The Bad Girl's Slave (COMPLETED✅)

Chapter 37

Sinubukan kong pakalmahin ang sarili ko pagkatapos ng lahat ng nalaman ko, but unfortunately, my body is shaking badly.

Please calm down Hailey! You have to save your daughter!

I mentally scold myself. Marissa on the other hand, suddenly pulled my hair and made me face her. I gasps out of shock.

"I don't want to kill you, believe it or not... For the past 2 years I learned to love you, like my real daughter, but everytime I look at you... You remind of your mother, you look exactly like her..."

A sad bitter smile plaster on her, as she trace every corner of my face with her fingers.

"Because of her, Alexander left me and I had miscarriage. I had no choice but to kill my twin, because Matilda chose her over me! My life became a mess, all because of her!"

A tears fell in the corner of her eyes, saglit ding dumaan ang sakit sa kanyang mata, ngunit agad ding nawala. She stare at me blankly.

"Now, I have to kill you because you remind me of my painful past. Your the fruit of that one sinful night between the two of them."

Am I going to die here..? Is this the end..?

"Any last words..?"

Marissa said, na nasundan ng pagkasa ng baril. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid not to see my daughter grow up, get married, and have a family of her own. I'm afraid that people I'll left behind will forget me like I never exist. I cleared my throat at bahagyang lumunok.

"Please don't hurt my daughter, and give her to her father... I want her to live a happy life with him."

Pagmamakaawa ko habang umiiyak. She chuckled without humor.

"You still want your daughter to be with him, after everything he did to you Hailey..? How pathetic!"

Huminga ako ng malalim bago sumagot.

"I'm not like you Marissa, I forgive the people I love."

She rolled her eyes.

"Whatever you say Hailey, but don't worry,  I won't hurt your daughter because I truly love her. Labas siya sa galit ko sa mga magulang mo at sayo. You can rest in peace."

Kahit papaano ay nakahinga ako ng maluwag, dahil sa narinig. I look at her with a sad eyes as I slowly close my eyes. Marissa is a reflection of a revengeful soul. I want to kill her but I don't wanna be like her. She's filled with hatred and blinded by so much anger. I am still thankful that I didn't end up like her.

I heard a loud bang as I slowly fall to the ground. My eyes is blurry, but I still managed to look at the dark sky.

"Verzine... Please take care of our daughter."

"Farewell..."

I sadly whispered as my tears fell and everything went blank.

****

I saw my mom, as soon as I open my eyes. She's wearing a white simple dress, sitting beside me, with a genuine smile on her face.

Am I dreaming..? Or am I in heaven..? I'm a bad person though.

Natigil ang pagiisip ko nang yakapin niya ako. I burst into tears because of her warmth hug.

"Mama..."

Iyak ko sa balikat ng aking ina. I cried so hard like a little child as
she caress my hair, and tap my back like the old times.

"I'm sorry for everything you've been through Anak, it's all my fault."

Umiling ako. I never blamed her, everything happens for a reason. 

"It's not your fault Mama... You just don't have a choice."

She cupped my face, and wipe my tears using her thumbs.

"Thank you for understanding Anak."

I smiled and hug her tightly, like there's no tomorrow. I really miss my mother, and I feel safe and sound in her arms.

Maya maya pa dumating ang isang babae, na nakasuot din ng puting bestida. She look like Marissa, so I assumed that she's the real Matilda who passed away 4 years ago.

She smiling while walking towards us.

"You must be Hailey..."

I nodded. My mother on the other hand smiled at her.

"I'm Matilda, your mother's best friend and Marissa's twin sister. I'm sorry for what my sister did to you, to your mother, and to your daughter. She's blinded by her anger, I'm sorry for everything Hailey..."

Malumanay na sabi nito, habang hinahaplos ang kamay ko. I hold her hand too and smiled genuinely.

"You don't need to apologize because it's not your fault, and I would like to say thank you, for helping my mother even if it means betraying your sister. I know it was hard for you too, but you chose the right thing to do, so thank you..."

I said from the bottom of my heart and hug her tightly. She hug me back with the same warmth, until Mama interrupt us.

"Hailey anak...  You have to go back."

I look at my mom with a confused eyes.

"I can't Mama. Marissa shoot me, I am dead now..."

Pinitik ni Mama ang noo ko, while tita Matilda softly chuckled.

"Silly... You're not dead yet iha."

Tita Matilda said and tap my Mom's shoulder.

"Time's up Ariella, mauna na ako."

My mother silently nod as a respond. Tita Matilda smiled at me one last time, before walking straight to the light near us and vanish without a trace.

"Where did she go Mama..?"

I curiously asked. My mom gave me a warm smile before she answer.

"She's back into our world, and you don't belong there Anak. As much as I want you to stay, and I want to be with you but... You can't, it's not your time yet.

Nagsipatakan ang luha sa mga mata ko. I want to be with her, I want to be with my mother. I miss her so much.

"Can't I stay here a little longer..? Please Mama... I miss you so much."

I begged in tears.

"No anak, your family is waiting for you. You have to go back now."
