CASSIDY
My brother just visit with his wife, Kreisha. talking about some other things of, situation between lolo and us, Lolo even apologized to Kuya kaya maayos na naman ang sitwasyon namin, i suddenly felt envy Kreisha that she will marry my brother i mean, i feel like i want to marry again with my husband bagay na gustong-gusto kong ulitin na ikasal sakaniya pero ayoko naman pangunahan lahat, i don't even know if my husband had a plans abou marrying again, i have no idea. but Vini does secrets somehow and maybe he had a plan about that.
nasa isang restaurant kami, Lolo want to go out with a family, mom, Tito Lionel, Papa, Caspian, Vini, Vienna, Kuya and Kreisha. we just had gathered a family business out here but sadly, Uncle Clark wasn't here since he migrate in U.S they are just coming visiting me, or mama if they have business to do here.
“When is your wedding bytheway, i heard your proposal a month ago and don't you have plans rushing it? Kreisha is pregnant, don't tell me you are going to get married after or if that's already big?”
kuya chuckled. “no, our wedding will be next week that's why we came to inform you about the weeding next week.” inabutan niya kami ng imbitasyon, tinignan ko ito. wow, their invitation are really cute. napangiti ako, i feel so excited to see my brother got married! of course, bata palang kami sabi niya at pinangako pa nga namin na mauuna siya dapat ikasal who knows i got married first before him.
that's a twist.
“please, wear white for wedding clothes. only white, we made it for color code that it's all purely white.” aniya.
that's great, i have a lot of white dresses i can wear one of them, just not much tight of course, i'm pregnant. “that's great.” ngumiti ako, excited na ako sa kasal. actually i've been so excited for a month since he proposed to her, maligaya at excited na akong makita siyang ikasal and please, that's my brother i also heard she was pregnant with triplets.
naguusap sila at ako naman panay ang kain ko, kanina pa ako kumakain pero hindi naman ako mabusog-busog. damn, i just realize i didn't eat a lot today. am i? i mean, i'm not yet full. “Sister, are you pregnant?” biglang tanong ni kuya sa akin, hindi nalang ako sumagot pero tinignan ako ni Kreisha at nginitian pa niya ako sabay lingon kay kuya.
“Baby, she's pregnant.” masayang sambit nito at masaya pa, why are they being such a weird today? they are a bit creepy, actually the way they react is so creepy. napailing nalang ako sakaniya, really brother? why is that reaction for? “Dude, that's a nice shot.” sabay fist-bomb pa kay Vini, are they nuts?
i raised my eyebrows. “I know, i'm having a baby boy. i can feel that baby is a boy.” sabay hawak at himas naman niya sa tiyan ko, gusto niya talaga ng lalake para mag-karoon siya ng kasundo? well, i want a baby boy too just like him and mom. “i felt like our first baby is also a boy.” kuya said and hold Kreisha's tummy.
is this a boy baby gang?
I just realize things like we are completely fine. we are having that perfectly relationship with this family, i feel like kumpleto na ang pamilya ko kase heto ako kasama ang asawa ko, ang anak ko ang pamilya ko, para bang wala na akong mahihiling at isang bagay nalang siguro ang gusto kong matanggap, ang gusto kong makamit, ang maging tahimik ng tuluyan ang pamilya ko sa kamay ni Lena.
lena is still out there and while she's there we have no peace on this family, ever again for those long years we've been through in a tragic paradise we wanted, its so tragic that there was a people behind us that wanting us to be ruined, it happened to be ruined.
“ilang bwan na si baby, kreisha?” tanong ko kay kreisha i saw her just holding her tummy, ngumiti siya at tinignan ako habang nakahaplos siya sa tiyan niya. “5 weeks.” oh, hindi pa naman rin siya gaano halata at masaya ako akala ko kase hindi ako magka-karoon ng pamangkin kay Kuya. ang tagal kase, ilang taon narin sila but she never get pregnant at once for those long years. i never thought seeing a man like my brother who can take that long years before they..
i mean man nowdays, does you know? they don't live without any alot of experience with s-x. hindi ko ba alam bakit bigla 'tong sumasagi sa isip ko, i was just saying about.. i'm happy to see my brother creating a life with kreisha. he is setting his own life, that's so great.
Pero kahit na ganito pa ako kasaya alam ko naman sa loob ko na merong kulang, kulang dahil we aren't in that peace we wanted. i mean, i.. hindi pa ako, kami masaya habang nanjan si Lena. that's bitch won't and will never stop until she gets what she wanted. it was all with me, from the past and now? are all the same. the way she acted is the way lian did. before the incident i caught lian and vini, i've met Lian several times. i thought she will not be a problem, but i was wrong.
After classes nagtungo naman ako sa Court naroon kase si Vini kasama sila Cole, Dylan at Shawn kaya naman dun ako agad na dumaretso they are having their trainee for the game next two weeks, naghahanda na sila at ang team for this school's basketball competition versus to the other school's team.
yumakap ako agad ng makita ko ang boyfriend ko. “Vian!” boses ng isang babae kaya naman napatingin ako bigla and who is that voice? babae, nilingon ko ito sino naman ang babaeng 'to? i mean, ngayon ko lang siya nakita. “Oh, Hi. I'm Lian. you are?” her voice is kinda, she's kinda bitch.
ngumiti naman ako. “I'm Cassidy, Vian's Girlfriend.” para bang naging disappointed ang mukha ng lian na iyon ng sabihin kong girlfriend ako ni Vian, who is she anyways and this man couldn't cheat me with her she seems younger than me, what? pumapatol to pedo na ba ang boyfriend ko?
“Oh, Love. I was tutoring her, her teacher recommend me to tutor her so i did.”
tumango ako, i will understand that since its a teacher's rocommendation. but i felt something with this teacher, its a kinda thing of creepy for me. not much, she's a creepy bitch. i knew it she likes vian, sino ba ang hindi magkakagusto sa boyfriend ko? he is the hottest student. kaya maintindihan ko at gusto ko 'mang intindihin ay no, its a no for me. bitch eh?
I've always meeting that lian halos kahit nasaan kami nandun siya bagay na ikinata-taka ko why is she seems following us? there has a time na halos kapitan niya ang boyfriend kaya ako iyong todo sa pag-singit dahil ayokong hinahawakan niya ang boyfriend ko, naiinis ako. who the hell is she to him?
Napailing at napabalik ako sa aking realidad at agad na tumingin sa asawa ko na nasa tabi ko ngayon, nginitian niya ako at pinunasan ang gilid ng labi ko, i really felt so happy. masayang-masaya ako ngayon, i can't say anything about it masaya lang talaga ako ngayon na ito kasama ko ang pamilya ko.
i was just smiling. “you looks so creepy..” lumingon naman ako kay kuya ng sabihin niya ang salitang 'yon at habang naka-tingin pa sa akin, creepy. ako? ako talaga ang creepy masama ba maging masaya't naging creepy pa talaga ako sa lagay na 'to? “Kuya!” i yelled.
tumawa siya. “totoo naman, ang creepy mo tignan cassy. ngi-ngiti ngiti ka jan.” ni-rolyohan ko nalang siya ng mata kaysa ang pakinggan ang mga sasabihin o sinasabi niya. freak, he is a deadly weirdo. i'm so serious about that weirdo things. i'm creepy then he is weirdo.
“i'm just happy.”
Matapos sa restaurant ay umuwi narin kami, hindi ko alam at wala akong ideya kung anong pinaguusapan ni Vini at Lolo sa baba kasama pa si Papa, sabi niya naman kanina ay man-to-man talk daw sila kaya naman habang naguusap sila ay sinamahan ko na muna si Vienna na matulog, i was telling her a fairytale story. ito ang isang bagay na gustong-gusto kong gawin sa anak ko since i haven't do this yet before.
nakangiti akong binuksan ang libro at nagsimulang magbasa. “Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away, but she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart, and as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast, and placed a powerful spell on the castle, and all who lived there. Ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle, with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his twenty-first year. If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair, and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love a beast?” nagbabasa lang ako ng daretso at ang baby ko nakasandal sa akin at nakikinig sa aking kwento.
“as gaston dies after pulling out the knife off the beast's body he died falling from the castle, the beast had fallen of his dying body as a beast that he would die as a beast but Belle, she says the word that the enchantres also waited for a years. the word from a woman who loved a beast, a kiss of love that transform everyone into their real self and replacing the memories of all the people, she restore all of their memories.”
i was paused for a second when i saw her sleeping beside me, napangiti ako ng mahimbing na ang tulog ng asawa ko hinuga ko siya ng maayos at nilagyan ng kumot, humalik ako bago lumabas ng kwarto niya at para patayin ang ilaw ang himbing ng tulog ng anak ko, she must be so tired. halos mapatalon naman ako ng bulagain ako ng asawa ko paglingon ko sa likod ko ng maisara ko ang pintuan ng kwarto ng anak namin.
tumawa siya at naglakad kaming dalawa papunta sa kwarto para magpahinga narin, its a long day and i need a rest for today bukas ko nalang siya tatanungin about sa anong pinagusapan nila papa kanina, mukhang seryoso at baka rin personal, i guess he wouldn't tell me about that. i guess? my love, ang lalakeng pinakamamahal ko at kahit na kailan hindi ko ipagpapalit sa kung sinong lalake, kahit na kailan hindi ko siya mapapalitan sa puso't isipan ko. i just take sleep while hugging my husband, i suddenly miss his scent.
