Chapter 39: Secret ♤

Trisha's POV

"Thanks for the ride" I smiled at Byle before leaving his car and heading to the tall gates of my mansion.

Ayoko lang na makita ni Dad na may naghatid saking lalaki at baka kung ano ano nanaman pumasok sa isip non.

While trying to be very very invisible sa pagpasok ko sa bahay and strongly praying na sana'y walang tao sa hallway, I was so disappointed and embarrassed that I almost faked a faint when I saw Dad watching me with those judging eyes.

Hindi naman nya ako lagi pinapansin whenever I go home late pero lately he must be worried or something because of what happened just a week ago.

"Where were you?"

"Uhmmm... Just went to a relaxing place? To relax.. of course."

He looked at me unconvinced, but he just let it go and I followed him as he stormed in our living room.

"Kanina ka pa hinihintay ni doc. It's your daily check-up if you already forgot." He raised a brow on me when his words slowly sinks in to me.

"Oh! I'm sorry po tito!" Nagmamadali akong nagmano kay Tito Armando na friend ni Dad na family doctor na namin ever since I can remember.

"It's okay hija" he laughed as he watched me and my dad take a seat.

"Let's see, hindi ba masakit iha?"

"Hindi naman po. Hindi ko na nga po nararamdaman eh." That was a lie, laging sumasakit 'to pag may naaalala ako.

Dr.Armando just checked few things about me and my injury before concluding that i'm getting better each day. Nabanggit nya din sakin yung previous injury ko na maaaring cause ng sakit nito paminsan minsan.

Oh hell yeah, previous injury na hindi ko naman matandaan? Saan naman nanggaling yun? That I don't know kaya naman hindi maganda ang mood ko pagpasok sa kwarto.

Wait. My phone! Naiwan ko sa sala. How malas naman oh? Pagod na pagod na ako today I need to rest.

I need to relax and take a bath and-

Napahinto yung pagiisip ko nung makaramdam na may naguusap sa salas namin. Slowly I peeked and I was right, tito Armando hasn't left yet.

"Her mermories might come back."

"That quickly!? Pero kakaaksidente nya lang."

"That's why babalik ang memories nya, slowly things will trigger her and she will remember"

"YOU. Do everything you can to make sure she can't remember. no she MUST NOT remember understand!?"

"But how--"

"UNDERSTAND!?"

"I-i'll do my best."

"Sorry, you may go"

Napatakip ako sa bibig ko ng muntik na akong napatalon nung sumigaw si Dad. I must not remember? What? Ano ba yun at bakit against na against si daddy sa mga ala-ala ko?

Napasilip ulit ako ng marinig na umiiyak si daddy, wala na si tito Armando at nakayuko na lang sya ngayon habang humihikbi. I really want to go comfort him but I'm angry and frustrated. I want my memories back!

"Hon, patawarin mo ko-" he was talking to mom's pic on his phone since he hid all of mom's pictures and our family paintings as if he didn't want to see her again "-hindi kita naprotektahan ng maayos, hindi ko kayo naprotektahan. I promise you, I'll keep her safe whatever it takes." Then he rushed to the toilet leaving his phone on the sofa.
