We Only Part To meet Again

Chapter 3: Should I let you go?

PLEASE BEAR WITH THE ERRORS.. Hindi ko pa kasi na check ang mga na type ko.

Sana magustuhan nyo. :)

Three days after Albert asked someone to start an investigation , he still doesn’t have the result of Samantha’s real identity.

Albert’s POV

Hanggang ngayon, wala pa ang resulta ng pinapa imbestigahan ko.

Sino nga ba si Samantha?

Sya ba si Cesca?

Gulong gulo na ang isip ko. Kaya ngayon, heto ako ngayon, kasama ko si Valeen, kahit ko alam kung gusto ko pa nga ba syang makasama. Nakalimutan ko din ang usapan naming nung araw na nakita ko si Cesca.

“I’m sorry about the other day, nagkaroon lang kasi ako ng problema” I said as I opened the door for of my car for her.

We’re going to have a dinner with my Mom because my Mom insisted na doon kaming dalawa mag dinner.

“Okay lang, pero sana nasabihan mo ko, para hindi ako nag antay..” I felt the her pain when she utter those words. Kahit hindi pa kami ganoon kapalit ni Valeen sa isa’t isa, I know she doesn’t deserve to be treated that way.

“Albert, mabuti namna at nandito na kayo, madami akong ipinahanda para sa atin, come on..” my Mom welcomed us.

Valeen greeted her and gave my Mom a hug.

I could sense that my Mom is up to something.

Something I do not know.

As we all eat together, Mom and Valeen seemed to be so close to each other.

I want to ask my Mom how did they met, but before I was able to ask it, Mom started to talk about something I didn’t expect.

“Albert, anak, I think we should talk and plan about your wedding with Valeen.” I was so shocked with what my mom said.

Valeen just smiled.

“But Ma, isn’t it too early?” I mumbled. But it’s not my intension to hurt Valeen’s feeling.

“And besides, nakita ko na ulit si Cesca..” I couldn’t belive I was able to said it.

“Cesca??? Albert naman, Cesca is already dead!” my Mom yelled at me.

Cesca is already dead!

At di naiwasang sumagi sa isip ko na paano kung talagang wala ni Cesca? Paano kung si Samantha nga ang pangalan ng babaeng nakita ko? At sya ng aang asawa ng lalaking sumuntok sa akin?

Then I looked at Valeen’s eyes. She looked so hurt. But I’m just being honest.

“No, I saw her, nag aantay lang ako ng result, mapapatunayan ko din na buhay si Cesca.. I stood up and walked away.

“Albert!” Mom shouted.

“Excuse us Valeen..” then my Mom followed me.

“Listen to me Albert, Valeen is a very nice girl. She’s the daughter of Don Vicente, at malaki ang utang na loob ng pamilya natin sa Papa nya.” My Mom explained.

“So? Ako naman ang gagamitin nyo para magbayad ng UTANG-NA-LOOB ng pamilya natin sa pamilya nya sa pamamagitan ng KASAL?” I articulate.

“Let me finish son, Valeen is dying, she has a leukemia, ang gusto lang nya ay maging maligaya sya habang buhay pa sya.. Paano natin matatanggihan ang hiling nya Alber?”  Nakaramdam ako ng pagiging guilty sa mga sinabi ni Mama.

Hindi ko pala dapat i-take for granted ang feelings ni Valeen.

“I need more time, I still need to see the result of the investigation. If she’s not Ceca, then I will marry Valeen..”

I really don’t know what made me said those words. Dala lang siguro ng awa k okay Valeen dahil sa nalaman ko na may sakit pala sya.

Paano nga kaya kung hindi si Cesca si Samantha? Handan a ba akong kalimutan ang babaeng pinaka mamahal ko para tuparin ang hilingni Valeen?

“Hon, are you ready?” Jerome asked her wife Samantha while he was waiting at their living room.

“Give me five more minutes Hon, may hinahanap lang ako.” Samantha replied.

Samantha’s POV

“Hon, are you ready?” my husband Jerome asked me.

Nandito pa kasi ako sa kwarto naming, may hinahanap ka kasi ako bago kami umalis. We’re going back to Cebu. Hindi ko nga alam bakit biglang naisipan ni Jerome na bumalik muna kami sa Cebu.

“Give me five more minutes Hon, may hinahanap lang ako.” I replied. Hinahanap ko pa kasi yung necklace ko. Pero hindi ko naman makita. I searched all over my closet pero wala talaga.

Then I noticed a small cabinet under our bed, I never checked what’s inside, pero ngayon parang bigla akong na karamdam ng urge na buksan ito at tignan ang laman.

I was surprised when I saw a pieces of broken pieces of pictures, it looks like it is worthless, but something caught my attention. I saw a ring that was wrapped by a piece of cloth that is stained with blood.

I saw something on the ring. The initials.. ‘V’ and ‘F’.. 

Kanino naman kaya ang singsing na ito. I was about to fit the ring when I heard that Jerome shouted again.

“Samantha, matagal ka pa ba jan?” then I immediately returned the ring on the cabinet and went out of my room.

I want to ask my husband about the ring that I found, but I’m afraid he will get mad again so I decided to stay quiet about it.
