Ella's POV

Im shock, yeah thats the feeling. After knowing that Lyle is suffering amnesia, amdaming na-explain kung bakit he married Lau. I have to tell this to Den but how. Hindi nga namin alam kung saan siya pumunta. Ayaw naman sabihin ng family niya. Kailangan kong itago muna ito, una sa lahat sa media. Hindi ko pala alam ang buong storya. Kailangan ko makausap si Ate Alex, alam kong may alam siya.

Nandito ako ngayon sa clinic ni Ate Alex. Kakatok na sana ako kaso I saw a culprit na medyo kilala ko.

"What is she doing here?" I ask myself. Baka napadaan lang. I walked and knocked sa door then someone said come in.

Ate Alex was shock when she saw me standing there. I gave the latter a smile, a sad one.

"Ate..." I said. Thats all I can say. Siguro dahil diko mahanap ang tamang tanong.

"Oh, Ella! What brings you here?" she said happily and hug me.

"Ah ano po kasi. Its about Lyle po." I said. Bigla naman nagbago ang mood niya. She became worried.

"Alam ko na." she said then smiled sadly. "Sorry Ella. We hid the fact that Ly has amnesia, kailangan. Para sakanya din yon, ells. We're sorry."

"Pero ate, you dont understand. My other bestfriend was in pain, still in pain. Akala niya kinalimutan na siya ni Ly." I said calmly. I was there when Dennise was broken dahil sa kasal ni Ly. And that explains why we arent invited kasi di niya kami kilala.

"I know. I know. It was all my fault. Our parents, nasa states sila nung nangyari ang accident and it's my duty to protect him. Nung kinwento ni Lau kung paano umiyak si Ly dahil kay Den, minabuti ko ng wag ipaalala sakanya yon." she said then a tear escape her eyes.

"Ate, bakit naman? He deserve to know the truth. Den deserves to be happy. Happy with him but you took it away. I cant blame you, you're just doing your duty." I said then turned my back to her. "And dont worry, I wont tell Den and Ly about it." at tuluyan na akong lumabas ng pinto.

I dont know but after driving for so long, I found myself infront of the Lazaros. If there's someone I can talk to, I know its Jus. Siya lang ang makakaintindi at makakagawa ng paraan.

Bumusina ako para malaman na may tao sa labas but no one opened the gate. Kinabahan ako dahil usually si Jus ang natakbo papunta sa gate. Lumabas na ako ng kotse and I was about to knock on the gate when a maid opened it.

"Ay, ma'am Ella. Nasa ospital po silang lahat." Manang Fe said.

"Sige ho." Tama ako! Si Jus nga yung nakita ko sa hospital! Anong ginagawa nila don? I started the engine and made my way to the hospital.

I ask the receptionist kung nasaan ang Lazaro. "Ummh, Miss? Sa Lazaros po."

"Ma'am nasa emergency na naman daw po." Woah? Na naman?

"Ah thanks." sabay takbo. I saw Tita Arlene crying sa labas and I had a bad feeling about it. Nakita ko rin si Jus and Mosh na magkayakap.

"Ate Ella!" sugod ni Jus sakin habang naiyak. "A...te.. Si.. D..dad.." hindi na siya makapagsalita kakaiyak.

"Shhh. Anong nangyari?" I asked.

"He had a heart attack, and we rushed him here an hour ago but still ganon pa din." she explained.

"Shh. Malakas si Tito. He can make it, I know he can." Sabi ko sakanya pagpapalakas ng loob. "Alam na ba ng Ate Den mo ito?"

Umiling lamang siya habang nakayakap sakin. "Tawagan mo na. Ako na muna bahala kila tita."

Lumabas si Jus ilang minuto at tumabi naman ako kay Tita na nakatingin sa kawalan. Umiiyak siya at inaalo niya naman si Mosh.

"Tita, kaya niyo yan. Malakas kayong pamilya. Kaya niyo to." I said at niyakap na sila. After my mom died, ang family na ni Den ang tinuring ko pamilya. Hindi na ako iba sakanila at ganon din sila sa akin.

Ilang minuto pa ay lumabas ang doktor at nandito na rin si Jus.

"Mrs Lazaro?" the doctor asked pertaining to Tita Arlene. Tumango naman si tita at lumapit ang doctor sa amin.

"Currently the patient is suffering coma, nagkaroon din siya ng stroke. The heart is still not stable. Sa ICU ko siya ipalalagay para mas ma-monitor ang brain activity and heart. But for now, we cant say he's safe." she explain to us. Tumango nalang ako dahil mukhang iiyak na naman si Tita. Tumango naman ang doctor at umalis na.

"Tita umuwi po muna kayo ni Mosh, kaya niyo ba?" I asked. Kailangan niya din magpahinga. Umiling lamang siya at umakyat na sa ICU.

"Kayo na lamang ang umuwi nila Jus. And ella, please take care of them muna habang iniintay natin na makauwi si Den." she said to me. I gave her a smile at hinila ko na sila Jus palabas.

"Ate, is dad okay?" Mosh ask innocently.

"Yeah, he's fine! Remember he is the strongest man!" I said and tickled the latter to lighten up Jus' mood. And it worked dahil tumawa din siya.

"Lets go!" sabi ko nalang. Before we know it nasa bahay na kami at mahimbing na natutulog si Mosh. Pagod siguro. I saw Jus na nasa baba at nakatulala.

"You've got a lot to explain Justine Lazaro." I said and gave her a serious look.

"Okay okay, jeez Ate Ella di bagay." she joked. Yeah, im that kinda person that dont take stuff seriously. "Ate Den, is in Europe. She'll be back tomorrow afternoon."

"What the heck?! Europe?!" I said in disappointment. Napakalayo.

"Relax, ang problemahin muna natin ay ang kondisyon ni Kuya Lyle." woah? Holy sheeep?! Alam niya.

"Alam mo?!" I shouted. How come no one told me?! Baka alam din nila Tita?!

"Sheez! Calm down, I accidentally eavesdrop kanina sa clinic ni Ate Alex. And no, hindi alam nila mommy." Mind reader ba siya?! Nakakastress ngayong araw.

We talked about on how to tell the others about the situation. Siguro dahil sa pagod we decided to call it a day.
