ng dugo ang dalaga
hanggang sa isang kotse ang dumaan at nakita sya ng anak ng mag-asawang lulan ng kotse
agad silang tumigil sa kinahihigaan ni Cheska at binuhat ang dalaga
dinala nila ito sa ospital


halos dalawang lingong walang malay ang dalaga
nagising sya habang nakabantay ang buong pamilya na tumulong sa kanya

“hija?” tanong ng ginang
“nauuhaw po ako” sagot nya
inabutan naman sya ng tubig ng isang dalaga

“nak, anong pangalan mo?” tanong ng ginang nang matapos uminom si Cheska
wala na kasi silang nakuhang gamit nito ng tulungan nila
“po? ako po?” tugon ng dalaga at pilit nag isip
“hindi ko po alam kung sino ako, hindi nyo po ba ako kilala?” tugon nya pagkatapos
nagkatinginan ang mag asawa

“hija, tinulungan ka lang namin, hindi namin alam ang pangalan mo” sagot muli ng ginang
tinawag ng anak nila ang doctor
saglit lang ay dumating na din ito

“doc, ano pong nangyari sa kanya? bakit hindi nya po maalala kung sino sya?” tanong ng ama ng pamilya
“this is what I‘m afraid of, well tumama ang ulo nya sa cement at malakas ang impact, which may cause her to have an amnesia, hindi ko lang alam kung kelan babalik ang alaala nya, it may take weeks, months, years, or pwede ding hindi na bumalik ang memory nya. also, we found out that she was depressed, I think, her mind shut down itself, thus causing her to lose her memory and ..” ito na lang ang narinig ni Cheska, nakatulog uli sya

“thank God malakas ang kapit ng bata, kaya hindi sya nakunan” dagdag ng doctor
nagulat ang mag-asawa sa huling narinig
“buntis po sya doc?!” gulat na reaksyon ng mag-asawa
“yes, 2months and three weeks to be exact” sagot nito
wala nang nasabi ang mag-asawa

ganun pa man ay inampon padin sya ng mag-asawa, tutal nag-iisa lang naman ang anak nila


“Mattina” tawag ng ginang
“po mama?” tugon ng dalagang kauuwi lamang
“hinahanap ka na ni Charlynn” sagot nito sa anak
“asan na po sya mama?” tanong naman ng dalaga
“nasa kwarto nyo hija”
“sige po”

pumunta sya sa kwarto

“ate Carol?” tawag ni Mattina nang makita nya ang kapatid sa kwarto
“hinahanap ka na ni Charlynn, umiiyak na kanina” sagot nito sa kapatid at umalis
“salamat ate”
“wala yun, pamangkin ko naman eh” sagot nito sa kapatid

“mommy!” tawag ng bata
“anak, gising ka na pala” tugon nito sa anak

“aray” biglang sumakit ang ulo nya

“bye Joyce, bye Jake. hintayin ko kayo sa Maynila ha? sabay- sabay tayong mag e-enroll”
“ano, pwede ko bang kunin number mo?”
“aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!” sabay takip ng mata at tumalikod
“o halika na Cookie Monster, este Elmo” sabay abot ng kamay sa bata
“miss, ako pala si Ace Limmuel Sto. Tomas, Ace at your service”
“hoy! Impakto! anong sinasabi mo?”

biglang may mga nagpasukang imahe sa isip ni Mattina, pero hindi pa malinaw ang mga ito sa kanya, pawing mga boses ang naririnig nya
sumakit ang ulo nya

“mommy? mommy? okay ka lang po mommy?” alalang tanong ng bata sa kanya
humiga si Mattina sa kama at pumikit, maya maya lang ay nakatulog ito

“Charlynn?” hanap nya sa anak ng magising
halos tatlong oras din syang nakatulog
lumabas sya ng kwarto ng hindi makita ang anak

“mama? si Charlynn po?” hanap nito sa mama nya
“kasama si Arlo, nasa labas” sagot naman nito
“ay, sige po ma, salamat po”

palabas na sana sya nang ..
