Trapped By Him

CHAPTER 74

Mary POV

Its already 9 pm in the evening and I am here in the veranda with my brother. Katatapos lang nung mini celebration namin sa pag babalik kuno ko daw at napagusapan namin na mag uusap kaming ngayong gabi para daw makapag bonding kaming dalawa pero ni-isa sa amin ay wala pang nag sasalita. Buti na lang merong alak na nakalagay sa maliit na table kaya kumuha ako ng isang baso at ininom ito para mag karoon ako ng lakas ng loob para mag salita. Balak ko sana mag salita kaso naunahan ako ng kapatid ko.

"I'm sorry" Una niyang sabi sa akin kaya napatingin ako sa kaniya at nakita ko siyang nakayuko lamang. Mag sasalita na sana ako kaso napatahimik ako sa sinabi niya

"If I only discovered back then in that party that you're my long lost sister then I wish I had welcomed you right away when we met" he said while feeling remorse

"It never occurred to me that the sister I am with is not the real one because we've been together since we were kids. But as we grew up she became a spoiled brat, at first I thought it was just normal but I suspected that something was wrong and it suddenly occurred to me that, what if she is not my sister? When our parents died, she just cried when our parents got buried and then before and after that, she acted normal as if our parents never existed. That's when I asked Dwayne for help since my sister is obsessed with him when they met on her 10th birthday" mahabang paliwanag nito sa akin at kasabay nito ang pag tingin niya sa aking mata

"When I met you on a bachelor and bachelorette party, you just look like my late mother. I also remember when you wear a black dress back then, you have a mole on your chest and neck. If I remember it right, you also have mole on your back since you wear a backless dress. You have the same pattern of mole on my late mother that's why I saw my mother on you and I was certain when I met you right now, you're my sister" he said while still looking at me especially to my eye

"Your eyes is the same just like my late father. Everything about you is the same" saad nito at hindi pa rin inaalis ang tingin sa akin

"But I remember back then when we first met, you already judged me because a nameless family like me will enter the social circles" sambit ko sa kaniya habang inaalala yung mga nangyari nung una naming pag kikita sa  party

"It was normal to our society to judged one another. If you get hurt, you lose" sagot nito sa akin 

"Actually the Monteverdes are not a nameless family. They are one of the powerful family in Asia that can be on par with Charlotte's family but I said back then that you are nameless because I never heard that they have a daughter called Mary" sabi nito sa akin na ikinagulat ko

On par sa pamilya ni Charlotte? Yung fiance ni Dwayne? Lahat ng nasa orphanage ng Monteverde ay pare-parehas ng apelyedo kaya ang akala ko ay normal lang yung may ari  ng orphanage at hindi ko naisip na mayayaman sila.

"I also heard that you were pregnant with Dwayne's child but you lost it because of that fake" sabit nito sa akin at nagulat ako nung niyakap niya ako

"I'm so sorry for your lost, Mary" mahina nitong saad sa akin at hindi ko alam pero biglang tumulo ang luha ko sa aking mata

Ito pala ang pakiramdam na mayakap ng sarili kong kadugo. Matagal na akong nawalan ng pagasa na makita pa ang tunay kong pamilya dahil ni-isang beses walang nag hahanap sa akin. Madalas din ako mainggit tuwing may Family Day sa school tapos ni-isang magulang o kamag-anak wala akong kasama na umattend. At ngayon, bigla bigla ko na lang malalaman na may kapatid pala ako, hindi ko alam kung ano ba dapat maging reaction ko.

Labis ang saya na nararamdaman ko ngayong araw ngunit siguro mas masaya kung buhay pa ang magulang ko. Baka tumalon pa ako sa tuwa kapag nakita ko silang buhay at kayakap ko katulad ng kapatid ko ngayon
