The Beauty of Tomorrow (Montejo Siblings #2)

Chapter 24

PROMISE

 It is true that no one can tell how long we will live in this world... only God knows.

Our lives are always uncertain. There are always the unexpected happenings and coming. And in life we ​​should not be complacent, because every day something bad can happen. Malay mo bukas o mamaya ay may mamatay, may problemang dadating... Dahil sa buhay ay hindi lang puro saya.

Nandiyan 'yong mahihirapan ka. Hindi maiiwasan 'yong masaktan at mapahamak at iba't ibang mga pagsubok. Dahil sabi nga nila, hindi ka nabubuhay sa mundong ito para lang huminga.

Always remember that before you reach the very top, you must go first through different hardships, pain and trials.

"Mom? I want to be like you when I grow up!"

"Really, sweetie?" My beautiful mother laughed softly before she stopped what she was doing. "Well in that case, your Daddy and I are here to support you..."

I giggled softly. I reached for her reading glass and put it on. My mom laughed again.

"No, you might damage your eyes." She said as she carefully pulled out the glass.

"Mom, why is my brother always away? I missed him... "

Mom combed my hair gently. I hugged her waist as I closed my eyes.

"He has training, Becca. He needs that so he can protect you when the right time comes."

"Hmm, why is that? Am I in danger?"

"We..." She sighed. "We are in danger..."

Liwanag ang unang bumungad sakin nang idinilat ko ang aking mga mata. Pinakiramdaman ko ang sariling katawan. My whole body is aching, especially the side of my waist.

There was something piercing in my hand, probably IV fluids. Ahh, hospital.

"Fuck, I'm still alive..." I groaned at doon ko na narinig ang sunod-sunod na yabag.

"Rebecca..." Sabay na boses ni Morgan at Phoenix.

"Oh, you two shut up. Ang t-tagal niyong dumating!" Singhal ko kasabay ng pagsakit ng tagiliran.

What a shit! Bakit ba hindi ko naramdaman ang taong 'yon sa restroom kanina? Ganon ba ako kakampante?

"Don't fucking talk, Becca! Ipunin mo ang lakas mo, maghanda ka sa pagdating na ama mo!" Pasigaw na sabi ni Nix.

Muntik pa akong mapapikit dahil sa galit na boses niya. I tightly closed my eyes as I deeply sighed.

"Why are you mad at me?" Tiningnan ko siya ng masama.

"Dahil ang tigas-tigas ng ulo mo!" Aniya pa.

I almost cursed him. Wala akong masasabi tungkol sa usaping 'yan dahil hindi ko din naman maitatanggi. I am also mad at myself dahil lagi nalang ako nagdadala ng problema. And this? Lahat ng mga nangyaring ito sakin ay sarili ko ring kasalanan. Ako din ang may kagagawan kaya dapat wala akong ibang sisihin but my own stupidity.
