His Twins

Chapter 1

Napatigil siya sa kaniyang ginagawa when her phone rang. Hindi niya sana ito sasagotin ngunit tunog ito nang tunog. She sigh. Someone interrupted her cooking moment. Busy pa naman sana siya sa kaniyang pagluluto nang ilang putahe nang pagkain.

She's graduated with her course BSHRM o Bachelor of Science in hotel and Restaurant Management. Masarap siyang magluto nang mga pagkain. She can work everywhere, anywhere pero dahil lagi namang may allowance siya sakaniyang pamilya ay mas pinili niya na lamang ang tambay muna.

Tsaka may pera rin naman siyang naipon mula sa pagmomodelo niya, noon. If incase na hindi siya mabigyan ng allowance ng mga magulang niya ay may pera parin siya para sa sarili niya.

Hindi pa nga niya iyon nagalaw. Kahit piso man lang.

"Hello?"

She heard a heaved sighed in the other line,"Why you took the phone so long?"

"I'm sorry, Ken. I got busy. Nagluluto kasi ako.."She simple answer the man and sigh.

She heard him tsked"Come here at the park right now."

It really was so cold.

His voice and act. are so cold.

"Alright! After this."

He hang off the call and her tears fell down in her face. Why she always feel the cold in him? may ginawa ba siyang mali para ganitohin siya? Or to became him cold? Or mad?

She wiped her tears and start cooking again. After that, hinubad niya ang kaniyang saplot sa katawan marahil ay naging pabango ang kaniyang nilutong pagkain kanina. She took a shower, after she got bath. She used the blower to get her hair dry. She wore a white tube dress at pinaresan nang kulay dark green na jacket and a black boots.

Sinipat niya muna ang sarili niya sa salamin bago lumabas nang bahay.

SHE sighed and took a look at the park. Madaming tao. Madaming pamilya ang gumala. May mga anak, mag jowa, mag asawa, may nag picnic rin roon na boung pamilya ang kasama--siguro ay may selebrasyon na nagaganap roon.

Iginala niya ang kaniyang paningin, and there she saw him. He look so handsome with his three piece suit. He looks like a hotty serious business man he reads in a novel or in a comics that fell inlove with the girl who always got trouble.

Well, the girl's not her. Ofcourse, she's not that stubborn to get trouble.

She smile but that smile faded when she saw the irritation on Ken's face. "Why are we here? Dito ba tayo magsesilibrasyon? Why not in my condo?"She ask confusedly

Ken looked at her with the irritation on the face. She dont know why she suddenly felt sad"Celebrate what? Are you fvcking kidding me, Alexandra?"

Kumunot ang kaniyang noo.

Naguguluhan siya sa nangyayare.

Bakit ba ito ganoon? Sa pagkakaalam niya kasi ay wala naman siyang ginawang mali"What are you talking about? What's with your face?"

"Alexandra, let me go and give me my freedom. Let's break up."

"What? Why?!"She still can't believe on what's happening right now.

Nagugulohan siya, hindi niya maintindihan ang lalaki. Parang kahapon pa ay binilhan pa siya nito ng banana cake tapos ito ngayon, makikipaghiwalay na sakaniya.

"I said let's break up. I don't love you anymore. Okay? I can't love you back. Just fvking let me go."Anito sabay nang pagiwas nang tingin nito sakaniya. She had this feeling that he's into something that he couldn't change. It's like he has a problem. A very big one.She wanted to know it. She knew Ken so well.

"Say it again, Ken. Sabihin mo sa mismong pagmumukha ko! Harapin mo ako. Why you need to do all of this? Where's your promises? You promised to me that you wont leave me. You even told me that till drath do us part? Saan na 'yon? Mapapako na ba? Ha?"Sigaw niya sa lalaki kasabay nang pagyakap niya rito. No, she can't just break up with him. She loves him, she love Ken Kliven so much.

Kinuha nito ang kaniyang mga kamay at inalis sa pagkakaakap"Just let me go, Alex. Just plea--"

May pumalakpak sa kanilang likoran. it was Helen. She's wearing a black sexy outfit and a sling bag on her right shoulder. And her heels, maybe 5 inches heel?"What a great scene, Alex. Sorry but no sorry. Ken is mine now. Don't touch him."Kinuha nito si Ken sakaniya at hinalikan sa mismong harapan niya.

She got shocked. She thought it was just Ken's friend and just a business partner or something, but what is this!? Her legs was shaking. She don't know what to do. She still hoping that this is all just a bad dream--a nightmare.

Pagkatapos nitong halikan ito ay may sinabe pa ito,"I'm sorry, Babe. I was late, iyan tuloy at nahawakan kapa nang babaing iyan."Tiningnan pa siya nito mula ulo hanggang paa.

"No need to apologize babe, it's okay."

"Wow?! That fast, Ken? You change me? Anong meron sakaniya na wala ako? Saan na iyong mga pangako mo? Saan na?! So many years we've been shared ganito lang matatapos? You f*****g cheated on me..Tell me, anong meron sakaniya?!"Sigaw niya sa pagmumukha nito. Halos pumutok na ang ugat niya lalo na ang ulo niya sa kakaisip kung ano ang kaniyang nagawa para saktan siya nito at iwan?

Madaming atensyon ang kaniyang nakuha pero wala siyang pakialam. Nasasaktan siya. Masakit sakaniya na ganoon nalang basta basta nito taposin ang kanilang matagal nang sinimulan na pag ibig.

It was like he was just throwing a trash. Breaking up with her is a big impact to her. Leaving her without reason? Leaving her with full of question, what? Why? Or did something she did making him leave her like that?

"Just stop this shitty moments, Alex. Go home! I wont f*****g love you back."Tinignan niya ang mata nito. Iba ang sinasabe. Ramdam niya iyon. Alam niyang mahal pa siya nang lalaki. Mahal na mahal. Those gray eyes of him are always telling the truth!

"Ken please? Look into my eyes and tell me that you dont love me anymore after that I'll let you go."She pleaded and hoping that he will tell her opposite. She's hoping that he wont gonna do tbe break up thingy. Maryir na kung martir pero hindi niya kayang mawalay ito.

"I-i dont--i dont. I dont love you. Then now, let me free."

Bumagsak ang kaniyang balikat. Her tears started to fell again into her cheeks. And it was really hurt. Bakit ganoon? Ganun lang ba kadali baliwalain ang maglilimang taon nila? Why it is so painful--tagos na tagos iyon sakaniyang puso. Parang binagsakan siya ng langit at lupa sa nararamdaman niya ngayon.

She wiped her tears,"Okay, I guess hindi mo na nga ako mahal. Ganoon lang pala baliwalain ang lahat nang iyon? Magiging okay rin ang lahat. Matatanggap ko din ito."Pinahiran niya ang kaniyang luha at tinignan ang langit. Madilim ito at walang bituin halatang uulan ito. Gusto niyang tumawa, may balak pa ata ang langit ang damayan siya.

"Oh come on, Alex. Drop the shitty acts. I dont want to hear your agonies."Narinig niya ang haliparot. Gusto niyang sakalin ito at ilibing nang buhay.

Uminit ang kaniyang ulo. May nakita siyang isang baso nang juice. And the cup are made from glass.

Timing!

Kinuha niya ang juice at itinapon sa babae. Kasabay nang pagsabunot nito sa buhok at pinokpok nito sa ulo ang baso. Hindi man lang ito nakapag depensa. Ken tried to pull her away but she was so strong because she's upset and broken.

She can waste her time putting blackeyes to this w***e. She swear!

Tumayo siya pagkatapos nang kaniyang ginawa sabay bato naman sa baso nito sa lalaking minahal niya, yes the man she loved. The man that her ex, started today."Thanks for all the pain you've cause, Ken. I appreciate a lot!"

"You b***h! Wag kana kasi mainggit na akin na ngayon si Ken."

Dinuro niya ang babae"And to know you, w***e. He's all yours. Hindi na ako mangdidisturbo sa pagmamahalan ninyo. Hindi rin maiinggit sa kagaya mong namumulot lang nang basura na itinapon ko na."She simple smiled but deep inside it was f*****g really hurt. Sino ba ang hindi masasaktan? Mataas na ang kanilang pinagsamahan ngunit ganoon lamang itinapos. She ran. Dumeretso agad siya sa kaniyang sasakyan at pinaharurot papuntang condo niya.

Agad siyang pumasok sa condo. Pagpasok niya ay napaiyak nanaman siya. Those balloons, candles, foods and wine ay nasayang lang. Binasa niya ang mga letrang binou niya sa pader. Pagkatapos niyon ay dahan dahan siyang umupo sa sofa at napahikbo.

She carries her womb.

She was carrying Ken's baby.

Buntis siya at kahapon niya palang nalaman. Sintomas na pala nang pagbubuntis ang nangyayare sa ilang linggo na niyang nararanasan.

She even hated the morning sickness. Inaantok siya palagi at kung kakain naman siya ay mapili rin at kung may napili man siya ay madami rin ang kaniyang makakain. Aaminin niyang medyo lumaki ang kaniyang katawan.

"Baby, I dont know how to raise you well. Hindi ko alam kung paano kita palakihin nang walang ama pero pinapangako ko sa iyo na mamahalin kita. Sobra pa sa sobra."Kasabay noon ang pagtulo nanaman sa kaniyang mga luha.

Bakit nakaya nitong saktan siya na wala naman siyang ibang ginawa kung hindi ang mahalin ito?

How could he change her that fast?

She called her mom. Ilang minuto lang ay natanggap agad nito ang tawag. Naguunahang lumabas ang kaniyang mga traydor na luha.

"hello?"

"M-mom? We broke up. B-bakit po ang sakit?"

"Hush sweety! You'll be fine."

"I'm pregnant, Mom. Paano ko ito papalakihin nang hindi siya kasama? Magiging okay lang ba sa anak ko na wala siyang ama? Makakaya ko bang palakihin ito nang ako lang mag isa?"

"Hush! Hindi ka mag iisa. Nandito pa ako, anak. I'm here to guide you at kasama mong palakihin yan--andito kami nang daddy at mga kapatid mo. Wag mong isipin na mag iisa kang palakihin iyan."

"B-but mom. I can't raise my child without a father. Masasaktan siya."

"No, you can raise that baby without father! We can raise your child, anak."

"But in one condition."She heard her father

Alam na niya kung ano ang kondisyon ang sinasabe nang ama. Gusto kasi nito na pauwiin sa Italy. They live in Italy, matagal na. Doon rin siya ipinanganak. Sa Italy niya rin nakilala ang matalik na kaibigan na si Alyah, umuwi itong Pilipinas kasama siya sa kadahilanang ayaw ito magpaiwan sakaniya.

Till one day, her mom got a meeting in Philippines. Sa masasa beach. She met Ken there when she was still 16 years old. And she got love at first sight. Funny to think na nahulog agad ang kalooban niya sa lalaki.

"Hello? Sweetheart? You still there?"

"Uh-yes. No need a condition, Dad. Tumawag ako kasi gusto ko naring umuwi diyan sa Australia and start a new life."She sighed and wiped her tears. She hate being pregnant, those pregnant were all emotionally and OA. Like her.

"Then that's good to hear." it was her brother.

"Whatever. I will hang this off, Mom. Magiimpake pa ako."

"Okay, just take care. Lalo na ngayon na nagdadalang tao kana. Ang apo namin na dinadala mo ay dapat ingatan. Alam mo namang matagal na naming pangarap nang Dad mo ang magkaapo."Napangiti siya sa ina.

"I will mom."

Inimpake na niya ang kaniyang mga gamit. Mayamaya rin ay natapos agad. Kumalam nanaman ang kaniyang sikmura at gusto kunain nang strawberries na nilalagay sa gatas. Ewan ba niya pero iyan ata ang pinaglilihian niya. Ito kasi ang hinahanap nang kaniyang sikmura. Gustong gusto niyang kainin ang mga iyon minsan ay nilalagyan niya pa ito nang milk powder.
