Sam or Elle's POV
Pagkatapos naming kumain ay nagpaalam na kami kay Dad. Ibinigay ko kay Aiden ang address na pupuntahan namin at tahimik naman itong nagmaneho ng kotse nya. It's already 8 in the evening when we arrived outside the mansion of Mom. Nagtataka namang tumingin sakin si Aiden pagdating namin dito.
"Kaninong mansion ito, love?" nagtatakang tanong nito
"You'll see" sabi ko at nakita ko ang guard na lumapit samin kaya binuksan ko ang bintana at nagulat naman ito ng makita ako
"Kayo po pala, young lady. Pasok na po kayo" nakangiting sabi nito at binuksan na ang gate
"Go, drive now" sabi ko kay Aiden na nakakunot pa rin ang noong nakatingin sa akin
Pagdating namin sa tapat ng pinto ng mansion ay bumaba na kami ng kotse. Pagdating ni Aiden sa pwesto ko ay hinawakan ko ang kamay nito at ngumiti sa kanya
"Don't worry, you'll know now what I have been hiding" sabi ko at hinala sya palapit sa pinto. Binuksan ko ito at wala kaming naabutang tao sa sala kaya naman nagpunta kami sa dining area. At nakita naming kumakain si Mom. Bigla naman siyang napatayo ng makita ako at kita ko ang gulat sa mata niya ng kasunod kong pumasok si Aiden. Mukhang wala si Kuya Lay ngayon, and that would be better if hindi sya makakauwi ngayong gabi.
"Princess, what are you doing here? And why did you bring him here?" nagtatakang tanong nito
"I'll explain later, please finish your meal first" nakangiting kong sabi at hinila na palabas ng dining area si Aiden
Pagdating namin sa sala ay pinaupo ko muna sya sa sofa at tinabihan sya
"Who is she, love? Why is she calling you princess, and why the guard earlier called you young lady? What's happening?" naguguluhang tanong nito
"Please wait a little more, love. I'll explain, okay?" sabi ko at hinawakan ang kamay nya.
Ilang saglit lang ay dumating na si Mom at naupo sa tapat namin
"So, what is it all about, princess?"
"Love, meet my Mom, Scarlett Hart. Mom, this is Kris Aiden, my boyfriend" nakangiti kong sabi at kita ko sa mat ani Aiden ang pagkagulat ng malaman nyang Mom ko ang nasa harapan namin and the fact na buhay ito.
"H-how…" utal na tanong nito
"I know nabigla ka, but my bestfriend saved me that day and pinalabas na patay na ako at tuluyang nasunog sa loob ng bahay na iyon. It's nice to finally meet you Kris, just call me Tita Scarlett" nakangiting sabi ni Mom at inextend ang kamay nya para makipag shakehands kay Aiden
"N-nice to meet you too, Ma- I mean Tita Scarlett. I'm happy you survived the tragedy and my girlfriend's family will be complete again" sabi ni Aidne ng makabawi sya sa pagkagulat at kinuha ang kamay ni Mom
Pagkatapos nilang mag shakehands ay humarap naman sakin si Aiden at bigla akong niyakap
"Thank you love, for trusting me" sabi nito kaya naman niyakap ko ito
"I just can't hide it anymore to you, but I'm sad because of me, your Mom is in prison and I'm destroying your family but here I am completing my family" malungkot kong sabi
"You don't need to be sorry. Mom deserves to be punished from what she did to you and your family. Malapit na rin sana tayo magkaroon ng sariling pamilya pero sinira nya ito"
"So, you already knew?" biglang singit ni Mom kaya naman napahiwalay kami sa yakapan namin
"Yes, Tita. I apologize on behalf of my Mom" sabi ni Aiden at nag bow ito kay Mom
"Get up, you don't need to apologize. I'm happy despite of the truth you did not left my daughter. Just promise me, no matter what, you'll stay by her side and will trust her every decision. What happened in the past should not affect your relationships, even our family will have misunderstanding, please stay with my daughter. This may sound selfish, but I am happy to see the both of you loving each other. In fact, we planned before to arrange both of you for a fixed marriage but because of what happened." Nakangiting sabi ni Mom kaya naman nagkatinginan kami ni Aiden.
"But do you know why Tita Kristel kept on forcing Aiden to marry Mikka?" tanong ko
"Kristel… She's not like that before, in fact we're also close to each other but because of her relationship with Annika, she was influenced by her. Annika wanted to get everything from me, she wanted my position and money. She even planned to get everything from Charles Family, and she influenced Kristel. They both wanted more power and money, and that's why they both killed me and my brother thinking that they can snatch the rank of Hart Group." Kwento ni Mom na nagpagulat naman kay Aiden at mukhang napansin ni Mom ang reaksyon ni Aiden
"You… you didn't know?" gulat na tanong ni Mom kay Aiden
"No, Mom. I still didn't tell him. Ayokong biglain sya tulad ng nangyari ngayon. He just found out about her mother having connection in your murder 2 decades ago." Paliwanag ko
"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you already knew everything" malambot na expression na sabi ni Mom
"Ano pang hindi ko alam? Bakit? Hindi ko alam na magagawa ni Mom yun. Buong buhay ko nirespeto ko sya, bakit hindi pa sya makuntento sa kung anong meron kami?!" galit na sabi ni Aiden
"Please calm down love" sabi ko at niyakap sya
"Please, Elle. Tell me everything. Tell me everything you're hiding from me! I don't care if I will be hurt knowing everything what my Mom did!" sigaw nito kaya naman napabuntong hininga ako at napatingin kay Mom
Should I tell him? And Mom?
"Please, love. I'm begging you" sabi nito at biglang lumuhod sa harap ko habang umiiyak
"Love! Tumayo ka dyan! Fine, I'll tell you but please umupo ka na sa tabi ko at wag kang gagawa ng pagsisisihan mo sa huli, pilitin mong patatagin loob mo, just remember I'm always here for you, okay?" sabi ko habang hawak ang magkabilang pisnge nya at nakatitig sa mata nyang puno ng iba't ibang emosyon
Inalalayan ko naman itong tumayo at pinaupo sa tabi ko
"Mom, same to you, I'm did not tell you about this because you will be hurt. But please, I promise you, they will pay for they did" sabi ko habang nakatitig kay Mom ng may pag-aalala at sya naman ay nakakunot ang noo sakin
"Love, your Mom. Tita Kristel was in love with Aki Mirabelles but because he run away with Shaine Hart-Mirabelles, she was hurt. And I think that's the reason why she cooperates with Annika's evil plans." Sabi ko habang nakatitig sa mata ni Aiden then tumingin ako kay Mom
"And Mom, remember when I told you we've been looking for the truth behind my foster parents and Mr. and Mrs. Mirabelles death? We just found them not long ago" sabi ko at yumuko ako bago ako magpatuloy ng pagsasalita
"It was Kristel Lee and Annika Gallio… The Mirabelles hid their identity for a long time from the industry, they used their power being the rank 1 billionaire, but Tita Kristel and Annika have doubted about them because they knew that Aki Mirabelles doesn't have any siblings and his father died a decade ago, but the Mirabelles Company are still on top and having its mysterious owner. They found them, 2 years ago and planned their death when we were going to the rest house of Mirabelles for a vacation" pilit kong pinapatatag ang loob ko at pilit na pinipigilan ang luha ko dahil hanggang ngayon ay ramdam ko pa rin ang sakit ng pagkawala nila.
Sorry Aiden, Mom. I still can't tell you the truth. I can't tell you that I'm the only heiress of Mirabelles Family.
"N-no… my sister, my bestfriend! No!" sigaw ni Mom habang umiiyak
"I'm sorry, Mom if I didn't tell you sooner" sabi ko at tuluyan ng tumulo ang luha ko
"W-why?" mahinang sambit ni Aiden sa gilid ko habang nakatulala
It was a chaos, both of them can't accept the truth and here I am being hurt again.
"I'm sorry, love. I shouldn't have told you, you're still on process of accepting the truth. I'm sorry" sabi ko at niyakap sya
"W-why? Why Mom did those? Why did she keep on destroying your family and keep on hurting you?!" sigaw na sabi nito at nagulat naman ako sa tanong nito. Why are you like that, Aiden? Despite of everything you found out about your Mom, ako pa rin ang iniisip at inaalala mo.
"I thought I can still meet my sister, Shaine and my bestfriend, Aki, who saved me from that burning house 2 decades ago" umiiyak na sabi ni Mom "I thought…" then bigla syang nahimatay at bumagsak ang katawan nya sa sofa
"Mom!" sigaw ko at tumakbo agada ko sa pwesto nya
"Love, please help me carry Mom upstairs" nag-aalalang sabi ko at kahit na wala pa rin sa tamang katinuan si Aiden ay tinulungan nya akong iakyat si Mom
Pagkatapos kong ayusin ang pagkakahiga si Mom at kumutan ay lumabas na kami ni Aiden sa kwarto ni Mom at hinila ko naman si Aiden papunta sa kwarto ko.
Pagpasok namin ay pinaupo ko sya sa kama ko at niyakap sya
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, love" sabi ko
"It's okay, you don't have to apologize. I'm the one who insist to know the truth. I'm sorry if that made Tita Scarlett passed out. I'm still hurt about the truth but don't worry I'll be fine. I'm sorry if you fought alone about the truth when you found out everything what my Mom did but I'm really thankful that you did not leave me knowing that it's my Mom who did those hurtful events in your life" sabi nito at niyakap ako ng mahigpit, naramdaman kong may tumulo sa balikat ko and I know he's crying again
"I was with my friends last week; I was with Candice and Sammy. They helped me overcome the pain. Sammy and I helped each other to ease the pain we have. My mind was in dilemma, I thought of breaking up with you and have revenge, but Sammy made me realize how much I really love you and I don't want to be apart from you. I don't want to lose another person I really love. I am thankful to Sammy, despite of the truth behind our parents' death, she didn't show any anger to you. She told me she will not involve you in her resentment toward your mother because you did not know anything about it, and she saw how sincere your love to me. And I am so lucky so have a friend like her." Nakangiti kong sabi habang nakayakap pa rin sa kanila
"Then I should really thank Ms. Mirabelles. She's so good to you." Sabi nito at humiwalay na sa yakap namin at hinawakan ang dalawang pisnge ko
"We're really like sisters, we grew up together and we helped each other" nakangiti kong sabi habang magkatitig ang mata namin
"I'll thank her when we meet again for stopping you to break up with me, but now I feel somewhat sad because you thought of leaving me. You didn't trust my words, I told you I will do everything for you, I will sacrifice everything for you" sabi nya at kita ko sa mata nya na nasasaktan talaga sya
"I'm sorry, but it's my feelings too that stopped me from leaving you. I love you, Aiden. I love you so much" sabi ko
"I love you too, Elle. I love you more than myself and anyone" sabi nito at hinalikan ako na syang tinugon ko naman agad
Dahan dahang bumagsak ang katawan ko sa kama habang nasa ibabaw ko sya. Palalim ng palalim ang halik nya at ang kamay nya dahan-dahang nililibot ang katawan ko habang sa maabot ang likod ko kung nasaan ang lock ng bra, tinanggal naman nya ang pagkakakawit nito at nang successful nyang matanggal ito at pinasok nya ang kamay nya sa loob ng bra ko at sinumulang i-massage ang dibdib ko
"Ahhh, I missed your touch love" sabi ko sa pagitan ng halik namin
"And I missed your body" sabi nito at dahan-dahang bumaba ang halik sa leeg ko
Tinaas niya ang damit at bra ko hanggang sa isubo nya ang isang dibdib ko habang minamasahe pa rin ang kabila. Napaarko naman ang katawan ko na naging dahilan ng mas pagdiin ng dibdib ko sa bibig nya. Napahawak ako sa buhok nya ng paglaruan nya ang n*pple ko sa loob ng bibig nya.
"Ohhh" ungol ko
"I want you, love" sabi nya at doon ako natauhan kaya bigla ko syang tinulak sa tabi ko
"No, I told you right? I still need to heal inside. We can't still make love, just wait for another 2-3 weeks"
"oh right! Argh! It's all Mom's fault!" galit na sabi nya ng maalala ang nangyari sakin naging dahilan kung bakit hindi maganda ang kalagayan ko ngayon
"It's alright love, she's still your mother, don't hate her too much. Ayokong magtanim ka ng galit sa kanya habang buhay mo" sabi ko habang yakap ko sya
"Let's rest now, masyadong maraming nangyari sa araw na ito. I know pagod ka na rin. Goodnight, love" dagdag ko at hinalikan sya
"Don't leave me again, love. Please, I want to see you beside me when I wake up tomorrow. Goodnight" sabi nito at hinalikan din ako bago tuluyang bumagsak ang talukap ng mata nya
Niyakap ko naman ng mahigpit ito tsaka pumikit na rin para matulog
