Video footage of Renal and Perth talking on the night of their fight with Katelyn because of her childishness spread throughout social media and tv broadcasting.
Katelyn was her best friend when they were in high school, she didn’t even know why they suddenly became friends. It seems to have changed suddenly.
That was the reason why she ends up being alone and secluded herself from everyone. He was deeply saddened by the breakdown of his friendship with Katelyn back then.
Ernaline is like an idiot on TV where the video footage of the two men is shown, even her face is covered all over the Philippines. Someone says that there is a third party going on between her, Renal, and Perth but they don’t know the reason behind it. They didn't record the actual conversation and they pretended that Ernaline was a two-timer and that she was living with Renal’s cousin?
Seriously? Perth's hug with her was a big deal to them, because of that scene many articles appeared under Perth Dezrail's name. His band being famous, the reason why he abandons them, and the answers why he’s hugging her while she’s crying!
"People these days are monsters" Ernaline turned to her older brother who slumped to sit next to her while his eyes were focused on the tv.
After that incident, her brother told her to come home because their Mom and Dad want to celebrate her successful concert but at the end of the day, she brought trouble to their house.
"What should I do?" Ernaline approached her brother and she leaned her head on his shoulder while her older brother's arm was wrapped around her back waist.
"Don't stress yourself, let them seek for what they want to know as long as you know the real story behind it," with her brother being so busy with their company he still gives her time. "You know, media's are full of shits. That's how it works and expects more trash inside that world baby. You entered it without hesitation, there's no turning back."
Ernaline pushed her older brother out of annoyance. "Maybe you forgot, you're the one who pushed me to audition on that damn company. I'm happy with my music and look at me now? My face is all over the internet!" she folded her arms and walked away from her brother.
Reiden laughs at her as he pulled her closer to him again and hugged her. "I have a reason why I pushed you to do that thing. You know I can build your recording studio and you can earn what you have right now with my power but I choose to let go of that chance because I want you to experience the spotlight and have a normal life again. "
"Why? Do I look abnormal?"
"It's not like that, I mean you're normal it's just that you're always talking about paper and guitar"
"You're crazy. I'm probably a songwriter and why didn't you even think of making me a recording studio?" Ernaline suddenly picked up the remote control before turning off the TV and facing her brother.
"Too lazy to do that," Ernaline’s hand fell on her older brother's forehead. He is annoying! She arranged a seat when their Mommy and Daddy arrived with food. Ernaline helped put their snack on the coffee table.
"Mommy, big brother is teasing me again," the girl complained to their Mother.
"Your brother is a clingy type of person," Ernaline sniffed at what their Mommy said. Ernaline sat on their father’s lap was just sitting on the single couch.
A typical scenario of their family.
"Baby, you're too heavy," complained her Father who was already feeling rheumatic.
"I'm not heavy Dad, you're just getting old," Ernaline handed over a cookie made by their Mother before hugging on the shoulder of his Dad who was now just laughing.
She can only tease her Daddy sometimes especially when they are busy traveling around the world for their business sake.
"She has a boyfriend Dad, you can't call her baby or cuddle her like that." the girl was choked because of what her older brother said.
"Oh?" Mom said.
Ernaline coughs so hard, her Father handed her the juice.
"Who's the lucky one? That Ocampo or your bodyguard?" Ernaline looked at her older brother, what wonders were coming out of his mouth.
"I don't have a boyfriend Dad. You know me, writing a song is my first love" Ernaline threw a pillow at her older brother but he just caught it.
"Dezrail is a good man and that Ocampo, he's one of your friends when we were in states for your recovery that time." Ernaline dropped her jaw at what their Mother said.
"What do you mean Mom?" She asked in surprise.
"Oh right. You can't remember do you?" Their Mom asked. "Dezrail is the only son of my bestfriend. When you were young, you always played with him together with Kyle when they visit our house, recently you also just met Renal after that incident."
"Who's Kyle?" He asked again.
"He's one of your bandmates. I was surprised because that boy is so handsome, and I didn't expect you to be together again. I mean you, Dezrail, Kyle, Jasper, and Kaizen? You're all childhood friends. " the girl couldn't even speak when her Mommy started telling her about her youth.
That's why she doesn't remember because she had short-term memory loss and they didn't push her to remember everything. Her family decided to bring her to America for her medication and then she met Renal there.
The girl left her Daddy's lap before sitting on the carpet at the feet of her older brother who was eating cookies, imagine like a toothpaste model.
"You lost your memory because of that accident," Ernaline shrugged when she was just listening to Mother's story. She slapped her brother's hand as he played with her hair. Serious talk about with her Mom and then he disturbs her concentration?
"Denver and Precilla are fond of you baby, you know they don't have a daughter and Dezrail is their only son. There are even times when we talk that when you grow up, you'll marry him," Ernalinee felt all the blood rush to her face. Perth's personality is not bad he's just a mystery to her or a puzzle that she can't completely fix.
"But we don't mind if you won't choose him as your husband or whatever, it's your choice. And then an accident happens. Precilla, Denver, Dezrail and you are all inside that car. Precilla insisted to pick you up from school together with Dezrail because we're in the middle of a hectic schedule at that time and your brother got sick. And then someone called us that the car you were driving had an accident."
"Then where are Perth parents?"
"They died before they were brought to the hospital. We thought then that you and Dezrail were gone but a miracle happened between you two but the outcome was that you lost your memory and then Dezrail suddenly disappeared from the hospital. We just recently found out the truth that he was alive and he became your bodyguard." no words came out of Ernaline's mouth.
Too much information that her mind won't process. Their Mother even showed her baby pictures with Perth until they grew up together.
Why they don’t tell her about it? That they already knew Ernaline before? Even her brother didn't utter a word about this!
Mother told her many more stories about her childhood memories but she did not remember even one. Maybe because of her trauma that time when they had an accident.
