⚠️❗TW❗⚠️
Nag-uunahan na sa pag-agos ang mga luha ni Regina, ganun din si Ding at ang lola nito. Kahit pa medyo pinagseselosan ni Regina si Leslie ay tinawagan nya parin ito dahil kaibigan ito ni Narda.
Si Regina ay nasa ambulansya, hinawakan nya ang kamay ni Narda.
"Narda, don't leave me please. I love you." Humahagulgol na sabi ni Regina.
Pagdating sa hospital ay dinala agad si Narda sa ER o tinatawag na Emergency Room.
Hindi parin mapigilan ni Regina ang mga luhang umaagos sa kanyang mukha. Makalipas ang ilang minuto ay dumating si Leslie.
"Regina! Kamusta si Narda? Anong nangyari? Kamusta ka?"
"Leslie." Napayakap naman si Regina kay Leslie na ikinagulat nito, pero yumakap parin ito pabalik.
Tinapik-tapik ni Leslie ang likod ni Regina. "Magiging ayos din si Narda."
"I can't live without her."
Hindi na nagsalita si Leslie at niyakap nalang nya ito at hinayaang umiyak si Regina.
Maya maya pa ay dumating na sila Ding kasama ang kambal, at pagdating nila ay lumabas narin ang doctor.
"Sino ho ang pamilya dito ni Ms. Custodio?"
Pinili ni Ding na sya nalang ang kumausap sa doctor dahil baka may mangyari pa sa lola nila.
"Ako po, kapatid nya po ako."
Huminga ng malalim ang doctor at tinignan sila ng seryoso. "I am very sorry but your sister has passed."
Nanghina ang mga tuhod ni Regina at parang lahat ng pwedeng maramdamang sakit ay nararamdaman nya na ngayon.
"She was shot straight to her heart and it's the reason why it stopped beating. I'm so sorry for your loss."
Pag-alis ng doctor ay pinuntahan nila ang katawan ni Narda. Pinauna muna ni Regina ang lola ni Narda, sunod ay si Leslie, habang si Ding at Carmela naman ang kumocomfort sa kanila.
"Apo ko, bakit mo iniwan si Lola agad agad? Mahal na mahal kita, apo ko." Umiiyak na sabi ng lola niya at hinalikan ang noo nito.
Sunod ay si Leslie. "Narda naman eh. Akala ko mag-iinom pa tayo, akala ko imimeet mo yung crush ko? Akala ko di mo ako iiwan? Bakla ano ba! Kakainis ka naman eh, pinapaiyak moko oh. Mamiss ko yung lahat lahat sayo kahit pa bukang bibig mo si Regina. Pero okay lang yun kase, Narda, mahal kita bilang isang matalik na kaibigan ko. Paano na yan? Wala ka na, iniwan mo na ako, wala na akong kasama. Parang baliw kasi eh."

Ang huli ay si Regina at ang kambal. Binuhat ni Regina si Maxine at Florence habang sila ay papalapit sa katawan ni Narda.
"Dada!" Masayang pag-tawag ni Maxine kay Narda.
Unti-unting tumulo ang luha nila Carmela, Regina at Ding.
"Dada!" Masayang tawag rin ni Florence.
Nang sila ay makalapit na, ngumiti si Maxine dito.
"Dada! To to?" Sabi ni Maxine at tinuro ang tyan nya kung saan hinipan ni Narda kanina nang patunugin nito ang tyan nya.
"Dada!" Irit ni Maxine at pilit na ginigising si Narda.
Nang hindi magising si Narda ay bumaba ito at tumalon talon sabay tawag kay Narda.
"Dada?" Tanong ni Maxine kay Ding.
"Max." Umiiyak na sabi ni Ding at binuhat si Maxine kung paano ito buhatin ni Narda.
"Dada!" Malakas na tawag ni Florence pero nang hindi sya pansinin ay malungkot nitong ipinatong ang ulo nya sa balikat ni Regina.
Tuloy tuloy lang sa pag-agos ang luha ni Regina dahil para sa kanya, wala nang mas sasakit pa sa nararamdaman nya ngayon.
Kinuha naman ni Carmela si Florence at umalis na ang dalawa.
Dito na inilabas ni Regina ang kanyang sakit na nararamdaman.
"Narda, when we started our 3 days date, that's also the start of your bilin."
"First is you want me to take care. You want me to take care because you won't be here to protect me anymore."
"Wag magpapalipas ng gutom, you are not here to buy me foods anymore. You won't be here to stare at me while we're eating."
Pinunasan muna ni Regina ang kanyang mga luha.
"Ingatan mo ang sarili mo, you really love me huh? I love you too, but you didn't have the chance to hear it because this happened."
"And the last one, enjoy kayo dyan kahit wala ako sa tabi nyo. Narda, it's hard. You're our source of happiness, I can't do it without you. But I know you will be sad if I won't so I will try, Narda."
Hinawakan ni Regina ang malamig na mukha ni Narda. "I love you, I'm sorry if I'm too late. You didn't fully experienced what it feels when someone loves you too."
"Narda, you don't deserve this. I will find that person who killed you."
Pinunasan ni Regina ang kanyang mga luha at tinakpan na ng tela ang mukha ni Narda.

Kinabukasan ay dumating na ang mga labi ni Narda sa bahay ng lola nito at doon ay marami ang nakiramay.
Kalat na sa internet ang nangyari na ikinalungkot ng mga fans nito. Si Regina naman ay nakikipagtulungan sa police at patuloy na hinahanap kung sino ang nakabaril.
Ilang araw ang nakalipas at isang araw bago ang libing ni Narda ay may umamin na sa police station.
Nang malaman ito ni Regina ay agad nyang tinawag si Leslie para samahan sya nito.
"Kung sino mang gumawa nito kay Narda ay makukulong habang buhay." Galit na sabi ni Regina.
Nang makadating sila sa police station ay nanlaki ang mata ni Regina nang makita ang driver nito na si Jerson.
"Kuya Jerson? Ano hong ginagawa nyo rito?" Takang tanong ni Regina.
Umiiyak namang tiningnan ni Jerson si Regina.
"Pasensya na, ma'am Regina. Napag-utusan lang po ako."
"What do you mean?"
Tumingin sya kay Ding at Regina. "Bukod sa pagiging driver ni ma'am Narda ay may isa pa akong trabaho. Tuwing sabado at linggo po ang trabaho ko na yun, yung boss ko po dun ang nagutos na barilin yung babaeng nakatira sa ibinigay nyang address sa akin. Ayoko po yun gawin, pero ang sabi ng boss ko ay bibigyan nya ako ng kalahating milyon kapag ginawa ko yun, kaya po tinanggap ko nalang. Ang pagkakasabi po ng boss ko ay tuwing gabi, may nalabas po na babae dun sa bahay na yun at yung babaeng lalabas daw po yung target. Ang akala ko naman po, yung bahay nila ma'am Narda, yun yung bahay ng target."
Bigla namang uminit ang dugo ni Regina. "This doesn't make sense! Ikaw ang naghatid saamin kanina papunta sa bahay nila Narda. Bakit hindi mo iyon narecognize? At paanong hindi mo alam na bahay yun nila Narda, eh I thought your boss gave you an address ha?! Hindi mo rin ba kilala si Narda? Tatlong taon ka na nyang driver, hindi mo parin sya kilala?"
"Ma'am, hindi ko naman po alam eh. Hindi po ako familliar sa lugar na yun."
"Bakit? Hindi ba fanilliar sayo si Narda?! Dapat dinouble check mo din muna yung address na ibinigay sayo. Why do you have to be so dumb?" Sigaw ni Regina dito. "Why did you even accept that job in the first place eh kaya naman yan ibigay sayo ni Narda!"
"Sorry po ma'am."
"Hindi na maibabalik ng sorry mo ang buhay ng taong minamahal ko! Magdusa ka sa kulungan." Sigaw ni Regina at inawat naman sya ni Leslie.
Ang sariwang hangin na nagpapalipad sa buhok ni Regina ay damang-dama nya. Naglakakad sya ngayon sa sementeryo, kasama si Maxine at Florence.
"Narda, I miss you. Ilang taon na ang nakalipas but you're still in my heart." Nakangiting sabi ni Regina.
"Si Dada po ba ito, mommy?" Tanong ni Florence.
"Yes baby, she's your dada along with Maxine. You two are close with her. Alam nyo bang you look like her ng kaunti?"
Nanlaki naman ang mata ni Florence. "Really?"
"Look oh! This is Dada's instagram." Sabi ni Maxine kay Florence at pinakita ang mga picture nila.
"Medyo magkahawig nga sila mommy!" Sabi ni Maxine.
"Magkahawig sila pero mas close kayo, Max."
"Talaga po?"
Regina smiled. "Yes, before she died, she's playing with you at the van. We're at the van kase papunta tayo nun sa house ng lola nila ni tito Ding."
"Oh! May video po oh, she's playing with me nga oh." Nakangiting sabi ni Maxine at masayang pinanood ang video.
"Sya lang ang nakapagpatawa sayo ng ganyan ate." Sabi naman ni Florence.
"Oo nga eh, a lot of people say na sobrang sungit ko daw at tahimik nung bata pa ako."
Tumawa naman si Regina. "You're still a kid pa naman ah?"
Nagkatinginan ang dalawa at sabay na sinabing, "Oo nga noh?"
"Sana nakasama pa natin sya, siguro birthdays will be happy with her." Sabi ni Florence.
"True, sabi ni mommy she's making her happy kaya siguro masayahin sya." Pagsang-ayon ni Maxine.
"Yes, she's masayahin, caring, loving, sweet, gentlewoman and many more." Nakangiting sabi ni Regina.
"Mommy is inlove with Dada talaga!" Pang-aasar ni Florence.
"Yes, I'm inlove with her. Sadly, she passed."
Niyakap naman sya ng kambal. "Group hug!!" sigaw ng dalawa.
Siguro, ang pag-alis ni Narda sa mundo ay may purpose. Naging mas matatag sya, mas matapang, mas mapagmahal at marami pa. Hindi man maganda ang naging sanhi ng mga ito, mananatili parin naman si Narda sa puso nilang tatlo.
Kahit na marami pa sanang madidiskubre at mararanasan si Narda, pero wala nang magagawa. Alam ni Regina na masaya na si Narda kaya unti-unti nyang tinanggap ang nangyari.
