General's POV:
Kinaumagahan, nagulat nalang si Richard ng paggising nila, alas 10:00 na, ginising nya naman ang kapwa nya members
"Wake up, guys.. It's already 10:00 in the morning" hindi parin nagigising ang mga kamembers nya
"Guys!! Get up" nakaisip naman sya ng paraan
"Guys, Mr. Ricky is here, come on get up"
...........
Wala parang epekto kahit anong gawin nya
"My poor bandmates. Sorry I admit it's all my fault, but don't worry I will go to Ellaine's room" Pinuntahan nya naman ang room ni Ellaine
Nagulat naman sya ng pagbukas nya wala si Ellaine doon. Dali-dali syang bumalik sa room nila para tawagin ang mga ka-bandmates
"Chris, come on wake up!!!" Niyugyog nya ito
"Zabdiel, Eric, Joel.. Wake up and get up guys! Ellaine is not there in her room"
Agad namang napabalikwas ng bangon ang tatlo
"How about you Joel? Get up!"
Bumangon naman si Joel
"Let's go" Richard said hurriedly
"Where are you going?" -Christopher
"Let's go, don't you guys want to come with me?"
"Where?" -Erick
"Let's find Ellaine" may narinig naman silang footsteps coming to there room
"Come here, Richard.. Don't open the door" takot na wika ni Christopher
****
Bubuksan na ni Ellaine ang room ng CNCO
Dali-dali namang tumakbo si Richard papunta sa couch na kinaroroonan nina Christopher at lahat sila ay nagpatulog tulugan
Pagpasok ni Ellaine sa room ng CNCO agad nyang kinuha ang naiwan nyang bagay doon at akmang aalis na naman
Humilik naman ng malakas si Christopher
Napatingin naman si Ellaine sa kanila
"Alam kong gising na kayong lahat, you don't need to be wake up of somebody" aniya at binuksan ang pinto at umalis
Napabangon naman sila at sinundan si Ellaine
Ellaine's POV:
Alam kong nakasunod sakin ngayon ang CNCO, bahala sila sumunod sila sa kung hanggang saan nila gusto. Dumiretso ako sa may technological room para makausap sila mama, nakatanggap kasi ako ng sulat galing kay Ylia, kailangan ko daw na makausap sila ngayon, kasi mayroon silang ibabalita
Pagkapasok ko ng techno room agad akong umupo at ginamit ang computer, hinihintay kong magrespond sina Ylia sa Skype
..........
"Hello ate Ellaine, kumusta asa'n ka ngayon?"
Napangiti nalang ako ng makita si Ylia
"Nasa technological room po"
"Sa school nyo?"
"Opo, sandali. Ylia, pwedi ko bang makausap sila mama at ate"
"Yun nga ate Elay, may ibabalita ako sa'yong di maganda. Pero wag ka masyadong mag-alala huh, pero kailangan namin ng tulong mo"
Bigla namang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko sa kaba
"Ano yun Ylia? diretsuhin mo na ako!"
"Si tita Madelyn.... Na ospital sya, na confine sya kahapon at sabi ng doctor may sakit daw sya na colon cancer diagnosed stage 1. Kailangan namin ng tulong mo ate Elay, di sapat ang pera na mayroon kami, halos lahat ng pera nagastos na namin sa iba't-ibang paggamotan"
Napuha naman ako sa nalaman ko, ang sakit... Parang dinudurog ang puso ko. Wala manlang ako sa tabi ni mama ngayon habang nagsusuffer sya ng karamdaman
Feeling ko lahat ng sigla at lakas ay naubos na sa katawan ko
"Si ate Jinrose, Ylia? Asa'n sya?"
"Nasa ospital din sya, sinasamahan nya si tita. Andun din si Dad and Mom, sabi daw ni tita, wag mo daw syang alalahanin magfocus ka lang daw sa pag-aaral mo, wag kang mag-alala ate Elay, nandito naman kami nila Dad, di namin pababayaan si tita. Ipagdasal nalang natin na gumaling sya"
"Salamat Ylia... Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko kapag wala kayo nila Tito, salamat dahil kahit papano ay mapapanatag ang loob ko dahil andyan kayo... Wag kayong mag-alala magsusumikap ako, sabihin mo kay mama na mahal na mahal ko sya, pati din kay ate Jinrose"
"Ikaw nga ang palaging inaalala ni tita lalo na paggabi eh, miss na miss ka na daw nya.. Kaya natin 'to. Malampasan din natin 'to ate Elay... "
Napahagulhol naman ako ng wala sa oras
"Okay lang yan, ate Elay, tahan na, baka mad lalong mag-alala si tita Madelyn"
"Gustong gusto ko nang makita sila mama, gusto ko na syang makita, mayakap at makausap"
"Pasensya na dahil wala ako sa tabi mo ngayon para damayan at icomfort ka, ate Elay"
"Okay lang, kaya ko na 'to"
"Sige ate Elay, tumatawag na kasi si mom sa phone ko, kailangan ko na ding pumunta sa ospital. Bye, Skype nalang ulit ako"
"O sige, ikumusta mo ako kay mama huh"
Napatingin naman ako sa may pintuan. Nakita ko naman ang lima na nakatitig sa'kin
"What are you doing here?"
Lumabas lang sila ng pintuan
General's POV:
"Guys, did you know why Ellaine is crying?" -Erick
"I don't guess, but I think she has a big problem" -Richard
"We need to help her guys, she's in a deep blue" -Zabdiel
"Or she just acting" -Joel
"What? In her face previously, did you think that's an acting?" -Erick
"I have an idea guys, to find out if she's really acting" -Christopher
"Get ready she's now here" bumukas naman ang pinto
"Masters, your foods is here, time check it's 12:00"
"Myra?"
"Yes, sir Chris. I'm Myra your food server right?"
"Yeah, I guess it was Ellaine"
"What did you say Master Chris?"
"Nothing, okay... You can go out"
"Why are you guys, so sad? Do you have a problem?"
"That's no longer your concern. Just go out!" -Christopher
"Okay, bye masters"
"Why she's not here? Why she can't come to our room?" -Erick
"Don't be that worried Erick, go give me my food" -Chris
"And why am I?"
"'Cause Ellaine is not here" matamlay naman na kumain ang CNCO
"Where's Ellaine? I think she will come here.. From the very start of the day, she's not visiting our room" -Zabdiel
"Listen guys, after I eat, I will go to her room and gonna see her if she's there and if not we'll going to get the key and I'm going to lock her room, and by that she will come to our surely"
"That's a good idea Chris, come on let's go, before she come back" ani Zabdiel
Pumunta silang dalawa para silipin kung andyan si Ellaine sa kwarto nya
"Come on Chris, she's not here, let's find the key"
"Is this the key?" Tanong ni Christopher
"Yah, that's it" wika ni Zabdiel at lumabas at kinandado ang room ni Ellaine
"Yes, Zabdiel we did it"
"Did you guys, sure that will work? What if she will become much angry with us?" -Erick
"Don't worry Erick. And if she entered our room, do what we did in the past few weeks, let's play, shout, make mess and everything, okay"
"That's not good Chris"
"Richard, believe me. If you believe it, it will work"
May narinig naman silang footsteps
"Come on guys, shout and play.. The key Zabdiel?"
"In my hands" sabat ni Zabdiel
"Good"
******
Pagbukas ni Ellaine ng room nya, nagulat nalang sya ng nakakandado ito
Narinig nya naman ang samot-saring ingay mula sa CNCO room kaya naisipan nyang pumunta dito
Pagbukas nya tumambad naman ang napakaraming kalat sa kung saan saan at ang ingay at halakhak ni Christopher at Zabdiel
Napatakip tenga nalang sya
"Guys, shut up!! Stop that!!!" Sigaw nya
Wala paring tigil sa pagpapasaway ang CNCO
"Stop!!!" Hinagis naman ni Ellaine sa kung saan ang ibang gamit ng CNCO
"No, Ellaine that's mine" -Zabdiel
"Don't you want to listen? Then, I'm going to put all your things with your mess in the trash"
Nabigla naman ang lima at tumigil na
"No, Ella don't do that, that's bad" -Richard
"And what do you think you're doing guys? Isn't that bad? How about your manners, your attitudes, your behavior? How about hurting Yashua without good judgement? How about treating your workers bad? You didn't even know their sacrifices, their determination just to work at you? No, because you didn't understand the situation that only people who has a heart can understand, and you're not like it, 'cause you didn't have a good heart. Ang tanging alam nyo lang kasi, basta mabuhay, kumain, matulog, magpasaway, maglaro.. Hindi nyo manlang iniisip na may masasagasaan kayong tao. Nasaan ang puso nyo guys? Palibhasa kasi, sarili nyo lang ang iniisip nyo. Wala kayong pakialam sa damdamin ng ibang tao"
"Where are you going?" Tanong ni Zabdiel
"And why are you asking me that?"
"Your room is locked" -Joel
"I know, I'm not going to my room"
"Ella, don't leave us" wika ni Erick at hinawakan sa kamay si Ellaine
"Erick!!" Sigaw ng apat
"From now on, I don't want to come in your room, I don't wanna hear all your voice, I don't wanna talk to all of you and I don't wanna see all your faces anymore! You can live your life free. Bahala kayo sa mga buhay ninyo" wika niya at binawi ang kamay nya kay Erick at sinarado ang pinto
Napasandal naman sya sa labas ng pinto at umiyak
"I'm sorry CNCO" bulong nya sa sarili at tumakbo
Maghapong walang kibo ang CNCO, wala silang ibang ginawa kundi mag-muni muni tungkol sa mga nangyari kanina
Pagkatapos nilang maglaro ay nakatulog na sila sa couch
Ellaine's POV:
Hanggang ngayon ang sakit parin, naguguilty ako na nagsinungaling ako kina mama, tungkol sa kung saan ako ngayon, wala naman akong ibang inaalala kundi sila lang sana maging maayos din ang lahat
Sobra talaga akong naiinis sa CNCO, kahit sabihin ng isip ko na kailangan ko silang tiisin dahil mga amo ko sila, pero parang nag-gigive up na ang puso ko, kahit anong gawin ko, Hindi parin sila tumitino, mauubos nalang ang lakas ko. May dumating nga naman na good news na makakapag-aral na muli ako, may kaakibat naman pala na bad news, andami ko na ngang problema, dadagdag pa 'tong mga gunggong
Nandito ngayon ako sa rooftop ng building ng CNCO, hindi para tumalon at magpakamatay, gusto ko pa namang mabuhay noh, pero para tignan ang mga butuin sa kalangitan ng mas maayos, mas mabuti ng nandito ako ngayon, malayo sa CNCO sana kung gagamit man ako ng telescope dito sa rooftop, makikita ko sila mama kung asa'n man sya
Ayos, nakikita ko ang mga buildings ng Hesperia, kahit papano ay nalilibang ako at narerelax. Napatingala naman ako sa kalangitan, halos kakaunti lang ang stars
Napayakap naman ako sa sarili nang biglang umihip ang malakas at malamig na hangin na sinabayan ng kidlat
Bigla namang kumulog ng malakas
******
General's POV:
Napagising naman si Richard sa malakas na kulog at napatingin sa wrist watch nya
"Guys, wake up it's 6:30 PM"
"Yeah, it's so cold here, it's seems, it may rain later" -Christopher
"Where's Ellaine?" -Erick
"Guys, how about Ellaine? The key of her room is still in me" -Zabdiel
"She said, she don't wanna see our faces anymore. I think she go to somewhere we cannot find her" -Joel
"I respect if she want to be alone, but can we guys look for her in this condo. I think she's still here" -Richard
"Let's get up and find her" -Erick
Lumabas sila ng room nila at nagtanong tanong
"Did you saw Ellaine?"
"No sir. Lo siento"
Halos naikot na nila ang buong condo pero di parin nila nakikita si Ellaine
"What if, she really go outside and went to a friend" -Christopher
"We don't need to give up guys, remember, I know Ellaine, would not give up on us, and she's still here, so let's go guys. Let's ask again some workers here" -Richard
"Hey, man. Did you saw our P.A. here?" -Zabdiel
"Yeah, she headed to the rooftop"
"See, what?! Rooftop?!" Let's go guys, we need to hurry" ani Richard at nagsitakbuhan sila ng mabilis paakyat ng hagdan
....
"Ell!---" Naputol naman ang sasabihin ni Richard ng makita nya si Ellaine na nakaupo sa kanto ng rooftop at nakatitig sa kawalan
"Come on guys, be slow" nang papalapit na sila narinig nila ang pag-iyak ni Ellaine
"Stay right behind, don't come closer" wika ni Ellaine at humarap sa kanila
"Why are you here? How could you find me? Huh?"
"We asked some workers downstairs" simpleng sagot ni Richard
"What are you going to do here?"
"We are finding you, and now that you're here, let's go back to the room" -Zabdiel
"You should go first, I don't wanna go with you, I just want to stay here alone"
Hindi naman nakinig ang CNCO
"What are you waiting for?! You want to go back to your room right?"
"We're not going to leave here without you" -Christopher
"Are you guys, serious? Haha Talaga lang.. Okay, it's your choice, I wanna stay right here 'til dawn. Guys?"
"It's okay, we're gonna stay here with you" -Richard
"Richard! What are you saying?" -Christopher
"It's okay mami" -Erick
"Richard, your fellow bandmates, asking you to go down. Why are you not listening?" -Ellaine
"Shut up guys" -Richard
"Leave me alone, get out!" Sigaw ni Ellaine sa CNCO tumakbo naman sya pero agad syang napatigil dahil wala ng sahig. Napasteady nalang sya sa kung saan sya nakatungtong. Inangat nya ang kanyang ulo at tumingin sa kalangitan
Bigla namang nagsipatakan ang ulan kasabay ng mga luha nya
"Ellaine, let's go. Here's the umbrella" wika ni Christopher at pinayongan sya nito
"No, let me get wet, tutal wala naman kayong pakialam sa'kin diba?"
"Ellaine, please" -Zabdiel
Nabasa naman ng ulan si Ellaine
"If you want to get wet by the rain, then we too" ani Christopher at isa isa nilang binaba ang dala nilang payong
"No, you will getting cold" wika ni Ellaine
"We don't care as long as you don't care yours" ani Joel
Napatalikod nalang si Ellaine at hinayaang mabasa sya ng ulan
At sinimulan namang kumanta ng CNCO

"Ellaine, we are not here to argue with you, we are just here because we want to comfort you, we all know you have a big problem right now, so can we just talk about it in the room, it's too dusky here" wika ni Zabdiel at nilapitan si Ellaine saka nilagyan ng towel sa ulo
"Come here with us, mami. We will gonna talk about your problem" -Erick
Inalalayan naman ni Zabdiel at Richard si Ellaine papunta sa room nila
Pagkarating nila agad namang umupo sila sa couch
"Okay guys, you change first" -Richard
"How about you?" -Zabdiel
"Don't worry about me, I can handle myself, I'm just going to stay here with Ellaine for a while"
Kanya kanya ng pasok ang apat sa kanilang mga males room para magbihis habang si Richard ay nakaupo sa couch kasama si Ellaine
"You know what it's really hard to have a problem that you can't express or tell to others who you have been trusted, but now you can tell me about your problem. I'm willing to listen, tell me, what's bothering your mind?"
She took a deep breath first, her eyes were red because of crying, and her sobs, makes him feels dimmed
"I found out that my mother has diagnose of colon cancer stage 1. And I'm so damn of myself thinking that I'm not able to comfort and and be at her side her now that she really needs it"
"Oh, that's really hurting Ellaine. Don't worry my grandma said if you really have a strong faith for god, whatever challenges it is, you can surpass and survive it. I will pray for your mother's healing"
"Thank you" simple words came out from her mouth
"You know what, from time to time, I always worrying about my---" Hindi natuloy ang sasabihin ni Richard dahil nakita nyang tulog na si Ellaine
"Your so unfair Ellaine, you don't even want to listen, I just have something to share with you about my problem, but now, you're sleeping. Anyways, it's okay, maybe this is not the right time for you to hear my big problem that I called the biggest mistake that I ever did in my entire life"
Sinandal naman ni Richard sa kanyang balikat ang ulo ni Ellaine
"Someday" he continued
