Kabanata Sesenta y dos

62th Fall

Panira

"November noon, birthday ng bestfriend ni Xyrel, si Guarry. They invited me. That was the time na tumakas ako. At iyon din ang desisyon na buong buhay kong pagsisisisihan. Kung sana ay sinunod ko nalang si Mommy, kung sana ay hindi na lamang ako pumunta..."

Yumuko si Aziel. At sa pamamagitan ng pagtaas baba ng kanyang balikat ay napagtanto kong umiiyak siya. Tahimik na humihikbi. Hindi ko 'to alam. Noong mga oras naman na nakasama ko siya, hindi naman siya umiiyak. Panay ngiti pa nga siya habang kunyari ay kinakausap si baby Craziel na nasa loob pa ng sinapupunan niya.

Noong 7 months old na si baby C, nag-usap kami ni Aziel sa aming kwarto. "I've already think of baby's name..." she painted a small smile.

Napangiti ako ng malapad. "Whoa. Talaga? Ano?"

"Crazarhya Kielene Veñez. Isn't it pretty?" there's a hint of pride on my twin's voice.

I smiled sweetly while looking onto her blessed rounded tummy. "It's beautiful," puno ng paghanga kong sinabi.

"Oh! She kicked!" Aziel shrieked.

Nanlaki ang mata ko. "Really? Can I feel it, too?" hindi ko maitago ang excitement sa aking boses.

"Here..."

Hinawakan ni Aziel ang aking kamay at iginiya iyon para ipatong sa ibabaw ng kanyang tiyan. We waited for five seconds before she kicked again.

"Oh!" sabay na gayak namin ni Aziel. Our mouth both gasped and shaped a perfect 'o'.

Dinungaw ni Aziel ang kanyang tiyan, and by the sweet smile formed on her lips, I could say that she's very happy and would made a good mother to her daughter.

Every time she glanced down at her womb, her eyes would sparkle. It's as if every time she sees it, she would fall in love with it over and over again.

Puno ng kasiyahan ang puso ko. Kasi kahit ganoon ang nangyari, ramdam kong mahal na mahal ni Aziel ang kanyang anak. She loves Craziel so much.

Nawala lamang ako sa pagbabalik tanaw nang muli ay narinig ko ang boses ng aking kambal. God. I miss her voice so much.

"But still, it is pointless to regret when it was already happened."

Inangat ni Aziel ang kanyang tingin sa camera. Habang pinapanood ko siya, feeling ko totoo ko siyang nakikita ng mata sa mata. Madalas ay mapungay ang kanyang mga mata, parang ngayon.

"If destiny would allow and you'll meet Xyrel, please tell him how much I love him and how much I am sorry for everything. I am such a coward because I can't bear for him to see me this way. I won't let him see me this way." Every letter of her words is dripping with hurtful drop of pain. Damang dama ko iyong sakit na nararamdaman ng kambal ko. It maybe much worse for me. Doble doble iyong sakit.
