Twisted(Elianza Series #1)

-Kabanata 31-

Hi.This is raw and unedited.

Straight from work I need to buy some snack and also grocery for my kids.

Since I leave Elianza for my pregnancy hindi na muli akong bumalik doon.Ateng support me on that even give me financial assistant just so I can live better in negros.I didn't dare come back there and I am so preoccupied with what is happening in my life to even care about it.

The 7 years of being a single parents is tough.Even my pregnancy itself. Takot na nga ako ng nalaman buntis ako at may dalang anak domuble lang iyon ng nalaman ko dalawa pala ang na sa loob ng sinapupunan ko. I finish my studies after my pregnancy tumigil ako ng isang taon para mabantayan silang maigi and then my tita push me to get a degree to finish my study.I know I will be outdated about school yet I realize kung gusto kong maging komportable ang buhay ng mga anak ko I need to strive for their betterment so I take up a course in college once again with the help of my tita,my mom's sister.

I graduate in Hospitality Management and got work.Thought nahuli ako sa paggraduate atleast I graduate.Hindi naman karera ang edukasyon na pabilisan kung sino ang makakapagtapos.Its how you strive for your betterment hindi magiging basihan ang taon ng pagaaral para sabihin na you successfully finish college.

Masaya ako kahit paano ay naging mabuti ang panginoon sa akin. I seldom talk to my parents and everytime they want us to talk about the past I suddenly hang up.Hindi ko gusto makinig muli sa kanila.They already know my pregnancy before I left Elianza but they didn't say a word.I am so sure that time that they will do something about my situation pero umiyak lang si mama sa harap ko.My biological father also want to reach out buti nalang at malayo ang kapangyarihan nila sa negros at hindi ito sakop nito kaya nahirapan din siyang hanapin ako doon.

I knock on the next condo after I prepare our dinner for tonight. I got an offer in manila three years ago so I take it.I bring the twins with me kahit sinasabi ni tita na ipaiwan nalang ito sa kanya.Hindi ko kayang mawalay sa mga bata.I want them to be with me always.

Ate Ronilyn smile widely when she saw me. She's five years older than me while her sister Ate Angel is ahead of me a year or two.I don't want to disturb her but everytime I needed to be in emergency meetings I have no choice but to run to her. She will always tease me about getting a man pero ngumunguso lang ako sa kanya ayaw sumali sa biro niya dahil panigurado akong may irereto siya kapag umuo ako sa biro niya.

Ate Angel is carrying Veron on her shoulder.I see my little girl crying on her shoulder agad ko itong nilapitan.

"Baby what's wrong?" I asked immediately. Ninguso ni ate Ronilyn si Travis.

"Travis!"banta ko sa isa ko pang anak na supladong umiirap sa akin ngayon.

"Nagaway na naman sila sabi ko na nga sayo hanapan mo na ng daddy yang mga inaanak ko," ate Ronilyn try to make it light by cracking a joke yet it become a bit heavy for me.

"Thank you po talaga ate Ronily ate Angel!sorry sa abala," paghingi ko ulit ng depensa dahil sunod sunod yata ang pagiiwan ko sa kanila dito. I hired a yaya for them before pero naabutan kong may pasa si Veron and the yaya denied what she did.Naniwala ako doon pero Travis keep on insisting that the yaya did bully Veron or thats how he narrated the whole scene so in the end I stop the yaya's contract.Takot na akong kumuha ng iba and Ate Ronilyn on the other hand become a good friend of mine kaya mas kampante akong iwan ang mga bata sa kanya.

Buhat buhat ko sa kanan balikat ko ang umiiyak kong anak.Kasunod naman si Travis na suplado pa rin nakatingin sa kawalan.I open our condo.

Agad kong binaba si Veron at tinawag si Travis sa living room.
