Chapter 10 - Chapter ten: Memories

Xaira Point of View:

"AAAHHHH!!! FVCK THAT XAIYI!" I yelled and break the things that I touched. "That bitch is really doing that on purpose. I underestimated her."

"Relax, Xai. She is just a piece of cake. In fact, ilang araw nalang ay aalis na din naman siya 'di ba?" Victoria said while sipping her red wine.

"How can I calm when I know that Jayzi is getting attracted to her. I thought I've just mistaken it but fvck! That really know how to bewitched people around her. She even get Jayzi's mother support. Just what's so good to that bitch?!" I annoyingly explained.

"If she's that what you just said. Then let the guy handle that for you. I thought you already contacted him. And I was so sure that he'll do everything for you." She merely and calmly said, crossing her legs and look at me courageously.

"Daven?" I just said.

She smirked and put her glass down then stood up while facing me. "You're a smart girl, Xaira and I know that you'll never lose to that sister of yours. In fact, I'm on your side. She's just nothing without my family support. You should take your move now---" She walked closer to me and held my chin up that make me looked directly to her dark brown eyes. "Or else, she will instantly and easily can steal your spot. You wouldn't let happened, aren't you?" She added that makes me feel hatred and anxious at the same time.

I know that Victoria is on my side but I can sense that she can't do anything once her family strengthen the ties to that bitch. I know that they know what happened that year but they didn't let Jayzi know it because of Xaiyi's decision and I can't believe that in just a short period of time she can easily take back the things that she abandoned 14 years ago. And I will not let that happen.

Victoria is one of Don Zitreo's illegitimate child but I guessed that Victoria is the only one who's qualified to be in the family. That is why she can easily get the favor and sympathy of everyone around her. You can say that she has two identity. No one knows that except me and her mother who died 2 years ago. Her mother is actually my mom close friend that is why we easily get to know each other and I know that I can trust her because I know to myself that I'm the only person that she only have and she can trust.

"What do you want me to do then?" I suddenly asked that make her smile devilishly.

"What do you think is the only solution to get rid of those wild dogs who didn't know their place at the first place?" After saying that she held my hair and smell it. She lean over to my ear and whispered.. "Death."

Xaiyi Point of View:

Xaiyi's shop♡

"Felicity, maayos na ba ang lahat?" Tanong ko dito.

"Opo ma'am. Lahat po na inutos niyo ay ginawa ko na." Malungkot na sagot nito. Kaya naman binigyan ko ito nang matamis na ngiti.

"Nalulungkot ka parin ba?" Bahagya kong tanong dito tsaka lumapit.

"Natatakot po kasi ako e." Medyo alinlangan pa nitong tugon.

"Bakit naman? Alam kong kaya mong pamahalaan 'tong shop. In fact I can see a good future in you. You should try it." I cheered her up.

"Di naman po sa gan'on. Natatakot po kasi ako dahil nag-iisa nalang po kayo doon kung sakaling inaannounce na ang divorce ninyo ni Sir Jayzi. Tsaka paano po ako makakatiyak na maayos lang kayo doon lalo pa't magkakahiwalay na po tayo?" She sincerely and worriedly said.

Di ko alam na ganoon pala kabigat ang iniisip ni Felicity sa pag-alis kong 'to. Her emotions touched my heart and I feel warmth and blessed to have her in life.

I patted her head and look into her eyes. Saying that 'I'll be fine and she don't need to worry.'

"I can take care of myself, Fel. You should be worry to yourself. Pinapaubaya ko muna sayo itong shop ha. Tutal baka ito na ang huling araw ko dito. I'll be living in US for good. I know that this small shop can help you to continue your dream. In fact, the main branch need me there." I explained.

"Alam ko naman po iyon. Pero ipangako niyo pong mag-iingat kayo palagi doon ha at kung magkakaroon po nang pagkakataon na makaipon ay gusto ko po sana kayong puntahan doon." This innocent girl is really a treasure. I'm so lucky to have her with me even in just a short time.

"Sure. I'll wait for you then. May contacts ka naman sa akin kaya tatawagan nalang kita kung sakali."

"Okay po." Saad nito at saka ako niyakap. Felicity is like a real sister to me, a family. She's loyal, faithful, and a loving child. I hope that someday, she'll find her happiness.

"Total naman ay tapos na din ang mga gawain ngayon. Ba't di ka magbakasyon muna?" I recommended.

"Ayaw ko po. Our time is limited and all I just wanted is to stay by your side, ma'am Xaiyi." She refused tsaka kumalas ng yakap. I genuinely smiled at her.

"Then sing a song for me. Do you still remember the day that you first sang a song for me?" I just said. Then she nodded.

Departure by Amanda Lee English cover

~ No longer can I call myself loved by you anymore

And neither can I say I'm still wanted or who you need

And so now I'm on my own

Or was I guaranteed

To walk alone ~

I wish I knew what you had tried to express long ago

But when you spoke the heavens swept up all of your words

Even though it's nothing new

I'll take another step

And make a wish that will not come true ~

'Ilang taon na din ang lumipas at di ko akalain na ganito magtatapos ang lahat.' Tanging saad ko sa sarili at masayang pinakikinggan ang tinig ni Felicity habang inaalala ang lahat na pangako at nangyari sa amin ng taong minahal ko mula pa noon hanggang ngayon.

Please say you won't let go of me

And tightly hold me so

I need to know that we will forever be this way ~

'Promise ko sayo na papakasalan kita paglaki natin.' A innocent 6 years old Jayzi once promised me.

The memory of holding your hand each and every day

I'll never forget ~

'Wag mo kasi bibitawan kamay ko.' I merely still remember how I held your hand tightly.

You made me cry so many times

And that never did change

But looking back I'm glad I cried even though it still hurts ~

'Ano ba! Bat mo ako hinalikan?' A eight years old me. Shouting to the guy who actually take my first kiss away.

'That symbolize that you'll never get away from me. Hehe.'

Because when you'd apologize

You'd make the sweetest face

And you'd pull me into your embrace. ~

'Wag ka na matakot. Nandito naman ako e.' That's the day you embraced me in your arm and make me feel secured.

Please say you won't let go... of me

And tightly hold me so

Inside your arms is where I would like to call my home ~

'Gusto ko sana na sa araw na makakakita na ako ay ikaw ang una kong masilayan. Pwede mo bang ipangako sa akin iyon' A eleven years old of him. Lying in the hospital bed, asking me excitedly.

My true wish is to open my eyes in the morning light (ahh)

And see your face ~

'Ayoko po umalis. Ma, Pa. Please.. Nangako po ako sa kanya.' A ten years old of me. Begging my parents to let me stay.

Did you ever think

That this day would come

When a goodbye would last forever~

'Makakakita na ako bukas, Xaixai. Makikita na kita sa wakas.' You excitedly said. Happiness is all over you and I can't help but cry silently. Looking at you and saying goodbye in my mind.

Please say you won't let go of me

And tightly hold me so

Your smile won't be for me

You'll be a memory~

'Iiwan na naman kita. Sana maging masaya ka.' I slightly smiled kasabay n'on ang bahagyang pagpatak ng aking luha.

Just one more time

Before your warmth completely disappears

Hold me in your arms.. Ahh~
