Destiny's Betrayal

•11

Their last semester has ended and Sydney needs to go out of the country with her family. Though, she will miss Tanya, she decided to not change any of their plans since it's just for a month.

She felt relieved when Tanya assured her that it's okay because it's about her family.

As they arrived to the airport she noticed a presence. "Tanya?"

Mirna walked closer to her while smiling. "Ate, huwag masyadong pahalata, baka hindi makapagpigil."

"Is that her?"

"Alam mo ate, tanga tangahan ka. Sya nga. Oo sya nga. Kita na e, tatanong pa."

Sandy hit Mirna's arms and the latter winched in pain.

Tanya walked closer to Sandy with a genuine smile. "You said you won't make it?"

"Surprise!", Tanya opened her arms as she said that.

Sandy threw herself in and they felt their embrace for a minute. Tanya then saw Helena, sitting beside Mirna. She immediately, carefully parted their hug which confused the former.

Sandy looked at Tanya while creasing her forehead. She followed her girlfriend's stares and there she got the answer on Tanya's sudden movement.

She held her hand and they walked near Helena.

"Mom...", Sandy confidently called her mom who was writing something.

Tanya was so nervous that she can't look at anyone right now but Helena.

Helena looked up with a smile. "Yes?"

Sandy looked at Tanya then looked back at her mom. "Mom, this is Tanya....my girlfriend."

Tanya was a bit shocked upon hearing Sandy's words. "Good morning po."

Helena stood up and then handed Tanya a paper.

Tanya was very confused until she read the first word; It was a list of their limitations.

"Pakibasa tapos kapag nagawa mo sa first day na sinabi ko, approve na kayo." Helena seriously talked and then Sandy gritted her teeth, went closer to her, "Mom, bakit po may pa ganyan? Ano po 'to? Dry run?" she spoke that's enough for her mom to hear.

"Ano ka ba, titingnan ko lang kung okay ba sya. O, hija, memorize it all and then say it to me now."

Tanya widened her eyes and then she saw Helena forming a smile. "Biro lang pero paki-sunod ha? Kahit parehas kayong may bataan, dapat pa ring alagaan."

"Mom!", Sandy face-plamed and shook her head out of embarrassment.

While Mirna was just there watching the three having a conversation and a little bit laughing seeing how nervous Tanya is.

The three took a seat. Tanya was in the middle of them. "Can you tell me what you loved about my daughter?", Helena asked while looking straight to Tanya's eyes.

Tanya couldn't utter a word which made Sandy tap her.

"U-uh—I don't really....I can't figure it out po. I just know that I love her. I felt different when I started: getting jealous, wanting to hatid and sundo her, giving her the things I know she loved, wanted and the last thing's thinking about her day and night. Then one morning, alam ko na pong mahal ko na sya."

Helena was still emotionless and then she formed a smile. "Okay... that's all." She sat properly as she said that.

"What, mom?"
