The truth behind the flowers of lies


E S M E R A L D A
Ingrid's mother


History repeats itself indeed. I'm sure my precious daughter is now crying, damn I'm staring to reminisce the past.

What a desperate bitch you are Lihanna.

I calm myself, looking at them right now is sending havoc on my system. How I hate Quorcan for being this dumb and Lihanna for being a desperate fuckin bitch.

"Oh, the ex bestfriend is here. " Karidad murmured at me as we watch that damn touching scene of my daughter's boyfriend proposing.

I rolled myself, it's not the time. "Yes, she looks like kinda ugly." Karidad laughed at what I've said.

"Of course! Sino nga ba ang hindi minahal? Sino nga ba ang ipinagpipilitan ang sarili? Oh wait, it's capital L I H A N N A.  " Karidad said with a singsong voice.

I stood up, interrupting that damn romantic scene. All of the attention was now on me. I smiled, Quiovanni and Quorcan's face are now full of shocked. Ah, what a facial expression they got.

"Long time no see, Lihanna and Quorcan. " I said while waving my hand ang playing the tip of my hair like I was some sort of antagonist in someone's fairy tale.

Lihanna's mouth is now half open,  "E-Esmeralda? " She's shuttering okay.

I stared at her. "Oh yes? You end up together. " I looked at them. " I see, as I've expected. You look great with your kids. " I laughed.

Lihanna groaned, "are you still holding the past Esmeralda? Still bitter? " She said, what a fucked up bitch.  The whole hall is now in heavy tension.

I waved my hand, Karidad is now at my side holding a bottle of wine. What is that?  A props?

"Oh no! Can't you see? I came back to congratulate you! " I lend my hand to Karidad and she gave me the bottle of wine she's holding. I opened it, and walked towards their direction.

"What are you doing–––Oh my god!" she shouted.

I'm sure that wine tasted so sour right now, I let bottle in the mid air as the remaining wine poured down to her hair, face, and gown.  "You looked great, great beggar. "

Then I swayed my hips to see that fucking Quorcan, "hi, long time no see... Lover, " then I slapped him really, really hard. My feeling is in light, all of my hatred are half gone now.

I stood up confidently, facing the Ten Royal Families. "Don't ever mess with the Montemoriados. I'm back for my revenge, I'm not the weak Esmeralda. I've been running away to avoid confusion and war but now give it all. I don't fucking care. " They're shocked, looking dumb. "See you again. " I muttered with conviction and finality.

I'm not done, I'm just starting to dig your graves.

"Is she okay? " Mom said, we are all worried about my sister. I didn't mean to tell her all.  I just couldn't look at her, looking dumb.

I robbed my temple in frustration. "I don't know mom,” I sighed. “She passed out after running away. And now she's at her room resting. " I was determined when my mother planned to stop running away and give us the life theu took away, but then I didn't think of my sister. Ingrid is now devastated.

"Huwag kang mag-alala. When she wake up I'll tell you everything, mga hindi mo pa alam. " then she hugged me.

I want to stay here but I can't. I think Lihanna is now clueless what's happening. Masyadong kampante sa mga plano n'ya and Dark assured me Lihanna didn't know that I was aware of my origin.

"Uuwi ka na? " My mom said, I nodded. She sighed heavily. "Okay, pero kapag naharap ko na ang tatay n'yo isasampal ko sa pagmumuka n'ya lahat ng kasagutan sa mga kasinungalingang pinaniniwalaan n'ya. Then I will get you. " I smiled to myself then bid my goodbye to her.

An hour later, finally I arrived home. The house was silent as usual. "Atlid, " Faharn tugged the hem of my shirt.

I faced him, "yes? Why are you crying? " He shooked his head then pouted as his tears continued to fall down.

"Quiovanni and Qion fighting. " His voice quivers, "Mom and Daddy are now shouting each other. " he hugged me so tight. "I'm scared. "

I kissed he's temple and carry him, "Don't worry I won't let you alone. Let's go, you rest. " Then we walked at his room. I waited for an hour for him to get his sleep.

Napadaan ako sa kabilang kwarto malapit sa kwarto ko, noises.

"Fuck you! Bakit mo ginawa 'yon! Is that true?! Ikaw?!" Nangangalaiting sigaw ni Qion. The door is unlocked, revealing a slight space. I peeked in.

Quiovanni's wasted, Qion is punching him. What the hell? Is this all about the engagement? Damn, that made a huge impact.

"Tell me brother! I will help you! Pinilit ka ba ni Mama?! Pinilit ka ba?!" Ulit na tanong ni Qion. Quiovanni remained silent, head down. Qion grabbed the colar of his twin, "tell me! Fuckin tell me! I'm your twin! Hindi ko hahayaang gawin kang laruan ni Mama! I saw Ingrid at the party! I'm sure she saw what you did, tell me brother if they're forcing you.. I will help you clarify things to Ingrid. You love her so much that's why you brought a goddamn house and a engagement ring right? Kaya pinapagod mo ang sarili mo sa mga Gang Fights natin! At kumakayod ka ng hindi nanghihingi ng tulong sa mga magulang natin. " Qion said. He's crying..

I want to looked away, hindi sa wala akong pakielam. They're my brothers too, we share the same dad but I'm actually happy when Quiovanni propose to other girl. Mas mabuti na ang ganoon, kaysa magkatuluyan sila ng kapatid ko at sa huli nalang nila malaman ang totoo.

"T-They didn't..." mahinang sabi ni Quiovanni, why? What he meant? "T-They didn't force me. It was my decision. The night that mother called me for a meeting, I declined. Hindi ako sumipot.. I went to the bar thinking of ways how will I end this fucking life of mine. Then I woke up, me and Nathalie in one same sheet, naked. " Halos mawalan ng balanse si Qion sa narinig, looking at his brother with confusion, desperation, and dissapointment. "I remembered all, that night I didn't even bothered thinking Ingrid. It was all Nathalie. I came to realize that Nathalie is still at my heart. Siya pa rin.... "

"Fuck you! " Qion once again punched his twin, causing Quiovanni's nose bleed. "I'm dissapointed! Ginamit mo si Ingrid?! Fucking fuck! I thought you're serious about her! "

"Stop! " Hindi ko na napigilang mapasigaw.

Their attention went mine. "K-kanina ka pa ba riyan? " Qion asked me.

So, I pretend innocent, "no. But I heard you fighting. Faharn might wake up. " then I left the room. “Fucking love.”
