Her name is Serendipity

panimula ng pagtatapos

"Wala ka bang ginagawa rico? lagi ka nalang sumasama sakin!" it's been what? two days, after that "late night talk" and i'm happy to say that we gotten closer, like before. he's that rico na nakilala ko. yung walang pake pero deep inside meron pala. and when i say katulad dati, nagaaway na naman kami

"Bakit ka ba nangengeelam eh sa gusto kong sumama eh" bahala siyang mabored sa pamimili ko mamaya sa mall. hala sige.

sumakay na ko sa kotse niyang pabulok na, yaman yaman ayaw bumili ng bagong kotse, nung nagusap nga kami two days ago, nasiraan pala kami ng kotse! arujusko. umuulan pa talaga hah. kaya ayon sa kotse kami natulog tapos sinundo kami ni smeraldo.

namili na ko ng mga pagkain sa grocery dahil ubos na ang stock ko sa bahay, inubos nung magkakaibigang fred,rico at smeraldo, hay nako. i was trying to choose over what to buy sa chocolates ng maramdaman kong may biglang sumunod sakin, sobrang dalas ko tong maramdaman ever since nagpakita ulit yung kambal pero di ko sinabi sakanila dahil mag aalala yong mga yun. nilabas ko nalang yung pepper spray ko at nagsimula ng lumakad.

tapos na kong mamili ng walang pagaalinlangan pero biglang nawala si rico. nasan kaya yung kupal na yon?

"AY RICO!" Napasigaw ako sa gulat ng bigla may humawak sa braso ko.

phew si rico lang pala.

"ikaw ha! iniisip mo na naman ako." i kept on laughing kahit di ko alam kung bakit, you know that feeling when you're finally satisfied about the happiness you have, yung walang hesitation? yung alam mo na walang hahadlang, but everything have endings, lahat natatapos. yung akala ko lahat okay na hindi pa pala. My happiness ended when this man in black come out of nowhere, firing guns there and everywhere. i can't say a word, i can't hear anything, i feel numb.

tears are starting to fall from my eyes. until everything went black.

Fred

nakaupo ako dito sa opisina ni rico habang hinahantay ang tawag nila. simula palang binalaan ko na siya pero ano? nagpakita parin siya diba? ngayon na buhay na ni serendipity ang nakasalalay, ano kaya ang gagawin mo kapatid?

ilang taon na ba kong nagbibigay sayo? sawang sawa na ko. we both felt that we're home when we are with serendipity, pero hindi naman pedeng tayong dalawa ang pillin nya. and we both know that it's me, pero bakit pumasok ka pa sa storya? di pa ba sapat na pinagmakaawaan ko si mama sa mga gusto mo? nah, i shouldn't think about you right know, i should think about how will i make you remember all the things i have done for you, pero kinuha mo parin kung ano yung akin.

"Boss okay na po. nandito na po kami." i stood up when i finally heard my men in black.

"Then what are you waiting for? let's go." agad akong dumiretso sa kotse ko at nagsimulang maglagay ng pekeng mga sugat, let's just say na i will save serendipity today to make her realize that i'm her prince charming and not my stupid twin.

Pagkarating na pagkarating namin sa lugar na pinag taguan nila, ay agad kong narinig ang mga hikbi ni serendipity. hindi naman nila sinakan si serendipity pero iyak ng iyak.

dali dali akong pumunta sa lugar kung nasaan si serendipity ngunit nagulat ako sa pagharang ng dalawang lalaki sa harapan ko.

huh, wala to sa sinabi ko.

"you really like playing dirty games fred? then, let's play it." nanlaki ang mata ko ng marinig ko ang boses ni rico sa likuran ko at ang pagalis ni serendipity ng lubid na nakatali sakanya.

"We've been changing identity since we we're a kid, and that's because everybody knows, that our parents only has one child. and that's me. plus the fact that our father is a ex convict. hindi ako sumali sa isang gangster club oh ano dahil sa paraan ng pagtrato nila sakin, at lalong lalo na hindi ka namatay. wow. sana pala sumulat ka ng isang libro para isulat lahat ng kasinungalingan mo. at si serendipty? dude. we both know that she love me from the very start."

Rico

"Mamaya na susugod yung mga men in blacks ni fred ano bang gagawin mo?!" sigaw sakin ni smeraldo

"dang. shut up smeraldo, you know that we have a plan! at hindi natin pedeng siraain yon! alam kong nagaalala ka kay serendipity pero bro, girlfriend ko yun kaya manahimik ka pede ba!"

flashback

"bakit ba kase kelangan nating itago lahat ng to rico?" dang. galit na.

"bub. we both know the situation. alam nating baliw si fred. he's obsessed with you. we can't tell them. keep on playing bub." that's my last word to her. di ko alam na pagkatapos ng lahat ng yon ay mawawala lahat ng memorya niya.

"Hello po? do you know serendipity santiago? this is Mariano hospital."

"P-po? h-hospital? ano po nangyare??" the nurse explained everything to me. my bubby got into a car accident. i did't expect that to happen until one of fred's men in black called me and told me that everything is planned. umalis ako sa Pilipinas at pumunta sa ibang bansa, to fix everything including fred. i know nobody will hurt serendipity, at alam ko aalagan siyang mabuti ni smeraldo.

coming back to the Philippines knowing that my serendipity hates me sucks. alam kong binaliktad ni fred ang kwento dahil sa mga reports sakin ni smeraldo. now that eveything is fixed i can come back.

"napaalala mo na ba? smeraldo?" tumango lang siya bilang sagot. i've been doing this plan for years now and i don't want anything to ruin this.

ever since serendipity remembered everything, niligawan at naging kami ng patago. singing her to sleep. sending her good morning messages, goodnight and even goodafternoon messages, we always go to church together but since we are in a secret relationship we don't sit with each other, lagi niyang sinasabi na

"as long as we know that god is with us, we will get through this."

"Nakuha na daw nila si serendipity!" agad akong napatayo at nagayos para sumakay sa kotse

"Smeraldo! make sure that they won't hurt my girl!" smeraldo smirked as he murmured something "over protective bastard."

we make it fast as we can, dahil hindi porque alam naming walang gagawin yung mga men in blacks kay serendipity ay dapat na kaming makampante.

nang makarating kami don ay agad kong nakita ang pagmumuka ng kapatid kong bastardo. enough with your stupid games fredirico.

"you really like playing dirty games fred? then, let's play it." i smirked. agad na tinanggal ni serendipity ang lubid na nakapalibot sakanya at agad na lumagay sa likod ni fred.

"We've been changing identity since we we're a kid, and that's because everybody knows, that our parents only has one child. and that's me. plus the fact that our father is a ex convict. hindi ako sumali sa isang gangster club oh ano dahil sa paraan ng pagtrato nila sakin, at lalong lalo na hindi ka namatay. wow. sana pala sumulat ka ng isang libro para isulat lahat ng kasinungalingan mo. at si serendipty? dude. we both know that she love me from the very start." bub. i'm going to end this. trust me, i love you. i said in my mind as is look at her with a gaze full of love.
