Chapter 38

"LILLIAN, is the body you're in now. Half of you and her in your body."

Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig. My eyebrows furrowed. Napalayo ako sa aking mama, crossing my arms across my chest.

"W-what is this all about!?"

My mom is crying. Hindi ko naman siya matahanan dahil lubos lubos ka ang aking nararamdaman.

"Ang nanay-nanayan mo siya ang kaibigan ng nanay mo, before she died she gave you to be taken care of"

"Tao ako, pero si Linda hindi. Ang nanay mo, she is witch unlike your father who is a vampire." My fathers face is blank na halos parang handa na niyang sabihin ang lahat lahat saakin.

"Alam ni Linda ang katotohanan sa lahat. Now, why don't you ask her all of this consenquences you're about to recieve?"

Tumayo ang aking Papa at dumeretso sa labas at narinig ko na lamang ang tunog ng engine ng kotse papalabas sa garahe.

Sinalubong kami ng katahimikan. My mom is still sobbing and crying out like days. Ni hindi ako makatanong kung ganito siya. I felt bad.

"Si Lillian ang anak ni Cecillian. S-she is the one w-who is asleep in you. The other half of you who is still asleep in her own chamber."

"M-mom-"

"Sabi saakin nuong namatay si Cecillian ay binigyan siya ng isang mahika kung saan ipinatulog niya ang diwa ni Lillian at gigising lamang siya sa tamang panahon ngunit-"

She blew in the tissue before speaking again. Trembling with fear. Lumapit ako sa kaniya saying that it's okay, that she don't have to pressure herself.

"Lillian was asleep after that. Wala ng nakapagpagising sa kaniya after-"

Everyone was crying, mourning. 

Lahat ng tao'y nakatitig sa walang hiningang si Lillian. White dress that fits larger than her but suits her beautifully. every white flowers scattered on her bed.

Pale fingers,blue dark nails. Her golden hair swept beautifully in her bed. Her smell scattered in the area like a rose.

Her pale lips but still, it remains smiling. 

Nakatitig lamang sila sa nakangiting Lillian that was once a happy little joy in the family of Wallows. Everyone didn't know what happened to Lillian after what happened that night. Lahat sila'y tahimik na umiiyak. 

Kinuha niya ang aking kamay at ipinisil niya iyun. Smiling while crying.

"You, ikaw ang half of Lillian. Everyone knows and accept that Lillian will never be awake."

"We should accept, her baby, hindi niya kaya ang kaniyang katawan" 

Tinignan niya ang sanggol na umiiyak at nakapikit. The baby was painfully crying in a past few weeks. Every doctor was called but all of them said the same thing. 

Hindi kaya ng bata. 

"D-doc, ano paba ang ibang solusyon?"

I cannot suppressed the feeling I am into right now. Halos nanginig ang aking kaloob looban. My pain exruciate painfully. 

"Ng manganak ang nanay mo. You're supposed to be dead, pero hinde. You cannot take your body well, that's why. We only have one choice and it is to put you in Lillian's body, I-I'm sorry, Anak"

And after that, I felt like the whole world crashes on me. Para akong binagsakan ng langit at lupa at the same time.

Bumaling ako sa aking Nanay, wala siyang ginawang kasalanan kaya hindi niya kailangang humingi ng tawad. This family took care of me since I was a child.

"Wala kayong ginawang kasalanan, Mama. Thank y-you, for all these years gone by, hindi niyo ho ako pinabayaan."
