Violet'sI was wearing an all-white knee-length dress while holding a piece of long stemmed rose. I was also, standing beside Papay, holding his arms while looking down at the closed casket in front of us. I could see how sad he was. Everyone is sad for this untimely death.
Red was beside Dondon, Ate was with Kuya Narcing. Mama was holding Tita Georgina's hand. Everyone was supporting each other while we listened as Uncle Hades speaks on the mic.
His last farewell.
He was telling the world how lucky he was because he had married the most wonderful woman in the world. There was sadness in his eyes but he let go of her because he needs to and he believes that they will meet again.
The funeral last for two hours. I was ready to throw away my white rose when suddenly Papay broke down. Agad siyang nilapitan ni Uncle Ares at Uncle Hermes. I was crying too.
Inilibig si Mama Hera sa likod bahay nila. Uncle Hades made a garden for her and in the middle, there lies her grave and it's just beautiful.
Percy was crying too. He was being comforted by his sister – in – law. Apollo and Achilles were beside their father, trying hard to make him feel better. It was something to remember but it's too hard to watch.
After a while, umalis na rin kami sa hantungan ni Mama Hera. May kaunting salo-salo sa bahay nila. The whole clan was there, sa pamilya naman namin ay nakiramay sila Dondon, si Uncle Jude saka si Aurora. And then the rest are our family.
Halata naman na malungkot ang lahat pero kailangan tanggapin ang mga bagay-bagay.
I stood by the balcony with Percy. Doon, kitang – kita namin ang lahat.
"Huy..." Pinindot ko ang braso niya. "Magiging okay din ang lahat."
"I know..." He said. "I'll miss her." He shook his head. "Kamusta na nga pala iyong kaibigan ni Uncle, iyonh nabaril recently." He asked me. Ang tinutukoy niya ay si Uncle Ido. I smiled.
"Ayon, okay na okay naman na siya. Kasama niya si Aswell ngayon, iyong bunso niyang anak. Sila iyong magkamukha kasi daw kaya sila ang nagpunta sa Batanes kasama iyong apo niyang lalaki. Si Caspian." Kung magkwento ako kay Percy, akala mo kilala niya si Uncle Ido. Sabagay, may kayabangan naman kasi talaga siya kaya ayon, kilala siya talaga.
"How about your... husband?"
Napangiti ako nang itanong niya sa akin. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi kasi ako makapaniwala sa nangyari noon. A hundred days ago, I was shot...
I fell in the sand, looking at the skies, hindi ko alam kung anong mangyayari sa akin pero alam kong may masakit. I could only think about my father, my mom, and my siblings, how much I am going to miss them, how much Papay will be hurt if I leave again.
