He's Not Mine To Keep [COMPLETED]

Chapter 27

*Chapter 27*

(Rage's Point of View)

Nasa balcony ako ngayon ng kwarto ko. Hindi pa ako lumalabas simula kaninang umaga. Parang wala na kasi akong maramdaman. Ni maligo hindi ko pa nagagawa. Malapit na ring lumubog ang araw.

"Russel," napatingin ako sa pinto. It's kuya Rum.

"Balcony," I informed him. Ininom ko ang wine na nasa chaser.

"Umiinom ka nanaman," hindi ko siya sinagot. I badly wanna say it's his darn fault but who am I kidding?

"What do you need?" Tanong ko nalang.

"We need to talk." Saglit akong natigilan. I don't wanna talk with hin right now. Specially on that specific matter. Hindi pa ko handang marinig mismo ang mga katagang iyon sa bibig niya. That is too much for me to take.

Agad akong tumayo at pumasok na sa kwarto.

"Russel, we need to talk." Madiin na saad niya.

"Pwede bang bukas nalang? May pupuntahan pa ako." Kumuha ako ng damit sa closet.

"Kailangan mo na 'tong malaman ngayon--"

"Tangina naman, kuya! Hindi ba pwedeng tama na muna?! Hindi ba pwedeng bukas na muna 'yung sunod na sakit? Pagpahingahin mo naman ang puso ko!" Fuck!

"Mag-usap tayo ng maayos, Russel. I need you to be calm--"

"Fuck it! Oo na! Alam ko na ang totoo! Kailangan mo pa bang ipamukha sakin?! It fucking hurts but I am trying to understand! Can you at least give me time to accept it one step at a time?! Alam ko na, na si Paris ang ina nung kambal! At ang sakit! You are my fucking brother and you just--"

"Russel! Fucking calm down, and let's talk without fucking shouting! You need to listen to what I will say or I might really punch you again if you continue on giving me pointless accusations!"

I looked at him in disbelief. "Pointless accusations? I have a fucking proof--"

"A proof that proves that Paris is the twins' mother, but nothing proves that I am their real father!" Natigilan ako sa huli niyang sinabi. Hell, what?

Napabuntong-hininga siya. "You know what? It pains me to know that you even got the guts to think of me like that. I am fucking hurt, little brother." He bitterly laughed.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You're their real father. And you are too stupid for not even suspecting that they are yours."

Napatiim-bagang ako. Marahas ko siyang hinawakan sa kwelyo at sinandal sa dingding.

"Stop it! Stop fooling me, Rum! Sawang-sawa na ako! You always gave me false hopes and I won't fall for it again!"

"Papa!" I young voice shouted from the door. There, I saw France a bit horrified of what she's seen. Russia immediately covered his sisters eyes and glared at me.

Rum bitterly laughed again. "They say Rage as your name really suits you. Now I can clearly see it." Unti-unti ko siyang pinakawalan.

"If you are just going to fight, please don't tell us to come and witness it." Sabi ni Russia at hinila na paalis ang kapatid.

My heart aches to see them walking away from me, angry. What the fuck, Russel? You just let them witness how  cruel you are.

"I told them to come up here because I am expecting that it'll make them happy the moment you already knew the truth about them. I did not expect that what they will only witness is your raging side." May kinuha siyang brown envelope sa mesa.
