A story that never been told

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Minutes passed and Ninang is just watching the two of us. Akala ko pumasok na siya sa loob ng bahay.

"What's happening here?"a woman ask, she wears a sundress and a fliplops. Hair in a bun and you can see her perfect face. Napakaputi niya, di ko alam kung puti ba iyon o dahil maputla siya.

She looks like a model.

"Wala naman mars, ipagpapaalam ko lang sana itong anak mo, isasama ko sa bahay. Together with Tri"

Anak?

Ako, si Ninang at iyong si Shini lang naman ang tao dito, so si Shini ang anak niya.

Kawawa naman tong nanay niya paniguradong sakit sa ulo itong si Shini. Mukha pa namang anghel ung nanay niya.

"This is Destrian already. Wow! You've grown up already"she hug me tight.

"Tsk"he side comment.

I didn't mind him.

"Kilala mo po ako?"I ask when she finally let me go.

"Of course hija. I'm a close friend of your Dad"

Nahagip ng tingin ko si Shini, I saw him rolled his eyes at us.

"O siya tara na mga bata may ipapakita ako sa inyo"

"Bakit pinaalam mo pa ang anak ko, pwede mo namang nakawin to"she tousled his hair.

I see his adjustment. He bent a little para maabot ng mama niya ang buhok niya.

"Mars kilala ko ang anak mo hindi yan sasama lalo kung hindi ikaw ang nagsabi"

"Right, so mag-enjoy ka dun ha Shini, wag magpapasaway sa Tita mo"

I followed Ninang when she go to the fence leading to the shortcut. I felt his presence on my back following us.

"Alam nyo bang yang mga nasa isip ninyo at inilagay sa isip ninyo ay hindi totoo. Mga kathang isip na kayo mismo ang humabi. Kaunting impormasyon dinugtungan ninyo ng mahabang storya"biglang sabi ni Ninang habang naglalakad ako. I think nababaliw na si Ninang.

"What do you mean Ninang?"I ask because every word she said doesn't make sense.

"Do you ever believe what your parent says to you?"

"Of course not. Why? Because whatever they say it can never erase the fact that my mother is in love with this woman's father"he pointed at me. Infairness iyon na ang pinakamahabang sinabi. But wait... His mom is inlove with Papa.

I never heard that unless she is the ex that was the origin of my name.

"What's your mother name"

"Shenie, why?"

I shook my head. Ang layo naman ng Shenie sa Destrian diba. So hindi siya yun.

"How 'bout you Tri, anu ung kwentong ginawa ng isip mo?"

"My mother lured Papa, that's what they always saying. Hindi lang siya basta basta kwento kase totoo yun"galing mismo sa bibig ni Papa. Kaya alam ko na totoo iyon.

"Did you ever listen to their stories or you just hanging on the small details na ayaw nyo nang pakawalan"

"Anu pang sense nito Tita. Everything is already finished, we can't do anything about it"

Tama naman siya. Ninang really doesn't make sense.

She stopped walking and faced us. We've already infront of her house.

"What if I tell you, that everything you know is just a fragment, it may be the truth but not the whole. Would you believe me?"

Seconds passed I didn't talk and even him didn't answer. For me, I didn't know how because I still believe to what I know, I didn't know what's the truth, ung mga alam ko ba na kwento na galing pa sa mga kamag-anak at sa parents ko o ung sinasabi ni Ninang.
