Deceiving You

Chapter 51

"How's everything, M?" Tanong niya rito nang sagutin nito ang tawag niya.

She heard him grunted before answering. "Well, good morning to you, Airish."

Napailing siya sa sinabi nito. "It's afternoon now, Magnus. Don't tell me, you just woke up? That's so not you." He didn't answered her at base sa naririnig niya naglalakad 'to. "Anyway, how was it?" Ulit niyang tanong dito. "Magnus, answer me. Ano bang ginagawa mo?"

"Shit." Then the line went dead.

Napatitig na lang siya sa cellphone na hawak niya habang tinitingnan ang pangalan ni Magnus. Anong trip ng lalaki na 'yon? Kinakausap ng maayos biglang mawawala. Tsk.

"Ate, let's go?" Tawag ni Serenity sa kan'ya.

She sighed before nodding to Serenity. Sabay silang bumaba sa basement para kamustahin ang mga bisita nila. Pagbukas pa lang ng pinto, ramdam na niya agad ang pag-welcome ng mga ito.

"Airish! Fuck you! Pakawalan mo ako rito! You bitch!"

"Airish! Let us go!"

"You brat! Bakit mo kami kinukulong dito!?"

She stifled a laugh. Gusto man niyang matawa pero hindi puwede. Serious, Airish. You need to be serious. It's not the time for some jokes. Kahit mukhang clown ang nasa harapan mo ngayon.

Sitting in front of her are this so called 'small family that wrecked everything.' Maayos naman ang itsura nila maliban na lang sa sabog nitong mga buhok at stressed na mga mukha.

"We're only starting yet, mukha na kayong nasabugan ng bomba." She stopped then laughed. "Ops. Oo nga pala. Nasabugan nga pala si Regina."

"You bitch! Pinaniwala mo akong gusto akong kausapin ni Ashur! Walang hiya ka!" Sigaw ni Regina.

"Oh, come on, Regina. Hindi ko kasalanan na uto-uto ka. You willingly go with him. May utak ka naman pero hindi mo ginamit, so, not my fault, my dear cousin."

"Bitch!" Regina muttered.

"What do you want, Airish?" Sabat ng ama nito. "Let me guess, your parents?" Then he started laughing.

"Actually, no." Sagot niya na ikinatigil ng tawa nito. "Hindi ko naman kailangan ang sagot niyo kung nasaan ang magulang namin. We can find them. Napakaliit ng mundo para hindi namin sila mahanap. And also, you know me, hindi ako titigil hanggat hindi sila nahahanap." Bumaling siya kay Regina. "And oh, Regina, your husband's been looking for you. Do you want to go home?" She smirked.

Regina's eyes widened as fears came across her face. "Wh-at?"

She hummed. "I said, would you like to go home?"

"N-n-o."

"But, why? Isn't he your husband? You should go home with him." Tiningnan niya ang mag-asawa na bakas ang katanungan sa mga mukha. "Hindi ba tama ako? She should go, right?"

"Regina, go. Go home with your husband. Hayaan mo na kami ng daddy mo rito."

"Your mom's right. Go, Regina." Bumaling ito sa kan'ya. "You'll let her go, right? 'Wag mo nang idamay ang anak namin."

She shrugged her shoulders. "Of course. Kaya nga tinatanong ko si Regina, 'di ba? Kaso, ang tanong, uuwi ba siya?"

"Uuwi si Regina, Airish." Ang tita niya ang sumagot. "Uuwi ka, Regina."
