KISSING MONSTER

VINGT-CINQ

Dorothy was still crying and she didn't meddle herself, so that she was sitting in silent besides Tita Lucille.

"How could you say that they are not my family?" I asked calmly.

"Aren't you confused of your surname is not like them? Adams sila at ikaw ginagamit mong apelyido ay Wright." Tito Samuel asked.

"I asked them why when I was in high school, but they answered me that I am using my mother's maiden surname. Because they don't want me to get involve to them by their work as agent and public servant. So, I didn't bothered to asked again." I defended.

"So, you used to stop right there." Tita Lucille nodded.

"If they are not my real family, is Calix wasn't my Tito?" I sadly asked.

"No. Calix is your real father's cousin. So that you are really related to him." Tito Samuel explained.

"Does he knew my real identity?"

"Yes, that's why he hired Miguel to guard whenever you go." Isaac replied.

"But how did you know about it?"

"I was your mother's cousin." Tito Samuel replied.

Napa "O" naman ako dahil hindi ako makapaniwala roon.

"If I am related to you and Adams family is not my real family, then who is my family then?" I asked.

"Your mother's name is Mrs. Hyacinth Cox-Wright. She owned the Sapphire Stone Academy and currently the dean. And your father is Engr. Cameron Wright. He is owner the Arch of Wrightwood Company."

I think I met them before when I was an intern for teaching and architecture. I just fate played my whole life hahahaha! I didn't expected that I was daughter of that two famous  person in worldwide. I wonder if I have a siblings?

"Do I have a siblings?" I casually asked.

"Yes, you have one sibling older than you." Isaac replied.

"Really?! Does he know about me?" I was excited when I asked about it.

"Yes. He had been watching you from afar." Isaac answered.

"May I know his name?" I happily asked.

"Eusebio Zion Cox-Wright."

I stopped there while realizing who is he to me.

"You already met him because of Calix that you used to know as his barkada and you've been stayed with him for how many months before." He added.

I didn't response to him because I was still shocked for that revelation.

"If you wanted to meet up your parents or to show up to your brother, I can call them for that." Tito Samuel said.

"And welcome back, my niece." Tita Lucille hugged me.

I was too shocked and wondering what is happening on earth now to react for her hugs to me.

"By the way, the kidnapper, Ryan Patterson and his goons was also arrived before you. They already knew that you are alive." Tito Samuel stated.

"How did you knew about him as my kidnapper?"

"I-I told them everything I know. I'm s-sorry, ate Seri." Dorothy stated.

"It's fine, babe. Does Calix knew that I'm still alive and been back here?"

"Maybe. Knowing Hayward, he can't keep his mouthed shut." Isaac simply said.

They just told me every single details about my real family and why they keep me away from them, and letting somebody to raised me. But sad to say that I didn't able to say thank you to them because of what happened almost five years ago.

After that, they let me rest in my room until Autumn knocked my door for dinner.

We just have a little celebration for my come back as part of their family as real as diamond and Autumn was happy for me.

Three weeks later...
[The Wrightwood Mansion]
Naunang pumasok sila Tita Lucille, Tito Samuel, Dorothy, Kuya Miguel at Autumn kaya naiwan kami sa labas ng pinto ni Isaac.

"Uhm, Uno, come we just go back home? I'm nervous kasi." I said as I bit my lips.

"No, we won't Sity. It is now or never. Stop hiding. Stop being childish. Let's go inside!" He scolded me.

"Huhuhu, why are you shouting at me? Huhuhu! I'm nervous!" I sulk at him and pouting my lips.

"Tsk! Come here." and he hugged me tight.

"Does C-calix and his barkada is here, too?" I asked.

"Yes." He seriously replied.

"Fine, let's go inside."

The maids and butlers bowed and welcomed us.

I saw my reflection is a glass wall. I fixed my hair into messy bun and bare face as usual. I wore a baby blue off shoulder slip dress and black ankle straps heels.

It's now or never, Serinity. Everything will be alright whatever happens tonight with this mini-celebration for my come back.

I sighed before we go inside in the dining room.

"S-serinity?!" Calix and other guys exclaimed like they saw a ghost.

I saw shocked when a mid-50's woman and mid-60's man approached me and hugged me while crying out loud.

"M-mom? D-dad?" I hesitate to called them.

"Oh my gosh! My daughter! Huhuhu! I missed you so much! I'm sorry! Huhuhuhuhuhu!" Mrs. Hyacinth, I mean, Mommy cried.

I hugged her even though I hesitate to do it.

"Oh God! Thank you for letting us to see her again." she exclaimed.

We stayed in that position for a few minutes. I smiled at them.

Eusebio, or should I called him now, my kuya, and Tito Calix come closer to us.

"Where have you been, my niece? I've been looking for all over the world!" Calix stated and hugged me tight.

I smiled and hugged him back.

"K-kuya?" and I look at Eusebio who standing behind Calix.

Calix let me go, so I can hugged Eusebio, too.

"We've been waiting for you to come back here. I miss you, my little sister." He whispered to my ears.

"I miss you too, kuya."

"Hoy, mokong na siraulo, lumapit ka na dito! Alam ko namang kanina mo pang gustong lumapit!" biro ni Eusebio.

"Kuya!" I whispered.

My man walked towards our direction.

"Hey," anito.

Itinulak naman ako ni Eusebio kay Clark.

"Kuya! Why did you pushed me?!" I scolded him.

"Wow! You're comfortable to called me that ha? Hahahaha! Yakapin mo na! Ang dami mo pang seremonyas!"

I rolled my eyes to him before I faced my man and hugged him as I cried to his chest.

"Hey Sity, huwag mong sobrahan!" Isaac reminded me.

"I miss you, mon amour." Clark whispered.

"I miss you more, Clark."
