MARCOS TRILOGY #2: Happily Ever After (fanfiction)

36

THIS IS IT.

"

Hi guys, is sandro here?" Ameth asked as we enter the living room. I can see written shock on their face to see me.

"No, he went out with Simon to find you but-" Matthew turned around and realized that Amethyst was with me. "A-are.. Can anyone see that girl behind Ameth...? Am I dreaming or what..."

"Aren't you Simon's lawyer that died in a plane crash?" Atty. Manotoc went straight to the point and asked me.

"Don't worry guys, She is real." Amethyst made it clear, "but how did that even happen? I mean the crash looks real and everything was real even the news??" Matthew asked and went towards me to touch my hand if I'm real.

"I am real, look.. I don't have any time now. Simon's going to find out soon and I'll be really dead if he sees me! I'm scared that he will and I don't know what would be my reaction if that happened-"

"Amethyst!" Sandro called her. As I turned around, he got also shock to see me standing infront of him. I greeted hi but natulala sya infront of me then suddenly dad called me.

"Excuse me, I need to go to dad." I told them and went back to the main room. I went towards dad and asked him why'd he call me. "Anak, don't leave by my side.. In few minutes I'm going to introduce you to the first family"

This is the part.

My hands were shaking and cold and I felt really hot. It's like I'm having an anxiety attack or I'm really having an anxiety attack right now.

I held my hand on the top of the chair because I felt like I'm going to loose my balance and get unconscious. I felt a sudden ache on my head but I didn't mind.

Things were blurry and I can only hear voices, voices of dad talking to his friends about me.. I can hear other guests talking about business. Some politician talking about politics and relatives talking about their ancestor's pasts.

A felt my heart beating fast.

I hear it so loud.

It sounded like it's looking for its pair that has been lost for few months. It sounded like it was looking for an answer to the questions I never get to ask.

I looked at the pictures at the wall. Their family picture in baguio was placed, it gives me deja vu to look at their photos especially when those photos are taken by me.

Iba na pala ngayon.

Babae na ang nagiiwan.

I heard voices comming from somewhere, and those words hit me. I got so related.

It's all my fault. I left him, without any goodbye. But still.. I only did that because I want to protect him and love him not to break his heart..

Those pictures from the wall, they were with me at that moments... I was there.

Things became clarity again, and in my own eyes..

"Let us welcome, the first family and the new president of the Phillipines! Let's give a round of applause to them. Congratulations, Mr. President!" the host said as they entered.

Amethyst and Sandro went inside first. They were looking at me from eye to eye while I was sitting at the chair at the corner where no one could notice me that much.

I can see from Amethyst's face that she looked so worried. Until.... Vincent and Simon entered.

At that time, I knew that my tears was falling. I covered my face and told my self that "No, this is not the place to break down.. This is not where you should give up!"

Then someone approached me, it was this familiar voice. My vision was soo blurry that I couldn't see anyone.

"Miss, are you okay?" he asked. I slowly looked up to him and he was handing me a handkerchief, and there. I know it from there that he was Simon.

He was showing a shock written on his face. "S-si...." I stood up and he stared at me. "S-Simon... I'm-"

"Simon? This is not Simon, it's me Amethyst." She said, "Are you okay? You look pale. Why were you crying? Are you scared?" she worriedly asked me.

"I am so scared, Amethyst... I thought I can do it but I can't. I don't know how to, I'm so afraid that I might hurt him again! I already hurt him once and I don't wanna make it twice. I'm worried that he would hate me for what I did, THIS IS ALL MY FAULT!"

"Airene- I mean bianca, no.. It's not your time to give up. Your father is looking for you, he's going to introduce you to sandro and his sibs now. You have to wipe your tears off"

"Look, I got your back whatever happens."

We went to where dad is and suddenly... I bumped into Simon and my bag dropped. I went to pick it up but he did pick it up too, "Miss- you dropped your bag-" he looked shocked to see me.

I have to be strong. I should not show what I feel, "Thank you." I said as I got the bag from him. I can see shock written on his face and he was speechless.

And Amethyst was behind me, he looked at her too. "Am.. I seeing this r-real"

"Yes, si.. It's really Airene"

"w-what do you mean..? Are you.. Airene! How are you all alive? How did that even happen?!"

"Look si, I don't want to cause any issue right now. If you want to talk to me about our past, talk to me about it somewhere private. And also, it's not Airene anymore. My name is bianca."

I was holding back my tears. Dad suddenly called us, "oh looks like you already met each other, huh?"

"Kamusta, inaanak?" dad greeted Simon. "It's great to see you again, tito."

"It seems like you already know my daughter but let me introduce her again, she's Bianca Ramirez my first daughter and a lawyer.. You know, your dad told me that she became your lawyer dati that's the reason why you two met pala well actually its great to see you too know each other for a year now. Another thing, my little bianca is single so if-"

"Ooohhh, Simon you should ask bianca out sometimes. You're getting old and you still don't have a girlfriend" tito bong said like he's agreeing to my dad.

Only if you both knew.. But it's great that you shouldn't.
