The susunod morning.
Zoey was talking with the mortician, while Alexia was watching cartoons. At least Zoey was under the impression Alexia was watching cartoons. Until her little girl let out a shriek.
“Mommy!”
Zoey, scared something had happened to Alexia, jumped up and ran into the sitting room. Alexia was staring at the screen.
“Lex, what’s going on? You almost gave mommy a puso attack” Zoey sinabi and swallowed a few times to calm down.
“Mommy, come look” Alexia sinabi breathless. “Uncle Emmanuel is on TV”
Zoey rushed to the telebisyon and increased the volume.
“Last night the police arrested a man named Castiel for the abuse of a four taon old girl” the newsreader said.
“Alexia, go play outside” Zoey sinabi trembling.
“Why do they call him Castiel, mommy? His name’s Emmanuel” Alexia sinabi confused.
“Now!” Zoey yelled and Alexia ran outside.

I Remember…
I remember the day,
That he passed away,
Just like it was,
Yesterday.
I remember the night,
Full of delight,
When you two made,
Amends.
I remember that day,
When you went to play,
Zelda,
On my N64.
But I remember tomorrow,
The araw of sorrow,
When I found out what happened,
To him.
And I’ll never forget,
The araw you left,
This Earth to go play in the sky.
I remember the day,
That you passed away,
Just like it was,
Today.
