The Truth Between Untruth

Chapter 32

Lea

Wala sa mga classmates...Wala rin sa mga Tita's and Tito's niya or even sa mga Ninang&Ninong. I don't know kung saan kami susunod na maghahanap.

"Mommy,did you already saw Ate?"
Malungkot na sabi ni Leisha habang nagdidinner.

Actually, i pretend that I'm okay at Leisha's front. Ayoko namang ipakita sa kanya ang mga kahinaan ko. And ayokong isipin niyang nagpapaboritism ako. Yan ang hindi ko gagawin kahit kanino. I need to be fair kahit kanino most especially to my daughters.

I touched her hand.

"Don't worry. We never give up to find Ate.okay?"
I said pero halatang pigil na pigil ko ang mga luhang gustong pumatak mula sa mga mata ko.

"Mommy, can i go with you tomorrow to find Ate? I can't wait to see her ulit. I really miss her."

"But how's your school?"

Napayuko siya.

"Don't tell to us that you'll gone absent your class tomorrow just to go with us?"
Aga said

Lalo siya napayuko

"Leisha,anak. Don't worry. We'll do our best to find Ate as soon as possible. If ate know that you'll absent your class,she will not happy. Kasi diba she told you that you need to study hard."

"Okay po."
Malungkot niyang sagot.

"I'm sorry baby"
I hugged her and kiss her head until my tears was flow through out my cheeks.

Leinna

"Mommy can we Sleep here po? Pleaseeeee.please pretty pleaseee"
Sabay puppy eyes to daddy and mommy.

"Not now babies."
Daddy

We both go at mommy side then murmured this.
"Please Mommy.please pretty pleasee"
Then puppy eyes the both of us. Leisha and I.

"I can't endures the both of you.heh heh Of course. anytime. You can sleep beside us. It's too wide kaya. Even Abu with us nga kakasya tayo e.heh heh heh.''
Mommy

"Yeheey! Thank you mommy"
Leisha and I

"Sorry daddy,your lose!hahaha!"
I whispered to him. Then he pout.pout like a kid.

Then we lying at the middle of our Parents.
(Daddy-Leisha-Mommy-Me)
When daddy hugged mommy, i removed his hand to mommy's tummy and it makes mommy laugh and daddy pout.

We hugged mommy so tight and say "Good Night"and also gave mommy a good night kiss then we sleep while we hugged mommy so tight that makes daddy jealous.

I remembered that memorable things that happens to our family.

And now, it was a tearful night for me. Kung sa alaala ko nakayakap kay mommy sa reality, nakayakap ako sa isang hamak na unan. Halos mabasa na ang mga unan, blanket sa luha ko.

I really miss my family...I really miss them.

I mean,not a family. It had an additional word. My REEL family. It's too hard to say and think na hindi pala nila dugo ang nananalaytay sa buong katawan ko kundi sa isang unknown couple. 😞

Kung sino man kayo, gusto ko lang sabihin sa inyo na wala kayong kwentang mga magulang!
I murmured to myself.

Lea

Starting our day sa paghahanap kay Leinna. After we sent leisha in school,we started to find her. Habang nagtatravel, lahat kami ay busying-busy sa pagiisip kung sino pa ang pwedeng lapitan ni Leinna

Suddenly...

"Babes...I've got something...!"
Excited niyang sabi saken.

Tumingin lang ako sa kanya...

"Did you remember Eula?Eula Valdes! Diba, sobrang close sila ni Leinna? Pwede natin siyang tanungin about leinna,and may chance na baka alam niya kung saan si leinna"
Paliwanag niya

"But we don't know where she live!"
Ako

Exactly,di ko alam bukas pala ang data ng phone ko and nag pop yung phone ko and may nagnotif sa account ko sa lahat ng social Media.

"Wait, I'll try to search her sa social media."

Then search............

Eula

It's 7:30 in the morning and it's better call Leinna for our breakfast.

I was about to knock her door nang marinig kung nagsasalita siya. Di ko alam kung may kasama siya or what...

I slowly open the door and saw her. Talking herself while seeing their family pic i think.

"When i woke up in the morning,first people that i saw are all of you... but now, i think matagal na bago ulit mangyari...
Mommy, I'm so sorry... i know you really worried about me.And i really miss you so much... I want to see you but how?

Narinig ko lahat ng sinabi ni Leinna. At awang awa ako sa kanya...

Kung may magagawa lang ako para mapasaya ka,I will do...just for you

Then may naisip ako. May magagawa nga ako.

I dialed Lea...And if you asked, i got her number from Aga...

Lea

Whiled searching her name on social media, i receive a call from unknown person.

"Hello,who's this?"
Mahinahon kung tanong

"Hello,Lea...It's me, Eula Valdes."

"O my! Good thing. I want to talk to you. Can we?"

"Yes. May gusto rin akong sabihin sa'yo...Let's meet at *insert restaurant* I will arrived ASAP..."

"Okay...On the way na kami ni Aga. See you there"

Gumaan bigla ang pakiramdam ko when i heard her. Sana good news ang dala niya.

At the meeting place
When we saw each other, we gave a beso to each other then we started talk.

"Eu, may gusto sana akong sabihin sa'yo pero ikaw muna mauna..."
I requested

"Lei, i know everything. I know what bothered on your mind why do you want to talk to me."

Napahawak ako sa kamay niya

"Please,Eu, help me to find my daughter. I'm begging you.pleasee!"
Naluha na ako.

"Lei, kaya ako naparito kasi she's in my house..."

Lalong napabuhos ang luha ko.

"Palagi siyang umiiyak. And ang salitang naririnig ko lang sa kanya ay kayo... Ginawa ko to for her. Pero kapag sinasabi kung sasamahan ko siyang bumalik sa inyo she pretend that she's okay without you. Pero hindi. Naaawa na ako sa bata kaya kahit hindi niya gugustuhin ang ginawa kung pagsabi sa inyo na nasa bahay siya ginawa ko. Nagpromise kasi ako sa kanya na hindi ko sasabihin kahit kanino lalo na sa inyo ang tungkol sa pagstay niya sa bahay.kaya please,pakiusap ko lang na hindi sana makarating sa bata na ako ang dahilan kung bakit alam niyo kung nasan siya?"
paliwanag niya

"I promise Eu...Thank you for taking good care to my daughter ha! pwede ko ba siyang puntahan sa inyo?"
I asked

"Of course you can. But please, don't break our promise."

"Thank you Eu...I never break our promise. When did i see her?"

"I'll text you nalang.
I promise,hindi ko kayo bibiguin."

"Aasahan ko.Thank you again."

Saka nagpaalam na siya...
