Concealing the Truth Series 1: Keeping Away The Engineer's Triplets

Chapter 20 - Past XIII

Cassie's Pov
(Christelle's younger sister)

Today is exactly nine months na simula nang umalis si Ate Christelle sa bahay at nine months na ding magka-away ang parents ko. Actually, it's like nine months na ding inaaway ng Mommy ko ang Daddy ko, she never give my dad any attention since that day happened and ever since that, Dad continuously asking mom's forgiveness but she kept on  refusing.

Actually, I'm missing my Ate so much already. I wanted to see her, it's been a while since we talked or since I saw her, the last time I had my communication with her is the day that Dad disowned her. I am only hearing things about her from her friends and I still thankful about it.

My mind went back to reality when my phone rings.

It's a call from Ate Tiara. I picked it up and answered it.

"Hello, Ate Tiara?"

[Hello, my dearest Cassidy. How are you?]

"I'm good, Ate.  I miss my Ate Christelle, though." I sigh "How about you ate, how are you?"

[I'm good, too. Thanks for asking.] There's a hint of smile on her voice,

[How's tito and tita pala?I almost forgot to ask] she chuckles.

"Ayun, still the same. Galit pa din si Mommy kay Dad." I sigh

I lay on my bed and look at my ceiling.

"I mean.. kahit ako, I won't deny that I am also a bit mad to dad for what he did to my Ate. He shouldn't do that t." I rant on Ate Tiara

[I'm sorry but I agree with you. It's like he choose that intangible and useless family name over her daughter..]

There is a hint of hesitance on her voice while saying that, it's like she's weighing her sentence carefully.

[Anyway, I called just to inform you that your sister already gave birth. Hope you can visit her or even just talk to her thru Skype.]

My mouth left open because of shock.

Nanganak na si Ate?! Omygii!

"Really, Ate Tiara?! How is she?! How's the baby?! Are they okay?! When did Ate Christelle give Birth?!" Sunod sunod kong tanong kay Ate Tiara

She laugh a bit because of my so many question, "relax, girl. One question at a time.] She said, [first, your sister is okay and nagpapahinga na s'ya sa room n'ya. Second, the babies are okay, they are healthy and they are so pogi and maganda. Lastly, kaninang 3 am lang nanganak ang ate mo kaya until now tulog pa s'ya due to exhaustion.] She answered every question of mine

"Thank God, she's okay--- wait.. wait.. Ate Tiara, did you just say babies? Ate Christelle have twins?!"

[Yes, I did said babies but.. they are not twins.]

"I don't get it.."

[Your sister have no just two but three babies. In short, she has triplets. A cutie patotie handsome and beautiful triplets.] I can hear her smiling while explaining it to me

I scream due to excitement. Omygii! Triplets! My Ate have triplets! I have three pamangkins! Omygii! I'm so kinikilig!

"Omygii! Omygii! Is that's true?!" Excited na tanong ko kay Ate Tiara after kong magtitili sa tuwa.
