CHAPTER 12
HINDI makapagsalita si Roy ng makita niya ang girlfriend niya at ang ayos nito, kamukhang kamukha nga talaga niya si Penelope lalo na ngayon na para silang minulto ng namatay na kaluluwa at humihingi ng hustisya sa pagtakas ni Conrad sa kulungan. he knows and remember the face of Penelope Somerhalder at sigurado siya sa mukha ng babaeng nasa harapan niya ngayon ay kamukhang kamukha nga talaga, walang imit siya na nakatayo kaya naan halos magtaka na si Cheshire sakaniya bakit hindi siya nagsasalita at titig na titig lang kay cheshire at anong problema sa ayos niya kung makatingin naman ito para lalapain na siya ng buhay? why?
para bang nakakita siya ng patay na nabuhay sa sitwasyon niya na titig na titig sa girlfriend niya it was like, he doesn't know how to react or even to say with her dahil hindi niya naman pwedeng sabihin that he saw penelope and infront of her, she doesn't have any idea about penelope that she looks like that dead sister of somerhalder. she's beautiful and yet, look exactly like Penelope Somerhalder.
"Roy?" para bang wala itong naririnig kahit na lumipas na ang minutong tinatawag siya ni cheshire at si robin na pumipitik sa harapan niya wala parin itong imik, Cheshire raised her eyebrowns and slapped his face kung saan may gulat na reaksyon ang bisita na naroon sa kwarto ngayon. they are shocked someone slapped Roy on his face.
yet, funny. "nakakahiya ka, nandito sila tito Reggie. what's with you at anong problema ganiyang ang tingin mo sakin for damn minutes since you came here. what the hell is wrong with you?!" she yelled.
"s-sorry.." aniya at napailing naman si Cheshire sakaniya, he is weird. so weird. "okay ka lang ba, Roy?" boses iyon ng ina ni Oliver at Liover na bisita nila ngayon hindi naman siya nakapag salita dahil sa kakatingin sa girlfriend niya, he's acting weird.
really weird. "y-yes, just. she's too and very beautiful today and makes me just to make my mind go far way.. well, I'm sorry about that. I haven't myself in a minute, sorry fox.." pag hinging tawad naman niya agad dito at sa kaniyang kasintahan.
what's with him? hindi niya ba malaman, why would he believe things impossible for her and for him. umiling nalang siya na ngumiti sa girlfriend niya, fake. hanggang ngayon ang relasyon nila hindi parin umaangat but he is expecting it to be good maybe one ot these days? gusto niya lang na maging totoo ang relasyon nila that's why he is working with her too hard to get her trust and even the love she deserve to have. he will love her entirely as she wanted and dream to have. he wanted her to feel the love. that, love of eternity. kaya naman niya.
kaya naman niyang ibigay ang pagmamahal na hindi naibigay sakaniya ng dating minahal o mamahalin niya sana, isang taong pinaasa at sinaktan lang naman siya, ang puso niyang naging bato.
because of this guy. bakit ba naman iniisip niya pa yun? he should be focus on his side, yung bagay na gusto niyang magawa for her. he was all thinking about her wala na siyang pakielam sa ibang bagay, kagaya nalang ng sa problema niya sa ama niya.
no, he doesn't really want to think about it, at ayaw niya narin na isipin pa ang tungkol 'ron. for what?
"Knock Knock." lumingon siya agad sa boses na nagmula sa pintuan, akala niya'y minumulto siya ng ama ng somerhalder. mabuti nalang nasa isipan niya na mayroong kakambal ang ama nito na duon ng gagaling ang malakas na dugo ng pagkakaroon ng anak na kambal ng dating Captain Somerhalder. the late captain somerhalder. "Pendelton?" tawag ng kaniyang ina sa bisita na dumating, bisitang lalake.
Prometheus & Prometheo's uncle, na sa pagkaalam ay nakatira sa Austria pero mukhang umuwi ito bigla, may alam naman kaya ang kambal dito?
he shrugged. "Cheshire?" tawag nito ng makita ang girlfriend niya sa tabi niya, ngumiti naman agad ang kaniyang girlfriend sa lalake na dumating. "you know her?" his mother asked with confusion on her face.
"I met her earlier and knowing, she was the daughter of my best bud. Ronnie Fierro, hindi ko rin alam na nag migrate na pala si Ronnie at Carla sa America."
he tsked. "anyways, I come visit to see you. nakita ko si ray and he told me you went to accident. I told you already, Fel. Reynolds will do nothing but to hurt you pero hindi ka nakinig sakin. If you did listen to me, maybe ako ang asawa mo hindi siya." his mother just rolled her eyes, there's a history?
halos mapakamot siya sa ulo ng marinig iyon na tila may nakaraan ang mga ito hindi niya naman alam kung ano, they are oldies anyways. mahina pa siyang tumawa at tinignan ang mga ito.
"Pendelton, stop being drama king. you know we can't be together kahit iwan ko si Reynolds. because you are meant to marry your wife, Kristen."
hinawakan niya ang kamay ni Cheshire. "sa labas lang kami, ma?" paalam niya sa ina at lumabas kasama ang girlfriend, dinala lang naman niya ito sa coffee shop sa tapat ng ospital para kumain at uminom ng kape, he hasn't been talk to her today.
may inasikaso siya and he missed a lot and being with her, hindi pa naman niya nagagawang maaya si Cheshire na mag date sila matapos ng ma-aksidente ng kaniyang ina. he wanted to make things up with her but it didn't work because of the accident pero pinaplano na niya agad na once na makalabas ng ospital ang ina? he will make it up with her, a lot of things he want to do with her.
"mag ex pala ang tito nila theo at ang mommy mo?" tanong ni cheshire sakaniya pagkaupo palang nila sa upuan, he chuckled at naupo sa upuan niya at tinignan si cheshire ng may ngiti. "well, naririnig ko lang before sa kapatid ni Mom. because her and him, mag ex sila before then they broke up and mom met my father which, they say a bad idea of her."
he giggles. "mom married dad after bumalik pa nga daw si tito pendelton for mom but they can't be together that time mom is married with my dad and tito is engage with his wife, Tita Kristen Mrytle. everyone hated dad, kasi masama ang history ni dad and he had this a lot of enemy but mom, mom stayed with dad even that tito is asking him to come with him she didn't and dad hates him seeing and visiting mom. my mom never come with him dahil alam niyang ikakasal narin si tito pendelton."
kumain na muna sila napatigil siya saglit ng makita si Nixon, what is he doing here with that woman?
napailing naman siya. "pag na-discharge na si mommy, idadate kita ang that's a promise fox. just give me a little time then after, ilalabas kita." pangako nito sa dalaga, cheshire smiled.
"you don't have to, okay lang naman ako. masaya na ako yung masaya kang inaalagaan ko si tita."
hinawakan niya ang kamay nito. "alam mo naman na seryoso ako sayo, hindi ba? at kapag seryoso ako, gagawin ko talaga lahat para lang mapasakin. Chesh, I like you and I love you. I'm still waiting for you to say the same word to me, that you like me and you love me too." it's like a torture na hanggang ngayon ay hindi parin, na wala paring pinagbago.
SHE doesn't know? her mind saying that she's just craving for him but also, her heart is beating lalo na kapag ang lalaking ito ay hinahawakan ang kamay niya and holding her so tight kapag may ginayawa itong katamisan sakaniya, mabilis ang tibok ng puso niya, hindi tumitigil at walang tigil ang puso na tila ba lalabas na mula sa kaniyang katawan, like right now.
it's beating.
"you are willing to wait for me? for me to answer your i love you? desedido ka talaga na antayin ako sa oras na magawa ko ring sabihin na mahal kita?"
hindi lang naman siya makapaniwala na there is a man who is willing to wait until the perfect time of she can finally admit it on herself that she likes him.
that she love him too. "of course, maghihintay ako." pero natatakot siya na baka mainip ito, na baka isang araw may iba na itong gusto at hindi na siya nakapag hintay. "baka mainip ka lang." malungkot na sambit naman niya dito, tinignan siya ni roy sa mukha nitong nagtatanong. he's confused why would she say that to him? bakit nga naman ba?
"what are you saying?" he said, worried siya na ba baka one day wala ng roy na naggihintay sakaniya, worried siya na baka masaktan na naman siya dahil sa may isang taong hindi na kinaya na antayin pa siya, she can't lose another. "chesh.." hinawakan ni roy ang kamay niya na hinalikan pa nga ito.
he cupped her face. "I love you, I will never get tired of loving you cheshire. remember my words okay?"
"don't over think. it's not and never gonna happened that Royve Wilson will get tired of waiting for you."
napangiti siya, he's really sweet.
"kaya, when mom got discharged from hospital ida-date talaga kita. I want you know that I am a romantic guy that will bring you into a date."
ngumiwi siya. "you don't have to bring me to a romantic date, you have been giving it to me." nagkunot naman ang noo ni roy sa sinani niya, hindi niya nagets ang ibig sabihin 'non. bakit ang slow ata niya ngayon? "I never bring you to a date."
"yes you did, nakalimutan mo agad ang ginawa natin kagabi? you know i prefer calling it romantic date than calling it a simple lusty sex. It's still romantic to bring woman in heaven, so. that's a date for me."
pumigil ito. "Cheshire.."
she chuckled. "I'm just saying, we already have dated. you don't need to bring me into another date." umiling si roy, hindi talaga susuko ayaw pumayag, this man. "I'm still dating you because we're dating."
natawa nalang siya na tinapos ang pagkain nila bago sila bumalik sa ospital, she let him in first dahil she excused na may kukuhanin lang siya pero hindi. she saw someone, kaya sinundan niya ito. him again, ano ba ang kailangan niya? she knew he's been following her all around. why would he do that?
she gasped. "Tell me all about why are you following me?" tanong niya kaya napatigil ang lalake sa paglalakad at pag alis nito. "alam mo ba ang kasalanan na ginawa nila sa pamilya mo?"
"kasalanan nila kung bakit ka nahiwalay sa totoong pamilya mo, tapos ipagtatanggol mo pa ang wilson?"
he tsked. "you're real father will disown you when he finds out who you trust, love and defend with."
nagtaas ang kilay niyang sapakin ito sa mukha, he has nothing to do with it. "you moron, wag na wag mo idadamay ang adopted parents at real parents ko dahil unang una, wala kang alam sakin!" aniya.
"bakit, kilala mo ba sila? kilala mo ba ang tunay mong mga magulang? hindi, wala ka namang alam. wala kang alam kasi baby ka palang iba ng pamilya ang kinalakihan mo, you don't even know that you have met your brothers already. do you?"
ngumiti ang lalake, what is he saying? na nakilala na niya ang mga kapatid niya and she didn't know?
"I.M." sigaw ng isang boses, isang lalake. gwapo ito, maputi na tila ba may lahi rin, sino naman kaya ang isang 'to? "stop messing up on her and stop following her. how dare you to disobey your superior. and you follow this young lady is below the law."
nagtataka siya. this stalker is a agent?
"I'm sorry miss for what he did- to you.." saglit na natahimik ang lalake habang titig na titig ito sakaniya, pinaalis niya ang isang lalake at naiwan naman ang may lahi na lalake. "wow.." manghang sambit nito na nakatingin pa sakaniya.
what's the problem? "you look exactly like her." mas nag taka naman siya sa sinabi nito, sino ang tinutukoy niya? "who?" she asked him.
"someone i knew.."
ngumiti ito. "what's your name?"
"Cheshire Fierro, why do you ask?"
hindi ito sumagot. "I'm, Adam."
hindi parin talaga magawang mag sink in sa utak niya bakit tila interesado ang lalaking ito sakaniya?
bakit naman may magiging interesado sakaniya, she's just a woman who knows combat at how to fight yet she's just a simple and normal girl. basta huwag lang itong lalaking ito may gusto sakaniya o na-love at first sight sakaniya. no no and no, no thanks but she's contented with royve. just her roy.
"I'll go ahead.." aniya na lumakad ng mabilis papasok sa ospital, that man. is mysterious and he even told her that she look like her pero hindi niya alam kung sino ang her na tinutukoy ng lalake sakaniya, sino kaya yung her? sino naman ang kamukha niya, as if naman na meron. but that agent who keep stalking her says, she found her family.
she have no idea, all along? pero sino, sino ang kapatid niyang tinutukoy nito, sino at nasaan sila?
kailan, kailan niya sila nakilala? "Chesh? Fox?" tawag ni roy sakaniya ng makita siya nito na naglalakad at tila wala sa sarili, she admit it. wala nga siya sa sarili habang nag lalakad.
napansin siya nito. "are you okay?" tumango siya pero hindi naniwala si roy sa sinagot niya. "you are obviously not okay, fox." he said in gasped.
fine, he got me. "I had this stalker, he's a agent i use to work before and, he told me something. na nakita ko na daw ang kapatid ko, pero hindi niya naman sinabi kung sino, kailan ko nakita ang kapatid ko. I don't know, another thing this person hated how i care for you and to your family, that sucks roy. everyone hates you and your family, why?"
"because my father is a sinner?"
ngumiwi siya. "but you know that you're adopted?" pagiba nito ng usapan at pagtanong niya dito, hindi makapaniwala si roy na alam niya, alam niya ang background ng pagkataong hindi siya totoong fierro. but in the name of god, fierro did accepted her and creed treated her like a real sister, ganun rin naman sila oliver sakaniya. hindi nila ipinaramdam na iba siya, na wala sa dugo niya ang pagiging fierro.
they never make her feel that, she's a special for them and she's happy to be with this family.
"I was young and bullied that I'm adopted, bata palang ako, I didn't know what's the meaning of it until I ask my dad, he told me. hindi ako ampon, my parents just need to protect me and giving me another identity is the only option they have, dad said. my parents love me so much and they will do everything and sacrifice everything for me, that they didn't left me somewhere. they gave me to them to protect me, to make me safe from those people who meant to hurt and harm me for power and money."
ngumiti pa siya. "dad loves me and even spoiled me with things, but my duty was to protect people. sabi niya, I was like my dad who protect our country. It just different, I'm a agent and he's a captain."
"my dad never lied to me, and who my father was. malalaman ko rin kung sino and why they have to give me to them, what happened and what is it."
hinawakan ni roy ang kamay niya. "kahit na anong mangyari, nandito lang ako para sayo. okay? fox, I will stay with you whatever happened, I'll help you if I had to, I will do it as your boyfriend." ngiting sambit nito, she's very thankful to have this supportive man beside her. lalaking sumusuporta sa kaniya.
she hugged him, tight and warm. "I love you, roy." that's the word she want to say, pero hindi. hindi niya magawang sabihihin because she want to make sure about her own feelings that she felt it real. ayaw niyang masaktan si roy dahil sinabi niya yun sa puntong hindi naman siya ganun ka sigurado.
ayaw niyang may masaktan ng dahil sakaniya, hindi niya kakayanin and she will do make things with him, things maybe can make her figure out what she really feel for. gusto niya maipakita ang feelings na yun, yung totoo na walang halong pagiging peke. gusto niya maging totoo sa nararamdaman niya, and by that comes she is ready to love again.
he cupped her face. "don't think too much, darating rin naman yung araw na makikilala mo ang pamilya mo for now, just enjoy the day. with me, please fox?"
tumango siya. "Yes, enjoy the day with you.." anito at napangiwi naman siya sa sinabi na tila may ibanf ibig sabihin, does that mean another thing for him? well. "enjoy? does that have another meaning?"
"what?" tila ba nagiinosente ito sakaniya ngayon na nagtatanong, bumaling siya sa paligid na walang tao at agad na hinila si roy papunta sa kotse nito, what? she doesn't even care if they are caught by anyone. she just want him to be satisfy and enjoy, theirself.
