Chapter 46: Cold as Ice

Chapter 46:
Cold as Ice

ORVILLE

I don't know where I should focus my attention..

To Tita Cherry who's telling us the truth..

Or with our keeper who keep on typing something on his laptop.

In the end, mas pinagtuonan ko ng pansin ang pagk-kwento ni Tita Cherry kung paano nga ba napunta sa kanya si Ice.. or si Snow.

"I was pregnant when Sun contacted me." Pauna niyang salita. Nakita ko ang bahagyang pag-iling ni Mr. Edison.

"Yes, with Wilbur." Aniya.

I don't know kung ako lang ang nakarinig no'n o narinig rin nilang kasama ko sa iisang sasakyan.

Mr. Edison is the one driving the car. Na sa tabi niya si Anteros na nakatutok ang baril sa kanyang sintido just like how our jeeper instructed. Sir Harris is really pissed and cannot be pleased right now. Crap. We can't melt his cold heart.

Sa passenger's seat, nakaupo si Tita Cherry at si Sir Harris samantalang ako ang nasa pinakalikod.

"Stop talking Autotrophs and just drive!" Marion na wika ni Sir Harris.

Tita Cherry cleared her throat.

"Napagdesisyunan naming magtago ni Wilbur at wag ng umasa sa Solar when Sun found us. She was pregnant too.. and like me, she's almost on due." Pagpatuloy niya ng kwento. "She told me, malakas ang feeling niya na kukunin ng Autotrophs ang anak niya sa kanyang sinapupunan. Kaya siya nakipagkasundo sa akin na ipagpalit namin ang aming mga anak."

Gulat ako sa sinabi ni Tita Cherry. I can't imagine how cruel that decision to the both of them. It's their child.. not just a thing we can bargain easily.

"At first, hindi ako pumapayag but then.. something happened and Wilbur end up missing while I was left alone. That's when I realized how important Sun's decision. Until nangyari ang kanyang kinatatakutan.. Ilang oras pa lang ng manganak siya, nagsimula ang sunog sa ospital. She knew, Her husband can't make it.. she wanted you to protect your eldest. It's fine with her.. She tried to protect both of the twin but the Autotrophs manage to take the baby boy.. They took Blade Carion away.. Snow was the only one left with her."

Napayuko ako lalo na't parang dinudurog ang puso ko habang pinapakinggan ang kwento ni Tita Cherry.

"You were busy protecting your eldest while Keeper Droco is busy fighting the Autotrophs.. that's when I enter the scene. Everyone thought that Sun died along with Snow during the explosion but the truth is, I manage to help them out of that hospital.

Along the way.. habang tumatakas kami, naramdaman ko ang pagsakit ng tyan ko.. and I gave birth the same day as Sun. We are both crying.. we are both exhausted. Until.. we decided to swapped our child with our own reasons. She wanted Snow to be free from Autotrophs eyes. She thought, it will be effective that she's with me. She changed her name into Izen Caramel and we called her Ice for a reason that she look exactly like you, Dion. While I, I want my son to be away from the Autotrophs too. That's why I choose to do that too. Magtatago si Sun at nagdesisyon siyang mananatiling patay sa mata ng parehong organisasyon. So I let my child to be with her. Hindi nila magagawang tuntunin kung na saan man si Sun because surely, they will try to find someone with a baby girl. Kasi na sa kanila ang lalaking anak ni Sun kaya hindi nila magagawang paghinalaan na siya si Sun dahil lalaki ang anak na papalakihin niya. While I.. with Snow that we believe to be Ice, we lived at peace for years. I manage to love her and raised her as my real daughter at kahit anong mangyari, kahit hindi sa kin nagmula si Snow, siya pa rin ang Ice na pinalaki ko at inalagaan ko't tinuring na tunay na anak."
