CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
The Plan
Krizel Keith's Point of View
Napatigil ako sa pag-iisip nang makarinig ako ng busina mula sa labas. Baka sila Kian na ito. Nakangiti akong tumayo mula sa couch at sinalubong sila. I was smiling while opening the door and there I saw them. Ang mag-ama ko na mahal na mahal ko. Agad na tumakbo palapit sa akin si Kit.
"Mama!" Masaya nitong salubong sa akin. I smiled. Sinalubong ko siya ng yakap at hinalikan sa pisngi. Kapagkuwa'y tumingin ako kay Kian. I smiled at him. Hahalikan ko na sana siya pero umiwas ito na lalo kong ikinaduda. I just sighed. Napakaseryoso niya naman.
"You know what Mama, kasama po kanina ni Papa 'yong Mommy ni Ada," sumbong sa akin ng anak ko. Uminit naman ang ulo ko. So totoo talaga na magkasama sila kanina? Pambihira. Binalik ko ang tingin ko sa anak ko.
"Anak, pasok ka muna sa loob. May pag-uusapan lang kami ng Papa mo. Go and play," sabi ko sa kaniya. Masunurin siyang tumango sa akin. Kinuha niya ang bag kay Kian at pumasok na sa loob. Tinignan ko si Kian.
"Let's talk," I said. Tumango lang siya. Pumunta na kami sa garden. Agad ko siyang hinarap.
"Explain this," sabi ko sa kaniya sabay pakita ng litrato nila ni Valerie na s-in-end sa akin ni Paul kanina.
"Obviuosly, I'm with Valerie," walang ganang sagot nito sa akin. Para namang sinaksak ang puso ko sa sinabi niya. Hindi niya 'man lang i-deny.
"D-Did your memory came back?" I asked him. He went silent and silence means yes.
"Yeah," sagot niya sa akin. I sighed, sinasabi na nga ba.
"Nagkabalikan na ba kayo?" I asked him again. So stupid, Keith. What kind of question is that?
"No," sagot nito sa akin. At least, nabawasan ng kaunti ang galit ko. There's no way that they'll be back together. Chandler is legally married to Valerie and I'm sure Chandler don't want to separate with Valerie. Dion will be stuck to me, forever.
"Good, we have a daughter and we're married. One more thing, Valerie is already married," I said to him. Hindi siya sumagot. Nanatili pa ring blangko ang kanyang mukha pero alam ko na nasasaktan ito, hindi niya lang pinapakita. Malaman mo ba naman na ikinasal sa iba ang mahal mo, hindi ba masakit 'yon? Ganiyan nga, masaktan ka.
"You know in yourself that Kit is not my daughter. We never had a daughter and you also know that I have a daughter with Valerie, which is Aya," he stated. He was right pero wala siyang magagawa. They are both married and have their own family.
"Yes, Kit is not your child but you cannot change the fact that we are married and if you think about divorcing me, that will not happen because I have no intention on breaking up with you," matapang kong sagot sa kanya. Not ever, Kian. You're only mine. Hindi ko hahayaan na makuha ka ni Valerie sa akin.
"And that fact makes me want to vomit," malamig na sabi niya sa akin at iniwan na ako sa garden. Hindi ko na kaya ang mga sinasabi niya kaya napaupo ako at hindi ko namalayan na tumulo na ang mga luha ko. Hindi niya 'man lang ako minahal. What does Valerie have that I do not have? Mahirap ba akong mahalin? I just want to be love by him. I just want to experience a true love but destiny is cruel with me.
Perhaps love is never been in my side. I knew in my heart that Dion had never loved me even though he lose his memories before, I felt that he didn't love me and truth really hurts. But I'm not Moira na nagpapaubaya. Ipaglalaban ko si Dion hanggang sa kamatayan. Magkamatayan 'man kami ni Valerie ngunit hindi ko isusuko si Dion sa kaniya.
