Pagkarating ni Serena sa pilipinas ay dumartiso kaagad siya sa bahay nila X ngayon ay nakatayo siya sa labas ng gate.Kausap ang guard ng malaman nito kung sino siya ay kaagad siya pinapasok.Weird the security in this place got tighter.Pagkapasok niya ay may sumundo na maid sakanya.
Ng makapasok siya sa loob ng bahay ay hinanap niya kaagad si X ang sabi ng Maid ay pababa na daw ito.Napahinto si Serena at napalapit sa malaking picture na nakasabit sa may wall.May matamis na ngiti na sumilay sa kanyang mga labi.
It was there picture kuha ito bago siya umalis.Sa isang Malaking glass portrait ay may limang pictures ang nakadikit.They look so happy and buo sila.
"Se--renna your back!!narinig niyang may sumigaw sa kanyang likuran.Then she saw X running towards her medyo mapula ang mata nito.She is wearing a blue maternity dress,mabilis siya nitong niyakap.
"I missed you!Bakit di ka lang man ng paalam saamin ni Catherina babae ka!!may pagtatampo sa boses nito.
Niyakap niya din ito
"Sorry X I just dont want to be too emotional kaya di naako ng paalam sainyo".
"That's ok I always pray for you,You look well Serena kaya lang parang may iba sayo."Ohh!fuck!bigla daing nito.
"Aree you ok?kinakabahang tanong niya dito.
Nakita niyang huminga ito ng malalim
"Yea"just contraction ngayon or bukas na lalabas ang baby.
"Why are you not in hospital X asan na si Catherina?she ask her.
Nasa Ospital inaasikaso ang magiging kwarto namin ni Baby.
"and Bianci?
Sasagot na sana ito ng makita niyang pababa ng hagdanan si Bianci.
"Speaking of Lorenzo!Nakita niya ang pagkainis sa mukha ni X ng sabihin nito ang pangalang Lorenzo.Before she left this two are so sweet nag aaway na ba ang dalawa ngayon?
Nabasa siguro ni X ang kanyang iniisip kaya ng salita ito.
"Every second I see him makes my heart boiled!galit na sabi nito.
Nakita niyang palapit sakanila si Bianci at naka kunot ang noo nito.
"Cara I told you dont walk and leave our room your in labor baka mapaano ka"sabi nito.
"The fuck Lorenzo kagabi kapa!Your so OA! I need to walk para bumama ang baby natin at para mailabas ko na siya.
"I understand Cara but you need to be careful--
"Just go!I dont wanna see you!Inis na sabi nito
Huminga ng malalim si Bianci habang nakatingin sa kanila.Kita mo sa mga mata nito ang pag aalala.
Right now while looking at X tama nga ang desisyon niyang di mag-kaanak.She looks like hell, X is a gentle lady di ito marunong sumigaw or magalit lang man.But now she looks like she wants to eat Bianci alive.Also that man he looks like a sad puppy.
Narinig niyang sumigaw ulit si X siguro dahil sa sakit at napahawak ito sakanya.Mabilis naman na lumapit si Lorenzo sakanila.Hahawakan sana nito si X ng sumigaw ito ulit.
"Dont touch me Lorenzo!I hate you!sabay iyak ulit si X
Kahit siya ay di maiwasang di mag alala at matakot dito.It was her first time seing a pregnant lady this mad at kaibigan niya pa talaga.Paano kung manganak dito ngayon sa bahay dahil sa nararamdaman nito"Bigla siyang namutla.
"Ahh!X just breathe in ok!magiging ok din ang lahat".
"Do you wan to sit on the Sofa?she ask her
"No!I dont want too every minute it hurt's like hell Serena sa tingin mo kayang umupo?inis na sabi nito.
"Fuck!ayaw niyang maranasan ang nararansan ni Bianci ngayon!
"No!no we stand here okay if that's what you want.Gusto mo bang maglakad-lakad tayo?she ask her softly.
Tumango naman ito
Nakita niyang tahimik lang na sinusundan ng mga mata ni Bianci ang mga galaw nila.This man looks tired pati si X.Bawat sandali ay titigil ito ang ginagawa ang breathing exercise.Why do ladies going through stuff like this?From X facial expression sobrang sakit na talaga ng nararamdaman nito.
"X why are you not yet in the Hospital?she ask her.
"It's not time yet I have a birthplan that I need to follow"sabi nito sakanya.Tumango siya kahit wala siyang naintindihan sa sinabi nito.Ang akala niya dati ay madali lang ang manganak!
Ilang sandali pa ang nakalipas ay nakita niya ang lola ni Bianci na palapit sa kanila.
"Nonna!It hurts so much!Sumbong ni X dito
"Shhh!It's normal your baby want's to go out badly trust me when you saw your baby lahat ng sakit at pagod mo ay mawawala.
"Ang unfair lang po Nonna kami dalawa ni Lorenzo gumawa tapos ako lang ang nasasaktan ng ganito''parang batang sabi ni X dito.
"Thats how I feel also ng pinanganak ko ang mama ng aking apo but I still manage to push her into this world kaya mo din"the old gave X assurance kaya kahit paano ay nakita niyang gumaan ang pakiramdam nito.
Tapos ay bumaling ito sakanya at binigayan siya ng ngiti.
"Welcome back Nippotina(grandaughter) she greeted her.
This lady looks scary but have a sweet personality kaya nagustuhan ni Catherina ito.They treat them also like her grandaughters.
"Magandang Araw po"sabi niya dito.
"Did you eat Nippotina?the old lady ask her
"Di pa po"nahihiyang tugon niya dito.
Nakita niyang umalis ito pagkatapos ay tinawag na ni X si Bianci.
"I'm sorry Lorenzo nadala lang ako sa galit ko kagabi paako di makatulog dahil sa sakit and it's not fair tha--
"It's alright Cara I understand what you want to do now?
"Can we walk together katulad ng ginawa namin ni Serena?she ask him gently.Nakita niya naman tumango si Bianci.She wanted to give them space kaya umupo siya sa sala ilang sandali pa ay bumalik ang lola ni Bianci na may kasamang maid.Tapos ay nilapag nito ang pagkain sa kanyang harapan.It was a cup of hot chocolates at ibat-ibang klaseng mga cookies.
She dont wanna be rude so she said thank you.Tahimik lang itong nakaupo at nagsimula na siyang kumain.
Bigla siyang napapikit ng malasahan niya ang hot chocolate because it taste so damn good katulad ng lasa ng ginagawa sakanya ni Anica pero mas masarap lang ito.It taste bitter yet so milky.Ngumiti siya dito
"Did you like it?masayang tanong ni Signora Olivia sakanya.
Tumango siya
"Try these cookies I'm sure you will love it too".Kumuha siya ng isa at sinubo niya ito wala siyang masabi dahil ang sarap ng pagkakawa nito.Di niya namalayan na naubos na niya pala.
Nahihiyang tumingin siya sa dito
"Pasensiya napo kayo naubos ko lahat"
"No!I'm very happy you like them Serena if you want I can make you these cookies for you again"masiglang sabi nito sakanya.Her eyes smiled brightly.
"I would really appreciate that"this old woman she is not that bad.
"Also that hot chocolate masarap sobrang nagustuhan ko"
"You know hija your like Issabella she likes to drink this Hot chocolate also.I remember when the first time she visit in Italy.She doesnt talk just like you but when I gave her this Hot chocolate she starts talking to me.
May mga beses na gusto siyang kausapin ni Signorina Olivia pero umiiwas siya.Bigla nitong hinawakan ang kanyang kamay.
"Serena I wanted to Apologize for what Federico done to you.Alam kung sobrang laki ng pagkakasala niya.But I wanted us to get more closer dahil kapatid ang turing ni Xania sainyo.Also I can see that you are a kind person at kung bibigyan niya mo ako ng pagkakataon ay gusto kung bumawi sa mga maling ginawa sayo ng Ama ni Lorenzo.
Di siya nakasagot sa sinabi nito.Nang di siya nagsalita ay binawi ng matanda ang kamay nito pero pinigilan niya.
"Let's forget all of that Nonna --can I call you Nonna?she ask her.
Ngumiti ito
"Yes!You can called me Nonna Hija!
Ngumiti siya at nagsalita ulit
"When I found my family I learned one thing and that is family is important at kahit ano pa ang masamang ginawa nila saiyo ay dapat mo silang patawarin.X she is my sister at ngayon ay pamilya na niya kayo.Which means your also my family kaya mas mabuting kalimutan napo natin ang lahat ng nangyari.I forgive you Nonna also Lorenzo"It was the first time that she called Bianci's name.
Niyakap siya nito and you know what?It felt so good at ang gaan sa pakiramdam kapag may pinatawad ka.
"Grazie (Thank you) Hija.
Do you want to another cup of Hot chocolate?she ask her again.She nod at this time sinamahan niya ito sa kusina.
Five passed at nasa kwarto siya ngayon ni X kasama ang baby nito.She doesnt like babies but the first time she saw Bianci holding that child.Di paipagkakaila na magiging gwapo ito paglaki nito.X is finally a mother now madami luha at pawis ang sinakripisyo nito para mailabas lang ito.Nasa crib ito at pinag mamasadan niyang mabuti.Kakauwi lang ng mga ito galing ospital.
"Serena why dont you make one?X ask her nakita niya namang papasok si Catherina.
"Ughh!No thanks X after what I saw and besides di bagay saakin ang maging ina Im too wild for that"'she cant imagine herself being a mom at alam niyang di na siya pwedeng magkaanak at masaya siya sa desisyon niya.
Tahimik na lumapit si Catherina sakanya.
"Well you can always adopt Serena like what I did with Lilo"sabi nito.
Pagkabalik niya ay doon niya nalaman na inampon na ng tuluyan ni Catherina ang batang nakita nito sa dark Alley.Her parents were Against it kahit sila X but what Cathy wants she get's .
"Nah!not interested"mabilis na sagot niya.
"Yea your grandfather would not allowed that'' sabi ni X sakanya.Pagkapangak ni X at ng maging ok na ang pakiramdam nito ay nagtanong ito at kinuwento niya lahat ng nangyari sakanya dito.Even Catherina at Anica are there at masaya ito para sakanya.
That's not really a reason ayaw niya lang talaga sa bata.Pero habang tinititigan si Laurus that's the name of X baby ay di niya maiwasan maisip kung magkakaanak sila ni Adil siguro magiging ganito din ka gwapo.
"Hey!Serena what are you thinking?she ask herself.Kaagad niyang inalis ang imahe ni Adil sa kanyang isipan.
"By the way Catherina is that Kid is he still alive sino ang nagbabanatay sakanya?she ask cathy.
"No one but I gave him my credit card also money.I said if he's hungry he can order food online".
Napanganga silang dalawa ni X
"How old is that kid?she ask her again
"Lilo?Ahmm I guess he's ten yes he must be"
Napahawak siya sa kanyang sentido
"Miki is Twelve but they still look after her dahil di ito marunong magluto at di pa nito maalagaan ang kanyang sarili.
"Catherina!You cant just leave a ten year old in your house by himself!Paano pag nasunog ang bahay mo o kaya napahamak ito.Did you lock your lab?You should have had a nanny to look after him!
Tumingin ito sakanya then she smirk
"Ohh!Look at you Serena you become good at parenting now?she ask her sarcastically.
"No!It's called common sense!she told her
"Hep!hep! awat muna Catherina tama si Serena".
Huminga ito ng malalim
"Ok!I will call Steven to check on him!Happy?
Nagmamadali akong umalis plus that kid he is smart.Alam niya ang skedule ko at mga ginagawa ko.He knew plenty of things at sa totoo lang si Lilo pa ang nag aalaga saakin.He would prepared my food and bath.He is like a grown up person and he is my brother kaya mahal na mahal ko yun.Kaya both of you stop di ko hahayaan may mangyari masama sa bata ok.Di ko siya iiwan kung alam kung di niya kaya"mahinahon na sabi nito.
"That Steven are you a couple or what?Last time I saw him giving you flowers"
"Yea!and both of you made a scene on the hallway.Doon pa talaga kayo ng away!
"Well what can I say when I remembered how you two made out in your house brings back memories.Im just protecting you,did you run a background check on him kilala mo ba talaga siya Catherina.From what I can see he is a really good fighter.He's just playing with me while were fighting I just dont feel good when your with him"sabi niya dito.
"Dont worry were just fuckbuddy "Catherina said to them like it's not a big deal.
Biglang lumaki ang mata ni X
"Catherina!your mouth I cant believe your saying that!sabi ni X.
"X it's normal ok I have needs!
"But Lorenzo told me that Steven is serious about you"
Tinitigan niya ang dalawa
"Steven is Lorenzo's bestfriend"sabi ni Xania sakanya.
"So you dont need to be nervous Serena I met and talk to him remember ako ang rason kung bakit ng kakilala ang dalawa?I just dont get why both of you are not in relationship yet"tanong ni X kay Catherina.
So she is right something is fishy about this man.Magmula ng makilala niya si Biaci at malaman niya ang posisyon ni Anica sa Mafia ay di na siya nagtitiwala basta-basta.
"Because we just want to have fun X it's all about sex you know and I wont fall for him"
"Really Catherina?Serena told that last year sa party na di ito mahuhulog sa Hari pero minahal niya ito"Am I right Serena?X ask her
Di siya sumagot dahil alam niyang nasa puso na niya si Adil at kahit anong gawin niya ay di na ito mawawala sa kanyang puso.
"Yea right! but look what that ashole did to her!That jerk is getting married already!Di niya lang man hinintay si Serena na makabalik!I told you ate he is not good for you!
Noong una ay di ma processed ng kanyang utak ang sinabi ni Catherina.But what did you expect Serena pinag tabuyan mo yung tao?Maybe he got tired chasing you.
"Catherina!Why do you need to tell her that?
"She needs to know the truth X kesa malaman niya sa iba mas mabuting saatin nang-galing"
"But we dont know if it's true yet!You know media are viper's"
Tahimik lang si Serena bago sana siya umalis ng pilipinas ay plano niyang kausapin si Adil she want to apologize.She was busy handling all her properties at nag paalam na siya sa Agency na aalis na siya then kapapanganak palang ni X kaya masyadong madami siyang iniisip or maybe she was just to sacred to talk to him dahil di niya alam kung anong sasabihin dito.
Kinuha ni Catherina ang cellphone nito at may pinindot ito tapos ay inabot sakanya.Dahan-dahan niya itong inabot then she saw him.Adil looks more handsome than ever at may babaeng ka holding hands ito.When she look at her closely.She looks familiar
"That's woman is Patricia Miller ring a bell?
"Yea the woman in Italy "
"That's right she's Valeria's friend ang di ko maintindihan ay sa daming-daming babae iyan pa ang pinili na ipalit saiyo!
"Catherina that's enough!saway ni X dito
She scroll down at madaming mga comments sa ibaba.She look at them again she cant saw emotions in Adil face, he's hard as a stone.But the woman is very pretty at nakita niyang bagay ito kay Adil.The Queen material something that she doesnt have.The Charisma she is smilinv in every picture .Even at the gala that Patricia move so elegant and full of confidence.That woman has a blond hair and sexy body Serena doest like Patricia at all.The News said the King finally found his Queen.Di na niya nagawang basahin pa kaya binalik niya kay Catherina ang phone.So that's the reason why people at the Agency are quiet even Damien and Rika have this sad expression into their face.
"Well they look together"yun lang ang nasabi niya.
"I disagree! mas bagay kayo!I just cant understand why he's dating her!Sabi ni X
"We all know that Patricia is beautiful and the way that woman sing in the gala and her gesture is perfect.She also come from a good family kaya di natin masisi si Adil kung bakit niya ito pinili.
"Im sorry Serena"sabi ni X sakanya
Tumango siya "Im fine di mo kasalanan X"
Di na nagsalita si Catherina
"I will go now but I be back later"paalam niya sa dalawa.
"Where are you going?Catherina ask her
"Just to unwind and think,dont worry I be back here,I just need to be alone right now".
