Sweet Lies 1: Smitten By Your Touch [COMPLETED]

Kabanata 34

Maggy's POV

Kinabukasan ay maga ang mata ko kakaiyak. Tinungo ko ang maleta at hinanap ang cellphone ko. Nangunot ang noo ko. Asan na yun?

Naiwan ko ata kila Seige. Dali dali akong naligo at pumunta ng mansyon nito. Pagkababa ko ng tricycle ay naabutan kong lumabas ang isang lalaki doon.

That man is kinda familiar. Natigilan ako saglit. No, that man is...

Nang makaalis ang lalaki sakay ang kotse nito ay walang ingay akong pumasok ng bahay ni Seige. Sumilip ako sa sala.

It was Ares and Seige, talking...

"D*mn, man. Akala ko ba nasa California yun? Bakit pa umuwi ng Pilipinas?"

"Don't know. Tsk, why does he need to come back?"

"C'mon, Seige. Maggy will be mad at you if she found out what you did—"

"Shut up, Ares."

What he did? What do you mean?

"Her father took his own life because of what you did." nanlaki ang mga mata ko. No...

"That why I stopped. I didn't expect Mayor Martini to do that."

Napaatras ako. Walang ingay akong lumabas ng mansyon. Naalala ko ang sinabi ni Mommy...

Agad akong pumunta ng Deuxx Hotel. Pinindot ko ang second floor. I gulped. The truth.. I need to find out.

"You came." bungad sa akin ni Mommy pagkabukas nito ng pinto.

"Tell me. Anong ibig mong sabihin ng sinabi mong dapat kong layuan si Seige?"

"Pumasok ka muna. Sasabihin ko sayo."

Umupo ako sa sofa. Pumwesto naman sya sa harap ko at sumimsim ng kape.

"Two years ago, my boyfriend and I separated. I asked your Dad for help but he refused. But, you see, we are still married. I am still a Dela Fuente. One day, a man in his 30's approached me. Franco Esteban." nahigit ko ang hininga ko. The man that I saw coming out of Seige's house.

"He told me he's a businessman. He told me he can let me be on top again. Naniwala ako. I gave him millions, almost billions. Nangutang ako gamit ang pangalan ng Daddy mo. I knew I did something horrible. But, my greed continued. Then, suddenly, it fell apart. He scammed me. Took away the money. And you know what I found out? He's secretly meeting with that Demitri." naikuyom ko ang kamao ko.

"Esteban was also the brother of the politician who defeated your Dad. Demitri planned it all, Maggy." napatakip ako ng mukha at umiyak.

So, he did all of that. Naalala ko ang sinabi nya noon. Yes, we messed at him. This what we got, huh? Suddenly, naalala ko si Dad. His smiles... his rants about me...

"Hey, Maggy. We will get back at him—"

"Stop. I only came here to find out the truth. I don't want anything to do with you." tumayo ako. Bago ako umalis ay nilingon ko sya.

"Bago ako pumunta dito, tinawagan ko rin ang mga taong pinag utangan mo. I told them you were here." binuksan ko ang pinto at umalis na. Pinahid ko ang mga luha sa mga mata ko.

Umiiyak ako sa loob ng tricycle. Ibinigay ko ang bayad ko at natigilan dahil may pulang Ferrari ang nakaparada sa tapat ng bahay ko.

"Hera, what are you doing here?" lumingon ito sa akin at ngumiti.

"Seige told me that you left. Why?"

"I just did..."

"Pano yung mga utang mo? How can you pay 80 million?"

Umiling lang ako. Hindi ko alam. Mom is already here, mukhang sa kanya na mapupunta ang lahat. She was the one who borrowed money at the first place. Isa pa, ayoko nang makita pa si Seige. Galit ang nararamdaman ko sa kanya.

"I am sorry, Hera but I... I really have no energy right now, I feel so tired—"

"Pinagod ka ba ni Seige?" nag iba ang ang anyo ng mukha nito. Agad bumangon ang kaba sa dibdib ko.

"Hera..."

"How can you do that to me?"

"Hera... I just— Let me explain, hindi ko sinasadya—"

"You were the woman back in Sitio Juan, right? Tell me, is it fun to play with me? Porket hindi ko alam ang pangalan ng babaeng naging girlfriend ni Seige two years ago. Is it fun? Tell me, Maggy."

"Hera, I—"

"Did he satisfied you? Is he that amazing on bed?"
