LEAGA STORIES (EDITING)

Adopted Daughter? 3

-Atasha's-

"hayst! di ko alam kung san ako pupunta!"

I sat down and think. It took me minutes before figuring out where to go.

alam ko na! matawagan nga si tita vice! Siya ang isa sa mga bestfriends nila daddy!
He's really famous and he loves me too.

So I dialed his number.

"hello baby? why did u call?
gising na ba daddy mo? musta si Lea?kumain ka na ba? asan ka?o h bakit d ka sumasagot?"

"eh kung tumigil po muna kayo para makasagot po ako!"

"Ay okay. Sorry, so what's wrong?"

"Kasi po, uhm. Can I stay over? For like a couple of days? Please?"

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you. Ingat Atasha."

"O my gosh. Thank you po. I'm on my way. Bye."

So I made my way to Tita's house.

-Vice's-

I'm at home waiting for Atasha to come. Hay nako, malamang sa malang nag away nanaman ailang mag ina. Jusko!

I'm just scrolling through my phoen when Lea called.

"yess what do you want?"

"Is Atasha with you?"

"she's on her way! What happened? She told me that she'll me staying with me for a couple of days. Did you two fight again?"

"Okay thanks, bye."

And she dropped the call. Babaeng yun talaga!

after 10 mins ay dumating na si Lea.

"Where is she where's my daughter?"

"wow ha? mabuti pang gawin ko ang bahay ko na isang orphanage!"

"Funny, now, where the hell is she?"

I looked at her and she looks really concerned about the being of Atasha.

"Teka nga lang! kailan ka ba naging concerned kay Tasha ha? bakit ngayon ay atat na atat kang mahanap sya at natataranta ka pa?"

"TOTOY! sya si Nicole! si NICOLE ATASHA MUHLACH!"

Pasigaw niyang sabi at naiyak na ako. Hindi dahil sa anak niya nga si Atasha kundi dahil tinawag niya akong TOTOY!

Dinala ko siya sa living room.

"All this time kaharap ko lang pala anak ko? I wasted so much time. I hated her. I even hated Aga for adopting her because in my mind, she will never be Nicole. How ironic right? I was never a mother to her. I was a villain in her life. I was the worst. Now tell me? Pano ako makakabawi? Pano Vice?"

And she cried even more.
And Atasha came. Shit!

-Atasha-

"hi tita vic--"
I wasn't able to finish what I was saying because I saw mom. Right next to tita. Crap. What to do now?

When mom saw me standing she ran to me and gave me a very tight hug. She's crying, what happened?

"I'm sorry anak. I really have no excuse sa lahat ng kasalanan ko sayo. I was mean, I was rude, I was the worst. But I'm sorry Atasha. I am deeply sorry."

"Can you not! Let go of me Lea!"

That was rude of me.

"Atasha, listen. Remember Nicole? I found her."

I raised my eyebrows and crossed my arms.

"Well, good for you. You can now leave."

"Atasha it's you. You are Nicole."

I was froze. Couldn't move, couldn't talk. But I can feel my tears falling.

I nodded. And then realizations got me.

"Oh, okay. So that is the reason why you're here. That's the reason why you're asking for my forgiveness. Telling me how much you love me. Because unfortunately, I am Nicole! But I wonder, would you have done the same if I'm not the real Nicole? Would you cry that hard and beg for forgiveness if I was only an adopted child? I guess not. So stop with that act Lea. No matter what you do, you can't change the fact that you are the worst mother!

Then a slap landed on my cheek. Damn that hurts.

"Will you two stop!"
A very familiar voice said. We all turn around and saw dad walking towards us.

"Daddy? You're okay."

He hugged me tight.

"Sweetie, you know that I love you very much and I would love to make our family work. Please give your mom a chance."

"What? Are you serious right now daddy?"

"Pretty please my princess?"
And made a puppy look. Oh dear god. No.

"Fine!"

Daddy smiled. He looked at mom.

"Hi babes"

Mom gave dad a hug and kissed him.
"I missed you so much"

They were hugging when dad called me.

"Anak, join us."

My eyebrows crossed.
"What? No!"

He looked at me.

"Fine! "

God Bless You all!!
