Psycho...or not? (SiP Season 2)

Thea's POV

"Will mama hug me na mom?"

Napalingon ako sa tatlong taon gulang na anak ko.

Gen called Zoe mama and me her mom.

"Yes of course sweetie. She will kiss you too." Pampalubag loob ko.

Genevive is like my kuya's carbon copy, his female version sabi nga ng iba.

That's why Zoe can't stand looking at her and Gen sometimes feel it and she become sad.

"Dad... Can I borrow Tito Ches's laptop?" Tanong niya sa Daddy niya.

Lumingon sa akin si Shon, I just nod at him.

"Yes. Yes baby. Sure will!" Sabi niya.

Shon and I get married three years ago. Before Gen was born. Literally before, dahil saktong sakto na pagkatapos ng kasal ay nanganak ako.

"We will be landing in 10 minutes Mam." Tinanguan ko ang steward.

I look at the clouds.

There are so many thing happened in the past five years, many things change and we lose many things too.

After halos 2 years tumigil kami sa paghahanap ng katawan ni Kuya, which Zoe didn't know that there are no body found. She didn't attend the memorial and even the first, second, third, fourth year death anniversary. She didn't visit Kuya.

I think she is still in pain. I know how they love each other especially Zoe.

She loved my Kuya and her baby.

Yes well, after almost three months we found out that she is pregnant.

Ako pa nga ang nakaalam because she doesn't care for herself na noong mga time na yon.

Pinilit ko syang magpa check up sa OB and we found out that she is pregnant, but after a month she lost her baby.

After then, she became colder. Sinisisi niya nanaman ang sarili. I know she shouldn't be. But who am I to stop her? She won't listen to me anyway.

"Welcome to ***** Airport. Thank you for flying with us!"

Tumayo na kami at kinuha ang gamit bago lumabas ng plain.

Pagbaba pa lang ng hagdan ay humampas agad ang mainit na hangin sa balat ko.

"Aaaaah. Philippines. How I missed you!" Sigaw ni Shon.

Inabot ko naman ang tenga niya at piningot ito.

"Ah! Aw baby naman!" Angal nya.

"Yung anak mo pinagdadala mo ng gamit nya?" Kunot noong tanong ko.

Gen is holding her bag, which is puro toys ang laman.

"Eh hayaan mo na bag nya naman yan! Para matuto ano ka ba." Pangiti ngiting sabi niya.

Inambahan ko ng suntok si Shon ugok kaya agad nyang kinuha ang kamay ng anak ko at naglakad papunta sa kotseng naghihintay sa amin.

Sumunod ako sa kanila.

"Uy pakner!" Narinig kong sabi ni Shon.

Bumaba si Chester mula sa driver's seat at sinalubong ang anak namin ng yakap.

"Hi Gen. Ninong missed you!" Sabi ni Chester bago halik halikan ang anak ko.

"Hoy! Wag mo ngang ginaganyan ang anak ko." Agaw naman ni Shon kay Gen.

"Gago! Sempre ninong ako nyan!" Angal maman ni Chester.

Sabay ko silang pinagsapak kaya nasapo nila ng sabay ang mga ulo nila.

"Yung mga bunganga nyo, nakikinig yung anak ko." Sabi ko.

Pumasok na ako sa kotse saka niyaya si Gen na umupo sa tabi ko.

"Tara na tara na. Inaantay na kayo ng iba." Sabi ni Chester at pumasok na sa Driver's seat bago ito paandarin.

Nagsimula na naming tahakin ang mansyon, sa bahay ni Kuya, kung nasaan si Zoe ngayon.

"So, how is she?" Tanong ni Shon.

Nakuha naman non ang atensyon ko. Alam kong si Zoe ang pinaguusapan nila.

"Still the same. Same rude, cold and sad." Sagot naman ni Chester.

"Everything is good in the group?" Tanong ulit ni Shon.

"The group is always on stand by as per Z's order and the twins and Cal is doing a good job managing the others." Sagot ulit ni Chester.

Our Group is still alive, masyadong malaki ang organisasyon ni Kuya para maipawalang bahala ni Zoe.

We talked about it like 2 years ago and she says she will protect everything that my brother left to her, even I. That's why she asked me, ah no she ordered me to leave the group and live my own life, with Shon.

That, I thank her for giving me the freedom to choose and now I will give her freedom too.

Napahinga ako ng malalim nang huminto ang sasakyan.

"Here we are." Nakangiting sabi ni Chester.

Lumabas kami ng kotse.

Last time I saw this house was 2 years ago and almost 6 years when I saw this house blooming and happy. Now, it's just a house, with a lot of memories.

"Welcome home!" Sinalubong kami nila Jim at Jam.

This twins is so sweet. Before medyo ilag sila sa amin but as time goes by nagiging malapit sila sa amin.

"Tito Ja!" Gen then run towards Jam, whom she adores more than Jim.

"Pa hug din si Tito Ji." Singit ni Jim at nakiyakap sa dalawa.

"Hi." Caled hug me and motion me to come inside.

Chester and Shon take our things upstairs.

Napatigil ako sa pinto at lumingon sa loob ng kwarto.

"Hi Althea. Welcome home." Samara kiss my cheeks and hug me.

"Thank you." Sagot ko.

I roam my eyes and stop it to the girl who is walking down the stairs.

Gen get off her Tito Ja and walk towards the end of the stairs.

"Hi mama. I'm home." I heard Gen greeting her.

Silence filled the house as she look at my daughter with sadness in her eyes.

Minutes passed and she hasn't say anything yet. My daughter still looking at her, smiling.

I was about to come towards them when Shon, my husband held my hand.

I look at him and he just shakes his head and look at the two girl who's looking at each other.

I smile shen I saw Zoe sit down and smile a bit.

"Hello Genevive. Welcome home." She speak, at last.

Gen jump into her and hug her tight.

"I missed you mama!" I heard my daughter sob.

Tinakpan ko ang bibig ko to stop my tears from falling.

At last. At last she hold my daughter, she spoke with her.

Zoe look at my daughter for almost a minute, my daughter Gen, who really look like my brother.

Nakita kong hinawakan niya ang kamay ni Gen at naglakad palapit sa amin.

"Hi Thea. Welcome home." She greeted me.

The tears that I am stopping a while ago started to fall and I can't stop but spread my arms and hug her.

I missed her, I missed Zoe, I missed my sister-in-law, I missed my bestfriend.
