Chapter 32





"What are you doing here?" ulit ko sa mariing tinig.

She rolled her eyes.

"Well, Mom is dying." she answered.

I stiffened.

Why does it seems like it was just nothing to her? With her voice screams nonchalance...

Ilang segundo na ang lumipas ay wala parin akong nasagot. Hindi ako makasagot. No. I just don't know what to say. I can't process what she just said but I can already feel my heart breaking... as my tears starting to pool in my eyes.

How can she say that looking so carefree? Like she doesn't care at all?

Marahas akong tumayo ako at seryosong hinarap si Hailena.

"Where is she?" kalmado ko paring wika sa kabila ng nalaman.

Umirap siyang muli at padabog na umupo sa inupuan kong sofa kanina. Huminga ako ng malalim at marahas na bumaling sa kaniya. I'm starting to get livid with her unconcerned face. Bakit nga tila wala lang sa kaniya?! Her loving Mom is dying! The one she wanted to have so much before is dying!

"At the hospital." She smirked then she grabbed the magazine I was scanning awhile ago. "Tss. Lunandrea and the bitches..."

"What do you need?" I asked calmly.

I am really trying hard to calm my nerves though I can already feel my wrath trying to come out. I know she can see it. At mukhang natutuwa pa mga siya dahil nababakas ko pa ang ngisi sa kaniyang labi. This bitch...

She pouted then pointed the magazine. "You know Saccharine? This bitch? Lunox?" turo niya sa isang babaeng hindi ko naman kilala. "Her family bought the rest house."

"Shut it, Hailena. I don't care about her. I don't care about what you're talking about. Si Mommy... why didn't you tell me that she's sick?"

She only rolled her eyes. Bumuga ako ng hangin at itinuro ang pintuan.

"Leave." but she didn't budge on her seat. "Fucking leave, Ena."

Again, she acted like she didn't hear anything.

Naikuyom ko ang aking mga palad. "Then, ako ang aalis–"

"Damn it, I sold the fucking land!"

I halted in disbelief. "What?"

She scoffed annoyingly.

"The damn plantation–"

"Why did you do that? It's not yours! Wala kang karapatan!" Nagngitngit ang aking mga bagang.

Nanginginig ang aking kamay at kaunting kablit pa sa galit ko ay hindi ko na alam. I am not a violent person but I can slap her until her cheeks turns red.

Pumikit ako at pilit na ikinalma ang sarili.

"I spent enough money for her hospital bills, now it's your turn! Tutal anak ka rin niya at... para may silbi ka naman.."

I gasped in disbelief. Isang iglap ay tumabingi ang mukha niya sa lakas ng pagkakasampal ko. But it seems like it didn't pain her. She's acting really well. She only smirked at me then she caresses her reddened cheek.

"Your slap won't change anything." ngumisi siya. "I already have the money. Ginastos ko na at paubos na nga... It's not as if your slap will scare me? Umasa kang ibabalik ko sa'yo ang natitirang pera." she chuckled sarcastically.

Nanggigigil ko siyang tiningnan.

"Dad gave it to me! Wala kang karapatang ibenta iyon! I have its papers and I will never give it to-"
