Hello, Aunt Loleng. I'll help you prepare sinigang.
Yes, Nothing much she told me who she was.
So, what happened? Did you met her?
Everyone makes mistakes, Liza. I beg for understanding
Hi, Are you Liza?
Yes
Oh, he was sleeping in one of the bedrooms.
Where was your Dad when she was talking to you
After gathering some tomatoes, Liza began chopping the tomatoes for the sinigang as Tita Loleng and Liza talked about what happened in Lem's wake. Liza reminisced on the events that took place at the burial as she prepared sinigang.
I am glad you came
.....
WHY?
Liza met her step mother, After being introduced to her, Liza tried hard to outwardly remain calm but Sylvia was not able to suppress her emotions and her tears just flowed to her eyes. She grabbed Liza's hand and she knelt and begged for forgiveness.
Tita Loleng questioned Liza about her father, who was sleeping and had missed what had happened to Liza and Sylvia, as she was chopping and slicing the tomatoes and veggies.
At the funeral...
Would he be the same if I was the one who died?
Liza's dad went out of the room, he approached Liza and stood next to her. Liza didn't look and kept quiet as they engaged in light discussion between a father and daughter thing. She just had one word to say: "WHY?"
Tita Loleng told Liza to finished the sinigang, because she will go to her room to stretch her back a bit. She started preparing all the other ingredients that will be added to the pot later on. While Liza was cooking sinigang, she remembered some memories including her mother cooking sinigang. She also remembered her father crying while Lem’s casket was being lowered.
At that time she saw his father crying at Lem's funeral and thought would he be the same if she was the one who died?When the sinigang was done, it would be served at dinner and Liza were picturing herself seated beside his father, and his dad would be happy because she cooked his favorite dish -SINIGANG.
