Chapter 4
1004 Words
After I was done fixing myself I decided to get out of the comfort room.
Papalabas na ako papuntang garden Ng may humablot sa akin at hinila ako sa bahagi Ng Walang masyadong Tao.
"What are you up to, woman?" Malamig na tanong ng humablot sa akin habang nakatingin Ng matalim.
Tinapunan ko din siya Ng malamig na tingin at tinaasan Ng kilay.
"I beg your pardon? If this is all about what happened last week. I already told you that I will pay for the damage I've cost to your lovely car." Pahayag ko.
"Don't play with me. How could you show up yourself like nothing happened?" He madly asks.
"How many times I repeat to you that I will pay? Are you retired or what?" Naiinis ko ding Sabi sa kanya.
"Damn it, liyah. After what you've done to us. How can you act like nothing happened? Like you didn't cheat on me." He said furiously that caught me off, guard. "Now, you can't say any words. Did the cat get your tongue? Where's the fierce woman, earlier?" He adds.
"Did I hear it, right? You call me, liyah?" I ask seriously that made him stop for seconds.
"Stop acting like you've amnesia. You look stupid."
"Just answer my question, Mr. Montefalco," I said.
"Now, you're calling me by my last name.... If I didn't know you. I'll buy your act.... You can't fool me, again, whore." He said that automatically move my hand to his face.
I slap him hard.
"Don't you dare call me that again, asshole." Galit na Sabi ko. "You don't know anything," I add before I turn my back to him.
Who are you, Zeke Montefalco? Who are you in my twin's life?
"Oh, the b***h is here." Sabi Ng babae na humarang sa akin. "Nice to see you, again, Zalliyah. After 8yrs. You finally show up yourself." Nakangising Sabi nito.
I didn't dare utter any words. I just look at her blankly.
"Bakit ka pa bumalik? Umaasa ka pa Rin ba na makuha mo sa akin si Zeke? Pagkatapos mo siyang lokohin, umaasa ka pa Rin ba na balikan ka Niya?" Tanong nito sa akin na nanadya. "Dream on, b***h. Zeke is now mine and I won't let anyone even you steal him away from me." Seryoso niyang sabi.
"That man is all yours," I said to her seriously. "But may I remind you. He's not a toy that you can claim yours anytime you want. Have a good night, miss..... Whoever you are..." Sabi ko at tumalikod sa kanya.
Zeke's POV
Sinundan ko siya Ng tingin paalis hanggang Hindi ko na Makita Ang kanyang likuran.
"That man is all yours."
"Why you did this to us, Zally? Why did you let this happen?" I whispered and looked up at the sky.
Bakit kahit niloko mo ako? I'm still affected by your presence. What did I do that made you treat me like this?
"Honey, kanina pa Kita hinahanap, nandito ka Lang pala"
"What you're doin' here, Mellisa?" I ask.
"Come on, Zeke. I miss you." She said and hug me.
I get her hands off to me.
"We're done. Where's in that part you can't understand?" I said to her seriously.
"I won't believe you. I know you still love me. Don't you miss us? Our bonding together."
"Stop being stubborn, Mellisa."
"Why? Is it because of that b***h?"
"Zalliyah has nothing to do with my decision."
"Ngayon Alam ko nah. You still love her. You still love that cheater."
"I'm tired." Malamig Kong Sabi sa kanya at tumalikod.
"Ahhhhhhhh......... I hate you! I hate that woman." Rinig Kong sigaw Niya. "I hate you, Zeke." Dagdag Niya na ikinailing ko.
Zanniyah's POV
I can't stop the tears from flowing down my face in front of her grave.
I didn't notice earlier that my feet bring me here.
"Damn it, liyah. After what you've done to us. How can you act like nothing happened? Like you didn't cheat on me."
"Who's that man in your life, liyah?" I ask.
"Is he the man who got you pregnant?" I add and closed my eyes.
Humangin Ng medyo may kalakasan Kaya napakapit ako sa suot Kong jacket.
"Ano ang nangyari 8 yrs. Ago? Bakit sinabi Ng lalaking iyon na niloko mo siya?"
"Bakit ka pa bumalik? Umaasa ka pa Rin ba na makuha mo sa akin si Zeke? Pagkatapos mo siyang lokohin, umaasa ka pa Rin ba na balikan ka Niya?"
"At bakit si Mellisa, ganoon din Ang sinasabi?" Tahimik Kong tanong.
I wiped my tears and sigh deeply.
"Ngayong mayroon na akong idea sa nangyari walong taon na Ang nakalipas at sa lalaking nakabuntis sa iyo. I'll keep my promise. If my suspicion is true. I'll make that conceited and irreverent guy pay. Ihigante kita sa kanya. Kung Ang Zeke Montefalcon na iyon Ang ama Ni Zaiden. Ipaparanas ko sa kanya Kung ano Ang pakiramdam na naiwan sa ere. Iparanas ko sa kanya Ang sakit na naramdaman mo Ng Hindi Niya kayo pinanagutan ng anak mo." Determinadong Kong pahayag.
Ilang minuto Ang nakalipas tumayo ako at nagpaalam Kay Liyah bago tumalikod.
When I get in the car my phone rang.
"Manang?"
"Hija, anong oras ka uuwi? Kaninan ka pa hinahanap ni Eze. Ayaw Niya matulog ulit. Ikaw Ang hinahanap."
"Nasaan siya?"
"Nandito sa aking tabi. Eze, Ang mommy mo." Rinig Kong Sabi ni manang sa kanya.
"Mommy" I smiled when I heard his sweet cutie voice.
"Bakit ayaw mong bumalik na matulog? Maayos na ba Ang pakiramdam mo?" Malambing Kong tanong sa kanya.
"Gusto ko Tabi Kita, mommy. Kailan ka ba uuwi?"
"Pauwi na ako. Pls. behave. Huwag mong bigyan Ng sakit sa ulo si manang." Pahayag ko.
"Good boy, po ako ngayon, mommy. Hintayin Po Kita. I love you po."
"I love you, too baby." Tugon ko sa kanya.
Nag-usap kami ng ilang minuto Ni manang bago ko Pinatay Ang tawag.
"I think I call this a night." Bulong ko sa aking isipan at nagmaneho pauwi.
