“Sino ka ba talaga?” nagpupuyos sa galit kong tanong.
Gusto ko siyang sampalin sa pangloloko niya sakin na matalik ko raw siyang kaibigan.
“Ikaw? Sino ka ba talaga?” napatahimik ako at kunot-noong tumingin sa kaniya sa naging tanong ko na tinanong niya sakin pabalik.
“Anong klaseng tanong yan?” inis kong sabi pero naguguluhan.
“I pity you.” mapait niyang sabi.
“Enough.” sabi nung matanda.
“Anabel, tell her the truth.” dagdag na sabi nito.
Naikuyom ko ang kamao.
“Siya? She knows the truth? Eh panloloko lang ang alam ng babaeng yan? And you'd really think na maniniwala pa ako sa inyo? I was once been fooled by her and I will never let myself to be fooled again.”
“Abi, Abi, Abigail. You are fooling yourself young lady.” sabi ni Miller.
“Hindi ako baliw para gawin yan!” inis kong sambit.
“Well, let me tell you a story.”
“Do you know that long time ago, there was a happy family who lives in the province. Are you familiar with it?” nanginig ang pagkatao ko.
Matalim ko lang siyang tiningnan.
He knows my family?
“But because of hate and enviousness, they committed a tragic accident.”
Hate? Enviousness?
“Anabel continue.” napatingin naman ako ngayon kay Rita o Anabel.
“A traggic accident that was planned.”
“Stop!” I interfered.
“Stop making up stories, will you? You already fooled me with that reason. Do you think you can fool me twice?” singhal ko.
“Is this what he taught you?” sabi ni Miller.
Sinong tinutukoy mo Tanda? My husband?
“Why don't you listen first dear bestfriend?” mas lalong sinamaan ko siya ng tingin sa sinabi niya.
Nakakasuka. How dare her to call me as her bestfriend? I would never have a liar friend.
“Are you scared to hear the truth? The story behind your past?” nakakaintrigang tugon niya.
“I'm not interested now to my past. Everything was just an incident. No one expected it. I have accepted what happened.” qiqil kong sabi.
“Really!?” galit na sigaw ni Miller.
Napalunok ako ng dis oras.
Why is he reacting this way?
“I knew what's the truth Abigail. Why? How? Everything that had happened.”
Natahimik ako.
“Because I am your grandfather's half-brother.” napakurap-kurap ako sa aking narinig.
Hindi maproseso sa aking isipan ang sinabi niya.
Sari-saring emosyon ang nararamdaman ko ngayon.
My grandfather's half-brother?
“You're not believing me because your fucking husband is brainwashing you. That bastard. He really comes from that bloodline.” galit niyang sabi.
Bakit galit siya kay Clinton? Bakit tila galit siya sa pamilya nila?
