TWISTED FATE (On Going)

MEET KLEIGH

This will be a short update, okay? I will just introduce Kleigh. Enjoy!!!

PIA'S POV:

Nakakatuwa naman si lola. She really cares about me at ramdam kong tanggap nila ako ni lolo sa pamilya nila. I know kuya Andrew isn't comfortable with this whole set up yet. Sino ba naman ang magiging kumportable? He'll marry a stranger kahit sabihin pa natin na siya ang nag'offer ng kasal na ito. Honestly, naaawa ako sa kanya. He's torn in between his happiness and his responsibilities. Pakiramdam ko isa akong kontrabida sa love story nila ni ate Cassandra. Kaya ko namang magsakripisyo mag-isa. He doesn't have to be on the same boat with me. Kasalanan ko naman ang lahat ng ito eh. Sana kung hindi ako naging tanga.

I am currently sitting here on the sofa while watching my favorite TV show, Sofia. Oo na, ako na ang isip bata. Nakakatuwa kaya 'yun. Andaming series tapos may moral ka ding makukuha. I was laughing out loud when the door in the living room suddenly swung opened. It was Mom with a bowl of freshly baked potato with mushrooms soup. Ah! Ang bango. Ngayong naglilihi na yata ako ay nagiging weird na rin pati ang taste ko sa pagkain. I certainly hate mushrooms before. Bukod sa ang bantot ng amoy nito, I also find it slimy and too soft for my teeth. Mas naeenjoy ko kasi ang matitigas na pagkain. Ewan! Pero mahilig ako sa candy and peanut brittles eh. Hahaha. Pero ngayon, para akong adik na inaamoy-amoy itong mushroom kahit nasa lata pa. Natatakot na nga si Tanya eh. Baka magmukhang si Super Mario daw ang anak ko. Hahaha.

"Baby, I made you your favorite." Masayang ani Mom as sat beside me.

Ngumiti na lamang ako sa turan ni Mama at sumandal sa balikat niya. She asked the maids na ipagsalin ako sa maliit na mangkok ng niluto niyang sopas.

"How are you feeling my dear?" Tanong niya while touching my little tummy in a circling motion.

Hindi pa naman malaki ang tiyan ko. Infact, it's too small for a one month baby. Pero sabi nga ni mama, ganyan talaga kapag una and since I have a slender body, my tummy won't easily grow big. There is an advantage naman for me for having a not so obvious pregnancy para 'di muna mahalata ng mga taga University. I know this marriage will be a big issue, most especially that I will be marrying the campus heir who happens to be a famous and a taken hearthrob. Nag-aalala na nga ako sa mga magiging reaksyon nila once they found out na kinasal na kami ni kuya Andrew.

"Are you okay Pii?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni mama when she heard nothing from eh.

Nag-aalangang lumingon ako sa kanya and painted a smile on my face to ease the weariness that I am feeling.

"Yes ma. Kain na tayo?" Asked I as I take the bowl from the maid and took a sip of my favorite soup. Wala parin talagang kupas ang talent ni mama sa pagluluto. Delicious as ever!

Naconcious ako bigla when I saw Mom staring at me through my peripheral vision. She was teary eyed yet smiling habang nakatingin sakin. Matapos ang pangyayaring iyon ay hindi pa kami muling nakakapag-usap ni mama so technically this will be the first time again. Until now, I'm still ashamed of what I did. I haven't even asked for my parents' forgiveness yet.

Nagulat ako when Mom suddenly pulled me into a hug. "Anak, patawari mo si Mama ah?" Bulong niya while weeping on my shoulder.

Minsan ko nang nakitang naghysterical si Mama. That was when kuya was accused of cheating during his final exam in College. She really has the tendency of hurting us physically, lalong lalo na kapag naiinis. Pero nasanay narin naman kami. Minsan nga nangungurot pa yan sa singit eh. But, hurting me emotionally was really unexpected. I understand that she was on the verge of her emotions at nasaktan ako dahil 'yun ang unang beses na nagsalita siya nang hindi maganda tungkol sakin.
