This Little Strange Thing (COMPLETED)

Chapter 40

Love as a medium

As soon as the men finished burying my two half brother, the people are slowly decreasing. Even mr. Mariano edged away together with his personal nurse, Perla. It seemed like no one in my dad's family has recognized me. And I thank God for that.

Azure went away for awhile to get me the candles I've brought that I forgot to bring here.

Knealing down in front of the grave, holding the umbrella and not minding the heat of the ground, tears are still running down my cheeks.  Magkakasama na silang tatlo ngayon.. sa pag-iisip lamang na 'yon, nagiging emosyonal na ako masyado.

Being lacked of love has tied the three of them together.

"Oh wow, I'm not wrong seeing a user and stealer here.." a familiar voice came to the picture.

Nilingon ko ito at saka ako tumayo. Her dashing look's trying to intimidate me. Tinignan ko siya mula ulo pababa. She's on a white fitted crop top, an korean-fashioned black skirt and flats.

Ramdam ko na ang pagkatuyo ng mga luha ko't ngayon naman ay pagkainis. Nandito na naman siya para manggulo?

"Hindi ko alam 'yang mga paratang mo.." namilog ang kamao ko lalo na nang ngisian niya ko.

"Playing innocent? If it's not for you, Ajic shouldn't been killed! Kasalanan mo kung bakit siya nandyan so don't act like you really care and weep there. Pinatay mo siya!" Her nose are flaring right now.

"Wala ka namang alam eh! Bakit ba puro paninisi ka? Dahil hindi mo tanggap na pinsan mo rin ako?! O dahil pa rin kay Azure?! Aria, grow up! Mukha kang batang ngawa ng ngawa dyan!" Singhal ko rito.

Mas lalong naging matalim ang titig nito sa akin at maya maya lang ay umamba siyang aabutin ang buhok ko nang may dumating, "Aria!"

Hinarangan ako ni Azure mula sa babae, "I thought you're classy? Where's the demeanor then? Nakikipag-away sa harap ng puntod ng kamag-anak mo?!"

Aria is almost in tears when she heard that. Sakto namang may lumapit sa kanyang babaeng hawig niya. Naka-white dress ito at stiletto.

"What are you still doing here, Aria?!" Bumaling ito kay Azure, "Isn't this guy a De Vera?"

"Yes mom! And he's supposedly my boyfriend before this bitch stole him!"

Wait, what?

Umalis ako sa likod ni Azure at hinarap sila, "Wala akong ninakaw sayo!"

"Really? Pati si Lily nga hindi mo pinatawad!" Namumula na ito habang hawak hawak siya ng kanyang ina.

"Don't blame me kung iniwan o ipinagpalit ka nila! Tignan mo nga 'yang ugali mo ngayon!" Mariing sagot ko rito.

Masyado niya akong pinabababa. And I won't let that happen! Not even by her would I let myself downgraded! No one!

"How dare you say that to my daughter?! Sino ka ba?!"

I felt Azure's grip on my forearm but I didn't mind it. I grinned, "I'm the half-sister of Ajic."

Her jaw dropped as she heard my answer. Napasapo pa siya sa kanyang noo dahil sa napagtanto, "I-Ikaw ang anak ni Miguel sa makating muchacha na 'yon?!"

"Mariz don't.." pagbulong ni Azure sa akin dahil aakma na akong susugod sakanila.

"Anak ni Lea? I thought both of them are already killed?" May dumating pa na tatlong lalaking mukhang kasing edaran lamang ng ina ni Aria.

They thought we're already killed? Maliban kay Ajic.. noon pa man ay pinagplanuhan na ang pagkitil sa buhay ko ng sarili kong mga.. kadugo?

Sabagay, sino bang niloloko ko? Isa lang akong anak sa labas.
