CHAPTER 15
"AHM...OUR relationship is-" Hindi na natuloy ang sasabihin ni Klane dahil may narinig na silang taong nagsalita sa cellphone na hawak ng anak niya.
"Hello? Klane? Did you save them?" Lexien asked him, hastily.
"Mommy?" Anang ng anak niyang lalaki.
"Oh my god... Laxus is that you, my baby?"
"Yes, mom. It's me, Laxus."
Natigilan si Klane dahil sa narinig.
' Laxus ... '
Wala sa sariling napatingin siya sa anak niyang lalaki.
' So, he's Laxus? Damn! '
Hindi makapaniwalang umiling si Klane. Tangina! Nagseselos lang pala siya sa anak niya!? What the fuck!? He even said he kill him. The heck!
Damn!
He fell so guilty dahil sa naisip niya. Fuck! He should apologize for it.
' I hope you forgive me, son. '
"YES, MOM. IT'S ME, Laxus."
Nakahinga ng maluwag si Lexien ng marinig ang boses ng anak.
"How are you, baby? How's your twin? Did they hurt you?" Nag-aalala niyang tanong rito.
"I'm okay, mom. And Lexie is okay too. She's here with me. Wanna talk to her?"
" Please ... I want to talk to both of you. " Ani ni Lexien.
"Okay mom." Wika ni Laxus.
Lexien can hear Laxus called his twin.
Seconds later, she heard the voice of her little princess.
"Mommy?"
"Baby..." Malambing na sabi niya. " How are you, your okay? Did someone hurt you? Are you still scared now, baby?"
Lexie on the other side smile as she looked at Klane. " I'm okay, mom. Someone save us from the bad guys, mommy. He say he's your friend. I still doesn't know what his name but he's a good man, mommy. He help us here. And mom, I'm not scared anymore. Kanina lang po."
Lexien sighed, " thanks god your both safe. Okay, sumama lang kayo sa savior niyo, ah. I see you here later."
Sabay na sumagot si Laxus at Lexie. " Okay, mommy. I love you. See you later."
Lexien smile, " I love you too my babies."
Pagkatapos magpaalam ng mga anak niya, tiningnan niya sila Daisy at Venice. Nandito na sila ngayon sa bahay ni Klane.
"Klane already save them. Thank God. They're okay." Aniya sa dalawa.
"Sorry talaga, ah. Hindi ko naman kasi-"
"- Daisy, don't blame yourself. Ang importante ngayon ay maayos na sila, ligtas na sila. Let's just wait here for their arrival. " Saad niya na tinanguan ng dalawa.
Lexien sighed as she composed herself. Kailangan niyang maging handa para sa magiging usapan nila ni Klane mamaya.
She just hope that Klane will understand her.
With that, she closed her eyes and leaned her head on the wall.
"BABIES, let's go." Wika ni Klane matapos mawala tawag ang mga anak niya kay Lexien.
"Can you carry me, kuya?" His princess asked him.
Klane immediately answered his daughter, with a smile. " Of course." Aniya saka binuhat ito.
Tiningnan niya rin si Laxus na nakatingin din sa kanila.
"Ahm ... You want me to carry you too?"
Umiling si Laxus. " No, my sister need that. I can still handle my self."
Napatango si Klane sa sagot ng anak. " Okay, let me hold your hand nalang."
Hindi sumagot si Laxus kaya naman siya na mismo ang humawak sa braso nito, with care - of course. He doesn't want to hurt his son again. That's a promise to himself. He will never hurt his kids, anymore. Ever no more!
With that, they started walking until they reached the van. Sumakay na sila sa loob ng sasakyan. Laxus sitted next to him. While, Lexie, well, sleeping peacefully in his arms.
"Bud, asa'n yung-"
"Shhhh...don't talk. My princess is sleeping. You might wake her up." Suway niya kay Benedix na kakapasok lang sa sasakyan.
Nag-peace sign si Benedix sa kanya. " Sorry..." He said lowly.
Kapagkuwan ay napatingin siya sa katabi niya. " Are you sleepy?"
Laxus nodded, " hmmm..."
"Oh, wait I just called my friends about-" Hindi na natuloy ang sasabihin niya dahil nakatulog na ito.
Nakasandal ang ulo nito sa gilid ng katawan niya. Kaya naman, inayos niya ang pagkakaupo niya.
"Benedix, I need help." Aniya
Benedix smiled, " sure. Ano 'yun?"
"Can you please carry Laxus and put him in my arms, also? Kasya pa naman. I can't move because of my princess." Aniya
"Okay, I'll help you." Sagot ni Benedix.
Tinulungan siya nito. At nang maayos na itong nailagay, nagpasalamat siya sa kaibigan.
"Thanks, bud."
"Don't mention it. Wait, where are the others?" Tanong nito saka luminga sa paligid.
" We're here." Anang ng boses na galing sa labas.
Isa isang pumasok ang mga kasama nila sa sasakyan. At ang masama pa dun ay ang iingay nila.
Kaya nagising si Lexie. " So noisy..."
Klane hissed. " Sshhh... Back to sleep now, baby. Just ignore them, okay?"
Lexie slightly nodded, " hmmm...okay."
Buti nalang ay nakatulog ito kaagad. Agad niyang tiningnan ng masama ang mga kaibigan na ngayon ay parang may dumaang anghel dahil sa sobrang tahimik.
Magkaharap kasi ang mga upuan sa loob ng van na sinasakyan nila. It's not an ordinary van as you think. It's more than that.
"Try to make a noise, your all fu- dead." Banta niya
Nag-peace sign ang mga gago sa kanya saka tumingin sa anak niya.
"Ang cute ng anak mo, bud. Kamukhang kamukha niyo talaga ni Lexien sila." Komento ni Drake habang nakangiting nakatingin sa kambal na anak niya.
"I'm sure they will literally be spoiled by their father." Sabad ni Sebastian
Klane sighed. " Can you please all shut up! Your waking them up."
"Sorry, bud. Can't help it. " Anang ni Mattheus.
"Psh..."
Two hours passed, still, hindi pa rin sila nakarating sa bahay niya. The twins starting to awake. Si Laxus ay agad na umalis sa kanya at umupo sa upuang katabi niya.
Laxus was the first one who wake up. "Aren't we there?"
"No, Laxus. Pero malapit na tayo." Saad ni Klane sa anak niya.
Laxus looked at him, confusedly. Magkasalubong ang dalawa nitong kilay at may pagtataka sa mga mata nito. " How do you know my name? We're not friends as I remember. Even though you help us earlier from that disaster, it doesn't change the point that I hate you. I still hate you. I wonder why my mother friend you. Your nothing but an asshole and jerk."
Parang may sumaksak sa puso ni Klane dahil sa narinig. He couldn't even say a word for a second. His heart turn into pieces after for everything what he heard. The hope earlier that he have about being forgiven by his son, crushed.
Silence filled the whole van. Walang kahit sinong nagsalita sa loob.
Klane on the other hand, hold back his tears that was starting to fall. It's hurt to know that your son hate you so much. He let out a long sighed as he looked at the other side.
"Sorry..." All he can say. He's sorry for everything what he done to him.
"Psh..." Laxus rolled his eyes. " Don't be sorry."
"Kuya ... Your too bad to him!" Sabad ng anak niyang babae. Nagising na pala ito. " Isusumbong kita kay mommy! You should atleast say thank you to him. He save us from danger!"
Klane felt lighten when his daughter defended him.
" Whatever, Lex. I don't care. " Laxus said, nonchalantly.
"Ah ... Hehehe ... Kids, gusto niyo ng pagkain?" Sabad ni Drake na may hawak na chips. Klane know that Drake did that to ease the pressure of them.
Laxus and Lexie looked at the food and shook their heads.
Si Lexie ang sumagot kay Drake. " Thank you nalang po for your offer but it's a junk food." Ngumiwi ito. " Mom dislikes us eating that. She said it's not healthy."
"Oh, " Drake all he can say. Kapagkuwan ay may kinuha ito sa loob ng bag. " How about this one, baby?" Anito saka ipinakita ang biscuit na may pangalang 'Oreo'.
Lexie smile. " Can I have one po? It's my favorite food! I love cookies and cream." Saad nito habang nakangiting tumingin sa pagkain. Klane smile secretly.
Just like Lexien, his princess love cookies and cream food too.
"Sure, baby." Sagot ni Drake saka binigyan nito ng dalawa.
Lexie got the food and smile to him. " Thank you po, Kuya?"
Drake smile at her. " Drake. You can call me kuya Drake or Kuya Pogi. Anything you want."
"Thank you po, kuya Pogi." Saad ni Lexie saka tumingin kay Laxus. " Kuya, you want?"
Laxus looked away before picking up the food.
Lexie smile and looked at everyone. " Hi, I'm Lexie Kelle Smith and this is my twin brother named Laxus Klein Smith. Nice meeting you po, how about your names kuya's?"
It's was Benedix who spoke up first. " I'm Benedix Gonzaga, baby girl. You can call me Tito Pogi rin."
"Mattheus Halley, at your service, princess."
"Sebastian Gray Velasquez."
"Blue Cloud Vergara. Yung driver natin baby girl, his named is Zander McGregor."
Kapagkuwan ay tumingin si Lexie kay Klane. " How about you, po? What's your name, Kuya?"
Klane smile at her. " I'm Klane Evans Craig."
"Wait ... I think I hear your named po." Saad ni Lexie saka nag-isip. Kapagkuwan ay bumaba ito sa pagkakaupo sa kanya at lumapit kay Laxus. Nag bubulungan ang dalawa na rinig na rinig naman niya.
"Kuya, diba siya yung name na nasa letter ni mommy na binasa natin noon?"
"Yeah."
"What's his relationship with mommy, kuya? Do you think his mommy's boyfriend?"
" I don't know. I'm not sure."
"Pag naging boyfriend siya ni mommy, magiging daddy na natin siya? Paano na yung real daddy natin, kuya?"
"Don't think to much, lil' sis. We figured it out once we talk to mommy."
"Oh, okay."
Pagkatapos ng bulungan nila ay umupo si Lexie sa sahig saka nagsimulang kumain. Kapagkuwan ay tumingin ito pabalik balik sa kanilang dalawa ni Laxus.
"Kuya Lax, parang magkamukha kayo ni Kuya Klane. Parang lang naman..." Bulalas nito habang nakatingin sa kanilang dalawa.
Laxus looked at Klane, silly. " Really, lil' sis? We looked really alike?"
Lexie nodded, " yes, kuya Lax. Diba po, mga kuya's?"
Tumango ang mga kaibigan ni Klane. Habang si Klane naman ay nakatingin lang sa magiging reaction ni Laxus.
Laxus just shrugged and continued to eat.
"Kuya Lax, do you think if we meet our father soon, he will accept us?"
Natigilan si Klane sa tanong ni Lexie.
' Of course, I will accept you both, wholeheartedly and sincerely. '
Laxus answered his twin while looking at Klane. " I don't know. Maybe he's just ignore and left us without saying anything, like he does to me."
Umiwas si Klane ng tingin dito saka tinakpan ang mga matang malapit ng lumuha.
" K-kuya, h-he will did that? Wait ... nagkita na kayo ni, daddy?" Bulalas ni Lexie
Laxus on the other hand felt guilty about what he had said. When he looked at his father, yep, he called him his father. He know that Klane is his father - their father to be exact. Kahit hindi nito sabihin sa kanya, alam niya - ramdam niya na ito ang ama nila.
Laxus saw tears was about to fell from his father's eyes. He felt so guilty about it. Kung hindi nito natakpan ang sariling mukha ay talagang makikita nila ang pagtulo ng luha nito.
Laxus sighed. " But maybe, just maybe our father lil' sis will do the opposite. He will accept us wholeheartedly and sincerely. Let's just wait for that time to come." Aniya
Actually, alam niyang hindi pa alam nito na may anak ito - sila ni Lexie. He heard his mother told that to his Tita Venice. Kaya hindi siya nagtaka nung magkita sila sa mall, ay di nito kilala siya.
Naniniwala siyang matatanggap rin sila ng ama niya. Honestly, hindi naman talaga ganon kataas ang hate niya sa ama nila. He just wanted to test him. Gusto niyang makita kung ano ang magagawa nito para sa kanya - sa kanila. He wanted to make him prove himself that his serious and his willing to accept them. He wanted to prove himself to them.
Kaya niya nagagawa o nasasabi ang mga bagay na iyon dahil may gusto siyang patunayan dito.
Nakita niya kung paano tinanggal ang pagtatakip ng mga kamay nito sa mukha. He saw his father face lighten as what he said to him.
"Kuya!"
Napatingin siya sa kakambal. " What?"
Sumimangot ito. " Nakita mo na si daddy? Ba't 'di mo 'ko sinama!? Ang daya mo naman, e!"
"It's just an accident but don't worry, we will meet him soon or maybe later." Aniya saka tumingin sa ama nila.
' Be ready dad 'cause you will be facing my silly games. '
Lihim siyang napangisi sa naisip. Gusto niyang pahirapan ang ama nila. Laxus knew that his mother is a softy person. Kaya siya nalang ang gagawa ng mga kalokohan para pahirapan ito.
' Ah, I'm so excited to see my dad suffer. '
