Today

Prologue

End

"Enlighten me please! Hindi ko alam kung bakit ayaw niyo siya para saakin!" Pasigaw kong sabi, hindi ko na alam kung anong gagawin ko.

"Lliannie please calm down." Alu naman ni daddy saakin habang umiiyak ako.

Kakauwi lang namin galing family dinner kasama ang family ni Ado and my family. Hindi natapos ang dinner ng nakita ni mommy ang family ni Ado., nag walk out si mommy.

Hindi ako umalis agad. I wanted to stay with Ado.

"Follow your mommy baby, baka mapano siya." napapaos na sabi ni ado habang nakayap ako.

Nag sorry ako sa family niya bago umalis. At tumango lang sila.

"You only met him once mama! but why are you making a fuss over him! You don't even know him." I said in between my sobs.

Kitang kita ko sa mga mata ni daddy na nag aalala siya para saakin. Nanghihina ako ng sobra. Sampal agad ang natanggap ko pagdating ko sa bahay.

"You think you know him?" Mommy backfired with a question. "We're only doing what's best for you yannie! And you even hid your relationship with him for 3 years?!"

best? what best is she talking about. Nagulat si daddy sa sinabi ni mommy.

"Tumigil kana Minnette, give your daughter a break! She's not a minor anymore! Your daughter is grown up already!" Hindi na napigilan ni daddy ang mag salita.

"Do you think you know what's best for me mommy? Best? Yung hiwalayan ko siya? that's best for you?" Nanghihina kong sabi.

Iling lang ng iling si daddy, habang pinapatahan ako sa pag iyak.

"Yes! Yan ang makakapag kalma ng utak ko yannie. Break up with him. Or else, you won't receive anything from this family. Even a damn penny."

"What?! No! I can't do that mommy!" Umiyak na naman ulit ako. "No my! Please, I love Ado so much. Please."

"It's okay yannie, it's okay. You're not breaking up with him, okay?" daddy assured me while i'm still crying.

"Wag mong konsentihin ang anak mo lysander! for God's sake! You know they can't be together!" Galit na sigaw ni mommy kay daddy. "Break up with that Medinacelli. He's no good for you."

"She is also my daughter Minnette, you can't just decide on your own. And yannie can decide on whatever she wants to do with her life already." Ani daddy.

We can't be together? How can mommy say that? He only met Ado once kanina sa family dinner namin. Lumuhod ako sa harap ni mommy. Maybe, kneeling in front of her will change her mind.

"Get up Lliannie. I said get up!"

"Mommy please, All my life i have never asked for anything. All i did was follow what you always want me to do mommy." Sabi ko habang nakaluhod at nakatingala kay mommy. "Never in my life na sinuway kita. You know me mommy? right? Why can't you-u.. bakit my? bakit ayaw mo bang maging masaya ako?"

"Up." that's all i heard, until everything went black.

I smelled the familiar scent of the hospital's medicine and all.

"Maybe she passed out because of stress, the baby's fine so there is nothing to worry about."

Baby?

"Is there anything we can do Doc?" Boses ni daddy

My eyes wandered the 4 cornered room. I saw mommy, daddy and my twin.

"Everything is going to be fine. Mr. Tiu, She just needs to rest, and please, don't do or say anything that may stress her." Nakita kong lumabas na ang doctor at naiwang nakayuko si mommy habang yinayakap siya ni daddy.

My twin brother is sleeping in the couch beside the tv. Hinawakan ko ang ulo ko, sobrang sakit. Ilang araw naba akong nakatulog?

"Yannie?" Nakita ni daddy na nagising na ako kaya dali dali siyang pumunta saakin. "Don't move that much. Stay still and just rest."

Hindi lumapit si mommy sakin. At nanatili lang siyang nakayuko. Hindi din niya ako tinitignan.

"Why didn't you told me that you were pregnant yannie? are you afraid?" Kita ko ang lungkot sa mata ni daddy habang hinahawakan yung kamay ko.

"What baby are you talking about daddy? I'm not pregnant." Umiling ako, hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi ni daddy.

"You're 2 weeks pregnant already, hindi mo alam?" nagulat si daddy ng nakita niya akong umiling.

Nagising si Lliandrew at lumapit agad saakin.

"Call Ado, Llianndrew. He needs to know that he's now a father." Daddy said with a smile at lumabas naman agad ang kambal ko, bumaling naman siya kay mommy.

"You can't tell that bastard Lysander! Her m-mom, No, Ada won't believe you. She'll only think that you still love her that after all these years you're still all about her!" Sigaw ni mommy

What is mommy talking about? Why does she speak as if alam niya ang lahat tungkol kina ado? naguguluhan ulit ako.

"Watch your mouth, or you will never see me again along with your twins." May awtoridad na sabi ni daddy at tiniklop nalang ni mommy ang kanyang bibig habang nag pipigil.

"Maybe they are doing it for revenge." mommy mumbled but it was clear for us to hear.

"What revenge are you talking bout' mommy? daddy?" Hinarap ko si daddy.

Hindi rumerehistro lahat ng sinasabi ni mommy. And daddy is not making it a big deal.

"We'll explain everything when the right time comes yannie. please just rest for today." mahinang sabi ni daddy, tila nag iingat sa mga sinasabi niya.

"Mag usap tayo sa labas minnette." lumbas si daddy at sumunod naman si mommy.

Biglang pumasok ang kakambal ko at umupo sa tabi ng kama ko.

"I already called Ado, But he's not answering. Are you okay? may masakit ba?" Nag aalalang tanong niya.

Umiling naman ako at yumuko nalang. Nagugulohan padin sa mga nangyayari, kinuha ko ang phone ko sa may table sa gilid ng bed.

May isang text galing kay Ado

Ado: Let's break up.

Dahan dahang tumulo ang mga luha ko. Sobrang sikip ng dibdib ko.

"Hey, why are you crying?" Pinunasan ni drew ang mga luha ko at niyakap ako.

Pumasok si mommy at daddy bigla at naabutan akong umiiyak.

"Anong nangyari llianndrew?" Daddy said habang naglalakad palapit sakin.

"Nakipaghiwalay na si Ado..." Hindi ko pa natapos ang sasabihin ko at biglang nag salita si daddy

"This is all your fault minnette! If only hindi kana gumawa ng eksena pa at pinalampas nalang ang nangyari sa nakaraan! hindi na sana to mangyayari sa anak natin!"

"And what do you expect me to do Honey? hayaan si yannie? I can't let her marry Ada's son!"

"JUST SHUT IT MOMMY! EVERYTHING IS DONE ALREADY! NAKIPAGHIWALAY NA SAAKIN SI ADO!" Mangiyak-iyak kong sabi.

Our love is like the day, it ends.
