One year later....
Sadie's POV
"Damn! Ang kakapal ng mukha niyo'ng lumapit dito na walang dalang impormasyon!" Sinigawan at dinuro ko ang dalawang investigator na nasa harapan ko.
"Baby, control your temper.. they're still doing their best to find her." Mom tapped my shoulders.
"Aughh! This is all my fault Mom, kung hindi ko lang sana.....kung di ko lang sana--"
She cut me off. "Shhh... its not your fault baby, dont blame yourself." Panglalambing niya. I sobbed and hugged my Mom tightly she hugged me back.
I signaled the two to leave us here alone, kaagad naman nilang sinunod ang utos ko.
Humiwalay ako sa pag kayakap kay Mommy at pinahid ang mga luha ko.
"Mom, we shouldn't cry! Nawala lang siya. And I heard her promise na babalik siya.. all we need to do is mag tiwala sa pangako niya." I smiled to assure my Mom. She just smiled back.
"Your sister is a tough girl.. pero hindi ko lang talaga mapigilang mag alala." My Mom looked down.
"I know Mom," and we hugged again.
It's been a year since Sandy leave us. Nong una syempre nagalit sa kanila sina Mom and Dad. Pero kaagad naman iyong nawala nang naramdaman nila ang pagkawala nito. I've already explained what really happened in Mom and Dad, nong una nakita ko ang kamay ni Daddy na nag form ito fist pero naiiintindihan din naman daw nila, they're not blaming bal sa nangyari. They even tried their best to find her, pero she already cutted her connection from us. *sigh* I can still remember her promise the time when I was rushed in the hospital 'I made my decision. Sorry, Bal! Promise I'll be back soon, I'll be back at haharapin ko ang parusa nila. Palalamigin ko muna ang ulo ko, bal.. Haa?' Nong oras na yon gusto kong imulat ang mga mata ko at pigilan siya, pero hindi ko kaya kasi ang sakit ng ulo ko.
Kahapon lang ako na discharge at hanggang ngayon ay naka wheelchair parin ako, yes almost 1 year ang pamamalagi ko sa hospital, actually last 1 month palang ako nag mulat mula sa pag kaka coma and I thank god kasi hindi ako nag ka amnesia.
"Savanna, Sadie.. the lunch is ready, halina kayo dito." Tinawag kami ni Dad from the kitchen. Pinagbakasyon muna nila si Carmela at nag sign na din si Dad and Mom ang tao para sa kompaniya nila. And about Sandy's school? Si Mom ang nangangalaga don at in fact kanina lang natapos ang pag paparenovate non.
"Yes, Dad!" My Mom and I said in chorus and smiled at each other. Mom pushed my wheelchair into the dining at pinaharap ako sa table.
"Hey Dad, you look so frustated?," I ask him as I bite my lower lip to prevent from laughing.
Kinamot niya ang batok niya at hinubad ang apron. "That Calderita, frustates me! Ang hirap lutu-in! Kung di lang talaga yan para sa anak ko, naku!" He frowned but he suddenly hugged my Mom from her back, Mom just giggled so Am I.
Dad caressed Mom's tummy. "Hey baby, sorry Dad's not a good cook." At umiling iling pa habang natatawa. Me and Mom just grinned.
And yes! My Mom is pregnant for her 2nd baby. I'm so very excited kasi sabi ng doctor it's a baby boy! Maumbok narin ang tiyan ni Mommy because its already 8th month! Mom is just fooling dad na mag luto ng calderita, akala kasi ni Dad, Mom is still in her LIHI stage.. kaya sinunod niya parin, haha!
"What are you laughing at, li'l princess?" Dad ask me and sat in the chair beside my Mom's.
"Nothing Dad, I just find you cute when youre fustated. Haha!" Me and Mom laught while Dad just 'tsk' ed.
I hope na sana Sandy will be back soon, para makasama namin siya habang nag tatawanan at nag babantay sa magiging lil bro namin. I heave a deep sigh at sinimulang kumain just like my Mom and Dad did.
'Sandy! Bakit kailangan mo pang umalis? Hindi ba pwedeng harapin mo nalang ang nagawa mo, No! I'm not blaming you pero kasi may nagawa ka rin. Haayystt! San lupalop ka na ba ng mundo? Wla na tuloy akong kalaro dito *pout* bruhang ipis ka, haa! Humanda ka talaga kapag nakabalik ka na dito, yun ay kung babalik ka *sigh* I want you to see our lil bro! Anong gusto mong ipangalan sa kaniya? Bumalik ka na kasi dito, wengya ka! Nakakamiss kana eh!'
Ipapalapa ko talaga yon sa tigre kapag bumalik siya.
Third Person's POV
"Yeah men, thats what I really thought in the first time I saw her, she's really beautiful-- Nah! A godess!" Kwento ng isang Binatilyo sa kaibigan niya.
"Are you planning to court her?" His friend ask him sersiously.
"Hey man! Dont give me such look. But nah-ah! I prefer to be kicked by my Mom than courting her.. she's a sadist!"
"But she's beautiful," Pangungumbinsi pa ng kaibigan.
"Yes she is. She's smart, tough, wealthy--she's perfect!" Mangha nitong tinignan ang dalagitang umuupo sa unahan nila. Nasa kanilang classroom sila ngayon, wala pa ang kanilang prof. kaya sila'y pamsamantalang na ke-kwentohan tungkol sa isang babae.
"Nah! She's not." Pag rereklamo ng isa. Tinignan naman siya ng maigi ng kaibigan.
"How could you say that Altheo? Are you blind?" Bwelta ng binatilyo.
"Tsk. That's not what I mean." Umirap pa ang sinasabing si Altheo.
"Then what?"
"She have no family." Mahinang bulong ni Altheo na ikinagulat ng kaibigan.
"Tss. Where did you get that information, Altheo?" Taas isang kilay niyang tanong.
"I search about her, Garry." Sabi ni Altheo. "Let me rephrase what I've said, she's from Philippines..the information says that she have a wealthy family in her country, and he have a twin, but her twin is the reason why she's leavin' here with herself." Patuloy niya. Nabigla naman si Garry sa nalaman.
"Then make her feel that she's not alone her." Sabi ni Garry.
"You mean, I? Why? How about you?" Takang tanong ni Altheo.
"Yes you. Sorry about this bro, but I'm going to leave this country."
"What? When? To where?" Tanong ni Altheo sa kaibigan at malungkot itong tinignan.
"Yes I am. Tomorrow in the morning will be my flight to the Philippines." Malungkot nitong saad.
"I'm gonna miss you." Saad ni Altheo at niyakap ang kaibigan.
"Me too." At niyakap ito pabalik.
'See you soon, Philippines. And goodbye for now, Alaska.'
