PLUNDERER CHIC (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER FORTY

"Where are we going daddy?" I asked dad na naka-akay sa akin.

"We're going to meet your uncle." Nakangiting sagot ni dad sa akin.

"Really? Is he also handsome like you?" I innocently asked which made dad chuckled and nod.

"Of course." He answered with a fine smile in his lips, habang patuloy siyang nag lalakad.

"Kuya!"  Dad said with a joyous tone.
"Salvin." Nagagalak na salubong rin sa amin ng isang lalaking halos ka-edad lang ni dad.

"Oh hi Elsh~" Nakangiti nitong bati sa akin.

"This is you uncle Sander, say hello sweetheart." Dad said to me and I just nodded.

"Hello, uncle." I said and giving him a wide and pretty smile, Hindi naman nawala ang ngiti niya.

Naalimpungatan ako dahil sa sunod sunod na katok na narinig ko mula sa pinto.  Nakatulog pala ako, wala ng araw, madilim na sa labas, anong oras na kaya.

Narinig ko ang pagbukas ng pinto kaya bumangon ako mula sa pagkakahiga at umayos ng upo.

"Shein, I brought you a food, kumain ka muna." Naramdaman ko siyang lumapit sa akin na may dalang paper bags. I glance at him and he look at me with a lonely eyes kaya napa-iwas agad ako ng tingin.

"Paps and the others are worried... Here, I'll leave these foods here." Aniya habang inilalagay ang mga dala niya sa table na nasa tabi higaan ko. Hindi ako umimik at ganon din naman siya habang inaayos ang mga dala.

"Eat and drink your medicine after. I'll just be in paps room." Mahinang sabi niya at dahan dahang tumalikod at naglakad patungo sa may pintoan.

"Clayd..." I mumbled enough lang para marinig niya which made him stop.

"Who am I?" Words aren't intended, came out from my mouth. Then the images I saw earlier and when I was asleep played inside my head.

"Why am I so clueless..." I mumbled again and glance at him.

"Am I not allowed to remember my past?... My family?" I uttered those words with a incomprehensible tone that his expression gentle as if he understand what I feel.

"Shein..." He gently mumbled my name at unti-unting naglakad palapit sa akin.

"I hate myself... I forgot my father, my mother, how could I." Mahinang sabi ko at umiwas ng tingin that made him stopped.

"Shein, don't say that—"

"Shut up." Inis na sabi ko at tumingin sa kaniya ng matalim dahilan para matigilan siya.

"You don't know what I feel. You hide everything from me! And I am a fucking damn clueless bitch, who doesn't even know what happened back then." Sunod sunod kong sabi habang tinitingnan siya ng malamig.

He didn't move nor make a word, animo'y hindi niya alam kung ano ang sasabihin o gagawin. He was just gently staring at me, at mas lalo akong naiinis dahil sa expression na pinapakita niya kaya umiwas ulit ako ng tingin.

"Sorry..." Tanging lumabas lang sa bibig niya kaya napasulyap ako sa kaniya and saw how he just look at the bed, avoiding my gaze.

"Just what the hell happened, Clayd." Malumanay ngunit may kaunting inis na sabi ko dahilan para tumingin ulit siya sa akin.

"You almost died, Shein." My eyes widened and curiosity embrace my thoughts dahil sa sinabi ni Clayd.

I... I almost die...
