Wrath Of The Past (UNEDITED)

Special Chapter

Matthew Kier Aguas

"Matthew, stay here. Our visitors is now here." My mom said to me as I slowly sitting beside Leo. I nodded and watched her to walk out to the entrance of the mansion.

Maya maya lang kinulbit ako ni Leo na nakaupo sa tabi ko, tumingin ako sa kaniya at nakita ko ang antok niyang mga mata.

"Kuya, I'm sleepy." He murmured. I'm not blaming him it's already 10 in the evening for his age it's normal to be sleepy, he's 4 years old anyway.

"We'll just wait mom." Sabi ko. In the age of 9 years old I already know from the very start my responsibilities, from being the first born I know I have a huge contribution in our family.

"Matthew! Leo! Come here!" Sigaw ni mommy galing sa sala. Nakarinig na rin kami ng ingay dahil sa mga usapan at kamustahan. Sabay kaming tumayo ni Leo at naglakad papuntang sala at doon nakita ko ang isang lalaki na sa tingin ko'y kasing edad lamang ni daddy. At hawak naman niya naman ang kamay ng isang batang babae.

Tumagal ang titig ko dito. She's cute, even she didn't smiling. I heard that her name is Messeah.

A night that we expected to be happy turned to sadness and mourning. Because of Lorna Ignacio, Leo died, I saw it on my own eyes. And after that night our life became guarded because of possibility of threats from Lorna Ignacio.

"Matagal na rin pala...." narinig kong sambit ni mommy. Nandito kami ngayon sa puntod ni Leo. After six years we already move on from the death of Leo at siguro dahil napag alaman namin na nacoma si Lorna kaya napanatag din kami.

"Gusto kong imbitahan si Jairus sa hacienda, Mateo." Sabi ni mommy kay daddy. Tahimik akong nakatayo habang pinagmamasdan ang puntod ni Leo ngunit ang aking tainga ay nakatuon sa usapan nina mommy.

"Hindi kaya tumanggi na naman yun?" Tanong naman ni daddy. Kumunot ang noo ko. Bakit naman kaya yun tatanggi. Is it because of what happened about six years ago?

"No ako ang bahala." Pinal na sinabi ni mommy.

Like mom's plan she invited tito Jairus from our mansion. Hindi na ako nag abala pang mag intay sa kanila kaya naman ang ginawa ko ay bumisita ako sa kuwadra para kumuha ng kabayo.

"Senyorito pinapatawag kayo ng mommy niyo." Hindi ako lumingon sa katulong na nagsalita.
"Is the visitors are there already?" I asked while I opened the gate of my favorite horse.
"Opo." Sagot nito.
"Tell her I'm coming." I said.

Pagkaalis ng babae ay agad akong sumampa sa kabayo agad ko itong pinalakad papuntang dalampasigan.
But I suddenly pull the rope just to stop the horse from walking when I saw a girl slowly walking through the sand of the sea shore.

Her hair is dancing with the wind as she walking. Titig na titig siya sa kalawakan ng dagat, para bang wala siyang nakikita kundi ito lamang. Tinitigan kong mabuti ang side view niya. Her narrowed nose is perfect to the view of the sunset.

I know she's the daughter of Tito Jairus the one I saw when the day Leo died. But I didn't know that she will grow up faster!

And when I came near to her she already expressed her angry face that made my heart explode that I cannot imagine.

But atleast the day didn't finished without talking, I'm confidently know that I made her comfortable with me. Kaya naman ng umalis siya ng hindi nagsasabi sa akin ng kahit paalam man lang ay nagbigay sa akin ng iritasyon!

I know she already saw me! But she didn't say goodbye! Alam kong mababaw pero....hindi ko maiwasang manghinayang. Maybe she didn't say goodbye because my presence is not so important.
