The Chef | Alyanna

Kabanata 11

"How's your head? Is it still aching?" Grayson asked but I didn't utter a single reply.

I don't wanna talk. I just want to be alone and think things through. I don't fucking know what's happening right now. Kung bakit nangyari ang lahat ng ito sa'kin.

"Yanna?" Pukaw niya sa atensyon ko.

Napabaling naman ako sakanya but my eyes remained blank as I stared at him with nothingness. "Leave me alone, Gray."

Nakita ko naman ang panlalaki ng mga mata niya. "You remembered-"

"Just shut up and leave me the fuck alone, okay?!" Hindi ko na alam kong ano ba ang dapat kong gawin. I don't deserve any of this shit but I still suffered which is incridebly unfair!

"O-okay. I'll just tell your husband that you're okay-"

"Hindi ko na siya asawa. The moment he left me hanging and believed that whore instead of me, kinalimutan ko ng asawa ko siya." I said.

Narinig ko ang malalim nitong pagbuntong-hininga bago umalis ng kwartong tinutuluyan ko.

Now, I stared at the wall again. Trying to remember ny memories that once again, like a wave, it past through my mind. I remembered things but those things were the worst part of my life that I've been through. I remembered how Archer Falcon called me with names that aren't really me. Pinaniwalaan niya ang babae niya kaysa sa'kin. Then I got pregnant but someone did something to my car na naging sanhi ng pagkawala ng aking mga memorya.

Those things that I wouldn't want to remember but it was all so fast that I can't catch up.

"So you remembered..." A voice from my behind.

I remained still and stoic for seconds until I heard his footsteps getting near. "Stop." I spoke.

And he did. "Why did you broke me?" I suddenly asked.

I heard his breath hitched when I ask those words. Is he affected? Because if so, it'll be a joke. He was even the one who pushed me away when he believed that bitch.

Ilang minuto na ang lumipas pero wala pa rin siyang sagot. Alam ko naman ang magiging sagot niya, I just need confirmation na magmumula sakanya. But his silent says it all.

I sighed while feeling the pain in my chest. How pathetic of me.

"Let us go please, Archer."

"You can't do that. I won't let you take away our children-"

"I won't keep them away from you. We can talk about arrangements and your visitations. Hindi mo na ako asawa, Arc. And it's not good for the kids to assume things. We will tell them the truth."

"Alyanna." His voice was cold and hard pero hindi ako nagpa apekto. I'm tired of him always dictating my every move. Napaka-unfair niya!

Tumayo na ako mula sa kama at nilagpasan siya. But then he stopped me by grasping my arm.

"You won't get away from me, Alyanna. You know that. I won't let you." He whispered.

"And you know me too, Archer Falcon."

Hinatak ko ang braso ko mula sa pagkakahawak niya at lumabas ng kwartong tinutuluyan ko. His men were outside when I got out, I asked where the twins are and they quickly told me where my children are. Halata ang parang pagkabahala nila, they can't look at me directly lile they did when they first took us here. Naaalala ko na ang mga memorya ko kaya't ang mga kilos ko ay parang nagbago na din.

The kids were eating when I arrived to the kitchen. But when they saw me, kaagad silang napatigil at mabilis na tinakbo ang distansya papunta sa'kin.

"Mama!"

"Phoebe and Phoenix, my babies. Aalis na tayo dito." I hugged them tight.

Napabitaw naman sila sa'kin and they have this weird expressions. "Pero ma, nandito si papa." Phoenix said while making a face.

"Aalis na nga tayo dito, Nix! At hindi natin siya papa!"

Napabuntong hininga naman ako bago sila pinaharap sa'kin.

"Guys, please aalis na tayo dito." I closed my eyes in frustration dahil parang 'di ko magawang sabihin sakanila ang totoo. "Yes, He is your father pero hindi na tayo pwedeng tumira kasama siya."

Natahimik naman doon ang dawalang bata pero nakatingin lang sa'kin si Phoebe na parang walang emosyon habang si Phoenix ay nakayuko lang.

"I get it," My son lifted his head then stared at me. "Hindi po kayo kasal."

"Phoenix..."

"'Wag po kayong mag alala mama, naiintindihan ko po. Meron po akong kaklase noon, kasama niya po si mama at papa niya pero hindi po sila nakatira magkasama dahil may ibang pamilya po ang papa niya. Meron din po bang ibang pamilya si papa?"

Napasinghap naman ako sa sinabi niya. "No, no, Phoenix, kasal kami noon ng papa mo pero hindi na ngayon. There are circumstances that you both still won't uderstand because you're still kids. The only thing that I can grant you right now is to have your time with your father, hindi ko kayo ilalayo sakanya because it is your right to be with him ngayon apam niyo nang siya ang tatay niyo. But hindi ngayon ang oras para dito, we need to get out of here." I said calmly kahit puno ng takot ang puso ko.

But we were disturbed when another footsteps was heard in the room.

"I told you, Yanna, no one's going anywhere."

Tumayo ako at hinarap siya. There's anger blazing around his eyes while I just stared at him without emotions.

"And I told you too that you know me well, Arcon."

After I've said that, we heard commotions outside the mansion. Kumunot ang noo niya habang nakatingin sa'kin.

I grinned at him. "My sisters won't ever let me be endangered nor my kids. Hindi nila hahayaang tumagal pa ako sa'yong demonyo ka!"

"Alyanna Marie..."

"C'mon kids, aalis na tayo dito."

But I was caught of guard when his men block our paths. I can see them holding their guns pero tago iyon para hindi makita ng mga bata. That scene made my breath rugged.

"Asawa kita, Alyanna. And you are never gonna leave me again!"

"Huwag kang magsalita ng patapos, Archer Falcon."

Pagkatapos kong sabihin 'yon, biglang nagtumbahan ang mga tauhan ni Archer. Then four women with their husbands looked at me.

"Alyanna," Storm acknowledge me.

"Umalis na tayo dito." Ani ko at hinatak na ang mga bata palayo sa kanilang ama na ngayo'y walang emosyon lang na nakatingin sa'min habang nakakuyom ang kamao.

Nilapitan na ako ng iba ko pang mga kaibigan at sumama sa'kin palabas. But before I lost my sight to Arcon, I saw my friends husbands said something to him.

"We're sorry, bud. If hindi kami sumunod sakanila hihiwalayan nila kami." Those were the last words I heard.

Pinasakay ako nila Storm sa isang chopper bago ako binigyan ng jacket.

"Okay ka lang ba, Yanna? Did he do something sa'yo?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Venus Camille.

Umiling naman ako at ngumiti sa kanila. "I'm okay girls." I said weakly.

"G-grayson said to me na bumalik na daw ang ala-ala mo. Is it true?" Mahinang tanong ni Nessa.

I was too tired na tango na lang ang naisagot ko sa tanong niya.

"I will explain everything sa inyo kapag nakabalik na tayo. But please, just let me rest for a while first."

"Okay, Yanna. Rest there and we'll take care of your children."

I smiled to them before closing my eyes. "Thank you..."
