Chapter 41

"But I think I look different from everyone. Asha has green eyes like Daddy, Kuya Fifth has dark eyes like Mommy, while mine are hazel brown and monolid. Kanino ako nagmana kung ganoon?"

One of what I thought as my greatest insecurity back when I was younger isn't even insecurity at all, it's our differences.

Half German but look like Asian with monolid eyes, Mom doesn't even have this trait. How can I not figure it out that soon?

"You're so annoying. You really like to put yourself on places you shouldn't be. I hate you so damn much!"

"Why are you so angry at me? I didn't do anything wrong!"

"You don't have to do anything wrong Coleen, your existence is all wrong in the very first place.."

I know Asha never liked me, but to tell me that she hates me that easy and straightforward? Now I know the reason.

"Shut up! I pity Asha for having a sister like you. Maybe this is why she has been so miserable! I don't want to be like her so get this straight to your head Coleen, hinding-hindi kita matatanggap sa pamilyang ito. Everyone here is blinded by your sparks that they can't see the smoke coming from you. But I can see it, as much as how Asha can see it. At hindi ako papayag na masisira ang pamilyang ito dahil sayo!"

And even Heather's indifference is now justified.

"What's your problem with me Asha?"

Sumeryoso ang mukha niya sa tanong ko. She stepped closer, her eyes are full of hate and all. She smiled wickedly, "I believe I already told you before, your existence is my problem." She smiled at me.

"You don't know why, right? And no one's telling you why. That should mean something right?"

"I said stop it!"

"I pity you too, you remain clueless for years. It must be frustrating--"

"I said stop it!"

My tears fell miserably as the memories rush vividly in my head. This is why Asha hated me to the pits of hell. I'm not her sister, we're not siblings. I took away everything from her. Her life as the youngest Montgomery, her life as the unica hija, I stole everything from her.

And what now? What should I do now? Now that I found out about this? Anong gagawin ko?

The searing pain in my chest rendered me speechless. Hindi ako tunay na anak.. not a single drop of my blood belongs to the Montgomery.

Bumukas ang pintuan at wala na akong lakas para magpanggap pa na wala akong alam. I'm so hurt, I think I can die of pain right now. I haven't even processed everything in my head properly.

"It's okay Glace, we can--" Mommy's eyes widened when she saw me crying while holding the two birth certificates in my hand. Naibaba niya agad ang hawak na cellphone.

"Col?" Namutla siya.

My tears are falling endlessly. Ni hindi ako makapagsalita. Nagbabara ang lalamunan ko at naninikip ang dibdib.

"Baby.." agad siyang lumapit para kunin ang mga papel sa akin pero ano pang silbi 'non kung nakita ko na?

Napailing ako, "I can't believe this.."
