CHAPTER 09

ADRIAN

“Ano ba ang naging kasalanan nila sa inyo?”

I slammed my hands on the wooden table. They gave me a death stare but I don’t fucking care. “Pinatay nila kapatid mo!”

Not again. “It is an accident! Namatay din dun ang mama ni Leanna at ang kanyang pinsan!” I shouted back. Walang kasalanan si Lea dito, dapat hindi nila siya dinamay.

“Mas mabuti na lang na ikaw ‘yung namatay at hindi ‘yung kapatid mo!”

“At mas mabuti na hindi na lang kayo ang naging magulang ko!”

The madness inside my body just released. Gusto ko ng ilabas ang nararamdaman ko. “Kung ayaw niyo na maging ‘anak ako, ‘ay di sana pinalaya niyo na ako noon pa!”

“Nakakapagod, tangina.”

Hindi ko namalayan na naiyak na ako, why I am crying? They are not even worth my tears.

“Mark!” My parents cried and cried when we saw my brother’s dead body. Nakita ko rin ang dalawang babae na kasing edad ko then the girl’s parents. I didn’t blame them because it was just an accident.

Dun nagsimula ang mga mapapangit na panaginip ngunit ito ang aking realidad.

Mom slapped me so hard that my mouth bled. “You are such a disappointment!” I was only in elementary when it started and how come 19 over 20 is such a disappointment?

The moment the doctors said that he died, everything changed.

“Yaya, sila ba ‘yung kasama dun sa bangga?” I held my yaya’s hand while we walked on the green grass in the cemetery. I saw a beautiful blonde girl wearing a black dress. She was standing there with no emotions. She looks lost. Her eyes were wandering while everybody was crying.

The girl I saw at the funeral. I saw her again in the Adair’s residence. I just found out…she is Leanna Katarina Adair.

The daughter of one of the most powerful men in the country.

Naging ka-classmate ko siya ng highschool. Hindi ko siya pinapansin kais focus talaga ako sa pag-aaral baka masapok lang ako sa aking pag-uwi sa bahay. Nung college nagpakulay na siya ng buhok, her hair was black na.

She was my first crush, pero hindi ko sineryoso. I was still focusing on my college days nang nagka-girlfriend ako. Her name was Gianna, an engineering student in UST. She was an intelligent, independent, gorgeous woman but she was not loyal.

I saw her kissing another man in the club but I don’t care, I just want someone beside me when I am having a crisis. I was there for her but she was with another man when I needed her but someone changed me.

The girl who changed the order of my highlighters. The girl who always clean my table, bedroom and notes. Leanna Adair, my soon to be wife.

I often shouted at her because I am just so stressed about my work, advanced studies and my ‘not so loyal’ girlfriend but she is the one who can make my life at ease.

“Leanna, let’s go na.” She smiled at me and held my hands. How I never thought about her? She is the most incredible person in the world.

First crush always hits so hard. “Engage na ulit kayo!”

I controlled my happiness so I can see what Leanna's reaction would be.

“Will you marry me?”
