She Changed [ONGOING]

SC: Chapter 47

"You may be raised by them but you cannot hide the fact that Damon's blood are running in your veins!"

Di makapaniwalang tumingin ako sa kaniya. That words! He looks like he's just waiting for this time to tell me the truth.

The truth.

There's no truth! Walang katotohanan ang mga sinasabi niya sa akin. It is just his way para mapatay ako. I should not fall in his trap.

"Do you think I'll fall for it? You are a motherfvcker liar asshole! You are just telling me that para pabagsakin ako. Why? You cannot defeat me in fighting so you used a words para madistract ako and you will take that chance para magawa ang plano mo! Well plan but it didn't work!" Sabi ko at tinignan siya sa mata. 

But his eyes are telling me that I should believe him. His eyes are begging and his eyes looks like longing for something... for someone.

"Believe it or not, I'm not here to fight. I'm here to tell you everything." Sabi niya. Binaba niya ang hawak niyang baril at umatras palayo sa akin. Dahan dahan naman akong tumayo habang hindi inaalis ang tingin sa kaniya.

"Should I believe you or not?" 

I deserve the truth. If it's really the truth.

"You should."

Iniwas ko ang tingin ko sa kaniya at dinampot ang kutsilyong hawak ko kanina. Napatingin siya sa kamay ko pero binalik din sa mukha ko.

"You can kill me after I tell you everything." Sabi niya. "It's also my promised to myself." Dagdag niya pa at mapaklang tumawa.

"Speak!" 

Bigla siyang sumeryeso at yumuko. 

"Fifty years ago. Damon is the strongest mafia in the world. They are just living peacefully and happily. No one can defeat them and they are not bad as what others think about them." He said and looked away.

"Because it was the truth. They are evil!" Sabi ko pero hindi niya pinansin ang sinabi ko.

"5 years later. May sumulpot na mafia and they tried to steal the highest rank and they did. They killed all Damon's family, everything. And then fifteen years ago. I was seventeen that time when Damon's tried to get back the position but they failed." Sabi niya at nararamdaman kong nagka-crack ang boses niya.

Fifty years ago and forty-five years ago. So it was really a lie. I mean I'm not believing the truth yet but how come the stories are different? Parang baliktad. Ang kinuwento ng kaharap ko ay parehas ng kinuwento ni old man but both was different.

One thing for sure. One of them is lying.

"Your memory of us disappeared. That's why you couldn't remember us, even a single thing. even your childhood bestfriend." Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya. Who's childhood bestfriend? Mine? Si Eylense at Andria--

"Erin undergo a face transplant. Kumuha siya ng mukha ng isang bangkay na kamukha nung Andrialle. I told her not to but she insist." Tumawa siya na parang naaalala ang bagay na iyon. "Erin is two years older than you. She said she misses you, and she's ready to do bad things as long as she's close with you. She did not kill the real Andrialle, nalaman lang niya na nawawala ito kasama nung Eylense at kinuha niya ang pagkakataon na iyon. You already knew that both Andrialle and Eylense you saw are fake."

Erin?

'Lauren! We're going to be bestfriend forever'

Napahawak ako sa ulo ko nang bigla itong kumirot. What's that? Who's Lauren?

"You don't remember anything kasi inalis na nila ang alaala mo. But there's part of me na sana naaalala mo pa kahit pitong taon ka palang nung huli tayong nagkita. Hindi mo alam kung ilang taon kong hinintay ang pagkakataon na ito para makita ka? Gustong gusto kong sabihin kay Daddy na, heto ka na nasa harapan ko, malaki na at lumaking matapang." Sabi niya. I saw tears flowing down in his eyes.

"I'm happy because you're standing in front of me. Iyon na lang ang huling hiling ko e." Sabi niya pa. Kinapa ko ang mukha ko at naramdaman kong basang basa ang mukha dahil sa mga luhang tumutulo.

Am I crying? What the hell? I don't even know what he's saying. Pero bakit umiiyak ako? Parang nadudurog ang puso ko sa mga naririnig ko. 

"What happened to your father?" I asked.

"Fifteen years ago when they decided to get back the position but they failed. He chose to give up. Not because of they are weak but because of the pain he's bearing. Father back out from the war because you are taken away from us---"

"Stop! You are not telling the truths anymore. Sinisiraan mo ang pamilya ko sa akin. You can't do that. Kill me and it will end everything." Sabi ko sa kaniya.

"I am telling the truth!!! I was seventeen that time and you were seven when they take you away from us. That's when father accepted the defeat because they threaten us that they will kill you. We have no choice but to retreat. Our father died because of heart attack and I promised him that I will tell you everything and it will end everything."

"Telling me the truth will end everything? You're joking!" Mapaklang sagot ko.

"I won't force you to believe me but it's the whole truth!" Sabi niya. "Those people outside, my man. They were trained very well and they were very strong but you know why they look like weak when they are infront of you?" Nakatingin lang ako sa kaniya at naghihintay ng kadugtong. "They devoted themselves to you. You are their queen and they want to believe that if they were killed by you, it was an honored."

Umiling-iling ako at sinusubukang intindihin ang mga nalaman ko. Kahibangan! There's a part of me telling me that I should believe it and there's a part of me telling me not. Sumasakit ang puso ko sa tuwing tumitingin ako sa kaniya. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganito? 

"I don't want to believe you but I also want to believe you." Sabi ko sa kaniya. Nginitian lang niya ako at tumango ng isang beses.

"It's fine. I understand. You lost your memory. Atleast nasabi ko sa iyo."

"What's my name?"

"Lauren..." Nakangiting sabi niya. " Lauren Faye Damon. Damon!"

"I'm Lauren?" Tumango naman siya.

"I miss you, our princess." Nakangiting sabi niya. Hindi ko alam pero napangiti na din ako at pakiramdam ko ay ang saya saya ko.

Lalapit na sana siya sa akin nang may marinig akong putok ng baril.

*BANG*

"NOOOOOO!!!!"
