Chapter 43

Fake Bea POV

I slowly open my eyes.

"Mom...Dad..."

Aligagang lumapit naman sila sa akin.

"We're here iha...Thank God you're finally awake!"

"I'm okay na Mommy! Just a bit tired but I'll survive!" I say with a weak smile.

I look around the room.

"Dad....where's Damon?"

"I'm here!" at agad naman syang lumapit sa akin.

I immediately hug him.

"I thought you left me! I'm so scared my love! Naalala ko na naman yung mga dumukot sa akin!" nanginginig at mangiyak-ngiyak na sabi ko.

'Shhhh...stop crying my love...makakasama yan sa puso mo. You should rest!" at dahan-dahan nya akong ihiniga sa kama sabay kinumutan.

Bumaling sya sa parents ko.

"Umuwi na ho muna kayo. Ako ng bahala magbantay sa asawa ko."

"Okay sige iho!"

"Bea anak uuwi na muna kami ha. Magpagaling ka! We'll come back tomorrow!"

At umalis na nga sila.

Naiwan kaming dalawa ni Damon.

"Where's Bella?" I ask hesitantly.

Kita kong nagdilim ang mukha nya sa pagbanggit ko ng pangalan ni Bella.

"Pinalayas ko na sya! Kung hindi mo lang sya kakambal baka napatay ko na sya! She fooled me and she almost got you killed! Hindi ko sya mapapatawad! I'll make her pay for what she did to you!"

Hinawakan ko ang kamay nyang nakakuyom at nanginginig sa galit.

"No! Don't do that! She's still my sister kahit na ginawa nya yun sa atin! Naiintindihan ko naman na sobrang mahal ka lang nya kaya nya nagawa yon! But I know she means no harm. Makikiusap na lang ako sa kanya na wag na nya tayong guluhin at layuan nya tayo."

"Are you sure that's all you want? We can even put her in jail for what she did you know!"

"Hindi na kailangan! Don't you think that not being loved by someone you love is enough of a punishment?"

"Okay if you say so! Bakit ba kasi sobrang bait mo my love? Bella doesn't deserve a sister like you!"

Ngumiti ako sa kanya.

"You should rest." and then he tucked me in.

"Ikaw rin magpahinga ka na..." I tell him before I pretended to be asleep.

After a few minutes ay naramdaman kong umalis sya sa tabi ng kama ko.

He lay on the couch and after some time ay nakatulog na rin.

I slowly open my eyes and secretly glance at him.

Mukhang nakatulog na nga sya.

Dahan-dahan akong bumangon sa kama at kinuha ang cellphone ko.

I enter the comfort room and lock the door.

Sumagot agad si Klaus.

"Babe! How's your first day back as Mrs. Damon Salvador?"

"Ayon paniwalang-paniwala na naman silang lahat sa akin!"

"You should have been an actress!"

"I know right! You should have seen my husband's face! Galit na galit sya sa kakambal ko! He even wanted to put her in prison!"

"What?!? Tell me you didn't agree to him!"

"Of course not! Syempre hindi dahil wala naman talagang kumidnap sa akin!"

"How about your parents?"

"As usual, Dad was furious at Bella! I wonder how they would feel kapag nalaman nilang ang pinakaiingatan nilang anak dati na si Bea ang syang sinasaktan nila ngayon?"

Without even realizing it ay tumutulo na ang luha ko.

"Klaus...bakit ganon?"

"Bakit ganon ang alin babe?"

"Bakit kahit nagpanggap ako bilang Bea...nasasaktan pa rin ako kapag pinapagalitan sya ni Dad bilang Bella?"
