Chapter 45
After nilang mag bihis ay mukha silang mga bata sa suot nilang outfit.Nasa kusina ang tatlo naligo pa kasi siya nakita niya ang saya sa mukha ni Catherina.Nakaupo ang tatlo at nag uusap.Tumayo siya sa hamba ng pinto she wish they could stay like this forever.
"What are you doing there Serena come and join us"pasin ni X sakanya.
Tumango naman siya at umupo madaming mga pagkain ang nakahanda sa mesa.
"Ohh!Your so cute Serena my little green dinasour!sabi ni Catherina sakanya
Nakasuot ito ng kulay puti na panda pajama suit.
"Dont start with me Catherina!she snap
Tumawa naman si X
I miss this guys us being together again"Emotional na sabi nito.
Napatigil sila at tumingin dito
She is six month pregnant at masasabi niyang mas gumanda lalo ito.
"Ohh!dont mind me hormones"sabay ngiti nito.
"Before we start talking I want to give you something.May kinuha siya sa kanyang bulsa bali tatlong pouch iyon.Tapos ay inabot niya sa kanyang mga kaibigan.
"What is this?
A gift I went to a temple in Japan and I saw that it says it's for good goodluck and protection.
Anica open the bag at may nakita siyang jade na crystal na may nakasulat sa gilid.
"You been to Japan Serena?Tanong ni Catherina sakanya
"Yes"tipid na sagot niya
"Ohh!This is beautiful!anong ibig sabihin ng mga letra na sa pendant?X ask her
"It's your name in Japanese letters I really thought I killed you X and again I am very sorry for what I did to you"sabi niya dito
Hinawakan nito ang kanyang kamay
"That's ok I forgive you already di mo kasalanan it was Valeria's fault.I appreciate this gift thank you Serena.
"No wonder I cant find you ano ang ginawa mo sa Japan Serena?tanong ni Anica sakanya.
"I went there to find my family"sagot niya dito
"But you said they are dead already Serena?sabi ni Catherina sakanya.
"My real parents are alive I searched for them secretly in the past di ko sinabi sainyo dahil alam kung malulungkot lang kayo.You see I dont know where I came from I dont remember alot of things from my childhood.Kala ko ay nag iisa nalang ako sa buhay until I met you guys.
"Sana sinabi mo saamin dati pa Serena para matulungan kita"Anica said to her
"You have problems too and I can do it on my own"
"Serena makinig ka di ibig sabihin na kaya mo ay gagawin mo mag isa di ibig sabihin na malakas ka ay gagawin mong mag isa sometimes you need others also.Ano pa at naging mag kaibigan mo kami kung wala kaming maitulong saiyo?mahabang sabi ni Anica sakanya.
"Anica is right Serena maybe it's partly our fault also there are times you wanna distant your self from us.I should have ask more and pulled you closer".
"We loved you Serena and we are your sister's handa kaming damayan ka sa lahat ng bagay.
She felt touched hearing this words kung sana ay sinabi niya dati pa alam niyang gagaan ng kaunti ang kanyang nararamdaman.
"Did you found them?X ask her
Marahan siyang tumango
"Ohh I love to meet them!sabi ni Catherina
"Ano ang sabi nila saiyo?
"I-- my grandfather ask me to go but I have a mother.She look's exactly like me she is beautiful madami pa siyang sinabi sa mga ito.She starts tell them how she found them.
Nakikinig naman ang ito sakanya
But well my grandfather ask me who I was kaya lang kahit ako di ko alam kung sino ako.
Tapos ay napayuko ulit siya
They call me Asami but I dont remember who she was.I am Serena now at pag nalaman nila kung sino ako ay baka ipagtabuyan nila ako.
"Hey!listen to us"X said gently
"It doesnt matter kung ikaw ba si Asami or si Serena ang importante ay kung ano ang laman ng puso mo".
"She is right just tell them how you feel kung ayaw ka nilang taggapin, you can always come back to us.You are an amazing and beautiful woman and may mga magaganda ka ring kaibigan na handang mahalin ka habang buhay!sabi ni Catherina.
"Well I have two names but Anica is not my real name.It's the name of my mother I dont like the name Issabella for some reasons.So my advice for you is you can be both but what I can say is kahit sino ka man sa dalawa you are born to be a protector.All your life you protected your broter sam and sister Mia.
"Howw--
"Your my Sister Serena ayaw mong sabihin saamin kaya gumawa ako ng paraan para malaman ko.They know it too
Tinitigan niya ang dalawa at tumango ito
"We meet them every Chirstmas eve we sent them pictures of you.They missed you very much.Nagpapasalamat sila sa lahat ng bagay na ginawa mo para sa kanila"sabi ni X sakanya.
Di niya maiwasang di maluha
Nakita niyang kumuha ng tissue si Anica at pinunasan ang kanyang mga luha.
"Kahit sino ka paman alam kung tatanggapin ka nila Serena dahil pamilya mo sila.We are very lucky to have you as a friend and as a sister dahil handa mo kaming ipaglaban at ipagtanggol hanggang sa huli.You always put us first kahit kailan ay di ako nakarinig ng reklamo saiyo.But I know what your feeling inside there are times you felt insecured because you wanna be like someone else.You wanna fit in the crowd you always felt that you are different but the truth is you dont need too.Because you are already perfect dont live in darkness.As your sister Serena I want you to learn to accept and love who you truly are.
Di nakasagot si Serena dahil tama lahat ang sinabi ni Anica.All the negative things she's been thowing in herself it was all in her head.
"I also knew what happend to that governor Again I'm very sorry Serena.You see Federico run a background check on every kid na pwede niyang makuha.Sayo siya sobrang humanga kaya ginawa niya ang lahat ng paraan para makuha ka.
"Yes he told me to pick three girls pero isa kana doon Serena.Kaya iyon din ang rason kung bakit ikaw ang una kung nilapitan.
"Tell us what your real plan Anica at bakit may chip na nasa katawan namin"she ask her.
Tiningnan muna sila nito isat-isa bago ito ng salita.
He was very sick that time at ayaw niyang masayang ang kanyang pinaghirapan.So he had this idea to stored the information in chip and placed it in human body.
"Bakit kailangan sa katawan pa pwede namang itago niya nalang sa ibang lugar."tanong ni X dito.
"Dahil naniniwala siyang kaya pa niyang gumaling.At mas maproprotektahan niya ito ng maayos and no one will suspect that he put the secret on the body of the kids.That's why he needs healthy girls who are smart.He's plan is to train you guys at maging tauhan niya.It will take him many years para gumaling siya kung hindi man siya gumaling ibibigay niya ang isa sa inyo sa mga taong napili niya at ito ang magtutuloy sa mga planong naiwan niya.
"Ibig sabihin ay gawa-gawa lang lahat ni Valeria ang sinabi niya saamin ni X?
"She is just bluffing pero di ko alam paano niya nalaman ang tungkol sa chip sa katawan ninyo.I killed all the people who knew about this.May mga natirang tauhan ni Federico pero ang alam nila ay namatay na ang hawak ng marka.
"What will happen if tinaggal namin ito sa katawan namin?she ask Anica
"We gonna die"Catherina answer her question
"Ive done some Xrays and some doctors check my pulse kung nasaan ang chip.The chip is connected to my vein at nalaman nilang may maliit na bomba sa loob na kapag nagalaw o kinuha ay sasabog ito".
What the fuck?!di makapaniwalang sabi niya
"She is right only Federico can get that chip.He is good in making weapons at siya mismo ang gumawa ng bombang iyan na nasa katawan ninyo.Nothing bad will happened to you basta di lang ito matanggal o maigalaw sa katawan ninyo.
"Alam mo ba kung ano ang laman ng mga chip Anica?Narinig niyang tanong ni X dito
Yes some of it are the secrets of the organization.Kung paano kontrolin ang Mafia at kung sino-sino ang mga nagpapatakbo noon ang mga kahinaan at lakas namin.Also all the identity of The Romanos.Kung ano ang mga possisyon nito sa gobyerno.Federico also placed a missiles in every country of Mafia leader.He wants to create a war and he will manipulate it at pag naghina na ang Russia Mexico at America ay siya na ang magpapatakbo ng organisasyon.He will kill all the Romanos dahil alam na niya kung sino ang mga ito.There are many things I wanna tell you but I cant dahil mahihirapan din kayong intindihin.Di basta-basta kaaway ang mahaharap natin pag nalaman nilang buhay kayo.
Bakas sa mga mukha nila ang pag aalala.
"But I will not let that happen kahit malaman pa nila ay proprotektahan ka kayo.You will not die I promise you that''she gave them assurance.
"I know you wont fail us Annie we trust in you"sabi ni Catherina sakanya.
"Yes Ako din I have Lorenzo now alam kung tutulungan ka niya Anica"sagot din ni X dito
"I will help also--
"Mhmm no Serena for many years you gave up your life for us"sabi ni Anica
"But--
"No But's Serena you been pressured I can do this and Bianci is helping me now so it's not that bad actually that she ends up with him.At first natakot ako but I saw that Lorenzo he is not like his father he truly love Xania.
Kahit siya ay nakita din niya iyon.
"Ok but you need to promised me Anica na kapag may nagyaring di maganda ay sasabihin mo saakin"
Nakita niyang tumango ito after that they forgive Anica.They spend eating and laughing kinalimutan na nila ang mga di magagandang nagyari sakanila ng gabing iyon.She felt like they got more closer to each other.They dance sing watch movies like what they used to do in the past.Nasa theater room sila ngayon at puno ng unan ang sahig sa harapan ay may mesa na nakalapag ang mga junk foods at soda.
"Im bored watching movies !sigaw ni Catherina .Let's play truth or dare!
Tapos ay nakahanap ito ng bote at
Nilapag nito ang bote sa mesa di na siya nabigla ng naisipan itong laruin ni Serena.
Anica turn on the lights
"Ok you know the rules guys"she said in a playful manner alam niyang may binabalak na naman ang babaeng ito.
Sa unang ikot ay humarap kay Anica she choose dare tapos inutusuan ito ni X na kumuha ng tubig.Ilang beses itong umikot haggang napunta kay X.
"She is pregnant kaya truth ang pinili nito.Si Catherina ang magtatanong dito
Catherina starts to ask
"That day I went to outside your room I heard noises.What's that noises all about?she ask her
"Catherina!sigaw ni X dito namumula ang mga pisge nito.
Kahit siya ay nabigla sa tanong ni Catherina.
"You know we are---- uhhh!
"X tell us we are all grown ups here.I knew Anica have sex before and I have someone right now so tanging si Serena nalang ang inosente saatin.
Nang narinig niya iyon ay malapit siyang masamid.Mabuti nalang at binigyan siya kaagad ng tubig ni Anica.
"Your ok?She ask her
"Yea Im fine'
"You already know it Catherina--
"Nope tell us X!
"Lorenzo and I are fucking each other ok?!We were having sex kaya maingay kami--napatigil ito dahil nakita nitong nasa pintuan si Bianci.
"Kaya mas lalong namula ang mukha nito.
Kahit sila ay napatingin dito
"Uhh!Cara you need to sleep it's getting late"narinig nilang sabi nito kay X.
Nakita niyang lumunok muna si X bago nagsalita
"Isang oras pa babe please"paglalambing nito kay Bianci.
Tumango naman ito tapos ay tumalikod na.
"Serena narinig niya kaya?
"I think so?Why dont you ask him?she ask her innocently.Nothing wrong having sex she and Adil enjoyed it alot.
"Nakita nilang tumatawa si Catherina at ngumingiti naman si Anica.
"Ehh nakakainis naman kayo ehh!parang batang maktol nito.
Catherina keeps on laughing
"Seriously that was epic X but nextime follow the advise of your doctor.
"Oo na!
Then X spin the bottle sakanya huminto.She choose dare this time.They ask her to jump 20 times.Si Catherina naman ay sumunod kaya nakabawi si X dito.
Then it was Anica's turn si Catherina ang nagtanong dito.
"Ok Annie I want to ask you this along time ago!Where did you lose your virginity?Catherina ask Anica.
Anica answered that question
"In the car"
With whom?Catherina ask her again
"I thought in truth or dare you only ask one question?
"Dali na Annie I'm curious!
"His name is Dimitri"
Now spin the bottle again
Siya ang umikot ng bote at huminto ulit ito kay Anica.Truth or dare she ask her
Pinili nito ang truth pagod na daw ito sa dare.
Wala siyang maisip na ibang tanong
"Why your face looks so stressful kanina may problema ka ba?she ask her.Uminom muna ito ng wine tapos ay sinagot siya.
"Yea"
"Tell us!
"I cant tell you Serena"
"But we said no secrets anymore!sagot niya dito.
"My problem is your lover"sabi nito sakanya.
Napaisip siya sa sinabi nito
"My lover you mean Adil?May ginawa ba siyang masama saiyo?
"Wait!Wait! Serena you have a lover?Meaning may boyfriend kana?Di makapaniwalang sabi ni Catherina sakanya.
Si X naman ay nakatingin lang sakanya
"Uhh yea?she doesnt know if boyfriend niya ba si Adil.
"Uhh yea?give us right answer Serena!sigaw ni Cathy sakanya.
"It's complicated ok!
"Why?Cathy ask her again
Nag makabawi si X ay nagslita ito
"Is he the man who abduct you Serena the King?she ask her .
"Holy Shit!nagkarelasyon kayo ng hari na iyon?Kala ko ba ayaw mo sakanya?
"Well di na iyon importante hiwalay na kami so Anica anong ginawa sayo ni Adil.
"He just killed my men sinunog niya ang mga Cartel ko at mga pagawaan ng magteryales"
"Why he do that to you?I told him not to harm you!
"He didnt hurt me".
Serena talk to me!Do you love him?He killed Annie once so you cant be with him!sigaw nito ni Catherina sakanya.
"I know that!
"Good mabuti ng alam mo!
"Cathy let Serena choose her man kahit sinaktan ni--
"No!I would never ever give my Ate to someone like him!I dont like this game anymore!
Tatayo na sana ito ng magsalita siya
"Catherina there are things that's very difficult to explained to you right now.But I understand X kung bakit niya nagawang mahalin si Bianci.
"Serena is right Catherina di natin pwedeng gawin kay Serena ang ginawa natin dati kay X"sabi ni Anica dito.
Mabuti nalang at pumasok na si Bianci
"Cara we need to sleep now"Lorenzo said to X
Nakita niya namang tumango si X at inalalayan ito ni Bianci.
Nakasimangot padin si Catherina.
"Bianci tell me anong klaseng tao ang Hari na iyon huh!galit na tanong ni Catherina.
"Catherina stop it!saway niya dito
Bianci look dumbfunded
"Babe she was talking about the King who abduct Serena"sabi ni X kay Lorenzo
"Uhh! you mean Almasi?tanong ulit nito sakanya
Ngumiti si Lorenzo sakanya tapos ay binaling ang atensiyon kay Catherina
"Why dont you ask your friend Señorita Issabelle Yui?
"No thanks alam kung di rin sasabihin ni Annie saakin and you are part of this family .
"Well perhaps I can tell you all about it tomorrow my cute unicorn needs to sleep now.
Xania blushed at lumabas na sa pinto ang mga ito.
"Babe I'm very happy today!sabi ni Xania kay Lorenzo
Paakyat na sila ngayon,
Why Cara?he ask her
"Because they accepted our love!
Hinalikan nito ang kanyang noo
"Yes I am happy aswell Cara so explained to me what I heard?
"What you mean Lorenzo?Maang-maangan niya dito.Shit!So narinig pala nito ang sinabi niya kanina!
Papasok na sila sa kwarto nila ngayon at marahan hinalika ni Lorenzo ang kanyang leeg.
"Well I think we need to make love again so that you remember what you said to them Cara"
Then he started to unbotton her pajama suit.
