Winter (Book 2) [ON-HOLD]

Winter - Chapter 11

Angel's POV

"Thank you for taking care of my siblings." the woman named Nikki said. She's the girl who I bumped into.
I just nod and looked at the two who are starting to be dramatic. "We will miss you, ate." Lia said, then she hugged me really tight. "Bumisita po kayo sa bahay namin, ate." Alex hugged me too. I bend my knees to embrace them also. "I'll miss you both. Don't be lost again, 'kay? Be good always."

"Yes, ate." they said in unison. "Thank you again, Angel." she said before taking the twins back. "Let's go home." she added. "Does mom knows?" asked Alex. "Not yet." Nikki answered. They're gone. Why do I feel heavy?

What Nikki mentioned earlier felt familiar. "Done? Shall I bring you home?" Nigel asked. "Finally, you're here." I said using my sarcastic voice.

"She'll recognize me for sure." Nigel mumbled. "It's been 11 years, Nigel.."

"I know my daughter, she's my girl version." he sighed. "Let's go home then, I'm exhausted."

We are now walking heading in the exit of this mall when a man suddenly stops in front of me. With those serious face he has, those tantalizing eyes looking directly to mine. Broad body, a tall and handsome man indeed.

"What can we do for you?" Nigel asked when I didn't get to talk. "I need her." he said. "Who are you?" that's all I could say but he didn't bother to answer my question.

"Sorry but my sister isn't available for now, as you can see she's wounded." Nigel uttered, "Please excuse us, she needs to rest." with that we walk passed by him na parang hindi siya nag-e-exist.

"Nigel, that's not good." maktol ko rito. "We did great, tignan mo nga kasi ang kalagayan mo ngayon tapos you'll talk to a stranger?" here it goes again.

"He doesn't look a bad guy to me." I shrugged. "Akala mo lang iyon." he mumbled. "Tara na nga." ani ko at nagdire-diretso na ako papunta sa kinaroroonan ng sasakyan namin.

Nigel drived me home safely at pagkarating namin sa bahay nandoon na yung sasakyan ko at wala na itong gasgas. Thanks to Heather.

"Hindi na ako magtatagal. Take care." pagkasabi niya ay agad na niyang pinaharurot ang kotse nang makababa ako. I sighed before entering our home.

"Damn, I forgot to take my medicines." I whispered under my breath. "Finally, my baby's home." bungad ni mama at bahagya niya akong niyakap.
"Did you already eat?" masuyo niyang tanong habang tinutungo namin ang kusina. "Yes, mama, iinumin ko nalang yung gamot ko." I smiled.

"Natutuwa ako at tinanggap mo na rin na inumin ang gamot mo, baby. Soon, you'll remember your real family at ibabalik ka na namin sa kanila." mama said with her sad tone.

I hold her hand, "Ma, baka kung ano ang mangyare sa inyo if you'll bring me back to them."

"Baby, magiging okay lang kami at isa pa welcome na welcome ka rito sa bahay natin." saad ni mama. Ngumiti lang muna ako sa kanya at kumuha ng tubig saka ininom ang gamot na reseta ng doktor.

"Ma, naaalala ko na po yung tunay kong mga magulang." pag-amin ko sa kanya. "Really?" may bahid ng tuwa ang pagkakasabi ni mama. I nod my head, "Konti palang po."

"That's good to hear. Ipagpatuloy mo lang iyan, baby." ani mama sabay yakap sa akin at halik sa noo. "But.. I don't want to leave you." malungkot kong sinabi. "We'll be fine." paniniguro naman ni mama.

"Your kuya D called and he's looking for you." biglang sinabi ni mama. "What did he say?" kunot-noo kong itinanong. "Kinakamusta ka and baka raw hindi umayon sa napagkasunduan niyong araw yung pagbalik niya rito."
