Lea's POV
I stopped crying when I felt na sumasakit na ang talukap ng mga mata ko, para akong bata na nawawala sa mall, kasi tatanga-tanga at ang likot likot kaya nahiwalay sa mga magulang, inutil.
I get all the papers and put it back again inside the envelope. I have a lot of questions on my mind, so many how's, so many what's, and so many why's...
Bakit?
I stare on Aga's profile for a second. My fore head immediately creased when I heard my Mom's voice inside my head echoing.
"Talaga? Lea, I can actually do cheat on my own even if this is already my last life. Nga pala, makipaghiwalay ka na sa fake husband mo."
"Binalaan kita!"
I gritted my teeth. So, all this time she knew all about this? Kailan pa?
I look at the door when someone opened it, it was Mom, at nagulat siya nang makita niya ako lalo na ang mga papel na hawak ko. Tumayo ako mula sa pagkakaluhod at hinarap siya.
"Ano? Nagulat ka? Nagulat ka kasi alam ko na? Were you the one who made all of this investigation, huh?!"ako
She didn't utter a thing so I gritted my teeth. Kaya pala titig na titig siya kay Aga noong family dinner, kasi naaalala niya sa rito si Tito Robert.
"So, kailan mo ipapaalam?"ako
Taas kilay kong tanong. She rolled her eyes then crossed her arms.
"Bakit may pag-iyak ka pa? At galit na galit ka pa ata? Bakit? Peke lang naman ang kasal niyo 'di ba?"Glenda
I gave her a death glare. Kahit Ina ko siya, baka kung anong magawa ko sa kanya.
"Oh!"Glenda
Tumawa siya at pumalakpak pa kaya lalonh nagsalubong ang kilay ko.
"Huwag mong sabihin na mahal mo ang pinsan mo?"Glenda
I clenched my fist and tried to hold my tears.
"Mahal mo? Oh, my daughter. Alam kong hindi ka magmamahal ng katulad ni Ag—"Glenda
"Mahal ko siya masaya ka na?!"ako
She was stunned.
"Mahal ko siya may magagawa ka?"ako
Naramdaman kong may putak na luha sa kaliwang pisngi ko kaya agad kong pinunasan 'yun.
"Then you should stop that bullshit, maaga pa naman."Glenda
I just clench my fist dahil alam kong wala akong magagawa. Agad akong tumalikod mula sa kanya nang maramdaman kong tuloy tuloy na naman ang pag-agos ng luha ko. I don't want her to see my crying, for sure she's happy that I'm crying.
I look up on the ceiling and think about Aga. I love him, I do. But it's a sin.
"Sinasabihan na kita, sundin mo ako bilang ina mo."Glenda
I shook my head, trying to wake up on this nightmare that might kill me. It actually kills me, it's killing me. I never thought that this kind of pain exists not until now.
"Anak."Glenda
She placed her hand on my shoulder kaya napayuko. I stopped from crying, I shouldn't be like this. Tinanggal ko ang kamay niya sa balikat ko at hinarap siya.
"I can make decisions oy my own."ako
I told her then go outside of that library. I hope I didn't ask Abu to play chess with me. I hope I didn't enter that library. I hope I didn't see that envelope. I hope I didn't get everything inside. I hope... Aga's not my cousin.
Sa hagdan ako bumaba. I removed all the hair from my face dahil nahihirapan akong huminga sa banas na nararamdaman ko. I stopped in the middle of the stairs when I felt something. Humawak ako nang mahigpit sa gilid ng hagdan dahil umiikot ang paningin ko. I gasped and close my eyes trying to make things better not until I lost my consciousness.
—
"Hmm.."ako
I creased my fore head while trying to use my senses to figure out where I am. I slowly open my eyes dahil medyo nasisilaw ako sa ilaw na nakikita ko. I saw all white that made ma exhale. I know where I am because of the ki d of scent that I'm smelling, hospital.
"Ma'am?"
Tumingin ako sa kaliwa ko when I heard someone spoke. She smiled, what am I even doing in here? As far as I remember nasa mansion ako and then...
"Ma'am, okay lang po ba kayo? Bakit po kayo umiiyak?"
I look at her again then wipe my tears.
"I wanna leave here."ako
"Naku, Ma'am, hindi pa po pwede."
"At sino ka para sabihing hindi pa ako pwedeng lumabas dito?!"ako
She was stunned at halata mong natakot sa akin kaya kumalma ako at umiwas ng tingin.
"I... wanna leave here."ako
I uttered at hindi ko na napigilang umiyak nang maalala ko ang lahat lahat nang nalaman ko kanina.
"Ma'am, huwag po kayong umiyak makakasama po sa inyo 'yan."
I look at her again dahil masyado na siyang epal.
"Sino ka ba, ha? At anong masama? I can cry as much as I want, it's actually good for my soul!"ako
"But not for the baby."
Napatingin naman ako sa babaeng pumasok sa pinto. She's obviously a Doctor because she's wearing a coat and a stethoscope is clinging on her collar. But... what? What did I hear?
"You can leave us, Nurse Shane."
Tumango naman 'yung nurse at lumabas ng kwarto. Punyeta, I wanna go home! I wanna flee this life either!
"Hi, Miss Torres, I'm Doc Megan and I'm an OB gynecologist."
My fore head automatically creased when I heard her specialization.
"W-what— what about you? Why..."ako
Hindi ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko dahil ngumiti na siya sa akin
"Congratulations, Miss Torres. You're two weeks pregnant!"
