CHAPTER 33
SHE DOESN'T need anything, ang gusto lang naman niya magkaroon ng buo at masaganang buhay kasama ang pamilya niya, Somerhalder was her family and what she wanted is to be a sister to her brothers na hindi alam na may isa pa silang kapatid na babae, gusto niya lang maging kapatid kay Prometheus at ang tamging gusto niya ay makasama sila ni Theo, na maging buo ang pamilya nila things will not happened if She's the reason why they're all in danger. kasalanan at kasalanan niya bakit napapahamak ang kapatid niya, kasalanan niya at hindi yun maalis sakaniya hangga't nasa paligid si Richard. that motherfucker did this to him.
"Cheshire." lumingon siya at yumakap ng mahigpit kay Roy, naroon sila. Penelope was in disguise at hinahagod ang likuran niya, she was just keep crying when Theo came with Bruce and Selina. she keep crying when Robbie came along.
she was crying to him, "I.. I can't, Roy. I can't lose a brother. h-hindi ko kaya if mawawala si kuya, r..roy, this is all my fault." kaniyang pagsisi sa sarili. she really doesn't care about its word anymore. what she care is, her brother to be safe. wala na siyang pakielam if tinawag niyang kuya si prometheus na umiiyak siya dahil sinisisi niyang napahamak ang kuya niya at umiiyak siya sa bisig ng kasintahan.
and she doesn't care about her own words.
"this is not your fault, Cheshire. Okay? wala kang kasalanan, kaya wag mo sisisihin ang sarili mo, he didn't like it when you blame yourself, Prometheus will fight for his life. hush, fox okay? come here."
yumakap lang siya kay Roy, inantay nila na matapos ang operasyon ni Prometheus but when the doctor came out, inasahan nila magiging maayos na ang lagay ni Prometheus, but not. Prometheu needs a blood dahil maraming dugo ang nawala sa kapatid niya and they need a relative donor na ka-match ni Proemtheus and she insist to give a blood for a rare blood type na parehas sila ni Prometheus.
"the patient lose a lot of blood and his relative could donor for his blood transfusion. kailangan niya kasi ng dugo na kapareha ng rare blood type niya, anyone related to him could go and donate. are you Dr. Somerhalder same blood with your twin?"
umiling ito, "I'm A positive."
either Freya and Robbie can't.
bumuntong hininga siya at tumayo, "I will. I have the same blood type with Prometheus, ako nalang ang magdodonate, he's dying because of me." tumingin ang doktor bago ito nagtanong sakaniya. "and are you related with the patient?" he asked her.
whatever she say, "Yes. I'm her little sister." tumango ang doktor at tinuro sakaniya saan siya pwede mag donate and she was standing there when the doctor came to look at prometheus, "Little Sister?" si theo.
"We don't have another siblings aside of Penelope, kaya anong sinasabi mong little sister. are you crazy? nababaliw na ba yang fiance mo, roy? kung ano ano na ang sinasabi niya! she can't be our sister lalo na she is not penelope somerhalder. never."
tumingin siya sa kapatid na walang imik, but someone did answer that for him.
Penelope, "Of course she's not me, Kuya. I am Penelope and She is Cheshire, I'm Freya and she's Jade. both Somerhalder, she was hidden for safety. far from us because someone wanted to took her kaya wala kayong alam na nabubuhay ang isa niyo pang kapatid, Cheshire Jade Somerhalder. she's your another little sister." tulala si theo sakaniya.
"p..p..penelope?" hindi makapaniwala at ngumiti lang ang kakambal niya sa kapatid nilang nakatulala. "Hello, Kuya. long time no see."
napailing siya, "P, samahan mo ako." hinila niya si Penelope papunta sa kung saan siya pwede magdonate and she was talking to her nicely, gusto niya malaman bakit niya ginawa 'yon? "I can't take it for long, I want to reveal now. napahamak na si kuya. J, pasensya na. I just want to protect theo when I came here but they fooled us. they shoot my other brother." malungkot na pahayag nito.
"so they said that they will come for theo but they attacked kuya prome behind? I can't believe that."
"Okay na, ma'am."
ngumiti siya sa nurse at tinulungan siya ni Penelope na makatayo at makapaglakad papunta sa kwarto ng kapatid, nailipat na agad sa V.I.P si Prometheus, they want to put and place Prometheus in private. para maayos itong makapag-pahinga. he lost a blood and he needs plenty of rest, for a while.
hindi pa ito magiging malakas kapag nagising, "so you're like, my sister now? ang awkward." ngumisi silang parehas ni Penelope, "that's awkward to think, you drugged your own sister for your bestfriend to take me in what? heaven? or hell?" kibit balikat nito.
"you know I am so sorry about—" she kicked him so as he, parehas nilang tinuhod si Theo kaya napa-aray nalang ito sa sakit, they just laugh. "jackass."
he's really hurt. "Jesus Christ! okay na ako sa isa bakit nadagdagan pa yung babayag sakin? pag ako nabaog kasalanan niyong dalawa 'to! I'm telling you gusto ko pa magkaroon ng asawa at anak!" he yelled, "paano? lahat ng babae sinasaktan mo. pagka-tapos mong tikman iiwan mo, sige nga paano ka magkakaroon ng asawa at anak sa lagay na yan? malala ka na kuya so, accept it. hindi ka pwede dumami kawawa ang mga babae sa magiging lahi mo! gumaya ka kaya kay Kuya Prome?!"
"what? never tamed? jesus, ayoko nga." sumama tingin nila at parehas kinotongan si Theo, "kanina pa kayo nananakit, ano ba talaga problema niyo saking dalawa? masakit na ah, nananakit talaga kayo e."
reklamong boses nito, "Whatever, Kuya." kumapit siya kay Penelope na maglakad papunta kay Roy na nakangiti na humalik sakaniya, "Are you okay?"
"I'm okay now.."
"bytheway, this is Robbie. he's my half brother, anak siya ng Tito Pendelton mo. First Child, actually."
ngumiti siya na makilala at makita ang features ng pagiging somerhalder nito, he is really a somerhalder dahil kamukha nito ang tito niya.
NAILIPAT na si prometheus sa pribadong kwarto nito kung nasaan sila at siya naman nasa labas, she went to the chapel to pray for her brother. hanggang ngayon puno parin siya ng pag a-alala sa kapatid niya, Penelope went to chapel with her pero bumalik ito agad sa kwarto while she stayed in chapel. she want to have a moment, talking to jesus and making a thankful na naligtas sa kapahamakan ang kapatid and she will keep blaming herself for what happepend to him dahil yun ang paniniwala niya na that was her fault why he get shot. maybe if hindi nalang siya pumayag na lumabas, he will not end up here. maybe? pero hindi niya na naisip na mangyayari iyon, things always happened.
unexpectedly. hindi niya rin naman inaasahan na mangyayari ito, lahat ng ito. no one knows na maari palang mangyari ang lahat, if she knew that Richard has a plan like this? hindi siya sasama she will think of his safety first before that forgiving and bond thing. pero wala naman silang alam, richard planned this. planned to trick roy with a wrong detail. even penelope, akala ng kambal niya richard will come for theo but he didn't instead, prometheus.
pinaikot sila sa mga salita nito.
napatingin nalang siya sa tumabi sakaniya, "you can talk to me, if you have some problem." ngumiti siya at ihiniga ang ulo sa balikat nito ramdam niya nalang ang palad ni Roy na humahawak sa balikat niya.
"I don't, It just.."
"I can't stop blaming myself, kasalanan ko nga siguro talaga bakit 'to ngyayari since the moment I came, this all mess up. maybe bec-"
pinutol siya agad ni Roy, "No! ano ka ba naman? huwag mo masyado sisihin ang sarili mo. wala kang kasalanan, he just planned this well. alam niya ang kilos ni Prometheus at ni Theo, plano niya lahat ng ito and solving this crime.. somehow, Somerhalder's home is Bugged." aniya.
kumunot ang noo niya sa huling salita na kaniyang sinabi, "Bugged?" she asked. "Yeah, bugged."
bumuntong hininga pa ito, "Alam niya ang bawat kilos at galaw ni Prometheus at Theo, kaya pakiramdam ko bugged ang bahay niyo, ng somerhalder. I don't know how will I remove it one by one. there is a lot inside of that house. Kailangan maalis lahat ng iyon bago pa nila malaman ang mga plano at malaman na buhay ka, jesus. I can't lose you. mababaliw ako.. sobra sobra na ang naramdaman ko ng halos mawala ka. what's worse if i lose you again? I am going to be hell'a crazy."
inalis niya ang kamay ni Roy sakaniya at tinignan ito na tila may tinitignan siya. "hindi ka pa ba baliw sa lagay na yan?" she asked and chuckled, humaplos naman si roy sa binti niya at umangat sa baywang niya. nakaramdam siya ng kuryente sa haplos at paghawak na ginagawa nito sakaniya.
"nasa chapel tayo." paalala niya agad nagkibit balikat lang siya. "so? we had sex in chapel already." paalala naman nito sakaniya at napatakip nalang siya ng mukha dahil sa pinaalala nito sakaniya. ayaw niya na talaga na maalala ang bagay na iyon, remembering they make out in capel.
that's embarrassing! "Roy.." sita niya.
he just laugh, "but seriously baby." haplos nito sa kamay niya na minamasahe pa siya at hinalikan bago pagkatitigan ito sa kaniyang mga mata. that precious eyes, "after all of this? pakakasalan kita."
"I promise, ihaharap kita sa altar habang nakasuot ka ng gusto mong wedding gown. Ihaharap kita sa diyos para maging opisyal ka ng matawag na akin, na wala ng kahit na sino ang kukuha sayo mula sakin. I promise tell I die, I will be with you just make me fix and finish this.. just let me finish all of this."
umiling siya at hinawakan ang kamay nito. "Don't say Die, paano tayo ikakasal kung wala ka na? just make it up with me, I'm waiting for you. hihintayin kita, Roy na mayatapos ang lahat para magpakasal na tayo. I want to make love and creat a family with you. I want to be a Mrs. Wilson, I want to your family call as my family too. I want Wilson and Somerhalder called family be together too. I want that.. I want you to be mine too, can you do that?"
"Yes, I can do that.."
humiga ang ulo niya sa balikat nito muli, "I love you, kaya kung may mangyari sakin sa ginagawa kong ito para sayo. remember, I did it for you. para sayo, sayo ko lang ginawa ang lahat ng ito and If saving you means taking risk? I will make things right, because all what I wanted is you to have your life."
"I love you, and they will not take you from me. If they will take you from me? I will kill them, one by one. sinisiguro kong gagawin kong impyerno ang buhay nila, I will not stop until I get what I want from them. They can't get you from me, you're the one I have. I can't lose you too, Roy. stay with me.."
he kisses her forehead, "I will stay with you, fox. I will not going to leave you again, okay? I love you."
"MOM, THAT TWO IS BULLYING ME!"
dumating ang ina nila kaya naman todo kung mag sumbong si Theo tungkol sa ginawa nila sa pambu-bully nila sa kuya nila, hindi naman ito pinanigan ng kanilang ina dahil alam nito kung bakit nila binubully si theo at natatawa nalang sila tuwing nagaasal baby si Theo sa kanilang ina, nakakatawa kasi ang itsura nitong akala mong hindi lagpas sa kalendaryo ang edad kung umasta. he's funny anyways.
yumakap sakaniya ang ina, "I am happy that you're finally home and, thank god you and prometheus had same blood type. mahirap mag hanap ng Rh positive sa pilipinas ngayon, good thing.."
"Ma, are you aware that I'm getting married?" tanong niya sa ina, hindi niya alam kung alam ba nitong ikakasal siya. "Pakakasalan ka ni roy? that's crazy."
agad niyang sinamaan ng tingin ang kapatid na tila hindi pa sang ayon na ang kaibigan nito ay mag papakasal lang naman sakaniya. such a bully!
"unlike you until today, haven't find any girl that will take serious and unlike you, I have dreams to have a baby and to call him as my husband at hindi tulad mo, maglalagay ng drugs sa inumin para lang ipilit ang salitang sex. uhm, that's awful even for you."
"boom."
yumakap lang sakaniya si roy, "stop bullying your father he's not gonna stop until we won. okay?" mahina siyang tumawa, then felt her tummy in anger. "can you buy me a food? I'm so hungry."
"of course para makakain narin sila, I'll buy some food." humalik lang ito sakaniya at tska lumabas sinama nito si Theo para wala na daw istorbong bully ng bully sa kapatid, Selina and Bruce was still here hanggang sa magising nalang si Prometheus.
he woke up and she's there, "c..cheshire?" tawag nito sakaniya at nakangiti naman niyang binati ng yakap at halik ang kaniyang kapatid, she was so worried. "Kuya?" that's penelope and nakita nila ang luha na pumatak sa mga mata nito habang nakatingin sa kapatid na si Penelope. he's crying?
"P-penelope.. y-you're alive.." humaplos pa ito sa pisngi ng kasintahan at nakangiti lang sa isa't isa. she stayed watching them pero bigla nalang siya hinawakan ni Penelope, "Kuya, this is Cheshire. you know her right? uhm, She's.. she's my twin sister."
he frowned, "What?" parehas silang napasinghap ni Penelope at tumingin kay Prometheus, "maybe mom could explain everything to you. she had the story."
"She's hidden, because her life was quite danger. nung ipinanganak ko siya there's a lot of threats so hiding her was the only option I and Sibal had. she, she was raised in U.S kasama si Ronnie at Carla. It wasn't mine when I lost her, pero kailangan talaga mag saktipisyo para sa mga anak mo. I will. when I'm bearing you and Theo, the doctor says I'm taking a big risk dahil I could die after your birth."
nakangiti lang siya kanina bago niya maramdaman na nahihilo siya held the table on the side of his bed para hindi siya matumba but hilong hilo talaga siya and she's like going to vomit, naalala niya nalang na nasa ospital pala siya so she called but to notice her own actions, she eat a lot and she always ask for foods ngayon lang niya narealize lahat she even ate blueberry kahit hindi naman siya kumakain nito, then she craves with other asian foods. ice cream, lagi siyang naghahanap ng ice cream. then this, she felt so dizzy and her headache she felt vomiting. it's few signs that selina noticed to her, si selina lang ang nakapansin ng bagay na iyon maybe because boys doesn't know all about it so kaya hindi nila alam.
"Hey people!" si Theo bitbit ang pagkain na binili nila pero napansin niya agad ang wala si roy, wala itong kasama na bitbit ang pagkain. where is he? "he's outside, talking to someone on the phone.." aniya.
she gasped, atlease alam niyang hindi naman ito napahamak o mapapahamak. turulungan sana niya sila na mag ayos ng pagkain ngunit napansin niya ang isang papel na nakaipit sa gilid, sa table. hindi niya alam kung saan galing 'yon, kung kanino nga ba galing ang pepel na iyon, no one came inside.
sila lang naman ang tao sa kwarto, titignan niya sana but theo grab it nakita nito ang hawak niya, nirolyo niya nalang ang mata na para bang may alam ito sa morse code if you know theo you'll know na wala siyang totally na alam sa code code na yan.
"Richard Hill sent this? that bitch?" inabot nito iyon sa kapatid na nakahiga sa kaniyang kama but he gave it back to her. so she just look up at the paper to read what's inside of it, alam niya ang nakalagay.
Y— • — — O— — — U• • — D— • • I• • E•
"what it says? do you know?" tanong ng kapatid niya, tumango siya ng maharan kung ano iyon and when they found what is it, "Kuya, this message is for you and theo. darating sila para gawin ang nais nila sainyo, kay mommy. we can't let it happened."
kumuyom ang kamao niya, "and how will we do that, exacly tell me how will we? killing a mafia with bunch of armies. that's an idiot idea, Cheshire. ano naman ang magagawa natin to stop that asshole?!"
"grab a katana, stab it through his heart until he dies? but no, I already quit that job so hindi ko gagawin ang ganuong bagay. even he deserve it."
malalim ang kaniyang buntong hininga na nagiisip, If she can't do that anymore ano pa ba ang magagawa nila? putting him in jail is so easy. but that's law. but they don't do orders from law, they will do what it takes. do they? napailing siya sa kaiisip niya.
"of course you will do that, as my orders." It's familiar voice na bigla nalang nagsalita mula sa pintuan.
when she heard that voice, napatayo nalang siya at tinignan kung sino ang naroon. a man, long haired man standing and smirking infront of her.
What the? "Mr. V?"
