Chapter Twenty

Truth

Ali

Gumalaw naman ang mga paa ko at sinundan ko siya. Hinawakan ko siya sa braso niya pagkatapos para pigilan siya sa pag-alis na lang nang ganoon. "We're not yet done talking here, Elias!" Hindi ko rin mapigilan ang pagtataas ng boses ko.

I was so shocked to hear it from him. What's he talking about...

Hinarap naman niya akong muli.

"Don't you just turn your back on me! Mag-usap tayo! Ano ang sinasabi mo? Si Theia..." Natigilan ako. Napalunok ako at parang nakakaramdam na ako ng panginginig...

"Theia, she's our daughter. Bakit? Nakakalimutan mo na ba?"

Umawang ang labi ko habang nakatingin ako sa kaniya.

At parang tumigil ang mundo ko sa sinabi niya. How could he just tell me this now... Parang titigil din sa pagtibok ang puso ko sa sinabi niya sa akin... na ngayon ko lang nalaman...

I gritted my teeth. "Don't lie... Don't lie to me, Elias!" I shouted at him dahil hindi ko kayang kontrolin ang panginginig ko... I was both shocked and feeling frustrated. I couldn't believe it, but it can be true... What he's telling me now... Pero paano?

His lips also parted while he's looking at me. "What... How can you... Why would I lie about this? Nagmamaang-maangan ka pa ba, Aletheia?" His jaw clenched.

Tiningnan ko siya na parang naguguluhan pa rin ako sa sinasabi niya.

And then he heaved a sigh. "You abandoned our daughter! After giving birth to her, you just want to... get rid of her! Because you didn't want your family to know, right? Ayaw mo sa anak natin!" At parang sumabog na rin siya sa harapan ko ngayon.

Parang ang galit niya ay naipon at ngayon pa lang niya napalabas sa akin...

Umiling naman ako... I still don't understand...

I tried to calm myself down.

I want to talk to him properly. I want to know that truth!

I looked at him with still wide eyes. "Please explain to me..." I asked him and I almost begged him to tell me truth now...

At pakiramdam ko ay sobrang nanghihina na ako na kailangan ko nang masasandalan... But I fought all my feelings and emotions. I tried to put it aside for a while. I have to remain standing here in front of Elias. I have to know that truth from him...

"Really, now..." Tiningnan niya lang naman ako na parang hindi pa siya makapaniwala o hindi siya naniniwala na wala talaga akong alam...

I gritted my teeth as I looked at him. "Really, Elias. Because I don't get any of this! I don't know what you're talking about right now... So, please, explain it to me..." I almost begged him already. Because I just want to know what happened... I want to know the truth... Please tell me...

Elias was looking at me. "I can't believe this..." He was hesitant to believe me that I really didn't know...

Umiling naman ako sa kaniya. "You're telling me that Theia... is our daughter? But how... How did it happen..." I shook my head. I feel like I'd go crazy because my mind couldn't take this... "How..." Ang lakas ng tibok ng puso ko na parang sasabog na ang dibdib ko. At pakiramdam ko pa ay parang hihimatayin din ako sa sobra-sobrang mga nararamdaman ko ngayon...
