Chapter 23

Confess

"Go on answer that call. Mukhang importante eh," I persuaded Reeve to answer when I saw that he's about to choose the end call.

His phone keeps on ringing and he was just staring at it no plans on answering the call of Joana so I persuaded him to answer it.

Tinignan niya muna ako bago niya sinagot ang tawag. When he answers it, I could hear the voice of Joana nagging to him kung bakit matagal ang kaniyang pagsagot sa tawag.

I rolled my eyes and turn my back at him. Nakita niya ang pagrolyo nang aking mga mata kaya bago pa ako nakatalikod sa kaniya at nakita ko ang pagtaas ng isang kilay niya.

Wow, hindi pa rin nagbabago ang babaeng 'yon. She's still a spoiled brat just like when we were young. I bet her the best father spoils her too much that up 'till now ay dala-dala pa rin ang ugali na 'yon.

Pinagpatuloy ko ang aking ginagawa at hinayaan si Reeve na sagutin ang tawag ng demonyo kong kapatid. Yes, Joana is my half-sister, unfortunately. Some unfortunate events happened when I was young and that includes her.

"Why?" Reeve said on his phone call na walang ka gana-gana as if talking to her bored him.

Napabaling ako sa kaniya dahil nasa tabi niya pa rin ako ng sinagot niya ang tawag. I thought he would keep a distance from me to have some privacy yet he still stays by my side.

I don't want to eavesdrop on whatever they are talking about so I just take an initiative to keep my distance from him. Besides, I don't want also to hear the voice of my pabidang evil sister.

Whenever I had a moment with him Joana will always interrupt us. The last time that we saw each other was when she kissed Reeve in the school canteen. Hindi ko akalain na hanggang ngayon sa apartment ang lakas pa rin ng kamandag niya at nang iistorbo.

Speaking of that kiss up until now ay wala pa rin akong pinagsabihan sa nasaksihan ko no'n.

Tinapos ko lang ang lahat ng kailangang hugasan na mga pagkain at pinunasan ang mga kamay. Pagkatapos no'n ay naglakad na ako papunta sa salas at iniwan si Reeve sa kusina.

My eyes landed on the big wall clock on my wall and it was 9:00 am already. I haven't eaten breakfast yet, hindi ko alam kay Reeve kung nakakain na siya or hindi pa.

Nararamdaman ko na rin ang gutom ngunit ayaw kong ma istorbo si Reeve kaya naman ay nanahimik na lang ako sa salas. I will just wait for him 'till it ends.

I wonder what they are talking about. To be honest I never expected that Joana and Reeve know each other and what worst was they were ex-lovers. Why does everytime that I get to meet new people everything was connected? Una, si Gwyn at Christoph tapos ngayon si Joana naman.

Is this the world telling me that I can't run away from the past? That I should confront it? Lahat ng mga tao sa nakaraan ko ay bumabalik at tila si Reeve ang kanilang tulay para tuluyan nang silang makatawid.

Fate has its way of playing on me, huh.

If I didn't meet him would it still the same or it will change. Would I meet them again or not?

All I know for now is that Reeve is the bridge. Minsan na rin pumasok sa isipan ko na para bang kilala ako ni Reeve. Everything was connected around him.

I watched him in the kitchen still talking to her. He looks annoyed now because his brows furrowed and the crinkles on his forehead were evident. Huminga siya nang malalalim tila kinakalma ang sarili. I couldn't hear their conversation clearly but seeing him looking so annoyed now is enough to know that Joana did tell her something.
