Kabanata 29
IT was a mess, malakas ang sigaw ko habang pinapanuod si Chance na nagmamadaling sinuot ang shirt niya at umakyat sa kama.
"S-sir, magpapaliwanag po ako—"
"Anong paliwanag! Hayop ka! Anong ginagawa mo sa anak ko?!" nNpatili ako nang ihagis ni Papa ang kawali sa pwesto ni Chance na kaagad ding nakaiwas.
"S-sir, mahal ko po ang anak n'yo—"
"Anong mahal, ikaw ang mahal ang pampaospital, gago!" Kuya Macky hissed and smacked Chance's butt with walis-tambo.
"Kuya!" I exclaimed horribly.
"Marcus, I'll—"
"Gago ka, akala ko gate crasher ka lang sa debut ng kapatid ko noon tapos bantay salakay ang hayop!" Kuya hissed and my eyes widened when Chance jumped out of the bed.
"Doll—"
"Anong doll! Manika ba 'yang anak ko?!" Nang makuha na ni Papa pabalik ang kawali niyang paniguradong nakuha niya sa kusina ko ay napasinghap ako.
"Papa—"
"Tara dito at papasabugin kita!" Papa exclaimed and Chance immediately vanished beside me, nakita ko ang unahan sa pagtakbo nina Kuya roon palabas.
"Pa!—"
"Manahimik ka, Darshana!" Papa said hissed kaya natikom ko ang bibig ko at nawala na ang dalawa sa paningin ko.
It was too quick, napatingin ako kay Cookie na pumalakpak pa roon at iginalaw ang kamay niya.
"Papa!" he said and tried dragging me with his moving body. "Papa! Watch Cookie!"
I was so lost and shocked kaya medyo matagal pa akong nakagalaw, kung hindi lang hinila ni Cookie ang buhok ko ay baka natulala lang ako.
"Aww, baby," I cooed and chuckled, kissing his cheek. "Mahal kita, anak, pero may pagkasadista ka."
"Mama! Papa Cookie!" he cluelessly insisted, pulling me towards the door.
"O-oh, alright!" I gave in and went out with him.
I was not that shock when I heard screams, halos masapo ko ang dibdib nang makitang nakaluhod na si Chance sa harapan nina Papa at si Mama na nakahawak lang sa sentido niya.
"S-sir, I'm sorry—" Chance said at napatili na lang ako nang suntukin siya ni Papa.
"Pa, ang mukha!" I screamed but his punch landed on Chance's cheek. Nakita ko ang pag-ngiwi ni Chance pero hindi siya nagreklamo at tinanggap iyon.
"Marcus! Hawakan mo 'yan!" Papa exclaimed. I grunted when Kuya seized his arms.
"Sige, Pa! suntukin mo—"
"Kuya! H'wag!" I exclaimed. "H'wag ang mukha!" I screamed but Papa punched his other cheek.
"Tang ina, kaya pala gusto ni Tinik manuntok?" Papa even muttered and gripped Chance's shirt. "Sarap pala sa feeling manuntok ng gago!"
"Pa!"
"Dash Rakiel!" Mama exclaimed pero hindi nakinig si Papa.
"Kuya! Papa!" I exclaimed. "Don't—"
"Marcus, paluin mo 'yang kapatid mo!" Papa growled kaya binitawan ni Kuya si Chance at lumapit sa akin dala ang walis-tambo niya.
My eyes widened, narinig ko ang hagikhik ni Cookie sa bisig ko.
"Palo, Mama! Palo!" he cheered happily.
"K-kuya, malaki na ako! Are you seriously—"
"When will you stop hiding secrets, huh?" Kuya said. "Tara dito nang matuto ka."
I squealed when he lifted the walis, narinig ko rin ang tawa ni Cookie na mayamaya'y nakikisigaw na habang tumatakbo ako.
"K-kuya! Sorry!" I exclaimed loudly, halos magpatintero kami ni Kuya sa sofa sa sala. I can hear Cho-choo's barks in the side.
"Hindi, tara dito—"
Mas sumigaw kami ni Cookie nang tumayo na si Kuya sa sofa para maabot kaming dalawa.
"Mama!" Cookie chirped. "Mama run!" he exclaimed loudly, even laughing, as if he's in a game.
"You kid—"
"Dash Rakiel! Marcus! Isa!" Mama's warning voice filled the room, stopping all of us.
"B-babe—" I heard Papa muttered.
"Marcus, tell your uncle I'll push through the annulment," Mama said coldly.
Nanlaki ang mata ko at sinilip siya at nahuling masama ang tingin niya kay Papa na natulala roon, naka-amba pang susuntukin si Chance na nakatumba na sa lapag.
"Mama—" Kuya called.
"Now," Mama scoffed strictly and my father straightened his back, glancing at our way.
"B-bakit mo hinahabol ang kapatid mo, Marcus Aristaeus?!" Papa hissed, wide eyes and stuttering at nakita ko ang gulat ni Kuya roon na napanganga.
"Sabi mo—"
"W-wala akong sinabi, ah!" he even denied, namumutla na.
"But you—"
"Baba r'yan!" Papa hissed then glanced at Chance who's almost lying on the floor with his bleeding lips, nakatulala kay Papa. "Ikaw!" he scolded.
Tumihim si Mama kaya umayos ng tayo si Papa at biglang umamo ang tingin.
"A-ayos ka lang, 'tol?" he asked Chance like a cute, tamed lion, offering his hand to my baby boy who only blinked at him.
"S-sir?" Chance asked, confused.
"Kunin mo ang kamay kong tukmol ka," halos tumabingi pa ang bibig ni Papa na halos tirisin na si Chance na nagulat sa pagbabago na naman ng ugali niya.
"Marcus, call your uncle Iñigo and tell him to process my request," utos ni Mama, tikwas ang kilay.
"S-sabi ko nga, tutulungan ko na..." Tumikhim si papa na siya pang kumuha sa kamay ni Chance para hilahin ito patayo.
"O-ouch..." Chance groaned when Papa pulled him up too hastily.
I swallowed when Chance touched his waist.
"Ang balakang ng baby boy ko!" I exclaimed and was about to run when I remembered Cookie.
"Kuya, ikaw muna rito," I said, giving him my chuckling son.
"Papa Macky!" Cookie cheered. Kuya smiled at him, akmang magsasalita si Kuya nang biglang dakmain ni Cookie ang buhok niya at hinila.
"Cole—"
"Cookie play!" Cookie just cheered kaya natawa ako sa itsura ng Kuya.
Minsan ang pagkasadista ng anak ko, blessing din. Buti nga sa 'yo. Pinalo mong walis-tambo ang baby bo ko?!
Napatingin ako sa tabi ni Mama at nakitang kasama nila si Dette, nakaupo sa gilid niya at may hawak na ice cream. She smiled cutely at me when she saw me looking, waving her hand.
"Hi, Ate..." she said, walang pakialam sa ganap sa paligid.
I wasn't that shock anymore when the boys got scolded by my mother. Nakaupo silang lahat sa sofa, magkakatabi si Kuya, Papa at Chance. Sa tabi ni Chance ay ako at si Dette naman ay nakikipaglaro kay Cookie at Cho-choo sa kwarto kasama si Alex.
"Babe, I was just—"
"Hindi na bata si Darshana." Mama's forehead creased. "Alam n'yo kung sinong isip-bata, kayong dalawa!" Napadaing na ang dalawa nang pitikin ni Mama ang noo nila.
I sighed, glanced at Chance beside me, he's looking at my mother, smiling. Hawak niya ang kamay ko, tila hindi alintana ang pasa sa may gilid ng pisngi niya at ang sugat sa labi niya.
Thank goodness, hindi masyadong napuruhan ang senior ko!
"Kaia, we're just concern," Papa tried to explain.
"Concern? Ano, bakit n'yo sinuntok ang bata?" ani Mama kaya napatikhim ako roon at nagtaas ng kamay, napatingin sila sa akin kaya ngumuso ako.
"Ay, Mama... hindi na bata ang senior ko," I informed and Chance's glare immediately pierced me.
"See?! That man is a fucking cradle snatcher!" Papa exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"H'wag mo akong ma-fucking-fucking d'yan, Dash Rakiel," Mama hissed. Napaayos ng upo si Papa at natakot.
"S-sorry..." Papa cleared his throat, "I was just telling you—"
"Shut up, Sandejas," she dismissed with a glare.
"O-opo, Sandejas," Papa said like a puppy kaya napairap na ako sa hangin.
"Under..." Kuya muttered kaya napasinghap si Papa.
"Excuse me?" he denied. "Hindi ako under sa Mama mo, ah!"
"Oh, hindi?" Namaywang si Mama at tinaasan siya ng kilay.
"S-sabi ko nga..." Papa cleared his throat and glanced at Chance. "Under kami rito, eh! 'Di ba, pre?!" He tapped Chance's back pero malakas iyon dahil narinig ko ang paghampas ng kamay niya at ang ngiwi ni Chance.
He squeezed my hand kaya napatingin ako kay Papa.
"Pa!" I hissed and Papa glanced at me innocently.
"What? I was just telling your man here na under kami!" he said, sa halip na mukha maamo ay mukhang lowkey na nananakot kaya kita ko ang paglunok ni Chance. "'Di ba?"
"O-opo..." Chance cleared his throat. "Of course, Sir."
"See?" Papa smirked, mukha proud pa pero nang masalubong ang tingin ni Mama ay napalunok at tumikhim. "Sabi ko nga."
He moistened his lower lip.
Mama shook her head, sinuklay niya bahagya ang nakalugay na buhok at namaywang bago sumulyap kay Chance.
"Are you Cookie's Dad?" Mama asked. Chance nodded.
"Yes, Ma'am," he said formally and squeezed my hand again kaya suminghap na ako at hinawakan ang kamay ni Chance pabalik at nagsalita.
"M-ma, mahal na mahal namin ang isa't-isa," I said desperately. "H'wag n'yo kami paghiwalayin, please!"
Nagulat silang lahat sa sinabi ko, mabilis nila akong nilingon kaya kinagat ko ang labi ko at hinila ng marahan si Chance, kunwari'y teary-eyed pa at kumurap-kurap ako.
"Luhod tayo," I whispered a bit at him and pulled his hand, marahang inangat ko ang katawan para lumuhod pero nagitla ako nang marahang hinila ako pabalik ni Chance.
I stared at him, confused but he shook his head at me, slowly touching my waist.
"Hmm?"
"You shouldn't be kneeling," he said and kissed my forehead.
My heart pounded at that, nagtaka ako nang tumayo siya. I even saw him touch his aching waist and stood just beside my mother.
My jaw dropped when slowly, he knelt down, lowering his head.
"Chance..." I muttered.
He didn't speak for a moment but I could see the tension in his shoulder.
"Mahal na mahal ko po ang anak n'yo at si Cookie, Mr. and Mrs. Sandejas, Marcus..." he confessed. My mouth parted. "M-mahal na mahal ko po sila. P-please, please let me make it up to them. S-sorry po kasi wala ako no'ng pinagbubuntis ni Darshana si Cookie."
"He... he didn't know, Ma, Pa," I said pero nanatili lang silang nakatitig kay Chance.
I saw my father's annoyed expression but he was listening to him.
"I beg you, Sirs, Ma'am. I hope you could give me a chance to make it up to my family." My heart fell when I saw his tears fall. "Mahal na mahal ko po s-sila, h-handa po akong gawin ang lahat. P-parang-awa n'yo na po..." he lowered his head.
"I was wrong . . . I've hurt Darshana," he apologized. Lumalim ang paghinga niya. "D-Delilah's my friend way back at ayaw ko man po, wala akong nagawa kundi ang makipagsabwatan sa kanyang saktan si Daru noon. Delilah was threatening to kill herself if I wouldn't help her."
"Chance . . ." I said, hindi natutuwang sinabi niya iyon.
"Delilah had a gun and was threatening to kill herself if I didn't agree to conspire with her in hurting Darshana. I didn't want anyone to get hurt, so I agreed. It was a lie. I would never hurt Daru; it was my way to stop Delilah, but unfortunately, I ended up hurting Daru, anyway."
"What?" Papa's tone darkened. "What the fuck are you saying?"
"I-I've hurt your daughter before, Sir. Kasama po ako noon ni Delilah. I have my reason, but that doesn't justify what I did to her. Nasaktan ko pa rin po siya—"
My breath got caught in my lungs when my father pulled his shirt and punched his cheek.
"Gago ka, ah!" Papa exclaimed angrily.
Hindi na ako nakaawat nang mawalan ng balanse si Chance at nahulog na sa sahig.
It was a mess. Kami pa nina Kuya ang umawat kay Papa na galit na galit na. Alam kong may mamumuong pasa sa mukha ni Chance at sakit sa katawan dahil sa pagbagsak niya sa lapag.
"Dash, calm down," ani Mama.
I pulled Chance up to let him sit beside me.
"How could I calm down? Eh, ang batang 'yan, nagpauto, 'tapos sasaktan ang anak ko?!" he exclaimed exaggeratedly, still angry about what happened before.
"Wow, Dash Rakiel! Ikaw ba, hindi?!" Mama pointed out at natigilan si Papa.
"Those are two different things—"
"In what way, aber?" Mama scoffed. "The kid was threatened. Kaibigan niya si Lilah kaya ayaw niyang makitang nananakot itong magpapakamatay sa harapan niya, 'tapos ikaw, pinakitaan ka lang ng pekeng papel ng DNA, naniwala ka na?"
Napatikhim na ako roon at inangat ang chin ni Chance para punasan ang dugo sa kanyang labi.
Oh... burn.
"Dash versus Chance. Sinong mas angat? Sinong mas uto-uto?" Kuya said boredly while crossing his arms on his chest, smirking.
"Ikaw!" Sinipa siya ni Papa pero humalakhak lang si Kuya at nakaiwas.
"Teka, let's make it clear..." ani Mama roon at naupo sa kaharap na sofa. Hinila niya ang nag-iinarte na si Papa at bumaling sa amin. "You're friends with the lady, hijo. Right?"
"Yes po." Chance nodded, napangiwi nang matamaan ko ng cotton ang sugat niya sa labi. "She's my old friend—baby, wait..." Natigilan ako nang hulihin ni Chance ang kamay ko sa may labi niya.
"I'll talk to them first. I love you, wait lang," he said and took my hand before filling the gaps with his fingers.
Bumaling siya kina Mama na pinapanuod kami, may ngiti sa mga labi. Si Papa ay nakabusangot at nakasandal doon sa sofa habang si Kuya na umalis kanina para silipin ang mga bata ay bumalik.
"She's my childhood friend, Ma'am, Sirs," Chance started.
"You mean, you knew her parents?" ani Kuya Macky na naupo sa may sofa katabi ni Papa na hindi pa maka-move on sa pagbusangot niya.
"My parents have talked to hers since she's my friend," ani Chance. "But as far as I remember guardian niya lang ang nakikita ko. I haven't seen her parents and I think ang nakausap ni Mama noon ay guardian niya lang din. If I remembered it right, her guardian's name is Maryan."
Oh, that was her mother sa birth certificate!
"How about a Rheallyn, Salcedo?" ani Papa na umayos ng upo. "Does that ring a bell?"
Chance's forehead creased, natahimik siya saglit at parang may naalala at nagsalita.
"If I wasn't mistaken, parang nasabi niya noon sa akin na may kapatid siyang pangalan ay Rhea. But I am not sure if it's the same one as yours." Napaisip pa siya. "She didn't elaborate. I am not sure but I think she was in jail?"
"Rhea?" I asked, confused. "Like Mom's?"
"No, princess but they sounded alike," Kuya told me at napaisip ako. I suddenly remembered that woman in the airport.
"Like what they found out," ani Papa roon. "Are you Chiel's insider, you asshole?"
"Uh, yes..." Chance cleared his throat. "I talked to him about this. Sorry for not speaking earlier, Sir."
"Rhea..." I suddenly muttered and lifted my gaze to my parents. "Pa?"
"Yes, princess?" Papa asked.
"Someone talked to me in the airport," I said, thinking. "She said she's a family friend and she has the name Rhea."
Napatingin sa akin si Chance, I saw how shocked my family are when they heard it.
"What? Did she hurt you, Darshana?" mariing sabi ni Papa pero bakas ko ang pag-aalala. I immediately shook my head, my heart started pounding inside my chest.
Was it the same woman they were talking about?
"No, the guard came and when I glanced back at her, she went away. She told me to take care. She feels scary, she has that dark aura on her," I told him and Mama closed her eyes tightly. Umigting ang panga ni Papa.
"She got the maximum penalty for attempter murder," Papa started. "Kuya made sure to do it with her family who helped her do this. I made sure they are penniless when they got out, sila nina Cindy, ang Mommy niya and... fuck, how could they still do this?"
"That Rheallyn, Papa. She was your ex-fiancée, right?" I asked. He nodded.
"Yes, nagkaproblema ang airlines noon na kinailangan ko ng tulong. They have an oil company so they are a big help but she planned everything, siya ang dahilan kung bakit ako nabulag, kung bakit muntik na akong mamatay dati." Papa sighed. "And now, they got out of jail and... fuck."
Mama sighed, hinaplos niya sa braso ni Papa kaya sumandal si Papa sa kanya at bumuntonghininga.
"I have to fix this, Kaia," Papa said, "I have to protect our family, I have to take her family and Rheallyn Lejez back to jail."
I froze, tila binuhusan ng malamig na tubig sa narinig.
"W-what is it, Papa?" I asked at napasulyap sa akin ang Papa. "The surname... what is his surname?"
"Lejez," Papa confirmed. I was stunned, sick to the stomach. Natigilan din si Chance na parang may natanto at mabilis na humarap sa akin.
"Is he..." Chance muttered and I slowly nodded, nanginig na ako at nag-umpisa nang mahulog ang luha.
"C-Chase Lejez..." I said and glanced at my father na napatayo na. "I-I knew a man the same with her surname and h-he harassed me..."
Nakita ko ang pagtigas ng ekspresyon ni Papa, si Mama ay mariing napapikit doon.
"I'll call Zion," ani Kuya na umalis na at mas nanghina ako nang mabilis akong higitin ni Chance at niyakap. I gasped, buried my face on his neck and cried. He cursed, hugging me tighter.
"I'll protect you, okay?" he promised. I felt him move then glanced at my family. "Sir, I'm begging you, please let me help you take them back to jail."
Everyone's frantic and alert, kaagad akong naligo at nag-ayos habang nakikipag-usap si Chance kina Papa. They're good now, I think, nalinis ko na rin naman ang sugat niya kaya magiging ayos din iyon.
"Mama, okay ikaw?" Cookie asked when he noticed my silence, inaayos ko ang damit niya.
"Opo, baby." I smiled at him, "Mama's just thinking of something, hmm? I'm okay."
"Papa palo Daddylo," kwento niya kaya napatawa ako.
"What? Ikaw ang nagsumbong, ano?" I asked him gently. His eyes widened.
"No! No!" He shook his head. "'Te Alex..." aniya sa Yaya niya kaya napasulyap ako kay Alex na nanlaki ang mata sa akin.
"Naku, pasensya na, Ma'am." She laughed awkwardly. "Nakita po kasi ni Sir ang sapatos ni Sir Chance sa labas tapos tinanong niya ako, hindi ko po alam na secret pala kaya sabi ko kay Sir Chance po na kasama n'yo sa kwarto."
"Daddylo said Cookie cry-cry..." ani bigla ni Cookie kaya napabaling ako sa kanya at hinaplos ang pisngi niya.
"What, baby?"
"Ah, si Sir po, Ma'am," ani Alex na ngumisi pa. "Inuto si Cookie na magkunwaring umiiyak kapalit po ng cookies."
I shifted my gaze to my son who smiled at me cutely.
"Cookie want cookies!" he raised his hand kaya nailing na lang ako't inangat siya para paliguan ng halik.
We all went to the ancestral house to have a quick meeting, umalis daw si Delilah sa mansyon ngayon na pinapasundan nina Papa sa tauhan nina Tito Zeijan.
Tito Iñigo and Kuya Chiel asked me the details about Chase na kaagad ko naman i-kinwento. After that, they called Adira and she talked to me on how the case would take place.
Adira is an advocate of women's rights kaya hindi na siya nahirapan sa pagsabi sa akin ng mangyayari na laking ipinagpasalamat ko.
Cookie is playing with Dette, si Queen ay nasa school pati na rin ang kambal kaya walang kalaro ang anak ko kung hindi ang Tita niya.
"Will you be alright?" I asked Chance when I saw him checking the gun.
He glanced at me, nakita ko ang band aid sa mukha niya kaya nanlumo. "Aww, sayang naman ang face ng baby boy ko."
"I'm alright, doll." Chance reassured. "'Di bale nang mabugbog, basta kapalit ang mag-ina ko," he said and lowered his head to kiss me when we heard someone clearing his throat.
"Zeijan-beybe, may bala na ba 'tong baril? Parang gusto kong i-testing sa nag-mukbang ng labi ng anak ko, ah," Papa warned kaya mabilis kaming naghiwalay ni Chance.
"Mayro'n, Dash-beybe. Kasa mo lang tapos try mo." Ngisi pa ni Tito Zeij at tinapik si Chance na namumutla na roon.
"Sir—"
"Pa, paano mo nalaman ang mukbang?" I asked, confused and he raised his brow at me and pouted.
"Kasi, gawain namin 'yan ng Mama mo—" He pointed out kaya nalaglag ang panga ko.
"Dash Rakiel!" Mama hissed somewhere, napadaing si Papa nang tamaan ang likod niya ng sandals ni Mama at mabilis na nilingon ako at nag-peace sign.
"Joke lang, princess." He smiled pero nawala ang ngisi nang makita si Chance na nakangisi rin sa kanya at umirap.
"Hindi pa tayo tapos, Salcedo. Hindi pa rin ako makamove-on na may apo na ako kay Darshana dahil sa 'yo!" Papa pointed his eyes and back to Chance's bago nakabusangot na umalis, hinabol na si Mama na sinesermunan na naman siya.
They found out Delilah went into a deserted warehouse an hour away from the city, wala pang may alam kung anong ginagawa niya roon, o kung sino ang kanyang kasama. They are suspecting na baka kasama nito si Rheallyn doon o sina Cindy Lejez na Mommy nila.
"I'm just gonna check on the twins, princess," ani Kuya Macky nang mapansin ko siyang nag-aalala roon sa gilid at tahimik.
"Why, Kuya? Nasa school ang kambal, ah?" I asked. He nodded at me, checking his phone again.
"Yes but ngayon ko lang nakita na pinauwi sila ng maaga because of a meeting, I didn't notice my phone. Pinapunta ko na ang driver para sunduin ang dalawa," he said and closed his eyes tightly. "Fuck, I should've checked my phone every damn time!"
"What about guards, Kuya?" I asked him. "'Di ba, may guards ang kambal?"
"Yes..." he said and sighed. "But I couldn't contact them. Damn it."
"Hindi naman nagpapalabas ang guard ng students kapag walang sundo, right?" I asked worriedly.
He nodded.
"Yes... but I have to make sure," Kuya said kaya napatango na ako, kinakabahan na rin sa naiisip na sana'y 'di mangyari.
"The damn Chase Lejez..." ani bigla ni Kuya Zy na ipinakita sa amin ang kanyang laptop.
I saw Chance stopped from talking to my cousins, kaagad siyang lumapit sa pwesto ko at nang nagkatinginan kami ay pumirmi ang palad niya sa baywang ko.
"What about it?" Chance asked. Kuya Zion shook his head and pointed at something.
"He's undocumented," aniya. "His name is nowhere to be found in the database, he wasn't working as a manager in the museum like Daru told us, he came to check Daru out. He's a stalker, Darshana."
I stiffened. Naramdaman ko ang paghigpit ng hawak sa akin ni Chance. My heart hammered painfully. I saw the anger in Chance's eyes kaya humawak ako sa balikat niya para kalmahin din siya.
"Look here." He pressed a footage and I saw myself going out of the airport. I gasped when I saw Chase peeking from somewhere. "He's been eyeing you for a while, Darshana."
"Where is he now, Zion?" Papa asked, nakapamaywang.
"He's in the hiding," ani Kuya. "But we found him earlier and guess what? He's going somewhere and here's something more interesting, he's on his way to the warehouse too. Where Delilah is."
"I knew it," Papa blurted. "But what's his connection to Rheallyn?"
"Mga gago..." Natigilan kami nang lumitaw si Tito Zeijan na may ipinakita sa amin. "Dash-beybe, look." He said and showed us the file.
"What's that?" Papa asked.
"Here's the damn twist, Dash." Tawa ni Tito Zeijan. "Chase Lejez is Rhea's son."
Natahimik kaming lahat doon.
"How did that happen?" ani Tita Zidney na lumapit na. "We'll know if she gave birth in the jail, Kuya. How can this be hidden from us?"
"Yeah, here's the thing, everyone," ani Tito. "'Di ba, hindi siya nakapunta kaagad para bantayan si Dash no'ng nabulag?"
They nodded, nakita ko si Mama na mukhang nagtataka rin doon.
"The reason why she couldn't come that time and Reah-tot has to come and take care of you instead, isn't because she's still studying or something. She couldn't come because she just gave birth abroad and that's Chase."
We were all stunned pero mas gulat sina Papa roon.
His mouth was parted, stunned.
"This is undocumented to not stain her name to our family, alam mo namang kapag nalaman 'to nina Daddy at Mommy noon ay hindi mangyayaring ipapakasal siya sa 'yo."
I saw how my father gripped Mama's hand, akmang magsasalita si Papa nang biglang lumapit sa amin si Kuya, balisa at namumutla.
"Pa..." he said, looking terrified and his expression sent shivers all over my spine.
"Marcus?" ani Papa at nanghina ako nang maluha si Kuya.
"They... they got my twins," he said and my knees gave in.
Everyone's panicking, hindi na makausap si Kuya sa galit niya. They immediately dispatched people to check on the twin's guards only to find out they were dead if not injured by a sniper.
Kuya received a message, telling him they got the kids. They warned my brother not to bring the police with him as they gave him an address. It was a kidnap for ransom, they're asking fifty million in exchange for the twin's life.
"Watch..." Biglang umayos ng tayo si Kuya Zion nang may maalala, I saw his eyes brightenedt. "Their watch has a tracker!"
"Your gift..." Kita ko ang pag-angat ng tingin ni Kuya Macky sa kanya. "The watch has..."
"Yes, we can also hear them!" he said. "I gave it to them just in case, fuck, mabuti na lang pala!" ani Kuya na mabilis kaming iniwan para mag-locate nasaan na ang dalawa ngayon.
I remembered Kuya Zion giving the kids watches way back last Christmas. I thought it was nothing but... shit, I should've let Cookie wear that!
Sa sobrang pag-aalala ko sa kambal na parang mga anak ko na rin ay walang nakapigil sa aking sumama sa kanila. We made sure everyone in the family is safe, they fetched Queen from school and brought her to the ancestral. Everyone is there and they doubled the security while we travel to the said warehouse.
We planned on letting Kuya Macky get inside first with the money and that's where they'll attack. We made sure no one could see a back-up coming kaya sa ibang daan kami dumaan at hinayaan si Kuya.
"Here..." Kuya Zion inside the van called our attention, he clicked on the laptop and we heard voices.
"Manahimik ka nga, bata!" I shivered when I heard a man's voice.
"No! I said I want to eat, I'm hungry!" I heard Sky's annoyed voice in the other line.
"Anong kain? Walang kakain! Malapit na tayo—"
We heard Sky and Sunny making weird, annoying voices.
"Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!" they both screamed kaya nagkatinginan kami sa loob ng sasakyan.
"They don't sound scared to me," ani Tito Zeij na napakurap pa.
"The kids are smart," ani Papa Dash na nagtago ng ngiti. "I'm sure they're thinking of ways how to lure the kidnappers. Can you please tell this to Marcus so he won't panic?"
Mama nodded and took her phone.
"Walang pagkain nga rito, mga bata!"
"I want macaroons!" Sky exclaimed, as if everything's normal and the snob kid is just on his tantrums.
"Anong maca—tang ina, ano 'yan? Pagkain ba 'yan?!"
"Macaroons! I said I want macaroons!" Sky demanded in his annoyed and mad voice.
"Wala ngang macaroons, tang ina! Manahimik kayo!" I heard him screaming to the twins, pissing me off. "Gago sa lahat kasi ng kikidnapin mga batang mayayaman pa! Tang ina, napakaarte—"
"We're not maarte, ah?" I heard Sunny's bratty, annoyed voice.
"Manahimik ka!"
"Why would I stay silent when my brother's hungry?! I am hungry too! We want macaroons!" she exclaimed at halos matawa na ako sa taray ng boses niya.
Nakita ko ang pag-iling ni Papa, natatawa at sina Kuya Zion ay napatawa rin.
"Brave twins," he said.
"Tang—puta, itigil mo nga d'yan sa fast food nang makabili ng pagkain ng mga maarte na 'to!" I heard the kidnapper exclaiming. "Walang macaroons! Mag-burger kayo, mga maarte!"
"Oh, okay..." Sunny said. "We want po extra ketchup, ah? And paki-tell po sa counter to remove some veggies sa burger kasi ayaw po namin ni Sky ng veggies."
"Oh, tignan mo, Dash Rakiel? Pati mga apo mo!" Kinaltukan ni Mama si Papa na bumungisngis sa tabi kahit kinakabahan at napailing.
"Napakaarte! Bilhan ko kayo ng Angel's burger d'yan, eh!" Reklamo ng isa at narinig ko ang pagbukas ng pintuan ng sasakyan. "Tang ina, sisingilin ko talaga ang mga Lejez ng pinangbili ko ng burger ng mga batang 'to!"
We heard the closing of the door and silence filled everyone until we heard a voice.
"Mga bata, sino ba magulang n'yo?" We heard a man asking the two but he got no answer. "Hoy, mga bata, tinatanong ko kayo!"
"We don't talk to strangers, Mister," Sky answered coldly. We tried so hard not to laugh.
"Ang tatapang naman ng mga apo ko..." Papa said proudly.
Dumating na ang bumili ng burger, we heard the starting engine and they were silent at first until we heard the kids speaking again.
"I wanted to pee," ani Sky na maldito na naman.
"Anong pee?" The kidnapper asked.
"It's pee po, like iihi po, Kuya Kidnapper," Sunny explained. "And I want to pee rin po."
"Hindi, pigilan n'yo 'yan at malapit na tayo!"
"No, we can't," Sky said. "We can't stop our pees, what if our bladder will explode?"
"Tang... anong bladder?!"
"Pantog po, Kuya Kidnapper. Kapag po kasi nagpigil po ng wiwi—"
"Gago, ang iingay n'yo. Hindi, malapit na tayo! 'Di pa ba kayo masaya sa burger na 'yan at—"
"I'll remember your face, Mister," Sky said coldly. "If ever our bladder will explode, we will be hospitalized and no one will pay our bills but you. I'll sue you."
My jaw literally dropped hearing that comment.
They're very smart.
"Huh! Yabang ng batang ito, hoy, bata! Asul lang 'yang mata mo kaya pogi ka! Tapang mo, ah? Wala kang galang sa nakakatanda."
"Edi po." Sky said sarcastically. "I'll sue you po kasi we have lawyers po in the family po."
"Aba't—"
"I'll testify din, Kuya Kidnapper! I'll tell them you didn't let us pee kaya sumabog po ang bladder namin! Po!" Sunny hissed and we heard how frustrated the kidnappers are with them.
"Oo na! Oo na!" he exclaimed. "Facundo, itigil mo ang sasakyan sa gasolinahan nang mapaihi 'tong mga batang maarte!"
We heard the opening of the door, we heard them walking at mayamaya'y may nagsalita.
"Oh, bilis! Dumiretso kayo sa sasakyan pagkatapos, ah! Yosi lang ako!" the man said and when the two of them were left, nagkatinginan na kami.
"Zeijan..." Papa said and Tito nodded.
"They're watching the twins, kukunin nila," ani Tito Zeij, tinutukoy ang tauhan niya.
"S-Sky, I'm scared..." I almost teared up when I heard them talking.
"We'll get away, Sunny, okay?" I heard Sky's comforting voice. "Don't be scared, I'll protect you."
"O-okay..." Sunny's voice shook. "T-tatakas ba tayo? Like do'n sa mga palabas na nunuod natin sa house nina Ninong Zy?"
"Yes," Sky answered. "No one is there, let's hide behind the parked cars and leave. I have Papa's number with me, we can call him after we hide."
Oh my God... Mga pamangkin ko.
"Okay, when I say one... two... go!" Sky signaled and I heard the door opening.
We were so scared, thinking of what might happen to the kids. I saw Tito Zeij talking at narinig namin ang mahinang singhapan ng mga bata at ang pagtango ni Tito Zeij sa amin.
"They got them," he confirmed and we all heaved a relaxed sigh, glad the kids were finally safe.
"Call Marcus. Now."
Still, we pushed through the warehouse. We saw a few people outside, maybe their guards. Nakita ko ang paghahanda ng mga kasama kong lalaki sa sasakyan.
"Stay here, okay?" ani Chance na inaayos ang shirt niyang suot.
"Yes..." I nodded and sighed. "Take care, okay? Do you... do you know how to use guns?"
"Yes." He touched my chin. "I'm licensed. Don't worry, doll. I'll take care." He kissed my head.
We heard my father clearing his throat, napatingin kami sa kanya at nakitang masama ang tingin niya kay Chance. Kaagad kaming naglayo, Mama smacked his arm kaya ngumuso si Papa bago humalik sa kanya.
"I'll be back, babe," Papa said. "I'll take them all back to jail."
Kasama nila ang mga tauhan sa agency nina Tito Zeij. Even Tito Iñigo and Kuya Chiel helped. My Papa is with Chance too. 'Di ako mapakali habang nasa sasakyan lang at nag-aantay.
"Mama, are you okay?" I asked my worried mother.
"Yes, Daru." She said and sighed. "I'm just afraid for them, I got traumatized before when I thought your father was dead. Ayoko na ng gano'n, anak. Natatakot na ako."
I embraced her to offer warmth and comfort.
For a moment, it was all eerily quiet and calm until we heard the sound of gunshots inside. It was terrifying and scary. Mama was so nervous that she got out of the car to get some fresh air, nakita kong may nakaantay na guards kaya hindi ako natakot para sa kanya.
I was silently praying for everyone's safety dahil naririnig ko pa rin ang putok ng baril. I went out, trying to get a signal to call our house when I caught someone.
From my view, I saw Delilah running from the back of the warehouse, escaping. My heart pounded, bumaling ako sa mga guards na kasama ni Mama sa kabila at akmang sasabihin ang nakita pero natakot na makawala si Delilah kaya wala nang dalawang salita at mabilis na tumakbo para habulin na siya.
I saw how her eyes widen when she saw me approaching.
"H'wag kang lalapit!" she exclaimed while looking at me, reason why she tripped and fell on the ground. Dinamba ko na siya para pigilan pero mabilis niyang nahablot ang buhok ko at hinila.
"You bitch, let me go!" She screamed out loud and scratched me.
"Tatakas ka, ha?! Tatakas ka!" I exclaimed and pulled her hair too.
"Let me go! Let me—" She pulled me more. I gasped, scratching her back. Natulak niya ako at nakatayo, akmang tatakbo palapit nang mahablot ko ang buhok niya pabalik sa akin.
"How dare you hurt my family?! How dare you fool us?!"
"Because your family ruined mine!" She screamed back and took a handful of my hair. "Dahil sa pamilya mo, nakulong ang akin! Dahil sa 'yo—"
"Your family started this! Your sister almost killed my father!"
"Serves him right, then! Sayang at 'di natuluyan!" she gasped when I scratched her skin. "Rhea should've kill him personally after choosing your whore of a mother—" pumaling ang ulo niya sa sampal ko.
"Don't you dare say something like that to my mother!" I screamed and pushed her.
"Fuck you! You know what?! I should've killed that bitch in her sleep when I was in the house—" I scratched her and pulled her hair.
"Darshana!" I heard my Chance's voice after a while pero nagsisigawan lang kami ni Delilah sa galit sa isa't-isa.
"C-Chance, Chance, help me!" Lilah growled. "S-she's hurting me!"
"Boba! Galingan mo pa sa pag-arte!" I screamed in her face.
"Chance! Help me—" Halos magwala na ako nang kinuha ako ni Chance mula sa lapag at pagdagan kay Lilah. Our men were stopping Delilah too, holding her arms so she couldn't resist.
"Let me go!" she screamed but her eyes widened when she saw Chance on my side, touching my waist to stop me from attacking her. "C-Chance..." she called. "B-bakit siya ang kinakampihan mo?! I am your friend! I am your best friend! Your girlfriend! Bakit d'yan ka sa malanding 'yan?!"
"Don't," Chance said dismissively. "Quit calling her names, Delilah."
"Bakit, totoo naman, ah?!" she exclaimed. "Malandi iyan! Mas maganda naman ako sa babaeng 'yan! She took my family from me, Chance! She took—"
"I never took anything from you, Delilah!" I exclaimed back, seething in anger. "Your family did this to us! You started this first!"
"No! Chance is mine, okay?!" she exclaimed loudly. "Your family is mine! Lahat ng sa 'yo, akin!"
Lumambot ang mata niya at lumambing ang boses nang kay Chance na ang pansin. "Chance, h'wag ka na magalit sa akin, magkabalikan na tayo, please."
"I don't know you anymore, Delilah." Chance sighed and shook his head. "I never thought you could be like this. You are not my friend anymore."
"What? No!" She screamed, naiiyak na't nagwawala habang dinuduro ako. "Kasalanan mo 'to! Kung hindi ka dumating sa buhay niya e 'di sana ako pa rin! He's mine! Mang-aagaw!"
"I never took anything from you, Delilah," I retorted. "That's what you get when you mess with my family. No one messes with Sandejas' and gets away with it. No one."
She was screaming when police came and took her away, I still can't calm down, remembering what the Lejezes did to our family.
How could they plan something like this? How could they hurt people like this when in the first place, sila ang nag-umpisa ng lahat ng kaguluhan noon pa man?
"Hey, Darsh... look at me..." Natauhan lang ako na kasama ko pala si Chance nang sapuin niya ang pisngi ko at hinanap ang mata ko. "Calm down, okay?"
I was running after my breath and his presence, it made me soften.
"C-Chance..." My tears started falling. My emotions in haywire, mixing with sadness, pain, shock and fear for my loved once.
"Hmm, it's me, okay? I'm here..." she said gently and I got terrified when I saw a bloodstain on his arm.
"What..." My mouth parted, mabilis kong hinuli ang kamay niya at tinignan. "Are you okay? W-what happened?"
"Daplis lang..." he said and slowly pulled me to him, hugging me with his uninjured arm and kissed my forehead. "I'm fine, doll, hmm? I'm fine, I love you."
I gasped, hugged him back tightly to calm myself down.
I was relieved when I saw my family safe, they have minor injuries, but they are safe. Kaagad na hinanap ng mata ko si Mama na wala sa paligid kaya mabilis akong lumapit kay Papa.
"Pa, si Mama?" I asked. He smiled at me and pointed the warehouse.
"Inside the warehouse, princess... with Rheallyn," he informed. Namilog ang mata ko.
"Huh?! Paano kapag napahamak si Mama?!"
"No, silly." He chuckled and messed with my hair. "She requested kung p'wede raw bang sampolan si Rheallyn and I said, yes. May mga tauhan sa loob, I made sure your mother won't get hurt."
I was so worried at my Mom, lalo na dahil dinig na dinig ko ang tili ni Rheallyn sa loob ng warehouse. Chance is behind me, hugging my waist from the back and resting his chin on my shoulder.
"She'll be alright, baby doll..." he whispered after a while and I sighed, still worried pero nawala iyon nang lumabas na si Mama sa warehouse, magulo ang buhok pero walang sugat, inuunat pa niya ang kamay at pinatunog ang daliri niya.
"Grabe, ano? Sarap pala sa feeling ng makasuntok?" ani ni Mama na may matamis na ngiti, parang 'di makabasag pinggan. Napanganga ako nang makita ang pamilyar na mukha ni Rheallyn Lejez sa likod, nakaposas, magulo ang buhok at putok ang labi sa suntok ni Mama.
Everyone is eager to come home to check on the twins, lalo na si Kuya na nakatulala lang sa biyahe. When we got home, I immediately ran inside, afraid the twins might be traumatized for what happened to them but what I saw next put my heart at ease.
I caught the kids, inside the kitchen. Ang kambal ay nakikipagkwentuhan kina Tita sa adventure nilang dalawa, tunog masaya pa habang kumakain ng macaroons.
It wasn't the first and either the last challenge our family had gone through. A lot of things had happened after that pero kapag nasa punto na kami ng pagsuko ay may isang miyembro ng pamilyang magiging malakas para sa lahat at muli kaming aangat.
Fluctuat nec mergitur. It is tossed by the waves but it does not sink.
That's our family's motto.
Ang pamilya nami'y tila isang maliit na bangka na tangayin man ng alon, mapasukan man ng tubig ay hindi lumulubog dahil sa tibay ng pagkakagawa.
It was like of that deep-rooted tree Mama Lena is saying before, na kahit tangayin man ang lupa sa ilalim ay hindi matitibag dahil malalim ang ugat. Ang lalim ng mga ugat na iyon ay ang nagsilbing pundasyon para manatiling nakatayo ang katawan ng puno, mga dahon, bulaklak, pati na rin ang mga bunga nito.
We found out the Lejez's got a backup from their family in which Tito Zeij detected and later on, pinabagsak at nakasuhan.
The Lejez family got inside the jail again, Chase Lejez was caught, I didn't even feel any guilt while seeing him get beaten up by Chance, my brother and my Papa Dash. After he harassed me? Mercy isn't a thing with harassment. There's no excuse to people acting animals like that.
Delilah was placed in a strict, mental facility. Rheallyn Lejez with her whole family were jailed for fraud and murder for people they killed, a life sentence, without a possibility of parole.
The next months were hard because of what happened to Kuya Marcus but everything will always be fine, I always believe that.
Ako ang naging madalas na guardian ng kambal dahil sa nangyari kay Kuya at dahil wala si Storm.
When my parents with Dette went to abroad for a vacation, ako ang naging Nanay ng dalawa. Noong nasa ibang bansa sina Papa para mag-refresh at ayusin ang sa kanila ni Mama, sa mga gulong nanggaling sa problemang dala ng mga Lejez, they started to make up with everything.
"Doll, tayo na ba ulit?" Chance whispered when we're alone again, yakap niya ako sa likod at hinahalikan ang pisngi ko.
"Ay hindi..." I said, smirking at him to look back.
"H-huh?" he blinked, "I thought we're okay now? Bati na tayo, right? And I was a good boy."
"Nah..." ngumisi ako at pinitik ang ilong niya. "Kulang pa 'yong luhod mo sa Quiapo, eh. Kapag kompleto mo na at saka na tayo official."
"A-ano ba tayo ngayon?" aniyang namumutla na.
"Hmm, friends..." I teased when his mouth parted.
"But we're doing mukbang, akala ko ba manliligaw na ako?" he asked, looking so lost now. "Aren't I promoted?"
"Oh, edi suitor with benefits." I smiled cutely at him.
Akala ko nga'y lalaban pa but he sighed and nodded, giving in. His brown eyes twinkled when he moved his body closer to mine.
Ikinulong niya ako sa bisig niya, he placed both of his arms on my side. He looked down at me with his beautiful sleepy gaze.
"Ilan pa ba ang gusto mong luhod ko sa Quiapo?" he asked. "Parang hindi ko kaya ang milyon, doll. Baka bumigay na ang tuhod ko kakagano'n, paano na ang mukbang?" he asked huskily, slowly moving his finger on my shoulder.
Bumilis ang paghinga ko, lalo na nang mahulog ang strap ng pantulog ko at nagpatak na siya ng halik doon.
"A-ah... ilan na ba nagawa mo?" I asked, licking my lip.
"One thousand two hundred thirty," he informed. "P'wedeng tawad?" He slowly cupped my butt and squeezed it kaya umawang na ang labi ko.
"O-okay... dagdagan mo na lang ng one thousand." I cleared my throat. His lip twitched, kissing me a bit pero bago pa man ako makahalik ay inilayo na niya ang mukha sa akin.
"Chance, are you—"
"Okay, dear." He smirked and pinched my nose. "Very nice."
I gasped, cursing when he slowly knelt in front of me.
"S-santisima... mahabagin," I breathed shakily when I saw him lick his lower lip and raised my exposed leg on my shoulder, staring at that part. "Are you going—"
"Eat you?" he looked up to me, his dimples showing when he smiled. "Yes, dear. I'll eat you hard until you scream nothing but my name."
Napakurap ako pero tumango na rin pagkaraan at halos sabunutan na siya nang hawiin niya ang undies ko at halikan ako sa ibaba.
"You like this, huh?" he asked, licking me and I gasped, nodding.
"Y-yes, dear. Very nice," I cried, napasinghap na at tumirik na ang mata.
Karupukan is life but mukbang with senior citizen is lifer...
Chance is a hands-on father, hindi man sila gano'n pa ka-close ni Papa ay formal sila sa isa't-isa, noong um-attend si Chance ng kasal nina Philie, ang pediatrician na naging doktor ni Cookie at Angelo na bestfriend-slash-cousin niya ay naiwan sa akin ang mga bata. He asked me to come pero hindi ako nakasama dahil sa flights ko.
There are times I'd ask Scira to babysit the kids if I have flights, kapag uwi ko ay kukunin ko ang mga bata sa kanya. Wala namang reklamo ang pinsan ko, she likes it anyway because the kids likes her and she loves spoiling them.
Madalas ako sa bahay nina Kuya dahil ayaw nga niyang masyadong pabantayan sa mga yaya ang mga bata at ayaw din naman ng mga batang gano'n. I asked the twins to stay in my house for a while kaya pumunta ako sa kanila para magpaalam kay Kuya at kumuha ng gamit ng dalawa.
Pagpasok ko pa lang ay kaagad kong naamoy ang mabango sa kusina. My forehead creased, I saw the maids inside, may binabantayan sa oven kaya nagtaka na ako.
"Anong luto n'yo?" I asked.
"Hello, Ma'am!" She smiled. "Ay, hindi po kami, pinabantayan lang po kasi nagluto ng macaroons si Ma'am Storm."
My forehead creased.
"What? She's back?" I asked and they nodded at me.
"Opo, Ma'am. Nagulat din kami," sagot niya. "Tinanong po kaagad ang mga bata at nag-bake ng macaroons, gulat nga po ako kasi hindi naman po siya gumagalaw sa kusina dati."
"Where is she?" My forehead creased. She pointed to the stairs.
"Nasa taas po, Ma'am," aniya at mabilis na akong umakyat.
My forehead creased when I saw her getting out of my brother's room. Nagsalubong ang kilay ko at mabilis na naglakad palapit sa kanya.
"Storm." I called coldly and she froze, I saw her shock at first at akmang aalis nang tinawag ko ulit.
"Storm!" I called again and she glanced at my way, looking scared at first.
"A-ako?" she asked and pointed herself at tumaas ang kilay ko.
"Yes, may iba pa bang Storm rito?" I asked, my forehead creasing.
"Ah..." She cleared her throat. "Sorry, Darshana."
Nakita kong tumungo siya kaya napataas ang kilay ko.
"Look at me," I demanded and slowly she did, I noticed the fear in her eyes but I care less. "Did you come back for good?" mariing sabi ko.
She nodded.
"Yes, I'm sorry if I was g-gone... uh, may emergency lang," she said and I shook my head at her, disappointed.
Maniniwala pa ba 'ko? Sinungaling naman ang babaeng 'to.
"Is that so? I hope you got your mind right now. Nanay ako kaya alam ko ang pakiramdam ng mga bata, if you came back for good then make sure of it. Ayokong lulubog at lilitaw ka lang kung anong gusto mo. Isipin mo ang anak mo, ang asawa mo, ang Kuya ko." I pointed out. "Hindi ka na single para isipin lang ang sarili mo."
Nakita ko ang takot muli sa mata niya at ang lungkot doon.
"Sorry, Daru, I'm—"
"I don't care of your reasons, okay?" I scoffed. "Ang gusto ko ay maging responsable ka dahil pamilyado ka ng tao. Look at what happened to my brother. Looked at the twins, they're looking for a family. Tandaan mo 'to, isang beses ko pang malaman na mawawala ka na naman at iiwan ang Kuya at mga anak mo, hindi na ako magdadalawang-isip na ipaghiwalay kayo. Ilalayo ko sa 'yo ang mga bata at ang Kuya ko, naiintindihan mo?"
I saw her teary eyes as she nodded at me and swallowed.
"H-hindi na ako aalis, sorry..." she said like a lost kitten. Maaawa na sana ako pero alam kong arte niya lang ito, ma-pride ang babaeng 'to kaya hindi niya ako mauuto sa ganyang mukha.
"I don't know why my brother married you," I spat. She lowered her head.
"I'm sorry..." She sighed. "Just... just please, don't take the kids away from me. Don't take Marcus away from me."
Iniwan ko siya roong tulala at naiiyak. I may be rude but that's what she get for being an irresponsible mother and wife. Dahil sa kanya ay nagkagano'n ang Kuya, dahil sa kanya ay malungkot ang mga bata at hindi ko iyon mapapalagpas.
Days passed and the kids went back home. They're aloof at their mother, lalo na si Sky na tahimik lang and I understand them. Madalas ay binibisita ko sila roon sa kanila.
My phone beeped after I was done with my flight, kaagad ko iyong binuksan at nakita ang message sa Instagram.
AnonymousCutie_69: hi dear..were here,
Attached is a photo of him and our Cookie in the waiting area of the airport. May hawak silang donut at si Cookie ay may chocolate drink. Their dimples are showing, parang pinagbiyak na bunga.
Natawa ako at napailing sa kanila.
Darshana.Sandejas: I'm coming out, my babies.
AnonymousCutie_69: ok dear,, love u 1kw lnG s4p4t nAh.. 😙 😙 😙
Darshana.Sandejas: Alam mo, Chance, second language mo na ata 'yang jejemon na 'yan. Kapag ikaw talaga natuluyan. At saka, may number ka naman sa akin, right? Why are you messaging my IG always? Madalas naka-off ang data ko.
AnonymousCutie_69: onga no??? ok dear..🤔 🤔 🤔
Abnoy na ang senior citizen...
Habang hila ko ang maleta ko papuntang waiting area ay tumunog ang phone ko, I saw Chance's name kaya napangiti na ako. Rhis is our first message ever! Madalas kami sa IG at ewan ko ba rito sa lalaking 'yon at ang daming trip sa buhay.
Feeling bagets!
I opened it, only to get stunned when I saw his first message.
