Sinful Night

Kabanata 29

"i'm so sorry.."

hinila ko si nathan palayo saglit para mag tanong its kinda serious and the same time important to talk to.

"Nate, what will you do if you saw a doppelganger of someone important with you?"

nakatingin sya saakin at di sya agad na sumagot sa tanong ko, nanatili syang nakatingin saakin.

"of course i'll look for that person to make sure that he or she's alright."

sana, sana nga okay lang sya at sana rin walang mangyaring masama sknya dahil baka pati sarili ko hindi ko mapatawad dahil may ngyaring masama sknya hindi ko talaga magagawang patawin ang sarili ko lalo na paulit-ulit akong binabagabag pero binabaliwala ko.

kinakabahan ako, hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ako kinakabahan ng ganito parang may mangyayari bang masama pero hindi mo maintindihan kung anong mangyayari? 

its kind of weird but i feel this strange since the first time i saw that doppelganger in the hospital.

he frowned. "wait a minute, may nakita ka bang doppelganger?" tanong nya saakin, i shrugged hindi ako sumagot na muna dahil paano ko ba ipapaliwanag sa kapatid ko na may doppelganger akong nakita?

napailing nalang ako bigla. 

"ate, did you?" he repeat.

magsasalita pa sana ako ng bigla nalang may nagsalita sa stage, it's the mc of this special event naglakad kami papunta kung nasaan sila dad nasa gilid sila malapit sa stage, the mc called my parents as i carried both of my children.

"it's a good evening everyone who's here, especially a lot of our family friends, business partner who came to this special event, this event is really urgent and i admit how we fix this event really fast. well, this day is so special for me and for my gorgeous wife." 

ngumiti akong sobrang sweet ng parents ko, i know why and kanino ba talaga ako nagmana ng sweetness kay dad.

he is always sweet with my mom at masaya akong makita na kahit na hindi naman ganun katanda si mom and dad but i admit how sweet they are. they always dating actually nakakatuwa silang tignan.

watching them so sweet, a beautiful to watch.

"it's been a year when we need to leave her in a orphan, we are so scared that our mortal enemy came back and kill her, she's one of the special one we have and it's really honored that our enemy stop from trying to hunt and kill her, she born as her mother, she's beautiful, smart.. a brilliant child. she even gave us a two pretty boy grandchild."

dad take a glance on me, ngumiti ako masaya ako kase andito.. andito ang pamilya kong noon ay hinahanap ko lang pero nakakasama ko na sila lagi kong iniisip na sana..

sana wag silang mawala sa buhay ko dahil hindi ko talaga kakayanin kapag isa sa pamilya ko nawala saakin? mahalaga rin sila sa buhay ko, namulat akong wala sila.

at ayokong maging isang sandali lang ang pagiging masaya naming magkakasama, ayoko.

"we're introducing our first child, Dr. Natasha Reese Aragon."

nilakasan ko loob kong umakyat sa stage of course kasama ko ang kapatid ko't mga anak ko, ang cute ng mga anak ko ngayon naalala ko bigla si Azrael sknila dahil sobrang kamukha nila si azrael ngayon sa suot nila, cute.

umiling akong iniisip ko na naman ba si azrael? the fuck, maling-mali na iniisip mo parin ang isang taong wala na sa buhay mo, its been a months natasha bakit pilit mong inaalala ang taong alam mo namang hindi na maari at hindi na pwedeng maging sayo?

yeah, kahit kailan di ka magiging masaya kung itatali mo ang isip at puso mo sa taong imposible na dahil hindi na mangyayaring magmahalan ang dalawang taong kasal na, pinakasalan ko ang kapatid nya para lang makalimot at takasan lahat.

i was wrong for using Riel just forget how i feel for his own brother.

"hey, are you hungry? there still some foods--"

"i'm okay nathan, don't worry."

tumulong kase akong magligpit since natapos na ang event kaya sabi ko i want to help to fix those things here, tulog na naman rin ang mga bata and i feel so bored now i want to fix some things here even the decorations of the party.

kumain na narin naman ako kanina kaya hindi naman ako gutom, ngumiti ako kay nathan.

"i told you not now, look how happy she is!" nalingon halos parehas kami ni nathan na nalingon sa boses na 'yon parang nagdedebate na ewan, but the voice is really familiar with me.

parang si Azriel, pero paanong andito na naman sya eh sinabi ko sknyang wag na wag muna syang babalik dito kung hindi sya magiging maayos?

kumunot noo ko ng biglang lumitaw ang dalawang lalake. 

his sarcastic laugh. "what do you want me to do Riley? let her be happy while she doesn't know the real situation in our country? are you out of your mind? Franchesca repeatedly told you to tell her but you never tell her!" what the fuck are they doing here?

"and what the hell are you doing here?" sabay turo ko sknilang dalawa dahil seriously di ko alam bakit nandito silang dalawa at disoras na ng gabi tska sila nagpakita halos kakaalis lang ng lahat ng bisita pero ngayon nandito sila?

why the guards let them in.

"riel, didn't i tell you to go home? why are you doing here again? and you even bring this guy here eh?" i just can't understand what are they doing here. it's already 10:30PM.

narinig kong footsteps ng parents kong papunta dito. "oh, we still have visitors?" mom asked looking with my husband here.

parang pinipigilan ni riel si darius pero walang pakielam si darius at ngisi lang na inalis ang kamay ni riel, parang mga bakla 'to ano ba kaseng kailangan nila sa ganitong oras talaga?

"Natasha, i'm sorry to disturb your happiness but you need to go back to the Philippines soon as possible." what? kunot ang noo ko at naalis ang pagkaka-ekis ng braso ko kasabay ng kunot kong noo.

bakit ako babalik 'don? "sorry, i'm not going back!" giit ko, wala na kase talaga akong balak na bumalik pa sa pilipinas wala ng rason para saakin para bumalik pa 'don.

"you need to go back."

"hey, don't force my sister."

napansin ko sa mga mata ni darius na parang may mali, ang mga mata ni riel na tulad ng nakita ko sknya noon mga luhang pinipigilan ng bumaksak at mga luha hindi ko masabi ng direkta pero kakaiba silang dalawa at di ko alam bakit lumalakas ang tibok ng puso ko ngayon, its like something's happening bad.

lumingon si darius sakin. "Natasha, Azrael is dying." matapos nyang sabihin 'yun ay nahinto ako't bumaksak nalang ang luha ko.
