Arrow
"Hey, Arrow, what's up?"
"K-Kuya Ace, sorry kung ngayon lang po ako nakatawag ulit," I really felt sorry for calling him just now.
Marami na siyang nagawa para sa akin, and this time, I really need his help one more time.
"It's okay, I know you're busy Arrow. By the way, bakit ka napatawag?" tanong niya.
I bit my lower lip. "I need your help, kuya. And it's very urgent."
"Hmm? Why? Is it about your laptop again? I already fixed it, kinuha na sa akin ni tito Henry last week," he responded.
"No, it's not about my laptop, kuya. 'Di ba po you're expert when it comes to hacking?" kagat-labing tanong ko.
"Ah, yeah. Bakit? You want me to help you hack someone?" natatawang saad niya.
"It's not like that, kuya. Pero I want you to search something for me, and no matter what happens, don't tell this to mom and dad." I really hope mom and dad will forgive me after this.
I'm sorry for hiding something from the both of you.
"I'll do everything I can, princess. You saved my wife and I'll pay you this time. So what's the matter?" Thank you kuya Ace! Such a hero!
"Could you please check if the documents regarding my accident are real? You can hack the Hospital's data in a short time right?" tanong ko habang kinakalikot ang laptop ko.
I sent him the documents he'll need.
"Okay, got it. Just wait a little."
Umupo muna ako katapat ng laptop habang hinihintay siya.
Pinagpatuloy ko ang pagbabasa sa article na nakita ko.
This princess right here, she's involved in a car accident last 2 years and I lost my memories also... Last 2 years.
She's the daughter of Mesaion and Canapia. The empress and crowned prince of Korea.
And she's also the granddaughter of the current emperor, Gunner Vlood.
Sinubukan kong humanap ng litrato ng kapangalan ko pero wala akong makita kahit isa.
The article also said that no one knows the princess' face.
"Hey, Arrow, still there?" Napakislot ako nang biglang magsalita si kuya Ace mula sa kabilang linya.
"Yeah, kuya. May nahanap ka na po ba?" magalang kong tanong.
"This is weird, Arrow." Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi nito.
"Kuya, bakit? May mali ba sa pinadala ko? It's the exact document I--"
"These documents are fake," he iterrupted.
Napalunok ako nang sunod-sunod nang marinig ang sinabi niya.
"F-Fake?" I asked.
"Yeah, they were never involved in an accident. Pero ikaw, naaksidente ka talaga base sa mga test na ginawa sa 'yo. And I also checked the CCTV footage when they brought you the hospital. June 21st, 2016. The doctors run some test on you pero hilom na ang ibang sugat mo. It means that they brought you to the Hospital two or three weeks after the accident." My mouth hanged open after hearing that.
Ang sabi nila, sabay-sabay kaming naaksidente.
Ako raw ang may pinakamalalang pinsala sa aming tatlo, pero bakit hindi nila ako nadala agad sa Hospital matapos ang aksidente?
"Arrow." Nabalik ako sa katinuan nang magsalita si kuya.
I swallowed hard. "Y-Yes?"
"You'll be fine if I tell you this one, right?" Dumagundong nang malakas ang dibdib ko sa sinabi ni kuya.
"W-What is it?"
"They aren't your real parents." Tuluyan na akong napahagulhol doon.
I covered my mouth to stop myself from sobbing.
I knew it. Since from the very start, they already lied to me.
"You aren't a Perez. They never had a kid in their life as a married couple. They also bought some medicines from Doctor Ocampo kung saan pinipigilan kang makaalala." I cried even more with that information he said.
They lied to me. Sa buong dalawang taon na kasama ko sila, matagal na nila akong niloloko.
How dare them tell me not to lie when in the first place ay sila na ang nagsinungaling sa akin?!
They hid everything from me. Even my identity, they hid everything kaya hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko alam kung sino talaga ako.
I should have search for it first. I sensed that there's something wrong tuwing nagtatanong ako tungkol sa nakaraan ko at hindi nila ako sinasagot.
"You're so stupid, Arrow, plain stupid," umiiyak na bulong ko sa sarili.
"You are not, Arrow. Hindi mo lang matandaan ang nakaraan mo. I'm really sorry for you." I closed my eyes tight when kuya Ace spoke from the other line.
Pagkamulat na pagkamulat ko ay saktong nagalaw ko ang keyboard.
Lumabas sa harapan ko ang isang article kasabay nang pagsasalita ni kuya Ace.
"When the first time I saw you, akala ko isa kang prinsesa na galing sa isang mayamang pamilya. You look like a royatlty especially with those golden eyes. And I suspected something but I chose to be silent. At ngayong nalaman ko na hindi ka nila totoong anak, mas lumakas pa ang kutob ko, Arrow."
"What is it? Tell me," malamig kong saad.
"It seems like... You are Arrow Vlood, the princess of Korea."
Victoria
Nanginginig na hinawakan ko ang kamay ni Henry habang nasa loob kami ng malaking aparador.
"Shh, honey, stay silent," he mouthed.
Naiiyak na umiling ako. "Henry, who a-are them? Why are they chasing us?" Halos pabulong nang sabi ko.
He shut his eyes tight as he caress my face.
"Be quiet, honey. They'll leave soon, we'll survive, okay?" he said with his teary eyes.
"I love you, H-Henry," I whispered to him as I kiss his lips.
"I love you too." We both hugged each other as we heard the door opened.
"I hope Arrow will forgive us once she find out about everything." Isang matamis na ngiti ang binigay ko sa kaniya.
"She'll forgive us. She's a good person, Victoria. I know we raised her well. And she'll be a good girl even if her memories came back," he responded.
Isang matamis na ngiti ang iniwan niya bago ko marinig ang putok ng baril.
I saw blood coming from his head before I felt the pain as a metal went through my head.
Forgive us, Arrow. Sorry.
