Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Villanueva

Carmela's POV

Pagmulat ng mga mata ko, puting silid agad ang nakita ko. Hindi ako agad nakakita ng malinaw. Dahil na siguro 'to sa nangyari kagabi. Napansin kong natutulog si Nathan sa tabi ko. I closed my eyes again and slowly massaged it. My vision was still blurry when I saw a man figure in front of me. I can't see him clearly but I know him from how his body was built. I tried shutting and opening my eyes for three times pero wala, nandoon pa rin siya. He's laughing at me! What is funny in this situation? It's been years since I fucking saw him! His cold body! What the fuck! I must be hallucinating.

It couldn't be him.

It's so impossible.

How?

How is he here?

Is this real? I'm not dreaming right?

"W-why are you here? I-I thought you're d-dead? What the fuck?" I tried to speak clear. But my voice broke when I saw the sight of him smiling at me. He took a step closer to where I am.

But suddenly, I felt anger and confusion. "No! Don't you fucking come c-closer! You lied! Fucking lied to me! To her, to all the people who loved you! What the fuck is wrong with you!" I screamed. Nathan woke up and when he saw him, he went outside, giving us the privacy to talk.

Do I really wanted not to talk to him? I'm fucking confused. How the hell is he here in front of me!

"W-why are you here?" I wiped my tears and saw the clearer version of my surroundings. Oh god, I'm not dreaming. He is here!

"I wanted to visit you. By the time, Jaeden called them. Ako ang nakasagot ng tawag."

"Where are they? Nasaan sila? Where is Mom and Dad?" I asked him. I tried myself not to be hysterical. Kagagaling ko lang sa surgery! I've been out for four days! Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyari sa'min. Lalo na kay Nash, he's badly wounded. Last thing I know is that he was in a critical condition. Damn! I really don't want to any other guy's endgame! I want him to be my endgame.

He just stared at me like he didn't know what to say!

"Fuck, Caleon Rei, answer me! Where's our parents? Are they coming? And why are you here? You should be in your coffin resting right? Tell me this is just a dream, fucking tell me that you're not real! I drowned in countless tears of mine because of that tragedy!" He smiled sadly. Umiwas ako ng tingin, wala rin namang magagawa kung totoo ba 'to o hindi. Am I dead? Kaya ba nakakakita ako ng mga patay na?

He came closer, he was just an inch away. I burst into tears when I felt him caressing my cheeks. Napayakap agad ako sa kanya. Kahit na ang gago ng ginawa niya sa'kin, he's still my brother. But after 8 years of missing him and being sad every damn time I remember our memories when we were still young, I just can't help but to feel angry to him.

"Hey..." He said softly.

"I hate you," I whispered. He chuckled. Damn, I miss that chuckle.

"Hey, I'm back. I'm sorry I left, I just needed to make sure that I'm healthy and stable. I'm not dead, Carmela. I guess... surprise?" He laughed. Sinuntok ko ang dibdib niya at mahinang natawa. What is wrong with him? I know he's full of surprises, even ate Trixy told me that.

"What happened? Magkwento ka, punyeta!" Natawa siya sa pagtaas ng boses ko at sa pagmumura ko.

"The night that I got shot, agad akong pinuntahan ni Tita Ayna, twin sister ni Mama na lagi mong kinakainisan. Mom called her dahil hindi niya alam kung sino ang uunahin niya sa'ting dalawa. Wala sila kina Lola noong oras na 'yon, they were really asking a way para makausap si Cyan. I met him, awhile ago. Nasapak pa nga ako e." I laughed.
