Villanueva Series #2: Love's Fatal Twist

CHAPTER 40

"Ah, caleb. Gusto ko muna mapag-isa, ‘wag ka mag alala, hindi ako gagawa nang katàngahan" Natatawang saad ko. Ngumiti naman ito, niyakap ako nito nang mahigpit.

"Just let me drive you, kahit ‘yon lang"

"I don't need you to drive me" I said softly, "I'm capable of driving myself"

"Let me drive you" He insisted

"Oo na sige na" Ngising saad ko, hindi talaga mag papatalo. He took my hand and opened the car before waiting for me. Once I got in, he came around and sat in the driver's seat.

"Where to?" He asked, his voice still sounding soft and gentle but also with a hint of determination.

"Dad mansion."

He nodded his head and started the engine, and we were off to the mansion. The drive was quiet, as he focused on the road ahead of him.

After a few hours we finally arrived at the mansion. It was huge and majestic, but it seemed to be empty and eerily quiet.

"Are you sure you want to go in there?" He asked me, his voice now sounding more concerned.

"Oo naman" Nauna siya na lumabas nang sasakyan, pinag buksan ako nito at inalalayan.

"Sige na, okay na ako dito" Saad ko
He nodded his head, showing he understood. He let go of my hand.

"Su-sunduin kita mamaya" He said, his tone sound a little nervous now.

"Yes po, sige na"

"Calista!" Sigaw muli niya bago ako pumasok sa loob.

"Bakit?"

C- Can I.. can I hug you?

Natawa naman ako bago tumango sa kaniya.

Mabilis itong tumakbo palapit sakin and gently holds me, wrapping his arms around me. As he holds me in his embrace, his body is warm and comforting. He held me tight, like he was afraid of losing me.

"Grabe ah, parang hindi na ako ba-balik, miss mo agad ako?"

He held me tighter, not letting me go as he smiled gently at me. "How can I not miss you? You are my whole world" He replies, his voice sounding more sincere.

"Naks naman!"

"I love you" He said, his voice sounding very passionate and sincere.

"Ito naman nag papaiyak pa"

Hinigpitan niya ang pagkakayakap sa akin. Nararamdaman ko ang kaniyang puso na kumakabog nang mabilis, nararamdaman ko rin ang init ng kaniyang katawan. Hindi ko na mapigilan ngunit maiyak.

Pinunasan nito ang luha ko.

"Sige nanga bye" Sambit ko

He holds me for a while longer, not wanting to let go yet. But eventually he does let me go as he smiles gently at me.

"I'll come get you later" He says, his smile slightly sad. Tumango ka agad ako

"O-One more thing, Calista"

"What?"

He clears his throat, seeming a little nervous now. "Can I um.. can I kis--"

Hindi ko na tinapos ang sasabihin niya 'dahil ako na mismo ang humàlik sa kaniya. His lips were soft and warm against mine, and I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach. As our lips met, I felt a jolt of electricity pass through our bodies. It was like all the electricity in the world was passing through us, and I felt a spark of desire and excitement coursing through me.

Bumitaw ako sa pag kaka-hàlik sa kaniya at agad na tumakbo pa-pasok, "Bye!" Malakas na sigaw ko

He stared at me in shock and disbelief for a few seconds, not believing that I just ran away from him.

"Calista, wait!" He yelled after me, but I just kept running.

Natatawa ako nang makapasok sa mansion, napansin ko ang malaking picture frame namin.

Sumandal muna ako sa sopa namin, napansin ko rin ang ibang katulong na nag a-ayos nang mga gamit nila dad.

May kung ano akong napansin na hindi ko naman nakikita noon, 'dahil hindi naman mahilig mag tago o mag imbak si daddy nang mga lumang gamit.

"Ah, manang ano 'yan?"

"Gamit po ito nang daddy niyo, pati na rin po ni ma'am Vivianne"

"Ano laman nang box?"

"Hindi ko po alam, nakita ko lang po 'yan sa budega. Hind ko nga po alam bakit nasa bodega yung gamit ni sir Albert."

"Ako na po ang bahala sa gamit ni dad, paki-lagay nalang po 'yung gamit ni mommy sa kwarto niya" Saad ko.

"Manang paki kuha nang gunting" Saad ko agad, gusto ko buksan 'yung box.

Inabot naman niya sakin ka-agad, "Masyado atang protektado 'yung box" Sabat niya naman.

Binuksan ko 'yung box at, wala namang ka-kaiba sa loob. Puro papeles lang naman ito.

Tinignan ko isa-isa halo-halo ang mga papeles may mga documents about company may iba certificate din, at may awards. Pero sa isang papeles sa pinaka dulo may brown envelope.

Kinuha ko agad iyon, 'dahil sobrang plakado nang pag kakadikit. Kapag ginunting ko ay baka ma-gupit ko ang nasa kaloob-looban.

Dahan-dahan kong binubuksan 'yung lumang envelope, pag bukas ko ay may nakita akong dokumento sa sobrang luma ay hindi na gaanong makita. "Bakit may DNA result ang daddy?" Nag tinginan kami ni manang. Binasa ko ito mula umpisa ang ibang letra ay hindi ko na masyadong makita dahil sa napaka luma na nito. "2005 DNA RESULT" banggit ko

"Albert Oronable Harrison, Ajiana Lauren Alvarado, 99.99% ano 'to?" Tinignan ko muli kung tama ang pag kaka-basa ko, halos malukot ko na ang DNA result, sa isang envelope sinubukan kong tignan muli kung may iba pang papeles.

"Calista Azalea Harrison, Ajiana lauren Alvarado 99.99%" Halos mamugto ang mga mata ko.

"Pano nangyari?" Nanginginig na ang mga kamay ko.

"Fúck you! Daddy! Kahit sumakabilang buhay kana, nakuha mo pang mag anak sa iba napaka hàyop mo!" Malakas na sigaw ko

"Napaka baboy mo talaga!"

Tumayo at kinuha ang malaking flowers vase ini-hagis ko iyon sa malaking picture frame namin ni Daddy.

"Sinusumpa kita!" Malakas na sigaw ko, nag labasan ang ibang katulong sa ginawa ko.

"Kaibigan ko pa?!"

"You are the most wórthless father, if I given a chance to live again, I would rather wish na huwag nang mabuhay than to be part of your family." Malakas kong sigaw

Pinag babasag ko ang picture niya at inihagis sa labas, "Mas masahol ka pa sa demonyó!"

"Kapatid ko si Jia?" Napaupo ako, walang hikbi ang lumabas sakin naka dilat at tulala lamang ako, tila sumisikip ang dibdib ko, para akong binagsakan nang langit at lupa.

"Manang, ka-kapatid ko si Jia?"

"Hindi ko alam, Hija" inakap ako nito para maging comfort ko kahit panandalian.
