Mistakes From The Past

Chapter 27

Avenida Heights

Lyndon's Condo Unit

"AMANDA!" I am busy surfing on a internet when I heard Lyndon's agitated voice calling out for me.

"What in the world are you shouting for Lyndon?!" I almost jump from my seat kaya naiinis na sinigawan ko ito. But he seems preoccupied because he walked pass me and start running to our room.

I shook my head in disbelief and rolled my eyes bago muling ipinagpatuloy ang pag-surf sa facebook.

"Amanda what are you still dozing off like that?!" akala ko ay okay na abalang-abala na ako sa pag-swipe sa fb ng muli kong marinig ang galit na boses ni Lyndon.

"Why are you so agitated, did something happened?" I knitted my eyebrow and ask curiously.

"They know." two words I can't believe only two words can me feel so afraid and terrified.

"What? How?" I felt my stomach churning because of the sudden news.

"I don't know!" he exclaimed while facing back and forth. "But we need to go because we're facing charges if we don't." after saying those words he just pulled me towards our room and force me to pack my things. "Pack your things now."

"No! I'm not gonna pack my things." matigas na ani ko at saka humiga sa kama.

"Don't be so hard headed and start packing!" singhal nito. Sinamaan ko ito ng tingin pero paisa-isa kong tinupi yung mga damit ko na inilabas nito mula sa drawer.

"I'm sorry hun, but we really need to go because I don't want something bad to happen to you." I can see sadness and love in his eyes. I heave a deep sigh and peck a kiss on his lips.

"I really don't want to go because I haven't gotten any of his wealth but if leaving makes you at ease then we will go today." he seems satisfied to my answer dahil sa pinakawalan nitong malalim na paghinga.

"I love you hun." ani nito at humiga sa kama bago pumikit habang ako naman ay ipinagpatuloy ang ginagawang pag-eempake.

"Babalik tayo I promise you and we will take our revenge." Revenge? Napaisip ako sa sinabi ni Lyndon at isa lang ang pumasok sa isip ko. Maghihiganti ako at maghihirap si Christelle dahil sa ginawa niyang pang-aagaw sa asawa ko.

As soon as I finish packing nilisan namin ang lugar na naging tahanan ko nadin. I am not a person who treasure things but this house became my comfort at itong bahay din na ito ang nagsilbing tagpuan namin ni Lyndon sa tuwing kailangan namin ang isa't-isa.

"You sleep first and I will wake you up when we get there." ani ni Lyndon habang binabagtas namin ang kahabaan ng manila.

"Where are we going?" i ask curiously pero kagaya kanina ay ngiti lang ang isinagot nito kaya naman instead of bugging him I just close my eyes and let the darkness consumes me.

Avenida Heights

Roberto Point of View

"They're gone." Lucas announced after we finish searching Lyndon's Unit.

Gusto kong manuntok pagkarinig sa sinabi ni Lucas. Amanda and Lyndon took off without paying for my son's death.

"Let's go home man." Lucas hold my shoulder and ask me to leave the place but I shrug his hands off.

"You go first, I am not gonna let them get away with what they did to my son." I said and keeps on searching for clue but Lucas holds me again this time it was tighter.

"We will find them using our connections but first we need to go home because I'm pretty sure Christelle is worried sick." Upon hearing what Lucas said I suddenly felt calm and excited to get home.

"Let's go!" I said at ako na mismo ang naghila dito palabas ng unit ni Lyndon pero bago ako lumabas ng unit ay iginala ko muna ang paningin ko sa kabuuan ng lugar and said an oath.I am going to find the two of you I am for sure of that.

On the way home nakatanggap ako ng tawag mula sa taong hindi ko inaasahan.

"Hello there my dearest husband!" Puno ng pang-aasar na bungad nito pagkasagot ko sa tawag nito.

Bago ako magsalita ay kinonekta ko ito sa bluetooth ng sasakyan ko at saka ko ito ni-loudspeaker. "What the hell do you want?!" Galit na sigaw ko dito pero nakakairitang tawa ang isinukli nito sa'kin. "BWAHAHAHA."

"My, my, Roberto always impatient aren't we?" Amusement is evident in her voice.

"Oh shut up Amanda I hate your voice!" Lucas butt in.

"Oh my Lucas?" Amanda fake a gasp. "You know for awhile I thought we can be together." She started

"Together? Don't make me laugh." Lucas rolled his eyes.

"What so great about Christelle? Why do you have to treasure her so much eh she's just a weakling and a slut." Puno ng pang-iinsultong ani nito.

Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko kusa ng kumawala ang galit na pinipigilan ko. "Damn you Amanda you're the slut and weak not her."

"Slut? Yes I am a slut because you don't care about me all you think about is Christelle and Christelle alone. I should have killed her like what I did to your son, so you could get her out of your system!" Damang dama ko ang galit nito pero hindi ko ma-alis ang guilt na nararamdaman ko dahil alam kong responsable ako sa nararamdaman nito ngayon.

"We're going to find you I'll make sure of that and we will make you pay for what you did." Lucas lose all his composure because of what he heard. Who wouldn't? I would've said the same thing naunahan niya lang ako.

"Find me? Ha, you don't have to do that because we're coming for you!" And just like that the line went dead.

I heaved a deep sigh. I felt so tired just by talking to her.

"You alright?" Lucas ask and I found myself asking the same thing. Am I alright?

"I'm sorry man it's my fault kaya tayo nandito ngayon." I sincerely apologize.

"It's not your fault man it's Amanda and Lyndon's. So don't carry the guilt that you're not supposed to carry." He assured me but I can't help myself.

The travel to Nueva Ecija is short but tiring the whole talking to Amanda drained my energy. The whole trip I was looking out on the window thinking on how to capture Amanda and Lyndon.

"Man you shouldn't worry too much. Kapag nakita ka ni Christelle na ganyan ay siguradong mag-aalala siya at baka lumayo siya sayo maging maayos lang ang lahat." What Lucas said is true and that's the thing I most feared. Christelle is so selfless that she always think the happiness of other than hers.

"Yes I know that."
