Atty. Calvry

Chapter 26

"It's been two weeks, hindi ko parin siya mahagilap." I groaned, almost in the verge of crying.

"Saan ba kasi nag-punta?" ani ni Mallory.

Magka-video kaming apat ngayon.

Si Mallory hindi ko na masyadong nakakasama dahil ang gaga ayaw na lubayan yung studyante niya.

"Hindi ko alam, ang sabi naman ni Anastacia nag-take daw ng leave kasama ang pamily niya." sagot ko.

Pft. Family bonding.

"Ilang araw ba?"

"Indefinite leave daw eh." I pouted.

"Ano ba huli niyong pinag-usapan?" Beau.

"Huwag daw akong magpapakita sa kanila hangga't kapatid parin turing ko sa kanya." sagot ko at napadukdok sa mesa.

"She let you eat her and you're still treating her as sister?" Clementine rolled her eyes. "Wow. Stupid." she coolly added.

And today, I confirmed that Clementine and Vera are siblings. They're both scary and straight-forward.

Hindi ata uso yung filter sa mga bunganga nila.

I shouldn't have told them about what happened to me and Vera. In my defense, I was asking for their help at that time, kaya ayun nasabi ko sa kanila ang nangyari sa amin.

"Hindi ko naman alam na tutuhanin niya yung sinabi niya na huwag akong lumapit sa kanila eh." problemadong saad ko.

Pagkatapos ng huling pag-uusap namin dalawa dun sa Letizia Cafe ay hindi ko na siya muling nakita pa, kinabukasan pinuntahan ko siya sa bahay niya pero wala na sila dun. Ang sabi ng caretaker nag-bakasyon daw pansamantala.

Nung pumunta naman ako ng Bliss Academy ganun din ang sinabi ni Anastacia. Nagtataka na nga si Anastacia sa amin pero ayaw kong pangunahan si Vera, gusto ko sabay kaming magpaliwanag kay Ana.

Alam kong ikakagalit ni Ana kapag nalaman niya ang nangyari sa aming dalawa lalo na't may anak at asawa si Vera.

Beau hummed. "Hayaan mo muna siya sa ngayon, suyuin mo nalang kapag bumalik na sila." suhetsyon niya.

"But I don't know how t-" I suddenly stopped talking when I realized something. "Anong sabi mo Beau?"

Parang may mali, eh.

"Ang sabi ko hayaan mo muna siya ngayon, suyuin mo nalang pag nakabalik na siya." pag-uulit niya na ikinagulat ko.

Gasping in shocked, I covered my mouth as I look at her in disbelief. "Y-You know that we're talking about my sister right?"

"Yeah?"

"My sister, who is married and has a daughter?"

"And so?"

I gasped. "Oh my gosh! Where is Cleofel Beau?! You are not her! You are a freaking skinwalker!"

I know, Beau.

Hindi ako susuportahan nun lalo na't ayaw nun sa incest, tapos magiging homewrecker pa ako.

"Stop being over-dramatic." irap nito saka sumimsim sa kanyang juice.

"You guys heard everything what she said, right? Clems and Mall?" binalingan ko ng tingin ang dalawa kong kaibigan na napapailing ngayon.

"Yes." sagot ni Mallory habang si Clementine naman ay bahagya lang tumango.

"The heck? Y-You're supporting me now, Beau?" di makapaniwalang tanong ko.

"Yeah, I'm done with the tasks that Clems had given me. So, you have my support."

Nagtataka ko siyang tinignan. "What made you change your mind."

"Because I finally understand everything now." she chuckled. "And like what Ate Vera said, it's for you to find out."

"I'm your friend guys, bakit hindi nalang kayo ang magsabi sa akin! Pa-suspense pa kayo eh!" asik ko.

"Hell nah. Like Clementine, Ate Vera is scary as fuck."

Oh.

Well, true~

"Ate Vera is also our friend, Frei, ayaw kong pangunahan siya." napabaling ako kay Clems ng magsalita ito at seryoso akong tinignan. "She'll explain everything to you soon."

"Nabubuang na ako, sa totoo lang."

"Mabuang ka lang." tawa ni Mallory, medyo may accent pa ang bisaya niya kasi nag-aaral pa lang siya konti.

Ano ba ang kailangan kong malaman?

"Alam mo, nagtataka ako, dalawa yung ulo mo, pero nabobobo ka ng dahil sa babae?" I snapped my head towards Mallory, before raising my middle finger on her. "Tapos lawyer ka pa." she added.

I smirks at her. "Okay lang, parehas na tayong nabobobo sa babae ngayon." I said, earning a glare from her.

"Hey, I was also clueless at first, si Clems kasi eh, hindi sinasabi agad, gusto niya talaga ako pa ang makaalam." sambit ni Beau.

Nang mapatingin ako kay Clementine ay nagkibit-balikat lang ito kay Beau.

"How old is her daughter, Frei?" Beau asks after a while.

"Einna is 3 years old, turning 4 this coming July." I responds.

"Anyway, I've never seen her daughter, what she looks like?" kalaunay tanong ni Mallory.

Remembering Einna, it made me smile instantly.

"She's the cutest! She has Vera's face feature, like she's a mini version of Vera except for the color of her eyes because it's like greenish or maybe grayish? Something like that."

After I'm done talking my friend suddenly went silent but they have a geniune smile in their faces, it makes me smile too, because it's not all the time I can see Clementine smile.

"Si Ate Vera ba ang namimiss mo o yung bata?" kalaunay bigkas ni Beau saka tumawa.

I giggled, but that slowly vanished when I realized something.

"What's wrong?" Mallory voiced filled with worry.

"If I'm going to pursue her, then Vereinna will have a broken family because of me."

Muli ay natahimik silang tatlo.

"Do you trust me, Freirain?" Clementine.

Without a second thought I nodded.

"Take a risks." she uttered, voice filled with determination.

She's right. I should.

I'm sorry, Vereinna but I really love your mother. I promise that I'll treat you as my own and will give you a lot of siblings.

My cheeks suddenly blushed thinking about me and Vera in the same bed. And then the memories of what happened to us in her house suddenly flashed into my mind making my little FreiFrei twitched.

"Why the hell are you blushing?" Mallory raised her eyebrows. "What are you thinking?"

"She's thinking about her and Ate Vera in the same bed."

I gasped. "H-How did you know?!" fuck? Is Clementine a mind reader?

She smirks. "I'm right, then?"

Oh shit. She got me there.

I just rolled my eyes at her before bidding my goodbye. I need a cold shower, my thoughts were making me a sinner.

'Opps. I'm already are.' I thought.
