In Love Series 3: Completely

Kabanata 34

"Alam ba ito ni Ishmael D? Magkasama kayo kanina 'di ba?" It was Ate Agatha who spoke. Mariin ang titig niya sa akin. "Alam niya na narito ka sa Maynila?"

Marami pa silang naging tanong sa pag-quit ko. Wala naman akong narinig na pagtutol kahit pa noong sinabi ko na isa si Ishmael sa mga dahilan kung bakit ako aalis. Si Daddy ay tahimik lamang at hindi nakikialam. The three idiots, si Calum lang iyong nagtanong pero hindi ko naringgan ng pagtutol.

But I know better. Later, I know they will bombard me in my room and ask me questions about my quitting. The three idiots will never be the three idiots if they won't meddle.

"Hindi po, Ate. He doesn't know anything about this... Huwag mo munang sabihin..."

"And when will you tell him?"

"I don't know po. He's still busy so..."

"Busy of what? Busy taking care of Criselda Madrid?"

"Calum," saway agad ni Mommy sa aking kapatid. "Let your sister deal with this."

Tumiklop si Calum. Hindi rito ito matatapos alam ko. The three idiots will surely won't let their questions slide.

"The girl was harassed, Calum. It was Ishmael's fans." Si Ate Agatha ulit. "Kailangan siya roon."

"At si Duchess hindi?" Si Elvis naman ngayon.

"I intentionally did not tell him my decision. This is all by myself. Alam ko pong nabigla kayong lahat sa desisyon ko but I know what my decision is. No one can stop me now for choosing what makes me happy and at peace..."

Muli akong tumingin sa lahat ng naroon. May nais pa akong hilingin sa kanila.

"And if possible... I want to talk to Gilbert Lique and Geoffrey Lique. Same goes with Crisanta Madrid..." iyon ang nagpatahimik sa kanilang lahat. Napako ang tingin ko kay Lolo na saglit na tumulala sa akin. Binigyan ko siya ng tango at isang tipid na ngiti. My eyes are hopeful that he will allow me to talk to them.

After all, they are the past I am afraid to face up until now. I won't be free from it not unless I face it and resolve it with myself.

I want to be totally healed from them. For myself, for my family, for Ishmael and for the peace I promised to myself.

Makakamit ko lang ang lahat ng ito kung matapang ko nang haharapin ang sugat ng nakaraan. Alam kong isa sa mga araw na ito ay muli silang kakatok sa akin at guguluhin ang lahat kaya ngayon pa lamang, ako na ang magkukusang ayusin ito. Para sa kapanatagan ko at sa mga taong nakapaligid sa akin.

"Well then... If you are this firm and decided, I won't say anything anymore. Choose what makes you happy, Duchess. I am with you." Tumango sa akin si Lolo, indicating that he's with me in my decision. "I'll try to contact the Liques about this matter. Ang Daddy at Mommy mo ang kakausap kay Crisanta Madrid."

Ibinaling ko ang tingin kina Mommy. They gave me a nod as they looked at me with all smiles, proud and happy.

"The meeting with the federation will be tomorrow. Sa hapon ang press con. I invited some trusted media to cover the press con..." singit ni Zian sa usapan. "It will be a close one. Ilalabas lamang sa petsang itatakda ni Duchess."
