RED BLOOD ACADEMY: THE GREATEST DOWNFALL

CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE

Esmeralda's

Kanina ko pa hinahanap yung binigay na necklace at earrings ni Mommy last year at hindi ko alam saan ko nailgay yun. "What the heck!? Hindi ko makita yung binigay ni Mommy." bulong ko habang hinahanap ko.

Binuksan ko yung walk in closet ko at hinanap sa lagayan ng jewelries yung binigay ni Mommy na necklace at earrings. "I'm doomed if Mom find out!" dagdag ko pa. Napabalik ako sa kama ko at napahiga dahil sa sobrang stress. Nakaligo na ako lahat lahat nakalabas na yung heels.

It's a silver ankle strap heels pair with Champagne Party Ball Gown with Luxury Beads Lace. Masyadong maganda iyon pero ayaw pakabog ni Mommy kaya no choice ako kasi bumagay naman lalo na maputi naman ako.

Mahigit isang oras na akong naghahanap ng jewelries na niregalo ni Mommy hanggang sa makita ko iyon sa ilalim ng kama ko. "Bakit nandito to?" tanong ko sa sarili ko.

Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag at napaupo sa kama. Iniisip kung kailan ko ginamit ito. "Ay pota!" napatampal ako sa noo ko atsaka naaalalang ginamit ko pala ito nung anniversary nila Lola. They can't get old because of the blood that running through their veins.

Sakto naman bumukas ang pinto at bumungad sakin si Francis. "Nandyan na yung stylist atsaka make up artist. Baka hindi ka pa naliligo, maligo ka na." sabi nya. "i'm done taking a bath." i answer him back. 

Tiningnan ko yung oras sa wall clock at nakita kong hindi lang dalawang ang niligo ko pati ang paghahanap ko umabot ng dalawang oras. "Good to know. Hindi ka pa naman naliligo minsan." he teased. Tumayo ako at akmang hahabulin ito ng tumakbo na ito palayo.

"Dumbass!" bulong ko. Pumasok naman si Daddy kasunod ng mga mag aayos sa akin. Napakunot ang noo ko ng makita kong hindi pa nag aayos para sa trabaho si Daddy. "Where is Mom?" i asked him.

He sighed. "Nandito na yung mag aayos sa'yo. Your Mom is not feeling well so i need her to rest baka mamaya pumasok pa yun sa trabaho." sagot ni Daddy. Napabuntong hininga din ako. Napapansin ko na madaming nagbabago sa katawan ni Mommy.

She gained a little, become moody, and sometimes i see her vomiting in the bowl or in the sink. May hinala na ako pero di ako pwedeng mag conclude lalo na okay naman sya.

"By the way, Ezra is on her way. Magsabay na kayong magpunta ball. Susunod kami ng Mommy mo once she woke up." Dad said. Tumango naman ako at ngumiti.

"Thank you, Dad. I got your back." i winked and he laughed. Tumalikod na ito at lumabas. "I love you Dad!" sigaw ko. "Love you too, Princess!" he shoutback.

Natawa naman yung mga kasama kong sytlist. "You have a very good bond with your father." Sheila compliment. Ngumiti naman ako. I sat on the chair and starting talking to them. "Very. They are perfect for me kahit na alam ko minsan nag aaway sila but the love that they have for the past fifteen years is very storng that no one can broke it." i proudly said.

"How about the worst family problem that your family have been through?" she asked. Napaisip naman ako. "Ahm. That is really sensitive. I'm sorry i can't tell you." i answer back.

Ngumiti naman sya. "I understand. Sorry." she apologized. "What is the recipe of their love?" tanong na lang nya. "Siguro as i can see the love and trust in their eyes. I think the faithfulness, loyalty, full commitment and the trust that made them both strong." i answer.

"Hindi naman totoo yan! Kung totoo yung sinasabi mo about their relationship edi sana kami pa ng jowa ko." Danna bitterly said. Natawa naman ako at napailing.

"You know when i said those things, it is really true. When i said faithfulness you don't need to find another woman/man to find those lackings kasi parehas naman kayong may flaws." i said and drink water before i continue.

"Tama ka naman pero kasi may mga tao pa din talagang maghahanap at maghahanap ng iba para lang mapuna yung pagkukulang sa kanila." Shiela said while doing my hair.

Tumingin ako sa salamin sakto naman ang pagpasok ni Ezra. "Esme!" she excitedly run to me.

Umalis naman sila sa dadaanan ni Ezra. "Ganda mo bhie!" she said and beso. Napailing naman ako atsaka natawa ng umupo na sya sa tabi ko at simulan na din sya ayusan.

"She.." i called her. "If that someone really love you then he should be happy and contented that he have you are as his life time partner. He is seeing you as his bestfriend, girlfriend, wife and everything." i added.

She smile sadly. "How i wish. He is like that." she said and smile painfully. Humarap naman ako sa kanya at ngumiti. "Someday. He will changed love you dearly and treat like his queen." i said and smile.

Nagpatuloy na sila sa pag aayos hanggang sa matapos silang ayusan kami. "The both of you--" someone cut them off.

"Are the girls done?" putol ni Mommy. Lumingon ako sa likod at tumayo. "Mom." tawag ko. "How are you feeling?" tanong ko.

"I'm fine." she said and smile. I kiss her cheek. "Tita!" tawag ni Ezra. "Oh. My two princess are really gorgeous!" my Mom compliment.

Ngumiti naman ako atskaa niyakap namin ng sabay si Mommy. "I love you, Mom/I love you, Tita." sabay naming banggit.

Ezra grew up in an orphanage, so when i found her and became close like a real sister, Mom adopted her and give her a space in our house but she insist that she's going to live in orphanage.

"Magbihis na kayo. Gusto ko kayong makitang dalawa." sabi ni Mommy at umupo na sa upuan ko.

Natawa naman ako at ngumiti. Her superiority is really scary but when you see her you're really gonna admire her because of her kindness and righteous woman.

Nagkwentuhan kami ni Ezra habang nagbibihis at inaayusan si Mommy.

"How's the plan? The proposal?" bulong ni Ezra. "Shhh!" tinakpan ko yung bibig nya. "Wag kang maingay. Mabubulilyaso yung plano ni Daddy." bulong ko.

"Do i need to use my techy techy moves?" she asked me. I rolled my eyes. "Stop being boastful." i said and continue to wear the ball gown that they bought.

"I'm just stating the fact." she shrugged. Napailing naman ako sa sinabi nya. "Stating your techy moves. Just come choose the technique you use when Dad married Mom again on the spot." i laugh.

I remember when Mom and Dad having their 10th year wedding anniversary. He proposed to Mom to renwe their vows then he married Mom on the basketball court of the school.

"I remember that and Tita almost vomit because of Tito's mind blowing surprise." she add my story.

We both laugh. I know my parents is not perfect but i know that they are doing their best to become the most beautiful thing in their children eyes.

They love each other, the love that never fades as time pass by but it grow more and more and made it stronger.

So they are the most influential person in my life and i love them because they made me feel complete.
