WISH UPON A STORM (Montenegro Series #2)

Chapter 17

Storm's POV.

"Storm" I was woken up by a soft voice. Marahan din akong tinapik nito.

"Mom" I called her. Mabilis akong umupo at inayos ang buhok ko. "What's wrong"

"Go downstairs, your Ate and Paris is fighting again"

"Paris is here?"

"Yep, again. Talk to her Dalfon Storm"

"Yes mom, thank you" I kissed her cheeks and stood up from my bed.

Mom stood up too and her eyes started roaming sa room ko, huminto iyon sa bedside table ko.

Lumapit sya at inangat ang bagay na nakapatong doon.

"They really look a like, sana unang tingin ay maco confused ka pero kapag kilala mo na talaga sila, you can easily distinguish them" Mom said. "She is really beautiful" she is staring at her picture. "Dakota is a very kind woman, your Dad often jokes that sya ang anak ko at hindi ate mo, kaugali ko raw kasi when we were younger"

Lumapit ako sa kanya at sinilip yung picture na hawak nya.

It is Dakota, wearing one of her doctor's coat at kitang kita ang baby bump nya. I stole that photo from Ate Celestine, picture nya ito noong nag medical mission sila.

If I only held tighter, if na convince ko lang siguro sya or kung hindi ganoon ka fcked up ang utak at puso ko 5 years ago, siguro ay kasama ko sya. Siguro ay buhay ang anak naming dalawa. Masaya siguro kami.

Nilapag na ni mom yung picture.

"Dito ka ba ulit matutulog next week?" Mom asked.

"Nope, tinamad lang akong magdrive pero uuwi na ko sa bahay namin, mas malapit kasi sa office"

"If Yaya Minda is still alive, malamang nag volunteer pa iyon na alagaan ka pa din despite her age" sabi ni Mom.

"Yeah Nana Minda, I missed her too"

Sya yung yaya nila mom and dad dati, naalagaan nya pa kami ng ilang taon kaya naging close kami sa kanya, nag retire sya years ago but Mom wanted to take care of her kaya kinuha nya ng bahay malapit samin, even Dakota knows her. She passed away years ago pero up until now, we still misses her.

"Get the hell out of here!"

Napatigil ang pag-iisip ko ng marinig ko ang kapatid ko. Nagsuot na ako ng t-shirt and decided to go down.

"Hindi ikaw ang ipinunta ko rito Celestine"

"Hindi ko namang sinabing ako, ang tanga mo naman, ang sabi ko hindi ka welcome. Comprehension sis" Ate said rolling her eyes.

"Where is Storm?"

"Nagpapahinga pa ang kapatid ko, probably spending the night, wishing Dakota is with her instead of being stuck with a psycho like you, hindi mo ba alam gaano mo pinapahirapan ang kapatid ko? First you lied being pregnant with his child, causing him to lose his real child and his wife which is by the way kakambal mo"

"Wala kang alam!"

"Anong wala? Ikaw ang walang alam, my brother is suffering because of what you did, now he is taking care of you and your child, na ayos lang naman pero stop asking him to marry you cause that is just too much Paris, hindi ko kayang tanggapin ang isang tulad mo. Isa lang ang sister in law ko, it's not you, it is Dakota"

Hindi ako nakababa, Celestine Montenegro is always vocal. She was really hurt, lalo na si mom when they found out what happened between me and Dakota, lalo na nung mamamatay ang anak namin. Dad almost took away everything, but mom had to interfere. Lahat gagawin nya para protektahan kaming mga anak nya.
