Kept From Sight, Hidden.

Chapter 11

Secrets And Promises

My grandfather told me about my dissappearance years ago. They knew I was kidnapped and lost my memories. My brother need to lie for my safety. They decided na hindi na ako babalik sa Hoshi City to keep me safe, my parents couldn't believe it pero nakubinse sila ni lolo. Lolo knew about my ability about independence.
The rival of lolo knew who was the real heir is, it was me.

Their suddened absence was planned also. They felt guiltly of Mr. Rogue dahil na damay pa ito dahil hindi nila ito kinilala dahil sa pagpapanggap.

They knew all along about Clira's secret. They accepted it na para silang alam, turns out Clira was the one who don't know the real actions of Cliffins. They deceived Clira and her family.

They don't know about the real problem of Clira. Clira has a mental disorder but her family didn't know this. Architect Avarin apologized his wrongdoings, malaki ang pinagsisi niya dahil nadamay ang kanyang apo sa ginagawa niya. He admitted that he hired someone para bintangan si lolo but lolo was clever to notice it dahil alam niya ang pag-iisip ni Architect Avarin, doing the dirty tricks.

Someone saved me that night it was Senki. Senki knew I was in the hospital because someone called him it was Vouune. Clira's plans was failed and she was confined now in the mental hospital, nag-alala parin ako sa kanya. Senki called the police and they arrested her at pati narin ang kasamahan niya. Clira stated the truth and it was confirmed.

It's been months and I was fully healed. Nandito ako sa mansion namin sa Hoshi City habang tanaw ang magandang paligid. I miss the mansion of Seijou district kung saan ako lumaki. Hindi ko tinanggap ang pagiging presidente ng Evergreen Luxe Company dahil wala akong alam sa pamamalakad ng kompanya.

My brother suggested he will guide me about everything in the company but I declined his offer. I told him honestly na wala akong interes sa ganyan and I told them about my passion, about art.

Balak kong magtayo ng Art Gallery. I want to show them the old paintings sa art gallery room namin noon. The 3 initials I saw it was from my grandparents and me. I remember I painted a lot to our art gallery room before, doon naman talaga kami lumaki at umalis din dahil sa negosyo ng parents namin at doon ko nakilala sina, Clira and Takashi.

I visited Clira yesterday and she was now a little bit okay. Everyday her parents visited her lalo na ang lolo niya. I tried to talked to her but she refused. I hope she is doing well.

"Evergreen." someone called my nickname, my mom and she looked at smiling. Her long grey hair was dancing in the wind.

"Yes." mahina kong sabi at hinaplos niya ang buhok ko.

"Your hair is short." she look dismayed. "Don't worry it will grow sooner or later." sagot ko naman sa kanya.

"You want to go to Japan?" she suddenly asked. "Meet obaasan and ojiisan?" she nodded but I already had a plan.

"I'm sorry." sagot ko.

"Why?" I told her about my plans and she smiled. "I want you to go with me pero may nauna na pala sa akin." she softly laughed.

"It's okay. Maybe next time?" I said and we both laughed.

"Hey, what's funny girls?" someone spoke behind mom, my dad.

"Nothing, dad." I said. "The last time I saw you were a litte cold to us but now you were sweet to us." he said and I rolled my eyes and they both laughed.

"Iniwan niyo kasi ako." I reasoned out at lalong lumakas ang tawa nila. They both hugged and whispered, "Our litte queen is back." at may narinig kaming boses sa likod.

"Group hug!" sigaw ni Kuya at yumakap sa amin pero hinila din niya ako pagkatapos. "Someone wants to see you." he whispered and I know who he is.

"Hey, what's wrong?" mahina kong tanong sa kanya habang seryoso siyang nagdadrive ng kotse.

We were going back to the mansion sa Seijou district. The mansion was renovated weeks ago and we decided doon muna mamalagi habang nagplaplano pa ako sa gagawin kong project. Senki helped me sa project na gagawin ko. I want my galleries na itayo sa Seijou at Hoshi.

Mahigit tatlong araw na siyang tahimik sa akin at hindi ko alam ano ang problema niya. Tinapik ko siya sa braso but he ignored it. I shrugged at piniling tumahimik rin.

Mahigit ding anim na oras ang binyahe namin at tanaw ko na ang uphill land habang tanaw ang nakatayong mansion ng mga Cliffins. I ordered him to stopped ng makarating kami sa bayan but he ignored my request at nadaanan namin ang botique ni Miss Tuesday and I saw Monday talking to the customers, napangiti nalang ako. Nadaanan din namin ang fruitstand ni Aling Corrie and I waved to her at malaki ang ngiting iginawad niya sa akin.

Hanggang sa nakarating na kami sa mansion. Madali akong tumakbo habang sinasayaw ang buhok ko at dinama ko ang familiar na hangin. Tumakbo ako sa hardin at laking tuwa ko ng makita ang mga bulaklak na buhay. Pumunta ako pabalik sa sasakyan upang kunin ang mga susi sa bag ko but before that I saw him standing seriously habang nakacrossed ang mga braso.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked at may biglang sumagi sa isipan ko.

"Is this about Takashi?" doon ko napagtanto ang problema niya dahil umiwas siya ng tingin.

Takashi visited me three days ago ng sabihin ni kuya na merong gustong bumisita sa akin at nalaman kong si Takishi iyon and my brother told Senki about that, I sighed.

"I told you Takashi and me were friends. He like someone else, it was Vouune. He knows that I love someone else." I honestly said to him at seryoso lang siyang tumingin sa akin.

Senki is my fiancé. He proposed to me weeks ago. I told him about living in Seijou district but he has works in Hoshi city. He's a businessman. He likes also living here but he has many priorities. We can't stay here.

"It is not about that." he said. What? I looked at him confused. Ano bang iniisip niya?

"I'm thinking about the wedding." he seriously said at napangiti nalang ako sa sinabi niya.

I laughed softly and walked near him but his eyes narrowed at my neck. "Where is your necklace?" napahawak ako sa leeg ko. I gasped ng wala akong makapa. He sighed, "Clumsy." he said.

"Hahanapin ko muna." sabi ko pero kinuha ko ang susi sa bag at dumiretso sa mansion. Mamaya nalang ko muna hahanapin ang kwintas. I'm excited to see the new look of the mansion.

Bubuksan ko sana ang pintuan ng hilahin ako ni Senki habang nakakunoot ang noo. "Hindi mo ba hahanapin iyon?" he asked.
"Of course, hahanapin." ngiti ko.

"Don't smile." he commanded but I hugged him. "Mamaya na." mahinhin kong tawa. When I was about to get free with him may naramdaman akong bagay na sinuot niya sa leeg ko, my necklace.

"Nasayo pala." sambit ko habang tinitingnan ang pendant na clover.

"That suits you well." he smiled and I smiled. He kissed my forehead and then we both opened the door together and saw the new things in the mansion and the beginning of new life with us.

I'm happily back with him, the promises are back. The crown of secrets and promises are now healed.
