Destiny's Betrayal

•19

A month has passed, Sandy, unfortunately had to fly back to the Philippines to attend classes while Tanya's family wanted her to stay until she's fully recovered.

Sandy's blaming herself; Tanya learnt about this and immediately assured her girlfriend that she's definitely not at fault.

Tanya recovered so fast but the suspects behind the crime aren't still in the government's hands.

Now, their online class has finished and so Sandy decided to call her.

But... she seems busy. She didn't get to answer her two calls that made Sandy send her a message.

:Tani, tapos na 'yung class. How are you?

She sat on the couch and opened the television.

"Ate, si ate Tanya raw naaksidente."

"What!?"

It was Mina who told her a real bad news.

She hurriedly exited her house while telling her sister to send her the informations.

She arrived where Tanya is. It was like her soul's trying to be with her at that time but her energy's giving up thinking about her girlfriend's state.

"Tanya Ohales please," she talked to the nurse in-charge.

After receiving an answer, she quickly went to the said room.

"Tanya..."

She opened the door and went shocked when the lights opened.

"Hi, baby"

It was Tanya, holding a bouquet and standing before the decoration saying I'm back my love.

Sandy covered her face and sobbed which worried Tanya. The latter went closer to her and asked her..

"Mahal? Bakit?"

Sandy punched her multiple times and continued to sob in front of her.

"Ah! Aray," Tanya.

"Akala ko kung ano na naman nangyari sa'yo!"

Tanya tried so hard to stop herself from laughing.

"Mahal, look at me."

Sandy looked at her.

"I'm sorry... I'm back na, mahal. I love you.."

Her girlfriend hugged her so tight and said I love you too. Tanya was the one who parted the hug and lead Sandy where the foods are.

"Wanna eat?," she asked and Sandy nodded.

She took care of her girl and when they were already eating, Sandy asked her.

"Mahal..."

"Hmm?"

"You didn't reply to me."

"Oh."

Tanya touched her hand and said, "Babe, after class kasi, I started checking if it's all good."

Sandy smiled and said, "I appreciate this. So much."

"Tinatawag mo na rin akong babe ha!," she added.

"Ang cute e," Tanya pouted.

Sandy: Kailan ka pa nakarating dito?
Wait-hold on.

Tanya: Bakit?

Sandy: Paano ka nakakuha ng hospital room?

Tanya continued eating and seemed like she didn't hear Sandy.

"Tanya!"

Though it wasn't that loud, she flinched.

"Hindi kasi, ano.."

"Bigla kasing sumakit yung dito ko tapos sabi ni
Nica, pumunta na raw ako rito."

Sandy slapped her shoulder.

"Aray!"

"Bakit kasi ikaw lang mag-isa? Tapos hindi ka pa nagsabi saking uuwi ka".

"E pa'no magiging surprise 'yun?"

Sandy rolled her eyes.

Tanya stood up, put down her plate, and went closer to her girlfriend to hug her.

"Ang cute mo," Tanya smilingly looked at her. She then freed Sandy from her grip.

Sandy looked away and continued minding her own business until she heard a music. She looked behind her and saw a music box. Not just that, she also saw her girlfriend standing right next to it.

"Do you know this song?," she softly asked and Sandy nodded.

"If Only. Lagi kong kinakanta when I see you with someone else. We weren't still together that time and I was so afraid to say I love you because you might not like me since hindi naman tayo friends noong simula. Yes, I like you noong hindi pa tayo close. Nung ngang tinarayan mo 'ko sa unang interaction natin, nangibabaw yung inis kesa sadness. Nainis ako kasi tinarayan mo 'ko and nalungkot ako kasi I thought I did something wrong for you to act like that. To be honest, after thinking about my feelings that day, medyo nabawasan yung interes ko sa'yo pero you know, true love will come at the right time... Noong sinamahan mo ako, nasa tamang panahon na tayo," Tanya said which made Sandy release a lone tear.

"Will you always make me cry?," Sandy uttered while wiping her tear.

Tanya offered her hand, "Pwede ka bang maisayaw?" and Sandy nodded.

They danced while embracing each other.

"I love you, Tani".

"I love you too."

They then heard knocks.

"You invited someone?"

"No"

Tanya opened the door and a woman in white coat greeted her.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Are you Ms. Tanya Ohales?"

Tanya nodded, "Yes, Ms., do you need something po?"

"I am Nurse Ja po, pinapatawag po kayo ni Dra. Tolentino"

"Oh, thank you Nurse Ja. Susunod na lang po ako"

The nurse left and so Tanya closed the door. When she faced Sandy, she saw confusion on her face.

"Mahal, ano 'yun?," Sandy confusedly asked.

"I coordinated with Dra. Tolentino about who I really am. I haven't told you this but I took ma's DNA".

Tanya walked closer to Sandy and the latter took a seat.

"I met Dra. Tolentino the day after you left and then... ayun, I asked her if she knows someone na pwedeng makatulong sa'kin. She gave me her friend's call number and now, I'm gonna meet that woman," she then observed her girlfriend's reaction.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Shet. Mag-aaway ba kami?

"Ayoko kasing mag-worry ka..."

"Pero gusto mong magalit ako?"

"H-hindi naman sa ganon."

Sandy stood up, "Can I go with you?".

"Why are you even asking? Of course, babe, you can."

Tanya held her hands and smiled, "Can we now continue?"

"But Dra. Tolentino's calling you na o".

"Ay"

"We'll do it later ulit, okay?," Sandy smilingly said that and rubbed Tanya's cheek.
