FLASHBACK

4 months ago....

"hi tita!!!" niyakap ko agad si tita nang makita ko sya sa labas ng airport.

"i missed you. how are you?"

"i'm okay po."

"good. so shall we?" pumunta na kmi sa car nya. ang ganda ganda ng london. >_____<

- - -

" wake up..here we are nicole." sabi ni tita kaya nagising ako at bumaba na ng kotse.

"hospital? ano po gagawin naten dito? sino po dadalawin nyo?"

"wala tayong dadalawin. we are meeting someone." ahh.. okay. sumunod nlang ako sa kanya at pumunta kmi sa loob.

nkarating kmi sa isang kwarto na nkapangalang "Sherry Nicole Blake." kaano ano kaya namen to?

binuksan namen yung pinto then i saw a girl. . . . . .  . . . . . . O_____________O

"tita???? a.. ako ba yan???"

"it's your clone dear." CLONE?? what?? huh?

"more like your twin sister. but she's really your clone. actually there's more. that's why my brother, your dad, cloned you is because. . . . . . . . . you're dying."

O________O

di ko na alam kung ano magiging reaction ko. it's so....unbelievable. wala akong sakit!

napalingon kmi nang may pumasok na isang doctor .

"hi carly. we met again." sabi nya. huh? nagkta ba kmi?

"let's talk in my office so i can explain to you clearly." sabi ng doctor kaya nagtungo na kmi sa office nya.

"my name is Dr. Jake Owen i was one of the closest friend of your dad. the last time we met is when you we're still 4."

"listen carefully . okay? when you were born, you were really a one healthy baby girl. but when you turned 4, your mother suddenly got sick and died. maraming tests ang ginawa namen so we can find out kung anung nangyari sa kanya, we found a rare disease not yet discovered. a disease na naglalabas ng symptoms siguro mga 1 week before you die. we did some tests in you too . and nag positive. and, we figured it out na nahawa mo ang sakit mo sa mom mo nung nasa sinapupunan ka nya."

"your dad told you that your mother left you is because he didn't want you to blame yourself. but it ended up na it's like he doesn't care for you because he can't help it but remember your mom's death when he sees you." sabi ni tita. i can't. . . . is this a dream? anong kalokohan to? but. . . . it does makes sense. that's why my dad . . .. hates me..

"can it be cured?" tanong ko. ang unang tanong na lumabas sa bibig ko.

"sadly not yet. no medicine, no operation, no cure . ang nalaman lng namen is unting unti pinapahina ang puso mo ."

di ko na napigilan ang luha ko. i... why me? TT_______________TT

- - -

nang makarating na kmi sa bahay ni tita, itinuro saken yung kwarto ko kaya derecho na ako dun at nagkulong.

why me????

"nicole, kain muna tayo."

"it's okay tita, i'm not hungry." sabi ko. natahimik nlang si tita at bumaba nlang sya.

i don't know why pero tinawagan ko si aiden pero di sumasagot. nagtext ako sa kanya at nag email. tinawagan ko rin sila chloe at kevin. di rin sumasagot. galit ba sila saken??

tinawagan ko naman si christian at sumagot sya.

"hi nicole. how was your trip? kumusta ang london? malamig ba?"

"ahh. konti."

"bakit ka pla napatawag?" natahimik muna ako.. sasabihin ko ba sa kanya o hindi? T_T

"wala nman. i just missed you guys. tell them nlang na i miss them ha."

"ahh. sure. sige nagclaclass pa ksi eh. take care always ha. para di ka magkasakit ksi malamig dyan. sige, bye!!" binaba ko na yung phone. i'm not ready yet. di pa nga ako ready sa mga nangyari ngayon. after all these years, parang nagising lang ako sa isang panaginip. di ko namalayan, nakatulog na pla ako.

- - -

"morning tita." sabi ko sa kanya na naghahain ng almusal.

"good morning dear. kain na tayo." kumain na kmi ni tita ng almusal at umalis ulit sa isang cafe shop.

"sino po hinihintay naten?" tanong ko

"there he is." sabi nya na sabay turo niya sa lalakeng nag park pa lng ng car nya. si dad pla. tumayo nman ako nung dumating sya .

O_______O dad?? niyakap ako ni dad ng sobrang higpit. i've never been hugged. T_T i was so happy na finally nakamit ko yung hug ni dad.

"I'm sorry nicole. i'm sorry. i'm very very sorry anak. about everything. about how i treated you and how i raised you. . .. " naiiyak na ako pero pinigilan ko at ngumiti nlang.

"Sit, Victor." sabi ni tita kaya umupo sya.

"anak, i'm sorry i have kept this to you. i was trying not to blame you but i don't know why but i just can't help it."

"kasi nga ako tlaga ang may kasalanan. nahawa ko si mom sa sakit ko."

  "no it's not. it's not nicole."

"that's why even if i try sooo hard, to be perfect for you. i still can't. bata palang ako, nagwowonder ako why your eyes we're so cold to me.naiinggit ako nun kila kuya at micha. how you treat them like they we're your treasures. prang naisipan ko tuloy dati na si kuya nlang kaya naging dad ko. you know dad, i don't hate you because of that. but nung tinago mo, tinago nyo yung sakit ko. i just can't help it na mainis."

"pero.. naintindihan ko na kayo kung bakit nyo tinago. pwede ko bang mkita ulit si. . . . si sherry?" sabi ko sa knila. tumango sila at nagtungo na kmi sa hospital.

"dad, why did you cloned me?"

"my friend, suggested. pag .. . . pagmamatay ka, we can restore your memory, attitude , everything to your clone. and she will live just like you. this clone, is still unconsious because it's still empty. we cloned you when you we're 4 . and here she is. lumalaki din sya na parang tao. humihinga every single day pero ang memory nya ngayon, is nung 4 years old ka plang. we thought that, there's a possibility na itago muna yung real body mo. they say that they will store your body in a freezing room until we find a cure."

"so you're saying, pag mamatay ako, habang naghahanap pa ng cure, sya ang bubuhay ng buhay ko. pero she isn't me. she's. . . she's not my clone either. shes my sister. twin sister."

"yes. more like a twin sister."

nagtake ako ng ilang tests at may ginawa pa sila na kunin ang memory ko mula 4 years old ako hanggang 8 years old. hanggang 4 years lang dw kasi kaya nila sa ngayon. i was just sleeping with a helmet-like gadget on my head and felt nothing.

all we did in london is take some tests, tests and tests. to find a cure. kadalasan ako nasa kwarto ni sherry. at kinukwentuhan sya kahit alam kong di nya maririnig. kinuwentuhan ko sya tungkol kay aiden at kila chloe, kevin and christian. how they made my life happy and complete.
