SHEINA ARAGON

Chapter 8

"Iho, where's sheina? buntis na ba siya?"

I almost cough my throat out when the juice that I was drinking went to my fucking nose.

"What?! Ma!"

After the mission, my mother visited me on my apartment here in US where I was located near the military base. After she discover that I went to Russia for Sheina--well that was she knew but I'm there for something NOT for Sheina--but i didn't attend that bussiness because of some matter about the night at Sheina's house.

"Oh c'mon Kristoffer, You're an Aragon. Strong blood run into your veins, we have great genes-" But I interrupt my mother saying "No." Sambit ko para tumigil na siya sa kakapilit sakin pero nginitian lang ako ng aking butihing ina at humalikipkip siya sa harap ko--she's always like that when she have something she knew before me.

"Ma, I know that look." Dagdag ko pa pero mas matamis lang siyang ngumiti bago tumayo.

"Where are you going--" hindi ko na naderetsyo ang pagpigil sakanya ng magsalita siya habang naglalakad papunta sa pintuan ng apartment ko, binuksan niya ang doorknob at nagsalita ng hindi ako nililingon.

"I already know the answer, I'm just here for confirmation son. And by the way, I don't have a gay son." And the door slam shut.

Nanghihina akong pumadaosdos sa sofang aking kinauupuan, kinuha ko ang isang maliit na unan at ipinatong ito sa mukha ko at sumigaw doon sa inis.

"Fuck this!" I said to myself, tinapon ko ang unan sa kung saan bago padabog na tumayo pero napahinto ng maramdaman kong nagvibrate sa suot kong short ang cellphone ko, kinuha ko ito ng hindi tinitingnan kung sino ito.

"BAKLAAAAA!" Inilayo ko mula sa tenga ko ang cellphone at halos gusto ko na itong itapon dahil sa sigaw ng taong nasa kabilang linya, nakilala ko kaagad kung sino ito-nagdadalawang isip kung paparayin ko ba ang tawag o hindi pero sa huli hinayaan ko nalamang.

"What do you want?" I coldly ask and stares outside my window were it was a nice weather.

"Bakla naman, wag ka namang ganyan!  This is the first time n sinagot mo ng mabilis ang tawag ko. I know naman na iniiwasan mo ako kaya naman tumawag ako--" pero hindi ko na siya pinatapos at pinatay na ang tawag pero tumawag siya ulit pero this time hindi ko na ito sinagot at inoff ko nalamang ang cp ko.

"I don't really fucking know now what's going on to myself!" I cuss and ipen my window but unfortunately I saw something that I didn't wanna see.

My eyes bulge out off my head because I'm looking my Mother and Sheina walking together to my yard, papunta mismo dito sa bahay.

"What the fuck!" Mura ko at nagmamadaling nagtungo sa entrance ng bahay ko at galit silang sinalubong.

"Bakit kayo magkasama? at mama akala ko aalis kana ng US?"

Tumawa lang si mama sa harap ko at kitang kita mismo ng mga mata ko kung pano naging super close na ng dalawang ito.

"You know change of plans when I just saw Sheina down the road so I stop over to her, saka diba iha pupunta kana man dito." Mabait niyang sambit kay Sheina na ikinangiti naman ng matamis ng babae.

"Let's go inside iha."

"What? Ma!" Napakamot ako ng ulo sa sobrang inis.

"Ano naman gagawin niyo dito sa bahay-" Napahinto ako sa pagsasalita ng may mga taong may dalang mga gamit ang biglang pumasok at inilapag ang mga karton sa sahig.

"Ano tuh?!" Hindi ko makapaniwalang sambit sa dalawang babae na komportableng nakaupo na ngayon sa sofa.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you na kailangan na ninyong tumira sa iisang bobong ni Sheina, you two are married after all."

"WHAT?! You decided with none of my consent? I'm a grown man mama, I can decide on my own-" Pero nakita kong tumayo si mama at nakita kong tiningnan niya ako ng madilim.

I forgot that she's my most dangerous mother.

I gulp but clench my jaw at sinamaan ng tingin si Sheina na walang imik sa tabi.

This is all her fault! bakit kasi pinagpipilitan niya pa ang sarili niya saakin! tama na na isang beses lang kami nagsama-after that! Ayoko na! Hindi niya ba alam ang salitang ayoko o manhid lang talaga siya para maramdaman ito! Even my own mother is arguing to me because of her! Damn this shit!

"Look son, this is for your own good. For your marriage to grow stronger." Sambit ni mama at hinawakan ang balikat ko at tiningnan ako ng may sinsiridad sa mata.

Hindi nalamang ako sumagot at hinayaan siyang magpaalam saamin at umalis hanggang sa kami nalamang na dalawa ni sheina ang nandito sa loob ng bahay ko, hindi siya umiimik kaya naman naihilot ko ang sintido ko.

"Are you happy now!" Madilim kong sambit kay Sheina.

"Kristof, I can explain."

"Explain what? You already became close to my mother who always pushing me to you! I don't even love you let alone like!" I paused and look at her. I saw how she was taken aback by my words, some tears began to fall into his eyes.

"Look I didn't-"

Gulat akong binawi ang mga sinabi ko't lumapit sakanya ngunit nakakailang hakbang palamang ako'y umatras siya palayo saakin, habang ang kanyang mga mata'y walang tigil sa pagluha.

"I heard enough."She coldly said before dashing off, leaving me alone, shock, pain and guilt consumed me.

"I--i'm sorry.." I whisper at napahilamos nalamang ng mukha.

I mess it all up, damn it.

Kinuha ko ng aking cellphone at idinial ang numero ni William, nakakailang minuto palamang na ring ay sinagot na nito kaagad.

["Yow, why you called?"]

"Can we met? It's about your sister."

["What happen?"]

"I'll tell you on the way." I grab my keys and went to my car but immidiately paused and look at the second floor of my apartment, where Sheina currently staying alone. She didn't leave my house after all and that's why I'm glad. I need to fix things before I pursued her  about things.
