Chasing The Moon

Chapter 11

RHIANE

"D-dad?" bakas ang gulat at pangamba sa muka ni Ma'am.

Gulat akong nag pabalik balik ng tingin sa dalawang nasa harapan ko ngayon.

Teka anong nangyayari?

Dad? Tatay niya tong lalaking to?

"Anong ginagawa ng babaeng yan dito?!" he said with anger.

Ramdam ko yung galit niya, gaya nung huling nagalit siya sa akin.

"S-she's my student dad"

"Wait? He's your dad?" Singit ko sa kanila.

" You should go now, Miss Miranda" she said and tried to push me inside the car.

"Wai---" I was about to say something pero inunahan niya ako.

"Please just leave!" She said in frustration.

I looked at her for a moment and turned my eyes to her dad before getting inside my car to drive away.

I couldn't believe what I found out, how did they become siblings?

There are too many questions running through my mind but I don't know how to clarify them.

I need to talk to Miss Selene to clear all this up. If she's related to Amaris.... Damn! Hindi pwede 'tong nararamdaman ko sa kan'ya.

Alam mo na hindi na normal ang pinapa ramdam niya sakin lately at pati ako naguhuluhan na rin sa sarili ko.

Urghhh Rhiane...she's out of your league,  you can't be with her 'cause she's too much to be yours.

I looked at the time on my wrist watch. It's already 6pm, but i'm still sitting inside my car, thinking twice whether I should go or not.

Alam ko naman na gusto lang ni dad na pumunta ako dito para hindi siya mapahiya sa parents ni Vince.

"This is the last time". I sighed and leaned back in my seat, while closing my eyes.

Nasa isip ko parin ang nangyari kanina. Bakit sa dinami rami ng tao si Miss Selene pa ang naging kapatid niya?

Hindi ko pa nasisigurado pero pakiramdam ko tama ang hinala ko.

I came back to myself when I suddenly heard my phone ringing. It's my uncle. Inayos ko ang upo ko bago ito sagutin.

"Why?"

"Where are you na Rhiane? Your dad is waiting and he keeps asking me kung nasaan kana" he said.

"I'm already here,...baka kinakabahan lang s'ya na baka hindi ako dumating" I rolled my eyes.

" He's worried Rhiane" I heard him sighed.

" He's worried na mapahiya sa bisita niya, hindi sakin" chuckled bitterly.

" Rhine please"

" Okay, I'll be there in 5 minutes" I said before I ended the call.

Ayoko na makipag talo kay uncle dahil alam ko naman na ipagtatanggol niya parin si dad.

As I walked inside I saw the old lady approached me.

"Hija, nanjan kana pala kanina pa nag aantay ang dad mo sa loob" she said.

" Salamat po Manang Judy" I smiled at her.

" Walang anuman hija, hindi ka parin nag bago napaka ganda at magalang mo paring bata."

Isa siya sa mga kasambahay ni dad dito. Siya din ang close ko dito dahil sa tuwing pupunta ako dito ay siya ang nag aasikaso sakin.
