Althea POV
Ayoko ng marinig ang makakasakit lang sa akin. Tama na ang narinig ko. Sapat na ang mga rebelasyong nagpalinaw ng lahat ng katanungan sa isip ko na pilit kong isinasantabi noon.
How can I be so stupid? I'm so fvcking naive! Too inlove! Too trusting!
They planned it all.
Everything is plotted and I played right into it. The truth of it all is rushing in my head like a fastforward movie and I had the lead role without me even realizing it.
I've been manipulated like a puppet in a fvck up string!
Abuelo is Papa's father.
I'm his grandchild.
The long lost grandchild.
Macky and Vanna are my half sisters.
Damn!
And I'm fvcking married because they arranged it!
It all made sense now, why Macky is throwing me those hateful glances. Why inspite of Vanna's smile, I can still feel indifference with the way she talks and looks at me.
My mother was the reason why Papa left them. They hate me.
Now I know why Abuelo is telling me that that I'm one of his grandchildren. Because I really am one!
Now I know why the old man talks of taking care of me and all that shìt!
Well newsflash Abuelo, you are nineteen years too late!
Now I know why Howard suddenly took an interest with me. It was all planned.
Such hypocrite lying bastard!
Fvck!
It was all in their deceitful plans.
And they played me. They fvcking played me!
Every step I took as I ran away from the mansion is a step to the realization of my situation. I ran away from them but the facts of what I learned came with me. It stuck with me like a poisonous vile making my stomach churned.
Howard married me because I look like the girl he cannot have?! Such a lame excuse to marry!
He married me because I'm a fvcking replica of the face he loves! Well now, he'll regret it!
He married me because he wanted me to be close to my Papa's family! Well I wont!
He married me because that old man somehow made him do it! Fvck them!
That is all there is to it!
Lahat ng tanong ko ay nasagot. Pero lahat ng sagot ay muling nag iwan ng tanong. At ang mga tanong na ikinalubog ng pagkatao ko. Mga tanong kung bakit ako naging tanga at inosente?
Bakit hinayaan kong mapaglaruan ako ng ganito?
Bakit hindi ko naisip na imposible talaga sa gaya ko ang pagkainterestan ng isang Howard Alcantara?
Howard Alcantara. I felt the bitterness in my mouth as I rolled that name in my breath. I am starting to abhor him and his góddamn name which he deceitfully linked to mine.
Howard Alcantara. The deceitful devil!
I tripped on a flat cement street. Maybe because I am running with wobbly legs or weak knees. Or maybe because of the tears that blurred my vision. I just tripped on the cold ground as I sat myself and hugged my knees and I rock myself back and forth seeking to find comfort with my own warmth. I rested for a little while, trying to compose myself again to gain strength to make another run for it. Then I can feel the slowly hardening of my heart. The slowly gripping of coldness that is enveloping my whole being.
As I stood up on that ground I knew I've changed. I knew on that instant I have changed for the worst. They made me changed for the worst. As I walked that empty street in a moonless night, I vowed with raging anger building inside me...
I vow on my mother's grave that this will be the last time that Papa's family will ever see me.
I vow that this will be the last time that Howard Alcantara will play me, this will be the last that he will deceive me. For I will be much wiser and stronger and more deceitful than him!
Fvck them all! Fvck you Howard Alcantara!
