The Broken Billionaire (Billionaires Series 1)

Kabanata 28

Antsy. That's  what he feel right now while they're heading to his brother's room habang nauunang maglakad sa kanya ang asawa.

Bawat pag pagulong niya ng kanyang wheelchair ay mas lalong lumalakas ang kabog ng kanyang dibdib. Hindi niya alam kung paano haharapin ang kapatid. Marahil ay galit ito sa kanya dahil sa nangyari mahigit tatlong taon na ang nakakalipas. Maybe King is killing him through his mind.

He cant blame him. Tatlong taon mahigit amg nasayang sa buhay ng kakambal niya ng dahil sa kapabayaan niya. He stop wheeling his self and clutched his chest. Masyadong mabilis ang pag tibok nito and there's a lot of things spinning in his mind. He just want tho run away.

Ipinatong niya ang magkabilang kamay sa kanyang ulo, trying to calm his erratically heart. Then, he felt a warm hand touching his pale cheeks. Agad siyang nag angat ng tingin.

"Are you alright?" His wife said. He shook his head. Agad niyang hinapit ang asawa at ikinulong sa kaniyang bisig.

"No I'm not. I'm fucking scared Annisa. What if King's mad at me?" He whispered. Naramdaman niya ang pag hagod nito sa kaniyang likuran na unti unting nag pakalma sa kanya.

"Duke, kailan mo ba aalisin sa isip mong hindi mo kasalanan ang nangyari? No one blame you Duke, ikaw lang." Annisa said calmly.

"But-"

"Stop. Kung gusto mong malaman ang sagot sa mga iniisip mo, you must see him. You waited and pray for it. Ngayon kapa aatras?" Annisa asked. He shook his head like a kid.

He sigh, before he wheeled his self again. Maka ngiti naman ang asawa niya habang nakasunod sa kanya.

Nang nasa tapat na sila ng kwarto ni King ay muli nanaman siyang inatake ng kaba. But he tried to be strong. Annisa looked at him with assuring smile before she open the door.

Una niyang napansin ang mas maaliwalas na paligid. There's a lot of decoration and letters in the wall. Balloons and flower every where. And in the center there is his brother sitting on his bed while laughing with his Mom and sister.

Unang nakapansin sa kanila ay si Claire. "Kuya Duke!" She cheerfully chirped.

Nakangiting lumingon sa kanya ang kakambal. Mas umayos ang itsura nito ngayon. But when there eyes meet, agad nabura ang ngiti nito. Napalitan ito ng pagkalito at pagkabahala. Tinitigan siya nito. Mula sa kinauupuan niya hanggang sa mukha niya.

"H-Hey Dude." He nervously said.
Nanlalaki ang mata nito habang titig na titig sa kanya. Annisa push him near at King's bed. "Kamusta?" Kinakabahang wika niya.

"W-what H-happened?" King stuttered. Duke's forehead creased. Nagtataka siya sa pananalita nito at ang benda nito sa ulo.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"T-to you. Why a-are you in t-the w-wheelcha-chair?" Tila hirap na hirap na wika nito.

Siya naman ay natahimik sa tanong nito. Nang mapansin niyang nag aantay ito ng kanyang sagot, ay napahinga siya ng malalim. He don't have a choice but to explain everything to him.

After he tell what happen before, agad na tumulo ang luha ni King. Guilt is written in his face.

"I-I'm so-sorry. God! I'm Sor-rry." Hagulgul nito. Agad naman itong nilapitan ng kanilang Ina at inalo. Si Claire ay inabutan ito ng tubig. While him and Annisa is just silently watching him.

They called a nurse and doctor to make him calm. Tinurukan siya ng pangpakalma kaya agad itong nakatulog.

When the doctors done, kinausap niya ang mga ito. "Hows King's condition Doc?"
