Cae

"I think I'm the reason kung bakit nahimatay si Mommy." nakayukong wika ko while me, Ate Ada and Ate Ara are on the way towards the hospital's cafeteria.

Kunot-noo naman akong tinignan ni Ate Ada. "Ha? Bakit naman?"

I took a deep breathe first before explaining to them.

"I have this classmate na kamukha ni Daddy, whenever I'm around her, I can sense a familiar feeling. It's like, hindi ibang tao ang kasama ko kundi kapatid ko. I came to the stupid conclusion I ever had, I thought na baka anak siya ni Daddy sa iba. I told Mommy about that earlier and she seemed to take it seriously, and the rest is history.." wika ko, both of my sisters stopped walking at napahinto na rin ako.

Si Ate Ada gulat na napatingim sa'kin habang tumawa naman ng mapakla si Ate Ara and there's a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"Wow, that was the most brilliant thing I ever heard! Galing mo magisip Cae, wala ka bang tiwala kay Daddy at naisip mo na may anak siyang iba?" tanong niya sa'kin and anger at the same time disappointment is evidence in her voice.

Napayuko na lang ako, I know that I made a stupid move. Sana 'di ko na lang kinuwento kay Mommy ang tungkol kay Sofia. Tanga-tanga mo talaga, Cae!

"I know and I'm sorry." I said sincerely, true enough na pinagsisihan ko ang ginawa ko. I'm the one to be blamed kapag may nangyaring masama kay Mommy.

"Are you sure na that girl resemble Dad? Maybe, na-miss mo lang kami ni kambal at kung ano-ano na ang iniisip mo?" Ate Ada asked in a calm voice, compare to Ate Ara na ngayo'y nakataas ang kilay sa'kin.

I hate to say this pero sadyang may bitchy side si Ate Ara (namana niya kay Mommy). She have this ability na mapasunod ang lahat by just merely looking at them, in fact, minsan takot ako sa kanya.

Para siyang si Mommy kapag nagalit, she'll do everything to get even. And Ate Ada is her exact opposite, she's the calm one. But behind those different attitudes, mahal ko pa rin sila and I know they both love me too.

Tumango ako sa tanong ni Ate Ada. "Opo, I'm sure. By any chance, do you know someone at school named Sofia Ledesma?"

Napaisip naman si Ate sa tanong ko, I'm really sure na hindi gut feeling lang ang na-feel ko towards Sofia.

"I heard that name once but I don't know her in person.." wika niya, napatingin kami kay Ate Ara nang inilabas niya ang cellphone niya, asking what's the name of the girl again.

"Sofia Ledesma."

Lumapit kami sa kanya at tinignan kung ano ang ginagawa niya, obviously she's stalking Sofia thru instagram at 'di na ako nagulat nang mag-pop up ang mukha ni Sofia sa isang icon.

"@sofialouise, that's her!" sambit ko, Ate clicked the profile and the both of them gasped upon seeing Sofia's news feed.

See? Hindi lang ako ang nagulat, kahit sila rin!

Ate Ada clicked a certain picture of Sofia, it's a selfie at kita-kitang ang mukha niya na for me, resembles our Dad.

"Sh--she do look like Dad!" 'di-makapaniwalang saad ni Ate Ara.

"Baka nagkataon lang?" sambit naman ni Ate Ada, I starred at her and I can see confusion thru her eyes.

I know Ate Ada, she's just making herself believe na coincidence lang ang lahat ng 'to even tho I have this feeling na it isn't.

I trust Daddy and I love him pero, kahit sino man ang nasa posisyon namin ngayon, magtataka rin mismo.

Ano nga ba ang totoong kwento?
