Sitio Series 3: Scheming List

Chapter 31

Genevorld

“What do you mean, nay?” Confusion drowned me into bits, “nay, naman..” It came out as a whisper. Nanay wipe her tears, “mabuti pa magpahinga ka muna,” inakay ko ito papunta sa kanyang kama. “Babantayan kita katulad ng lagi mong ginagawa dati..”

It felt inexplicable my own biological mother's actions and feelings. Like a grudge that's been buried for to long and now.. It was triggered.

Nanay shooked her head before laying down, “a-anak ko...” She reached my face and held it tightly that I grimaced. “H-Huwag k..kang m-magtitiwala s-sakanya.. D-D..Dorothy a-anak ko..” I hushed and calmed her down, thankfully she fell asleep.

Clenching my shirt, I took a deep breath. My mind is on turmoil I cannot comprehend on my mother's words all I wanted to do is to ask mama Karina, there's something else.

Something else happened on the past and now, affecting the present.

I'm slowly caressing my nanay’s hair like she always does when I'm younger. It seems like our roles switched the way it used too. Hesitating, I began to type a text message to mama Karina with a frowned. Sinabi kong baka hindi muna ako uumuwi ng ilang araw dahil napagpasiyahan kong manatili muna sa hospital at pagtuunan ng pansin si nanay, after all I know she needs me.. She needs her only daugher to recover fast. I hit the send button before proceeding to call Gremory.

Ano kayang ginagawa niya ngayon? Sobrang busy niya ba?

Five times attempt of calling him was failed, his line was busy indicating his on the other call. Hindi naman ganito dati ah? Hindi rin siya masyadong gumagamit ng social media because for him it's a waste of time unless his friends have something to talk about on their group chat.. Ano nga ulit ang name ng gc nila?

Ah, the former name was Alpha Baby Bra Dora Squad Taga Puksa Ng Masasama Let's the war begin and was change to Kulto Ng Mga Makikisig na Adan Na Pamatay Ang Kisig Itaga Mo Man Sa Underwear Ni Marites

Yep, walang kwentang group chat name. Hindi ko alam kung si Xerxes ba o si Rossweisse ang nagpangalan dahil malabong si Gremory. Paano ko nga ba nalaman ang tungkol sa gc nila? Pinapakita kasi sa akin ni Gremory minsan bigla nalang siyang tumatawa tuwing nasa kwarto kami’t magkatabing nakasandal sa bed rest niya. Somehow I felt Gremory is trusting me even though we had a rough start.

“Maybe I'll just pay him a visit when nanay is okay,” I uttered on the wind. The line between missing him was thin that made me even more curious on what's happening on his life.

Wala akong maayos na tulog at pahinga dahil na rin sa pagiging balisa ni nanay nitong mga nagdaang araw na binabantayan ko siya magmula noong ingkwentro namin. She was paranoid for a reason she can't tell me. I asked her numerous times but nanay ended up telling me not to trust mama Karina. There was unsaid words, something that was left tainted with the agony of past.

Itching to know the truth I planned to confront mama Karina, hoping that she'll tell the exact answers on their puzzle. Nasa harapan na ako ng apartment ni Gremory nang madatnan ang isang lalaking bagot na bagot na nakasandal sa may pader. I think he's 5'8 of a height a bit taller than me, his skin was fair, his eyes were round but not that big, his eyes were brown like Gremory's, the guys nose is pointed like a ruler and has a freckles.

Sino ito?

The guy maybe noticed my presence that's why he straighten his back and stared at me before waving his hand like we knew each other. “Kumusta?" He asked with so much enthusiasm.
