Until Our Paths Cross Again [COMPLETED]

Chapter 32

                     VENICE POV;

               I GOT A CALL earlier saying that he knows where my daughter. So I immediately go to my sons and told them that I know where's Kourtney. And now we heading the house of the caller. Nakasakay ako kay Aiden habang nakasunod naman samin yung tatlo.

Nang makarating na kami doon ay agad kaming bumaba. Squatter ang lugar na'to.

“Mom are you sure na dito yung address ng caller?” Aiden asked. Saka naman lumapit samin yung tatlo.

“Oo Im sure. Here he texted me his address” I said as I showed his my phone with the caller text on it

Agad kaming naglakad sa mismong bahay ng caller at kumatok. Agad naman kaming pinag bukasan ng isang binata.

“Sino po kayo?” tanong nito.

“Ikaw yung tumawag sakin right?”I said.

“Ayy opo, tuloy po kayo” he said.

Saka kami pinapasok sa bahay nila. Maliit lang, atsaka naman kami pinaupo sa isang kahoy na upuan. Naupo naman kaming tatlo nila Harie and Aiden at yung dalawa they insist na sila nalang daw ang tatayo. Kaharap namin ang mga magulang yata ng binata.

“So, where's my sister?” tanong agad ni Zion.

I looked at him.“Zion,”

“Sorry, I just want to see my sister” he said. So I looked back to the family.

“If you dont mind, pwede ba naming makita ang ana—”

Napahinto ako sa pagsasalita ng bumukas ang pintuan sa bandang likuran ng binatang tumawag sakin. At niluwal nun si Kourtney at nasa 6th grade na batang babae. She really here, and she's smiling.

“Jessy ang likot mo pala matulog HAHAHAHA” she said while laughing.

She's laughing for real. I stood up and ready to run towards her but Clarence walk toward her and hug her. When their aparts tiningnan ni Clarence si Kourtney na para bang inuusisa kung may sugat ba ito.

“Thanks god your here Kourtney” he said.

Kourtney looked at him frowning pero agad din naman yun nawala. Atsaka inalis ang pagkakahawak sakanya ni Clarence and smiled at us awkwardly.

Naupo sya sa isang bakanateng upuan. Pinag usapan na namin ang pera na ibabayad ko sa mga tumulong sakanya. And after that nagpaalam na sya sa mga ito na tila ba close na close sila.

“Hey Kourtney, how could you stay one night in like this place” tanong ni Harie habang naglalakad kami papunta sa may kotse.

“Tsk, it's not that bad to stay here and people here, they all nice” she said saka pumasok sa kotse ni Aiden. Nagsimula ng umandar ang kotse namin.

I looked at Kourtney but she just looking outside the window car. This is all my fault, kasalan ko lahat kung bakit nangyari yun sa anak ko. I didn't know that Karl was going to be that crazy. Ganito kasi yun, Me, Bianca, and Karl was a very close friends of all time. When we were in college he confessed me his feelings but I didn't feel the same way, so in short I rejected him. Until then, he do crazy thing to me, stalking me everywhere, making rumors about me.

Pero nagbago lahat when Dennis came and asked me to go out with him. A years after when we graduate, Bianca and Karl got married at aged of 21 and 23. Syempre pumunta ako kasal ng mga kaibigan ko yun eh. Akala ko pag kinasal na si Karl titigil na sya pero mas lalo syang nabaliw. He always sneaked to my room in the middle of the night through my window and do horrible things in my room while Im sleeping at nagpatuloy yan ng 3 araw. Nang makapag trabaho na ako sa company pati si Dennis na pagpasyahan naming magpakasal na. And then after a many years biniyayaan kami ng apat na anak.

And when I was pregnant to Kourtney. Karl secretly sneaked to our room. He told me he knew that I was pregnant and he going to give my daughter a miserable life. And I was scared that time, so I told Dennis about it and he confronted Karl but he just blackmailed my husband, that he can't do anything, just to do what he said.

Bianca come to me in the next morning that time and told me that she was also pregnant for a freaking twin. And I was happy, not until she said that it wasn't Karl child. So I asked her who but she never told me. And I told her everything what her husband done to me, and she said she going to tell Karl that she's pregnant para matigil na. At sawakas tumigil din si Karl. He focus his attention to his wife and his child. Hindi pa ni Bianca nasasabi kay Karl na hindi nya yun anak. Medyo matanda lang ng 2 months ang twin ni Bianca kesa sa anak kong babae.

And that's the reason why Karl doing this to my family. Ilang sandali pa ay bumaba na kami at pumasok sa loob.

“Kourtney, baba ka later kakain tayo ng lunch” I said.

“Im not hungry, thanks” she said.

She go straight to her room and lock her self there. 3 days come pero hindi parin lumalabas si Kourtney sa kwarto nya. I know she's mad at us right now. Iniisip ko lang kung may pagkain paba sa mini ref nya. Hindi na naming tinangkang pasukin kasi may kinabit naman kaming cctv sa kwarto nya kaya nakikita namin ang ginagawa nya doon. Palagi lang syang nakaupo malapit sa bintana habang may kung anong sinusulat. At nanonood ng tv.

Kaya ayos na sakin na makita ang anak kong ayos. Nagdadala ng pagkain si Estella para kay
Kourtney at sabi nya lang iwan sa labas pero pagbalik ni Estella nandoon parin. I want to hug my daughter na. I can't take this anymore. I really missed my daughter. Pati mga kaibigan nya ayaw nya man lang harapin kaya nagalala narin ang mga yun. I will explain to her everything she want to know.
