The Good Daughter

TGD 38

Nakaramdam na naman ako ng kirot sa puso ko.

I'm hurting for mi Bella esposa.

"And you want us to believe you just because of these pictures that could very well be edited?!?"

Kumuyom ang kamao ko.

Pigil na pigil akong sapakin ang daddy ng asawa ko.

"Kilala namin ang anak namin Damon! Bea is a good daughter! Kahit na anong sama ni Bella sa kanya pinapatawad nya pa rin ito and she would even plead to us to forgive her sister! Kahit na madalas napapahamak sya sa mga ginagawa ni Bella, she always forgave her! We also know that Bea loves you, so paano kami maniniwala na magagawa nyang hindi sumipot sa araw ng kasal nyo? I'm sure si Bella ang may kagagawan nito!" 

"Stop blaming Bella for Bea's sins!" napalakas na ang boses ko.

"Damon..."

Si Bella!

Agad akong lumapit sa tabi ng kama nya.

"Tama na...hayaan mo na..." she's back to being that Bella who wore a mask.

Yung Bella na nagpapanggap na hindi nasasaktan.

"What the hell are you doing?" she started to get up from the bed.

"I don't know why I'm here. Wala naman akong sakit na katulad ni Bea kaya aalis na ako." sabi nya sabay talikod.

Niyakap ko sya.

"Stop! Hindi ko alam kung paano nangyari pero the doctor told us that you almost had a heart attack! He's going to check on you further so you should rest."

Ramdam kong natigilan sya sa sinabi ko.

"Hindi na kailangan! I was just acting! Wala akong sakit!" sabi nya sabay pilit na kumakalas sa yakap ko.

Kinabahan ako dahil sa sinabi nya.

Is it possible that she knew all along about her condition?

But why would she hide it?

"See? I told you Damon! Umaarte lang yan si Bella! Si Bea ang totoong may sakit!"

"Shut up Mr. Perez! Don't ever speak like that about my wife again!"

Pasalamat sya hindi ko pa sya sinapak!

Ihinarap ko si Bella sa akin at tumitig sa mga mata nya.

Her eyes are glistening with unshed tears.

"Trust me okay?" she silently nods at me.

I held her hand bago ako muling humarap sa parents nya if I should even call them that.

"Why don't we have them both be checked by the doctors para malaman natin ang totoo? So we can settle this once and for all."

I squeeze Bella's hand.

"But whatever the outcome is...may sakit o wala...itong babaeng ito ang mahal ko! And she is my wife!"
