Lonely

RESENTMENT

Victoria woke up early,she went to the kitchen and she saw Beth there. Nagluluto ito ng agahan nila. Kumuha ito ng tasa upang magtimpla ng paborito niyang kape. Umupo ito at ibinaba ang kanyang tasa sa lamesa. Iniinom niya ito habang nakikipag-daldalan kay Beth.

Kakagising lang naman ni Irene,narinig niya ang boses na nanggagaling sa kusina,alam niya na yun si Victoria. She smirked bago ito magtungo papuntang kusina.

Napunta ito kay Victoria,niyakap niya ito and she showered her a lot of kisses,itinulak naman ni Victoria ang mommy niya"What's wrong? Ang clingy mo nga sa akin kagabi eh"she said at umupo sa tabi ni Victoria "I'm Victoria,not Louis"she said

"Oh,I thought you're Louis"she said at kinuha ang tasa ni Victoria at ininom ang kape"That's mine, bakit mo ininom?"she complained "Here"she replied at inabot ang tasa kay Victoria"No thanks,sayo na. Nalawayan mo na"she said at tumayo para magtimpla ulit ng bagong kape"samantalang noon,you like sharing your food and drinks to me"

Napalingon naman sakanya si Victoria "Noon yon,nung okay pa tayo"she said,Irene tilted her head to Victoria and turned her face away.

After magtimpla ni Victoria ay bumalik ito sa tabi ng Mommy niya,napansin naman niya na bigla nalang itong tumahimik"naka mute ka?"she asked while sipping coffee,Irene gave her a weak smile,kinuha niya ang tasa at uminom din ng kape.

Kagigising lang din ni Louis and nagpunta ito sa kusina she saw Irene and Victoria drinking some coffee. Tumabi ito kay Irene"Where's Dad?"she asked at kinuha ang tasa na pinagiinuman ni Irene at humigop ito ng kape"Maaga siyang umalis eh"she said with her sluggish voice

"Hoy! Victoria what did you do to mommy? Inaway mo nanaman ba?"she said,while looking at Victoria"I didn't do anything "she protested"I'm okay, don't have to fight. Kalalaki niyo na nag aaway pa din kayo sa mga simpleng bagay"

"Si mommy naman hindi na ma joke,joke lang yon. We're good."she said at niyakap si Irene. Louis looked at Victoria,para bang sinasabi niya na yakapin niya din ang mommy nila but Victoria rolled her eyes and do nothing.

"Mommy,kain tayo sa labas para naman makapagbonding tayong lahat. Lalo na si daddy super busy na sa work. Hindi ka ba nagtatampo?"she asked Irene,Irene chuckled"I understand naman, besides madami ding problema ngayon sa kompanya"

"Sanaol understanding,hindi tulad ng isa diyan"she said sabay tingin kay Victoria"Nagsisimula ka nanaman Louis "pagsasabi ni Irene dito,Louis did a peace sign and smiled to Irene

"Ay Mommy,may kasalanan kami ni Victoria sayo"she said habang nakayakap kay Irene. Tumingin naman si Irene sa dalawa. she already know what is it kaya she pretend nalang na hindi"ano yun?"she asked calmly

"Kasi may soar throat ako kahapon and it's hard for me to sing kaya we swap"she explained

"what do you mean?"

pinandilatan naman siya ng mata ni Victoria but Louis ignored her"Nagpalit kami,nagpanggap akong Victoria tapos nagpanggap na Louis si Victoria "pagpapaliwanag nito

"Really? you two are such a good actors you did your role really well. I didn't notice na ganon yung ginawa niyo "she lied,but nahalata niya na talaga nung una palang because of the dimple. Si Victoria lang kasi ang may dimple sa dalawa.

"Bakit mo sinabi? Yung usapan dapat walang makaalam!"Victoria said"Tapos naman na eh,tsaka hindi naman galit si Mommy "

"Traitor!"she said at padabog na pumunta sa kwarto niya. Nagtinginan naman sila Irene at Louis"I think you should thank me mommy,kasi nagkabati kayo ni Victoria kagabi lang because of me"she said"Thank you"she mouthed and give her a kiss on her forehead.
