The Last Piece I : Call of the Past

CHAPTER 36

The three of them was just watching me as I told them the story. Their faces was serious as ever.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganyan ang reaction nila? and I can't hide the feeling that may tinatago sila sa akin. I'm usually the person who feels something not nice, awkward and any other.  Mararamdaman ko yun by just how would they react and merely looking at them.

And as what Nicholai said to me before, my six sense was super strong. Base on their reaction para nga may tinatago sila.

Alijah once told me the truth pero naniwala ako. I can't even believe after I heard those. But still I trust them. Among all the people that I know sila din ang pinagkatiwalaan ko. I don't even know why I'm doubting them. Pero dahil lang siguro noon ky Alijah.

I knew them for a long time now. We are one for all and the opposite. We will never hide secrets to each other. Dala na din siguro sa ibang nararamadaman ko, na tilang my bumabalik sa akin.

"Hey okay lang ba kayo?" basag ko sa katahimikan namin. We were done eating. Kaya ay nag chichikahan na lang kami. Bumawi na din sila sa gulat.

"Talaga? sino ang bata sa panaginip mo?" Tanong ni Amanda. His face was still so serious. He looks at me intently. He look at me na parang pati kaluluwa ko ay makita niya.

"Hindi ko siya kilala. Like I said her face is blurry kahit na kay Gideon pa. No name was mentioned except for Gideon's name. And the Santiagos. Kalaban ng pamilya namin." I said. At mapakyang tumawa.

"How Ironic isn't it. My parents will never allow me to go with those mafia rivals kaya hindi ko batid kung bakit may sinabi silang Santiago. Ni hindi nga clear ang pagmumukha nila. And kilala pa nga nang bata si Gideon eh" I said to them. Parang nabuhusan sila ng malamig na tubig as they look at me. They are acting strange.

"May tinatago ba kayo sakin?" I asked them. Mas lalo silang nagulat at pati ako. I didn't mean to asked a question but it slipped off my mouth.

"Oh love, matagal na tayong magkakilala what made you think na my tinatago kami sayo?" sagot ni Amanda at lumawak na ngumiti sakin. Somehow I felt relief. I just smiled at him sweetly.

"Well, you're right!"

I excuse myself sa kanila coz' I was going to the bathroom sa may isang restaurant. I was looking at the ground, Nang malapit na ako doon ay may nabundol akong babae.

"I'm sorry" I uttered to her.

Nang tinignan ko siya ay parang may naramdaman akong kakaiba. I look at her intently. She's not that old maybe she's in her 40's not sure but she looks young kasi, and she wears eye glasses, At parang kakilala ko siya pero hindi ko lang maalala, parang may kamukha siya kaso hindi ko lang alam kung saan ko nakita. Nang nabundol kami ay nahawakan namin ang kamay naming isa't isa. Nagulat siya sakin.

"Samantha,"  She whispered as she was shock to see and knew who I was.

But I was sure that it was my name she whispered. Ngunit hinayaan ko lang kahit nagtataka ako at gusto ko siyang tanongin kong sino siya at saan kami nag kita noon, at bakit niya ako kilala.

"I'm so sorry dear" sabi pa niya and smiled.

I smiled at her at tatanong sana nang my narinig akong pamilyar na boses. She looked at that voice's direction.

I look from behind at bumitaw sa pagkahawak ng babae. Nang matanaw ko ang papalapit na si Kyler. Gulat din ang expresyon nito but he wasn't looking at me ngunit sa babae sa likod ko. I didn't even turned back.

"Samantha! saan ka pupunta? they said we will play beach volleyball umalis na sila at bumalik na sa cottage natin. So I decided na ako ang tatawag sayo. Saan ka ba pupunta?" tanong niya.
