Chapter 29 ;) 

[Jusmine's POV] 

The party started. It was quite a party halos lahat ng business associates, mga dating kasama ni dad sa basketball andito. Sobrang Ganda nung party and at some point masaya din naman. masaya siguro yung party, pero ako hindi. I was with Justine all night. he was following me. and keeping me company. I don't know if he's doing it on purposes dahil ayaw niya talagang lumapit sakin si Allen. si Allen naman. tahimik lang dun, at pag nagkakatinginan kami he simply looks away. 

I don't really understand what's going on. 

"Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen" 

napatingin kami sa nagsalita. it was dady, and he was at the stage with mom. 

He took a deep sigh. "18 years ago, My wife. Alexandra Rean, gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, We were so happy and contented. ano pa nga ba ang mahihiling namin? We have A handsome Son, which really do look like me..."dad chuckled so as the guests "not just Handsome. but inteligent and down to earth. And A beautiful daughter. A daughter who has a beautiful face, Just like her mom" then dad looked mom with full of love which made my mom smiled. "as Parents, after holding her for the first time we had this huge dream behind her. That maybe she would like to be a doctor, a business woman perhaps, or pwede ding basketball player... but after a year with her. A tragic happen to our family, which I though we can never surpass" He sighed. "December, We Have a Family Reunion in Cebu. Our Whole Family will be there, so we decided to go there via Hellicopter, Unfortunately, the hellicopter crash which cause the loss of our daughter. those days were the nightmare of our lives. everynight. makikita ko nalang ang asawa ko... nasa kwarto ng anak naming babae. and she was Crying. sino ba namang hindi ina ang iiyak? kung halos lahat ng taong naghahanap sa anak namin ee sinasabing patay na siya. But she just woudn't quit. Ako. Honestly, I already gave up. kahit ayoko kailangan. I need to go on with my life. for Jurmaine my son, and off course for my wife. kahit na ayoko. pero laging sinasabi sakin ng asawa ko. 'Jumaine, alam kong buhay pa siya. nararamdaman ko. ina ako, ay alam kong hindi ako nagkakamali' she was crying while telling those things to me. At ako bilang asawa niya. nagagalit ako sa sarili ko, because I know I can't do anything to ease her pain..." 

Suddenly I felt tears pouring in my eyes. 

"So I decided something... as The head of the family. I decided to Adopt a kid. kasi baka dito. magkaroon ulit ng buhay yung asawa ko. On the Same day Of september. Pumunta kami sa isang bahay ampunan, and My son Jurmaine, he can't feel anything bu to be excited. dahil sabi niya gusto na niya makilala yung kapatid niya. He was the one who picked Justine" dad look at Justine which is Standing beside me. "Justine, Ikaw Ang dahilan kung ano ngayon ang mamy mo. Loving you is not enough para malaman mo kung gaano mo nabago ang buhay ng mamy mo. She love you so much son, not because you were Jusmine's Replacement. but because your another person who gave her reason to live" 

Justine smiled at may nagfoform ng tears sa mata niya, and I look at mom. ganun din siya. 

"A year or ago. we recieved a very good news. which made us happier, the news was, our long lost daughter was alive! after 17 years of search. she was found! siguro kung hindi dahil sa asawa ko. baka wala dito ang anak ko ngayon. because of her determination that our child is still alive maybe we have given up. and kung nag-give up kami. baka wala tayong lahat dito para icelebrate ang kanyang debut" dad handed the microphone to my mom. 

before talking. she cleared her throat at wipe her tears. "God Knows How thankful we are to see our daughter. kahit sigyuro hindi namin siya nakasama lumaki. maybe we can make good memories with her. and Justine, mahal na mahal kita anak. happy birthday. Thank you because kahit hindi kita niluwal. mahal na mahal mo pa din ako. alam ko kasalanan ko dahil hindi ko inamin sayo ang totoo. but I love you so much Son, I love you as much as I love Jurmaine and Jusmine" 

without knowing it. Lumapit na si Justine kay mamy and he started hugging her. they were both crying while hugging. I can't help but cry. 

"I love you so much ma. I know I've been a jerk after I found out that I was adopted. maybe because I love you so much. that's why I also expected to much. Looking back at everything I Just realize. I've been a pain in the ass for everyone that's around me. sainyo ni dad. kay Kuya Jurmaine, sa bestfriend kong si Francis..." he took a deep sigh. "at kay Sandy... sorry guys, if i was so insensitive those times and i evem forgot to say thank you for everything, thanks for your love and for your support everyone" He said and hug mom once again then turn to me. bumalik siya sa tabi ko at inakbayan ako. 

DUG DUG DUG DUG DUG DUG. 

"I think its time for me to thank the people behind this. first I would like to thank. Ruffa and George Miguel, who took care of our daughter for 17 years" mom said. then bigla namang nagkaroon ng video dun sa projector. 

it was mama and papa. 

"Hi anak ko... Happy 18th birthday, wala kami diyan. alam kong miss na miss mo na kami. alam ko maganda ka ngayon. mana ka kasi sakin ee" she started crying. so was I. siguro kasi miss na miss ko na siya.

"mahal na mahal kita anak. siguro masama din na sabihin kong masaya ako kasi nawala ka. kasi napunta ka sakin. God Gave me an opportunity to raise such a wonderful daughter that every parent would be lucky to have. proud na proud ako sayo anak. kami ng dad mo. we love you so much" She wiped her tears then si dad naman. 

"Hi Xandra! happy 18th birthday, i never imagine you spending your birthday away from us. pero masaya na din ako. kasi kasama mo yung mga totoong magulang mo. they are so lucky to have you as their daughter. ganun na din ang mga kapatid mo. si Jurmaine at si Justine. alam kong kahit papaano. inaalagaan ka nila. magiingat ka mahal ko. I'll see you soon. Engr. Rean" 

then si Trisha naman. nung siya na yung nasa cam na pa hagulgol na ko. I missed her so much. yung kakulitan niya. siguro kasi wala na kong mas nakakabatang kapatid dito kaya namimiss ko na siya. 

"Hi ate! happy birthday. I miss you so much. always remember that I'm here for you. and kumakain na din ako ng veggies. kasi di ba sabi mo, magagalit ka pag hindi ako kumakain non. at this oh" she took out a paper. "see this. I'm the top one at my class. sabi ni dad. mana daw talaga ako sayo. I'm honored. I miss you ate. I'll see you soon. I love you" 

then the video ended. 

but I was still crying. Justine took a hanky from his Pocket at wiped my tears, and started to rub my arms to comfort me. 

After nung mga messages nila mama. I Can't feel anything but happiness. siguro kasi masaya na ko na nakita ko sila sa birthday ko. kahit paano.nakalimut ako sa mga personal problems ko regarding kay Allen. 

nakapag palit na ko ng cocktail dress at andito ako sa veranda ng hall. nakatingin sa Full moon. 

"what are you asking?" 

napatingin naman ako sa nagsalita. si Justine. 

I shook my head with I smile. "nothing. I was just thinking.. I'm very lucky to have them as parents. all for of them" I said. 

"yeah your lucky. napapaisip tuloy ako kung anong klaseng tao yung mga magulang ko. bat kaya nila ako pinamigay? nawala ba ko kagaya mo? hinanap din ba nila ako?" He said with a bitter smile. 

"why don't you find them" I said. 

"di ba dapat the other way around? di ba dapat they were the one who's finding me?" He said, and I can sense na malungkot siya. 

I smiled bitterly. "they hae reasons Justine. wag kang maunahan ng galit mo kasi hindi mo naman alam kung ano ang dahilan nila kung bakit ka nahiwalay sakanila. don't worry. I'll help you. I'm here remember?" I said and Smiled. 

he Hug me. 

"I don't know what to do without you"
