I bit my lip while hugging her, patuloy padin ang iyak niya and it pain me to see her like this. It's been 3 days since her grandmother died, she stay up all night for those days crying and mourning for her grandma. Hindi siya natulog at ganon din ako, I stayed by her side comforting her

She lost weight since minsan ay nakakalimutan na niyang kumain, I did my best to give her grandma a proper farewell

"Baby stop crying, you need to drink water now" i whispered to her ear while she cried on my chest

Kasalukuyan kaming nasa burol ng lola, not that many people visited but I don't care

My heart is being punched seeing her like this and I can't stand it, gusto ko siyang patigilin sa pag-iyak but I don't know

"I know it you're hurt but please take care of your health, your grandma will not be happy if she sees you like this"I whispered and rubbed her back to soothe her

Hindi siya nakinig saakin kaya huminga ako ng malalim, I let her stay leaning on me while rubbing her back since
