Titiana Ysobel Madrigal. That's my full name. Ang mga magulang ko ay sina Georgina Grace Madrigal at Fredrico Fabian Madrigal. Meron daw akong kapatid na babae, wala siya rito dahil kasama raw ang fiancé nito sa ibang bansa. Bata palang daw ako nang itakas ako ng dati kong yaya na parte ng isang sindikato. Kaya pala hindi ko sila maalala dahil narin sa bata pa ako nang mawalay ako sa kanila.
Noong una ay hindi pa ako makapaniwala pero nang ipakita saakin ni Georgina---I mean ni mom ang kwintas na may heart shape pendant, naalala ko na mayroon akong ganoon hindi ko lang alam kung saan ko nailagay pero mahalaga daw iyon at marapat na ibigay ko sa kanya. Napatunayan din na isa nga akong Madrigal dahil sa DNA test result.
Ang bilis ng pangyayari, parang kailan lang ay hirap na hirap pa kaming tustusan ang pagpapagamot ni Inay at ang gastusin sa mga bata. Pero dahil sa mga magulang ko ay nagtuloy tuloy ang gamutan ni Inay. At hindi lang iyon, may apelido narin ang anak ko.
Marahang katok ang nagpabalik saakin mula sa malalim na pag iisip.
"Good day! Ms. Madrigal, your dad wants you to his office, Immediatetly." magalang na sabi ng secretary ni dad. Tumango ako at iniwan ang sariling office. Sumunod ako sakanya, marahan muna s'yang kumatok sa opisina ni dad bago ako pinapasok.
Mula sa loob ay nakita ko si Mom and Dad, pinagkakaguluhan nila si Xander. He's already 6months old, may mga pagkain na rin sa table sa gilid ng office.
"Hi sweetie, how are you?" sabi ni dad sabay lapit at halik sa aking noo. Yumakap naman ako sa kanya at ganon din kay mom.
"I'm doing good dad" sabi ko sabay lahad ng kamay upang kunin ang baby ko. Agad na yumakap ang maliit na braso ni Xander saakin at humahagikgik sa bawat halik na ibinibigay ko sakanya. "Where's Audrina, by the way?"
"Kinuha sya ni Madeth, ipapasyal daw"
Sa ngayon ay nag-aaral ako, kung hindi sa bahay ay sa office pinapadala ang mga modules ko. I'm taking up Business Management, ako daw kase ang mag te-take over sa position ni dad. Pero ngayong nag-aaral pa ako ay siya muna ang bahala sa negosyo ng pamilya.
Nakakapanibago ang lahat ng pangyayari sa aking buhay. One moment I was nothing, the next minute viola I almost have everything. The money, the perfect family that I always wanted and my memories.
"Ano palang meron at may handaan dito?" tanong ko habang kalong ang aking anak.
"Uuwi ang kapatid mo from U.S, actually papunta na sila ng fiancé nya. Baka malapit na, antayin nalang natin" sabi ni mom.
Sa loob ng anim na buwan ay hindi ko nakita ang kapatid ko, ang kwento ay pumunta raw ng U.S kasama ang fiancé para sa preparation ng kanilang kasal.
Mula kay Xander ay nalipat ang paningin ko sa babaeng pumasok sa pinto.
"Oh, there she is" sabi ni mom. Lumapit sya sa babaeng pumasok at humalik at nagbeso.
"Tatiana, this is your sister" sabi ni mom. Nakangiting lumapit ako bitbit ang baby ko.
"Hi, Titiana. Glad to finally meet you. I'm Angelique, your older sister" nawala ang ngiting nakapaskil sa aking labi. Napaka raming Angelique na pangalan sa mundo, hindi naman siguro sya ang babaeng tinutukoy ni Kael noon diba?
Napansin ko na nakalahad parin ang kamay ni Angelique kaya mabilis ko siyang kinamayan at muling nginitian.
Napakalaki ng Manila, napakaliit na tsyansa na siya ang Angelique na tinutukoy ni Kael.
"Where's your fiancé, I thought you were together?" mom asked.
"Yeah, but tito called. Mikael went there after dropping me here"
"Okay, kumusta pala. You look great, hiyang na hiyang ka talaga sa States ah" pagbibiro naman ni dad. Nag-usap usap sila, hindi ako makarelate kaya inabala ko nalang ang sarili ko sa pag aalaga kay Xander. I suddenly felt so out of place but that's okay, they need a lot of time to catch up.
"Kumain na tayo, It's already lunch time" pag-aya ni mom. Naupo na kaming lahat sa table at kumain. Nagpatuloy sila sa kwentuhan habang tahimik kaming kumakain ng baby ko.

Nang maibaba ko si Angelique sa building ng parents nya ay umalis na ako upang puntahan si dad.
Sinabihan nya ako na inimbitahan sila na dumalo sa isang charity event, ngunit hindi sila makakapunta dahil narin sa mga importanteng meeting ni Dad, kasama ang The Originals. So as a only son, he asked me to represent our family to the said event.
I was planning to bring Angelique with me, because knowing her she really like going on events with purpose.
After my dad adjourned our short meeting, I quickly went to my own office to do some paper works that needed my attention. While busy attending my works I heard my phone rang.
"Hello baby, how was your day?" I asked Angelique.
"Fine" she shortly said.
"Just fine?" I chuckled after asking her.
"Yeah, I was kinda---you know feel uncomfortable with my younger sister. I don't know but I somehow remember meeting her years ago pero imposible naman kasi baby palang sya ng mawala sya and I vaguely remember any moment I had with her before" she said.
"Guni-guni mo lang yan. You were just overwhelmed by the thought that you have a sister" I said while arranging things on my table.
"Maybe you're right. Though I can't hide the excitement that I'm feeling right now because you know I already have a nephew. I can see your eyes the way the cute boy looked at me and those smile that captivated me, urghhh" she said while describing her nephew, maybe she misses our daughther?
"I'm going to take this call down na, I will finish everything I need to do here, then I will visit you later. Is that okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, I miss you alredy. See you later baby" she said then ended the call without waiting for my response.
I shrugged and finish my work.
It's already past 5 o'clock when I finished my work. I went home and took a bath before heading to the Madrigal mansion.
I parked my car and immiedietly went out on my car. I called Angelique but she wasn't answering her phone so I just went inside their house to surprise her.
I silently walked towards her, I found her sitting at the sofa making faces. I heard giggles, agad s'yang napatingin sa akin. Lumapit ako at tumabi sakanya, hinalikan ko sya sa kanyang sintido. Agad nawala ang mga ngiti ko ng masulyapan ang batang hawak nya.
The baby turn his gaze at me, his hawklike stares seems like judging me. My mouth fell open when he smirk. Angelique seems happy about her nephew's reaction. While I'm sweating bullets and my heart beat faster than usual.
I heard a familiar voice and my heart seems went out of its cage.
This can't be happening.
I turn my gaze to where the familiar voice came from and I saw her......the Girl whom I met at my darkest point of my life.
I'm doomed. Really.
