I Hate You, Lover (ON HOLD)

Chapter 19 "I'm so sorry, MIlaya"

I sneaked out of the room Miss Amory put me in earlier, muntik pa akong matumba nang matamaan ako ng tumatakbo'ng bisita.

Mahuhilog na sana ulit ako nang may bumangga saakin, mabuti nalang ay sumalo saakin.

"Vlanca, We need to get out now." My brother said in a panic.

"Wait I have to go get it," I looked at him seriously.

"No, Vlanca not now." He said his jaw tightening.

"I have to, please." I pleaded with him.

He looked at me with concerned eyes for a moment.

"10 minutes, if you don't come out after that ill come get you."

"Thank you, ill be quick, I promise."

"Be careful okay?" He said and kissed my head.

I immediately went to my dad's office to get what I need from his computer before anyone could.

The only reason why I came to his party.

I need to get the information of the man that killed my mother that my dad has been hiding for years.

"Mama can we paint na po, Pleaseeee!" I pleaded with my mother.

"Vlanca, what did I tell you about patience, mahal ko?" She said crouching down to my level.

"God will bless those who are patient, po," I said with a pout.

We were currently in the garden, My Mama is setting up our painting area.

"Milaya, can you hand me those brushes, dear."

I handed her the brushes.

My kuya Zathrian is at basketball practice today so he couldn't join us.

"And done!" She said with a sigh of relief.

We started painting, My mama was a good painter, she taught me everything I knew about painting.

"Mama, I don't think mine is as good as yours po." I said with a pout.

"It doesn't need to be perfect Milaya, that's the beauty of art, my love. Every individual stroke has its own unique way of telling a story."

In her eyes everything me and my brother do whether it be beautiful or not she still sees the good in it. She always says that art is beautiful and we are the best art she has ever created.

We finished painting and we set it outside to dry.

"Milaya, honey why don't you go wash your hands while I prepare us some cookies."

"Okay, po Mama."

As I was washing my hands I heard a loud bang coming from the backyard.

Tumakbo ako para tignan kung ano yon pero may biglang humablot saakin sa likuran sumigawn ako nang sumigaw pero natakpan ang bibig ko ng kumuha saakin.

"Boss may bata." Said the guy who took me.

When he put me down I saw my Mama kneeling on the ground in front of a tall man wearing black.

"Siya naba yan Elena?" The tall man asked.

"Wag! parang awa mo na." My Mama said she's now crying.

"MAMA!" I said and ran to her.

She hugged me tight as I kneeled down with her.

Nakita kong may isinenyas ng matangkad na lalake sa isang kasama niya. I saw the other guy come near me and tried to take me but my Mama fought to keep me in her arms.

"Please, Xavier don't do this." My Mama cried out. But he didn't care he just watched as two of his men took me and held my mama, stopping her from getting to me.

I cried in front of him while the other man held my shoulders from behind.

He crouched down to my level. "You look exactly like your mother." He said while wiping my cheeks.

I could hear my Mama pleading to spare me, to not hurt me.

I tried to get out from the man's grip but it was too tight I couldn't get away and run to my Mama.

"Ako nalang parang awa mo na, Just don't hurt my twins." My mom cried even more when she saw him crease my cheeks.

I saw him turn his head to look at my Mama, I saw how he smirked at her.

He stood up and went to my Mama, he was towering over her.

I was still crying and trying to loosen the grip of the man holding me.

"Mama! Let me go!"

Sinenyasan nanaman ng matangkad na lalake ang tauhan niyang nakahawak saakin. He let me go and I instantly ran to my Mama.

And before I knew it a loud bang invaded my ears before I could even reach her causing me to put both my hands in my ears and close my eyes.

I would never forget the way she hugged me so tight while she was bleeding out, I could still remember how she looked at me and whispered.

"I'm so sorry, MIlaya.
