[40] So it Begins...
_______________________________________________________
Lena's POV
"Kuya may nangyari ba?" tanong ko sa kapatid ko, and now I have this queasy feeling gripping in my stomach. It's churning my insides like something was off. Actually matagal ko na itong nararamdaman hindi ko lang pinapansin.
But f there's something that I take pride in my being a soldier.
It's my intuition.
"Everything's alright" anito "Kikuri just wants a shell from that island and take one for my junior too" sagit nito na ikinangiti ko lalo na ng maalala ko ang maganda kong pamangkin.
"Is that Tita Lena?" Narinig ko ang napaka cute na anghel ng pamilya namin
"Why are you here my princess? You should be helping mommy prepare food" my brother tenderly said. Lalong lumuwang yung ngiti ko. Ang kuya kong leon parang maamong tupa sa anak niyang penguin na mahilig sa ice cream.
"Mommy said the food is ready na Daddy" she replied "Can I talk to my tita Lena? I miss her" she said
Awww.... "put her on the phone kuya" saad ko sabay ngiti.
"Hello baby, how's the most gorgeous girl in the world?" I asked
"Titaaaa!!!!" Kikuri adorably called out.
"Hello munchkin. Missed me?" I said
"Yes tita! Amd tito Aston too!" She said "Mommy said you might be making playmates for me and Pommie" madaldal na saad nito, napailing nalang ako. Kahit kelan talaga yung nanay ng batang ito oo.
"Is that true tita?" She said in a hopeful tune.
"Wellll~ maybe~" saad ko which made her squeal in delight. Kasunod nun ay ang boses ng babaeng miss na miss ko na ang hipag kong baliw. Si Ran.
"Is that your tita Lena?" Ran asked
"Yes mommy" magalang na sagot ni Kikuri "You wanna talk to mommy tita?" she asked me
"Sure~" I said at maya maya pa si Ran na ang nasa telepono.
"Lenaaaaaa~ Baklaaaaa~ Namiss kitaaaa~ Isang taon ka bang itatago ni aston dyan sa kung saang lupalop na yan ha? Ipapakita niyo lang ba ang pamangkin ko pag isang taon na siya? o baka naman ikukulong niyo siya sa tore a la Rapunzel ha? OMG Lena! Ginawa niyo na ba? Masakit ba? Masarap? Nag-enjoy ka ba----?"
"RAN!!!!" tili ko as I could feel my face heating up now. "Ano ka ba?!" I hissed afterwards
"Jusmiyo!~ nahiya ka pa sakin eh alam ko namang iyan ang ipinunta niyo dyan!" she snapped at napapikit lang ako para kalmahin ang sarili ko. Kahit kelan talaga napaka opposites ng babaeng ito at ng kuya ko. However, kahit ganto tong hipag kong 'to love na love ko 'to.
"Ang ingay mo mamaya marinig ka ni Kikuri!" saad ko at tumawa lang ito
"Tange lumabas ako syempre alam mo namang santa ang tingin sakin ng panganay namin ng kuya mo mouhahahaha tapos ang tingin naman sakin ng kuya mo eh Dyosa na sinasamba lalo na pag gabi" she said sabay halakhak at napa-facepalm lang ako. Minsan talaga malala na ang isang ito.
"Gaga! Haha so kamusta naman kayo? as much as miss ko na kayo gusto ko munang manatili dito sa ngayon" saad ko ng biglang natahimik sa kabilang linya si Ran.
"Lena..." she said in a serious tone at waring may kabayong sumipa sa dibdib ko.
"I don't know what's going on dahil alam mo namang hindi ako nakikialam sa trabaho ng kuya mo. But I'm having a really bad feeling, and you...of all people know how my intuition is" saad nito. Pag ganoon ang tono ni Ran ay tunay na kinakabahan ako.
Her intuitions with mine. I knew it.
There was something off.
"I felt it too" I said "Kaya hindi ko alam kung dapat na ba akong bumalik dyan" saad ko sa kanya
"Your brother is handling it Lena. At kilala mo ang kuya mo. My darling husband would take care of everything. So enjoy niyo muna ang honeymoon niyo. Just be safe alright?" saad ni Ran as I smiled
"We will"
Ng ibaba ko ang phone naramdaman kong pumulupot sa bewang ko ang mga bisig ng asawa ko.
"Dinner's ready Mrs. Martins" he said lovingly as I smiled at him. I stared at Aston.
I can't let anything destroy us.
Even the unknown
"Aston...I need you to be totally honest with me..."
"Lena..."
"Is something wrong?"
Rain's POV
Napangiti ako ng kumaway si Reino sa mga fans nila sa studio.
Now my happiness is almost complete, I can finally hear the wedding bells!!!
Pero malayo sa Wedding Bells ang narinig ko. Ng biglang may marinig kaming mga singhap mula sa audience. Kasunod nun ay ang tila pagbagsak ng mundo ko. It was a slide show of me and Corvette!
P-pero....sino ang may gawa nito?
Nilingon ko ang audience na tutok na tutok sa video as I frantically looked at Reino who was transfixed at the screen, with that broken look he wore when Corvette was around.
Then a voice came.
"She's a slut. She was juggling two guys at once! Kyle Corvette Montefalco! And now our Reino!!!" Sigaw ng isa at biglang nag-almahan ang mga tao.
Lalo na ng magflash ang isang video of Corvette dancing to cheer me up. Everything he did to make me happy. Our small walls at the park kasama si Corrain. That video of his performance in Japan where he tried to cheer me up. Natutok ang mga mata ko sa screen.
"Will you give me a chance Rain?" He asked and the me then nodded, afterward we hugged at nakita sa video ang pag-alis ni Reino.
"Oh my gods!!! Did you see that?! She deliberately hurt Reino!!! And moreover she was also flirting with Corvette!!! What a slutbag!!!" Naring kong sigaw ng isa.
Hindi totoo yan....no....
No....
This can't be happening.....
No....
Nakita kong nagtaasan nanaman ang hate banners, nagsimula nading mambato ng kung ano ano ang mga audience.
"fuck!!! Stop it!!!" Reino roared and hugged me as he shielded me from everything.
"Yameroooo!!!" Kria came to our aid. Pero paglabas na paglabas palang niya ay nagflash na ang pictures nila ni Corvette na magkasama. Some even kissing!!!
"Oh my god!!! She stole Corvette from Kria! Malandi! Malandi!!!"
I felt the tears...
"Pinaasa niya si Corvette and then she dropped him like a hot potato! What a slutbag!"
"Get away from our Reino! You don't deserve him!"
"You're not for him so stay away!!!"
Naririnig ko ang sigawan nila....I felt Reino's hug tighten around me as he turned back to the point na siya na ang tinatamaan ng mga ibinabato nilang lahat.
Reino...
Tama na please...
Wag niyo siyang sasaktan....
Tama na...
Pero nagulat kaming lahat ng may humagis na isang bakal na upuan sa screen na agad na sumabog. Nagtilian ang mga tao at nagsitakbuhan.
At bago pa ito magliyab ay napatay na ng kapatid ni Corvette ang apoy gamit ang fire extinguisher.
"Ang morbid mo talaga kahit kelan Kuya" saad nito sabay ngiti. Nag-angat ako ng tingin mula kay Reino patungo sa direction ng namato ng bakal na upuan sa screen, pero bago pa ako makahuma ay ang tanging papalayong likuran nalang niya ang nakita ko.
Corvette...
Pero bago ito tuluyang umalis ay lumingon ito sa akin.
"Hoy Keroro! Magsalita ka kaya? Tignan mo yang engot na fiance mo na nasasaktan na di ka padin magffrog up?" he grinned at me
"Frog up?"
"Yeah. You're a Kero right?" he grinned at napatingin ako kay Reino as he chuckled
"Kakaiba talaga kayong dalawa" he said pero ng mapansin kong dumudugo ang gilid ng ulo niya I was horrified!
They can't do that to my Reino!!!
They can't do that TO MY FUTURE HUSBAND!!!!
Kumalas ako saglit sa pagkakayakap kay Reino but I held his hand.
My turn to fight for you.
"Kayong lahat" I said calmly as I looked at the fangirls sternly. "Wala akong pakialam sa inyo, sa nararamdaman niyo, sa mga sentimyento de patis ninyo! Heck! I don't even care if you cease to exist! I know I may not be the best woman out there for Reino but I love him. I truly love him and I am grateful that you love Reino too. However...I will not tolerate anyone who hurts him!" I roared in anger.
"Wala akong pakialam kung naiintindihan niyo man ako o hindi. Ang siste mga 'teh...mahal ko si Reino at mahal niya ako. Wala kayong alam sa pinagdaanan namin kaya wala kayong karapatang manghusga! Wala rin kayong karapatang batuhin ako ng kung ano ano dahil hindi niyo naman ako pinapakain! Wala kayong karapatang saktan si Reino! Naiintindihan ko naman eh, pero kasi sobra na kayo. I know you're putting your best interests for him, but ano ba ang gusto niyo ha? ang batuhin kaming dalawa ng kung ano ano hanggang sa mapaghiwalay niyo kami? But at what cost? Hindi niyo ba nakikitang sa ginagawa niyo ay ang lalaking mahal nating lahat ang mas nasasaktan?" I looked at them as they were starting to feel ashamed. Some looked away, and some cried.
"Pasensya na kayo dahil hindi ko alam ang pinagdadaanan niyo ngayon, na ikakasal na sa iba ang lalaking mahal niyo. Dahil sa buong buhay ko isang lalaki lang ang minahal ko" I continued as I looked at him.
"At hinding hindi ako papayag na muli kong makita pa ang kalungkutan sa mga mata niya kaya naman..."
I let go of his hand.
And through my five-inch heels. I knelt as I bowed down
"Rain..."
"Please let us be happy...I'm begging you" I said at nagsitinginan lang sila sa akin.
"I promise to take care of him for the life of me. To make him happy with every waking hour and never to leave by his side through his darkest times. So please...please let us be happy"
Akmang magsasalita na ang isa sa kanila ng biglang may pumasok. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko ng makita ko kung sino. It was...
Ate Titania with the holy freaking macaroni shizz!!!! The Lieutenant General of the Army!!!!! Zephyr Wraith Lavigne!!!
"Get up imouto-chan" Ate Titania squinted in fury as her eyes roamed around the place. Lalo na sa mga fangirls ni Reino.
"I want them all arrested! Now!"
Sa kabilang banda.
"Rigid...?" Ran asked bahagyang nagising ng maramdamang umupo sa kama ang asawa, mukhang hindi pa ito natutulog base sa seryosong mukha nito.
"Ran....there is a big problem between Lena and Aston. I never hide any secrets from you but please, I don't want my sister to know it yet." he said
"M-may nililihim si Aston kay Lena?" Ran gasped as Rigid placed his hands on his face
"I knew that boy was trouble for Lena! I can't believe I allowed him to get close to my sister! But she loves him" he said, ito ang iilan sa mga panahong nakita ni Ran na powerless ang asawa kaya naman yumakap siya dito.
"I...I need to meet some people to fix this" he said
"Do you need me to come with you?" Ran asked but Rigid just smiled at her and kissed her tenderly.
"I can handle this my queen. Dito lang muna kayo ng prinsesa natin sa bahay" he said at hinawakan ang tyan ni Ran
"Hey sport. Grow up really strong okay? Para may kasama ako sa pagprotekta ng Mommy at Ate mo ha?" saad nito kausap ang anak nila sa sinapupunan ni Ran.
"He will. Just like his daddy" saad naman ni Ran as she kissed Rigid.
"I'll have to go now" paalam nito
"Be back soon darling"
"I will"
Paglabas ni Rigid ng bahay may isang kotse ng nakaparada doon.
" 'sup general?" Chiri called
"Hi general!" masayang bati naman ni Chinna
"Yo!" bati ng lalaking kasama niya noon sa bahay ng mga Martins. His former squad was back.
The twins Chiri and Chinna or agent Double C's they twins who always does the dirty work. Pinakikinabangan ng dalawa ang isa't isa, walang masyadong nakakaalam na dalawang tao si Chiri at Chinna.
Chinna is the front, the actress. Siya ang laging nagsisimula ng mga proyekto nila and Chiri finishes them.
A dangerous duo. But Rigid knew them.
"Chiri~ this was my project!" himaktol ng nakababatang si Chinna
"No way Chichi! As much as I know you love messing up with people. Wraith's involved here! And he's mine" Chiri snapped as Chinna just smirked.
"Is Ran and Kikuri safe?" the guy asked at tumango lang si Rigid
"Alright let's roll then" Chiri exclaimed.
"Is everything ready?" tawag ni Rigid sa phone
"Affirmative" saad ng boses sa kabilang linya.
To get Drei out of his prison tower. Dahil siya lang ang susi sa gulong ito.
