“How was it Mom?” Kararating lang ng Mommy niya from Calixto’s house. She was sad and quiet. “sinaktan ka ba niya, Mommy?”
“No no, Mavee.”
“Then why that face? Something happened?”
“He’s different. Too different from the Calixto that I know, that we all know. He’s sick, he’s stuck in a wheelchair forever , he can’t walk anymore, he’s blind. My god Mavee!” Biglang umiyak ang Ina.
“Mom! That’s not your fault.” Hinagod niya ito sa likod, mabuti na lamang at tulog na ang kambal.
“I know, Mavee. We talked, we forgave each other.” Malalim na bunting hininga ang ginawa ng ina. “I forgave him, I hope you can also, Mavee. I hope his family can also forgive him. Para matahimik na rin siya anak.”
“What do you mean his family, Mom?”
“They left him, Mavee.” Ikuwento ng ina ang nangyari kay Calixto at sa pamilya nito base na rin sa pagkakakuwento ni Calixto at ni Attorney.
“Mom! You cannot blame them for leaving him. I cannot blame Craig for leaving and hating him. I just can’t help, I still hate Calixto.”
“Mavee, we had talked about it. We need to forgive and learn from the past in order for us to move on. Para sa mga bata, para na rin sa atin.”
“I know, Mom.”
“Where you able to reach Jay Craig?”
“I hope so, Mom. Leila and Cyrus were here to pay me a visit and I told them my plan. I am afraid Mommy. What if Craig cannot accept the twins? What if he will get my children? What is..”
"Mavee, what if everything will be okay?” Just don’t worry much, I know Jay Craig is such a good man, he will not obey Calixto that much if he isn’t. Besides, I know he will love the twins! They are lovable. Nasaan nga pala sila?”
“They are sleeping Mom, alam mo naman ang mga yun kung gaano kakulit.”
“Anak, just remember, be open okay, kahit anong mangyari, nandirito ako sa tabi mo.”
“Thanks Mom.” Niyakap niya ang ina.
