Destiny Played it Well

CHAPTER 62

VINNY's POV.

"Look what have you done!" we were all shocked when Evo threatened Sandro and pinned him on the wall.

"Bro, stop! What the hell are you talking about?!" Sandro said then pushed him. "I have nothing to do with it. It wasn't my fault she found out your secret!" this confused me. How can kuya Sandro casually say that as if he already knew this would come.

"You two just stop this nonsense! Erah is fighting for her life and there you two being jerks! If you can't hold yourselves, get out of here!" Kuya Simon said angrily. There's something going on with this three and I have to find that out. Looks like these two butt-cheeks realized their behavior, kumalma na sila saka magkalayong umupo. Thank God, ceasefire muna sila.

"Look, Evo. I know you're worried about Erah, so are we. Blaming each other will not help this situation." Kuya Sandro is right. This is not the perfect time to blame each other. We really feel guilty right now, if only we stopped Erah from following Jen's car, she wouldn't be in this situation, fighting for her life. We don't have any idea how she is now, all the doctors and nurses are still in the emergency room. Evo didn't bother to answer nor take a glance at Kuya Sandro, he was just staring at the emergency room's door.

"Erah?! Erah?!" we heard noise from the lobby and when I turned around, it was Jen together with a not so old man. She immediately rushed in our direction after she saw us. "How's Erah?! Where is she?" she ask and look so worried. A part of me want to yell at her, if she didn't left, Erah wouldn't follow her. But of course, I'm not in the position to do that she must been hurt also after what she found out.

"How dare you to come here!!" we are all in shock when Evo punch Jen's companion. Wth?!

"What the fuck Evo?! Dad, oh God." Jen yelled back at Evo then helped her Dad. That's Jen's father?! Heaven's sake. We are all in shock.

"Evo stop! Come on, bro." Kuya Sandro hold him back before he attack Jen's Dad again.

"You shouldn't be here! How dare you to come here after you betrayed my father by having an affair with my Mom!" Evo looks so freaking mad and he couldn't manage himself.

"Jen, please. Just bring your father to the lobby and just wait there. I'll bring Evo there once he calms down, settle your problem privately." Kuya Sandro adviced. Jen has no choice but to follow what Kuya said. After they left, Simon gave Evo a bottled of water to calm him.

"Excuse me for a sec." I excused and bring also water to Jen and her Dad at the hospital lobby. "Jen? Here, water." I handed the bottled water then I sat down next to her while she was waiting for her who is currently treating his wound. "Are you okay?"

"Honestly, Vin. I'm not. Gusto ko saktan ang sarili ko at sising-sisi ako sa ginawa ko dahil kung hindi ako umalis, hindi ma aaksidente si Erah. I even cursed her na ayaw ko siyang makita but when I heard the news, parang nawasak ako bigla. Hindi ko siya kayang mawala. Tingin ko kay Erah ay kapatid ko na kahit diko pa alam na totoong magkapatid pala kami." she started crying while leaning on my shoulder. I let her cry for a moment cause she really sorry for what happened. "I should have known this would come para hindi magiging ganito yung sitwasyon ni Erah. She doesn't deserve this. She's way too good and she have been through a lot tas ito pa." she let out the resentments she felt.

"Shh... Jen, stop blaming yourself. This is not your fault. We also feel guilty but I know Erah wouldn't like to see us blaming ourselves. She will get through this. She's a strong women with strong a fighting spirit." Jen continues to cry on my shoulder. The lease thing I could do is to pat her back so she would calm. I know Erah, she will survive this.

After comforting Jen, I excused myself for a bit cause I badly need to pee, I would have been close to the bathroom when I heard Sandro and Evo secretly talking in an uncrowded part. I immediately hid near them to hear what they were talking about because it looked serious.

"If I had just told Erah, she wouldn't have come to this." I heard Evo.

"This not your fault, bro. Stop blaming yourself. A part of me whose guilty also for not telling her, and if I do, I know she would get hurt for the fact that she is not Tito Franko's daughter." Kuya Sandro knew that Erah is not Franko Sagrado's daughter all along. I thought he just found out recently. "Erah always hoped that she and your father would get along, only to find out she's not from Tito."

"I heard you two talking at the hospital last time about Erah's real identity. You should have known better, Kuya. You betrayed Erah, big time." Simon? Was that Simon? He also knew about this?! For fuck sake!? I was about to confirm if it was Simon when I heard some footsteps coming towards me. "Vincent?! What are you doing here?" Simon look so shock while glancing at Sandro and Evo. Both my Kuya knew about Erah and they didn't bother to tell me!?

"You are no different from Sandro, you both lied to Erah." I coldly said then walk away. Both liars! Erah doesn't deserve this kind of treatment.

THIRD PERSON's POV.

After 1 month...

Hindi pa din nagigising si Erah simula nung matapos ang matagumpay niyang operasyon. Maraming damages sa kanyang katawan at sugatan pa na natamo niya sa aksidente. Nag mistulang lantang gulay siya na nakahiga at walang may alam kung kelan siya gigising. Isang malaking bangungut para sa pamilya at mga kaibigan ang sinapit niya.

"Erah, anak. Alam mo ba bumisita dito si Jen kanina. Kinamusta ka niya." masayang kausap ng Mommy ni Erah habang pinupunasan nito ang kanyang mukha para linisan. "Sweetie, even though Jen is still not talking to me, I'm still happy she's here, to take care of you like what sisters do. Also, Simon came here earlier and bought you a crate of flowers. I see he really likes you anak." araw-araw, yan ang routine ni Melissa na kausapin ang kanyang anak dahil sabi ng Doctor, naririnig niya pa rin ang mga tao sa paligid niya. "I'm really sorry sweetie for not telling you about your father. Hindi ko pa din kaya mag kwento kasi eh. Natatakot ako, natatakot ako na baka pandirian mo ako na baka kamuhian mo si Franko. Anak, I'm sorry if I didn't told you that I was a rape victim..." nag simulang umiyak si Melissa habang hawak-hawak ang kamay ng anak niya nung nag simula na siya umamin sa lahat. "Ayokong kamuhian mo si Franko anak dahil minahal ko na rin siya...kahit sa ginawa niya sa akin, natutunan ko siyang mahalin nung pinanindigan niya ako. Nung mas pinili ni Philip si Olivia, hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. Kahit kinamumuhian ko si Franko dahil sa kanyang ginawa, siya lang ang bukod tanging lalaki ang nangako na mamahalin niya ako at pagsisilbihan ng buong-buo. Kaya anak, I'm really sorry for not telling you the truth." hindi pa din natigil sa pag-iyak so Melissa habang idinapi ang kamay ni Erah sa kanyang pisnge nung maramdaman niyang gumalaw bahagya ang kamay ni Erah. Gulat at pananabik ang una niyang naramdaman agad "Erah??? Did you just move your hand? Sweetie? Mommy is here. I'm here. I'm right here." agad pinahiran ni Melissa ang kanyang luha at nakiramdam kung gagalaw ba ulit ang kamay ni Erah nung sa pangalawang pagkakataon ito ay kanyang iginalaw. "Oh my Lord. Erah...."
