Unforeseen (Reginarda/Darlentina AU)

C.15

Regina groaned as she moved and opened her eyes.

"hmmm. N-Narda?" she tries to call, but walang sumagot so she tried to touch the space beside her only to find it empty, except for a note.

Nakahiga niya pa ding binasa ang note and it made her smile.

Narda's coming back for me. I should make something for her.

That thought alone made her blood rush and feel excitement.

With still a smile on her face, she sat up only to find Narda sitting in a chair across the room.

"oh, Narda." she greets with a smile.

"akala ko nasa hospital ka pa?" she asks and Narda smiled at her.

"I should be, but I wanted to be back here agad. May nalaman kasi ako and I wanted to talk about it sa'yo." she heard Narda say kaya tumango siya sabay tumayo na palapit dito.

"hmm? ano yun? may problema ba sa hospital? may maitutulong ba ako?" she asked and Narda shook her head.

Inabot ni Narda ang kamay nito sa kanya and even when she feels it's odd, tinanggap niya pa din ito and sat on the edge of the bed para masinsinan nilang mapag-usapan ni Narda kung ano man ang problema nito.

Like a reflex, her thumb drew little circles at the back of Narda's hand.

It was silence between them two, until Narda spoke.

"nung wala ako, you were in a relationship with someone, right? contrary sa sinabi mong you waited for me." she heard the woman say that made her stopped her little circles.

She recalled she did lie about waiting for her to come back.

"just please be honest with me with everything, Regina." Narda pleaded at her.

So she sighed, "yes, but it was not serious Narda. I did not love him, not how I love you.." she said.

Coz it's true. She never loved Brian. She never loved him wholeheartedly.

Pero para sa kanya, deserve niya yung pagmamahal na binibigay ni Brian sa kanya, even when it's messed up. For her, the person who she truly loves is Narda. No one else.

Suddenly, Narda started laughing. A laugh she knew that's not genuine.

Where is this conversation going?

"Narda?" she asks, confused.

Narda took her hand away from her bago tumayo in which she also did the same.

As soon as she did it, sinampal siya nito.

"what the heck Narda?!" she yelled, touching her cheek.

"ano bang problema mo?!" she asks, now mad.

She just woke up, it was fine a few seconds ago tas biglang sasampalin siya nito.

What the heck is happening?

"ikaw Regina! ikaw ang problema ko!" Narda yells at her, palapit ito sa kanya sabay tinulak-tulak siya.

"how could you do this to me huh?!" Narda, fuming mad asks.

"pinagkatiwalaan kita! bumalik ako for you! hoping na baka pwede tayo and God knows how happy I felt when you confessed na mahal mo din ako!"

Regina somehow made two and two together now. Sa tingin niya naiintindihan na niya ang nangyayari.

"I let you court me! Hinayaan kitang ipakita mo sa'kin kung gano mo ako kamahal, the chance you asked for, binigay ko ng walang pagdadalawang isip!" she can see Narda's tears now.
