That Nerdy Gangster Goddess Queen [COMPLETED]

Epilogue : Start over

Life wasn't easy for me. I spent my childhood, curing my little brother and sister. Looking for possibilities and hoping that my other little bro is still alive. It made me feel, that the only way that I could make my parents proud was to complete our broken family.

Ngumiti ako kay Dyran Aze at lumapit sakanya. He gave me a hug and whispered some bullshit to my ears that made me laugh.

I put my arms around his neck and his hands were on my waist. Napa-iling na lamang sina Caden at ang iba dahil sa ginagawa namin.

Nasa kalagitnaan kami ng pagkakatuwaan ng biglang may tumikhim sa tabi namin at binangga ako.

Napataas ang kilay ko kay Cal na tumabi sakin. He scoffed and shook his head in disbelief.

"Problema mo?" I asked. "Wala. Iniisip ko lang kung yung sinabi mo ba last month ay totoo." He said and shrugged.

My brows furrowed, binawi ko ang braso ko at sininyasan ang ibang umalis. Well, we all expected that he'd act this way.

"Na ano? Na kahit pareho kaayo ng mukha ng kambal mo, ikaw padin ang makakakuha ng atensyon ko?"

Tinignan niya ako na dilat na dilat ang mata. I teased him by making my eyes larger too and laughed at his face.

"We were just teasing you, you know."

Sinimangutan niya ako at inismidan. Naglakad siya palayo sakin at naglaro sa alon.

I smiled as I stare at him play with the waves. He never changed, umaakto padin siyang bata.

Nilapitan ko at tumabi sakanya. Tinignan niya ko pero nanatili ang tingin ko sa dagat.

"They told me everything, week lang akong nawala ganunkana kabaliw kakahanap sakin?" Pagbibiro ko. Mahina niya akong sinuntok sa balikat at sarkastikong tumawa bago ako iwan at naglakad palayo, pabalik sa cottages.

Napangiti ako habang pinagmamasdan siyang sipain ang maliliit na bato sa daan niya. I turned my back to him and faced the sea. It never failed to calm me.

A month ago, it was a bloodshed. And now, everything finally came at peace. The nightmares and regrets disappeared into thin air. I was finally free.

Tumatawa akong tumakbo at agad inakbayan si Dyron para hilain patungo sa cottages.

My family welcomed us and gave us plates, it was lunch time at kakarating lang namin dito sa Boracay para makapagbonding kaming pamilya, we brought Element Gang too ofcourse.

We ate, while dad was cracking up some dad jokes. Nathan was treating Nathalie like a baby and Kris would just laugh at her twin's irritated face dahil napipikon na ito sa pagturing sakanya na parang bata.

Element Gang was on the other side of the table, teasing with each other while eating. They were so happy, everyone is happy!

"You okay sweety?" Napagitla ako ng maramdaman ang kamay ni mommy sa balikat ko na bigla-bigla na lamang sumulpot. She laughed at my reaction and tickle me in my nose.

Natatawo ko yung iniwas at nilapag ang plate sa lamesa bago lumayo sa cottage habang hila hila siya.

Tahimik kaming sumilong sa mga niyogan habang pinagmamasdan ang malalaking alon sa dagat.

"We're finally complete." I said no where. Buwan na ang nakakaraan, pero hindi parin masink in sa utak ko ang lahat. It was so overwhelming.

"And you were the one who made it happen, Nathalia. You have always made me proud." Mom smiled at me and pulled me in for a hug. I cried on her shoulders at napangawa na parang mata ng maramdaman ang mga kamay ng pamilya ko na yumakap sakin, samin.

The Elemant Gang, hugged each other too while copying me. Ngumawa din sila na parang bata at nagkunwaring sinisipon. Tinawanan nila ang itsura ko ng masama akong tumingin sakanila.

"Hala galit na! Takbo!"

Nagsi-unahan silang tumakbo pabalik sa cottage habang natatawa naman silang pinagmasdan sila Dad.

"Mga loko loko talaga." Saad niya pa. Ngumiti siya sa gawi ko at hinila ako para yakapin. "Thank you, my Princess. You never let me down." Nginitian ko si Daddy ng kumalas ako sa yakap at tinaasan ng kilay si Nathan na nag-iiwas na agad ng tingin.

"Natapos na lahat, may galit ka pa din?" Sumimangot lang siya at pakipot na lumapit sakin. Kinailangan pa tuloy siyang itulak ni Dad para makalapit agad sakin. I pulled him in a hug at bahagya pa akong tumingkayad para magpantay kami.

"I'm sorry, Baby Thal." I laughed and hugged him tighter. He cried in my shoulders like a baby and I had to wipe his tears for him nang kumalas siya.

"You looked cold, but what a crybaby." Inirapan niya lang ako at lumayo ng konti sakin para punasan ang luha niya.

Biglang dumating si Dyron kaya umalis na muna sila mommy para bigyan kami ng space para makapag-usap.

"I would kike to say i'm sor--"

"Don apologize for what your father did. Hindi mo kasalanan kung ano ang ginawa niyang mali, Dy."

He smiled and shrugged. Nilahad niya ang kamay niya sakin at tinaggap ko naman iyon. Marahan niya akong hinila at dinala sa parte ng isla kung saan wala pa masyadong tao.

Naghanap kami ng pagsisilongan at parang tangang nakatayo doon. It was awkward actually, probably because of the last time that happen when we were in their hide-out.

"I hate you, you know that right?" I said. Nakahawak sa dibdib siyang tumingin sakin, acting like I hurt him.

"For someone who likes you, that sure hurts. Ang sakit mong magsalita ah!"

I laugh at his reaction at sinipa ang buhangin papunta sa direksyon niya. Pinagpag niya ang shorts niyang natamaan at hinila ako papalapit sakanya. He wrapped his arms around my waist and held my hand with his free hand.

"Would you give me a chance to prove myself to you?"

Pinakiramdaman ko ang sarili ko. Hindi ko inamin sa sarili kong nagustuhan ko ang pakiramdam ng halikan ko siya noon, I was drunk but I could never forget the butterflies I felt in my stomach when he kissed me back.

I didn't answer him, instead I pulled him by his collar and gave him a kiss. It wasn't just a peck but it wasn't long either. I let go andgave him a small smile, a big one would be so weird seriously.

"Co'z why not?" Sagot ko at tinaas baba ang kilay ko. He laughed before pulling me in for a kiss again.

Kita mo tong lalaki'ng to. Namumuro na agad sa halik. He let go and pulled me in for a hug. Niyakap ko siya pabalik, while my head was resting on his chest. I could hear his heartbeat, it was loud and fast. I smiled, it was just as loud and fast as mine.

And that was how the nerdy gangster goddess queen fought her trials in her life. She dreamt of being normal, but she knew she wouldn't be able to do that while her enemies are just lurking around the corners. She almost lost her family but then she succeed in completing it back. She found new friends whom she never thought she'll have. And even found herself a man she know she would love eventually.

That Nerdy Gangster Goddess Queen is no other than me, your Nathalia Cayen Hamada, signing off.
