Chapter 48
Pakiramdam ko, lumulutang ako habang nasa biyahe pabalik sa Manila. Hinahawakan ko lang ang maliliit na bato sa singsing na binigay ni Yves. I feel so tired to even feel exhaustion. I'm too drained to even cry and to mourn. I'm spacing out right now. My mind is in somewhere else – specifically in Dad's room in the hospital and also wherever Yves is right now.
If I can only make the time faster, I'll definitely check Dad's condition right away. I'm now worried especially, Adam is just quiet while he's on the passenger seat! Ni hindi siya nagkuwento ng kung ano talagang nangyari kay Dad!
I'm also thinking about Yves! Hindi ako nakapagsabi sa kaniya na babalik muna ako sa Manila! Masyadong marami akong iniisip para maalala pa 'yon!
But damn it! He needs me there!
"I'm not in the position to tell you about what happened. Mas mabuting si Tita Minerva na lang ang magsabi sa 'yo," sagot niya nang tanungin ko pa ulit siya kung ano ang nangyari.
I just sighed even if I really want to know about it. But I have no choice but to wait dahil alam kong hindi ko na mapipilit pa si Adam na magsabi.
We're not close, anyway.
Ni hindi ko nga alam kung itinuturing ba niya akong pinsan.
But if I'm going to compare Yasmin and him – Adam is much better. I think.
Hindi na ako nagpasalamat sa kaniya nang ihatid niya ako sa hospital. Hindi ko na rin naitanong kung anong room ni Dad dahil sa pagmamadali ko. It's a good thing that I saw Yelena inside the elevator but she didn't notice me. Sinundan ko lang siya hanggang sa tumigil siya at nagbukas ng pinto ng isang room.
She's about to close the door but I pushed it slightly. Nagulat pa siya nang makita ako sa labas ng room.
"A-Alindra, nahanap ka na pala. Where's Kuya Adam?"
Hindi ko sinagot si Yelena at dumiretso kay Dad. I quickly looked around him only to see apparatuses. My knees got weak when I moved closer to him. I covered my mouth to prevent myself from making any noise. Ayaw kong marinig ni Yelena na humahagulgol na ako sa harapan ni Dad.
"W-What happened to you, Dad?"
"Naaksidente si Tito habang nag-d-drive siya kasama ni Ivory at Natalia. He was drunk according to them. Your Mom and Tito Alesso also had a fight.. 'yon yata ang reason bakit uminom si Tito no'ng sinundo niya ang mga anak niya."
Napatigil ako sa pag-iyak nang marinig si Yelena. I looked at her. "Mga anak? What do you mean?"
"K-Kuya Adam didn't tell you yet?" nagtataka naman niyang sagot sa akin. I just shook my head while looking at her. "Nahanap na ni Tito Alesso ang anak niya kay Sandra Lope de Vega. Actually, they're twins – Catalina and Natalia.."
