Twist of Fate

CHAPTER 24

Napatitig sya sa salamin at tinignan ang repleksyon nya doon. She couldn't help but to pity herself..

She doesn't look the same. Really far from what she is like.

She is indeed glowing up because of her pregnancy. She still looks as precious as she is before..

But, gone the happiness in her eyes.

She looks so plain. No emotions that can be found in her, but sadness. She wouldn't thought she'll encounter this. Seeing herself in so much agony..

Her stares went down to her tummy. She smiled bitterly and caressed it.

Thanks to her babies, she was able to feel alive again with the thought of them. Kahit papano ay nagkakaroon sya ng dahilan para ngumiti ulit.

She is dressed up because she's going to visit her ob-gyne. Today is the schedule of her check up.

She fixed her hair for the last time and went down stairs.

"Good noon, people!" Bati nya sa mga tauhan. Sabay sabay naman itong yumukod at binati sya pabalik.

Bahagyang natigilan ang mayordoma sakanya at nakangiting nilapitan sya. "Ang gandang buntis.. gutom ka na ba? Mag lunch ka na.."

Tumango sya at sumunod dito. Natigilan sya sandali dahil siya lang ulit ang manananghalian. Wala nanaman ang asawa nya at ang babae.

This is great! She's so much into being left out. Note the sarcasm please.

She just sighed and proceeded.. nasasanay nalang din naman sya sa ganoong set up. Nang maka upo ay agad syang kumain. Asikasong asikaso naman sya nito.

Nangmatapos ay binalingan nya ang mayordoma. "Manang, nasan po si Phoenix? Wala rin po yung babae. Magkasama nanaman po bang umalis?"

She has a hint that the two are together again. But she risk the little hope in her that maybe Phoenix is on work.

Tinitigan sya ng mayordoma na may awa sa mata nito.

And her little hope was robbed by it. Agad nyang iniwas ang paningin. She couldn't take that kind of stares. She can feel their sympathy. Because this always happens.. she is being left out.

Mukang nagtatagumpay ang babae sa pag kuha sa atensyon ng asawa nya.

Hindi nalang sya nag sasalita o tumututol man lang. She wants to. But it's Phoenix choice anyways.. wala syang magagawa.

"Ahm.. umalis sila anak. Check up yata ni Sheena. Sinamahan ni Phoenix.." Nag aalangan nitong banggit.

Napatango nalang sya at ngumiti ng mapait. It's her check up also. Mukang nakalimutan ng asawa nya iyon. Mukang nakalimutan sya nito.

She nibbled her lips and nodded. "Manang.. paki tawag nalang po si Junho. Kung ayos lang po."

Agad tumango ang matanda at ngumiti sakanya. "Oo naman. Just wait here then. Kumain ka pa ng marami.."

Tumango nalang sya dito at pinilit ngumiti. Bahagyang natigilan pa ang matanda at napatitig sa ngiti nya. Nawala ang ngiti nito sa labi at napa buntong hininga.

She just shifted her gazes on the food and grabbed some that she feels like eating.

"Madam. You're asking for me?"

Napabaling sya sa lalaki at ngumiti ng tipid dito. "Uhm.. yes. Are you up to something today? Perhaps?"

Umiling ito. "I am just waiting orders from young master."
