ANLEY'S
PAGKADATING ko agad sa resthouse ay bukas ang pintuan. I didn't bothered to put my ride sa loob ng garahe. Mabilis agad akong pumasok sa loob. Tahimik ang sala. Dumiresto ako ng kusina tapos sa hapag. Malinis ang paligid. Bumalik ako ng sala tapos pinuntahan ko ang mga kwarto. No one is around pati kwarto na okupado ni Franco ay pinuntahan ko. Malinis ang kwarto pati loob ng banyo din.
Kinabahan ako bigla at bumalik ako sa baba tapos lumabas ako ng bahay. May napansin ako sa nay trash bin and there's an empty cans of beer. Binalikan ko ang kusina at deresto ako sa may ref at binuksan ito. The four packs was gone! Then i hear some footsteps mula sa labas kaya lumabas din agad ako. It's my sister Anrie. Akala ko si Franco. I did say his name on my head.
"May problema ba?" tanong nito agad sa akin dahil napansin yata ang pag-aalala ko at pagkadismayado ng itsura ko because I am expecting na it's him.
"Wala naman." pagsisinungaling ko sa kanya. She can really know where I am. "Napadalaw ka yata dito?" pag-iiba ko ng usapan dito tapos niyaya ko syang maupo and we take a seat on the couch. She's on the long ciuch while I take the single one.
"Dan sent off your daughters to Palma's house." hayag agadnito sa akin habang seryoso ang ipinupukol na tingin sa akin. I'm not surprised about it but she's a bit mad about it.
"Marco can take care of them and Brie is willing to do it." kalamado kung hayag sa kanya but I am worried at baka sumulpot sya bigla at magkita sila ni Anrie. I know how she hates him too. I keep some glances on the door at baka sumulpot sya bigla.
"I took your daughters from her because they don't have any rights."
"Brie is their godmother and Marco has a right." hayag ko kay Anrie. She's capable on insulting others really. She always finds a way to do what she believes is right.
"Their father is nowhere to be found. At least you gave them his name to them."
"Maybe if I will do this right. I mean he left but I shouldn't let him."
"You did the right thing kahit ayaw namin. They have his name attached."
"It is only the very least of it Anrie." hayag ko sa kanya. It's not really enough na Braganza silang tatlo.
"Tinulungan kitang hanapin si Franco Braganza but nothing happened. Dan is there with you."
"Dan isn't their father. I lied to him and I won't stop looking for him." I seriously told her. Napakunot noo sya sa sinabi ko. I know she will make reactions. "Let my daughters do what they wish to do my dear sister." I added.
"Kapatid mo ako Anley. I know what's the best para sa mga pamangkin ko." hayag ni Anrie. She's pursuing her wants for my daughters.
"Alam ko Anrie. Have you forgotten that Franco planned to propose on me but i left dahil sa sister-in-law nya. Alam mong indenial ako sa nararamdaman ko kay Franco. Since hayskul he always been the guy i fall in love with and Serene was always be the first choice. I am the geek and he was this nice guy with brains. And then Priyanka Padukone came into the picture."
"At pinili nya ang first priority nya kaysa sa'yo. He was gone for three years tapos babalik ng ilang sandali then mawawala ulit? He didn't know about the girls."
"Brie told me that he knew about them Anrie but I made a choice. Pinaniwala ko sya na engage na ako kay Dan and that he isn't important to me. I saw pain on his eyes before I left him that day." and i hate remembering it! Pain cripples inside my chest. He always takes the adjustments. And I know that na nakikita ni Anrie that I am hurting too.
"Not everything is meant to be."
"He is for me Anrie and I am sure of that. We never did give him the priority to explain his side of the story. We didn't give him any chance. Kaya hindi ako tumitigil dahil I need to know everything. Maybe there's something what will give us a clarification to everything. About Priyanka and her family."
