Chapter 23: Officially Separated
SASHA REIN SALVATORE
He really kept what he promised last night. The annulment papers were sent to my condo just now.
I gave a nod to the delivery boy and closed the door of my condo. I sat down on my couch and opened the envelope. It already has his signature. I just need to sign it and boom, we're back to being strangers. Like nothing ever happened. Kasi wala naman talaga... hindi ba?
Nothing happened, right?
I held my pen and for a minute, I lost my mind. It's like I was possessed by some stupid spiritual energy. I shook my head and signed the papers then kept them under the table. I'll just send it later through my lawyer then it's done.
I didn't inform my parents yet. I don't know if the Buenavistas are aware of it already, but I don't care. I got what I wanted. I destroyed him. I could see it in his eyes last night. It's like a mirror of me from five years ago. Lifeless.
He's smiling but I bet he feels empty. Just like what I wanted. Right?
Right. Just like what I wanted.
Bonus pa na naipaghiganti ko ang mga babaeng pinaiyak at pinaglaruan niya. They should thank me. I avenged them. I got them justice. He now knows how it feel to be played.
I have decided to go to our mansion and inform my parents. Baka maunahan pa ako ng media. They don't deserve that.
"Good morning, Young Lady!" bati sa akin ng mga katulong pagkapasok ko ng mansiyon. Marahan ko silang nginitian.
"Oh, anak! You're early!" bati ni Mom na nasa salas pala. Wala siguro siyang lakad ngayon. Sabagay, sa akin na kasi pinahawak ang Corporation pagkatapos ng kasal. Sa amin, actually. Kaya lang ngayon, hindi ko alam kung paano na ang mangyayari.
Since that thing happened, five years ago, I have never been that sweet to my parents. My real parents. Yes, I'm happy to find my birth parents. They're good to me and it's not their fault na maiwala ako but sometimes I think about, what if Ate Janna didn't die? Will things turn out differently? I know I sound a little selfish, dahil ilang taon silang nangulila sa akin, while here I am wishing for different things. Ang laki ng sinakripisiyo nila para sa akin pero I'm just taking them for granted. I don't deserve them.
With that, I slowly sat beside Mom and put my arms around her waist. We're still sitting and she looks like she didn't expect it. This is the first time na naglambing ako sa kanila on my own accord.
"I'm sorry." Ang laki na nga ng pinagbago ko. Hindi ko alam kung ako pa ba ito. Kung andito si Ate, pinagalitan na ako ng husto nun dahil hindi naman nila ako pinalaking ganito. Nilamon ako ng galit.
"Sweetie, what's wrong?" Hinawakan niya ang mga kamay ko kaya I tried burrying my head on her neck. Iba nga talaga ang yakap ng isang ina.
"I'm really sorry, Mom. I'm sorry for taking you for granted. I was so busy running away from pain that I didn't get to see you there behind me, just waiting for me to turn around." Ramdam kong hinahaplos niya ang braso ko. I'm trying my best not to cry. Sa loob ng five years, alam kong sinusubukan nila ang lahat ng kaya nila para bumawi sa akin sa lahat ng bagay. Pagmamahal na hindi nila naiparamdam sa loob ng 12 years. Mga bagay na hindi nila naibigay sa akin noon. Lahat. They lost me when I was 3 years old. I was with my Yaya and she accidentally lost me at the park. That's what my parents told me. They tried to find me but that time, may threat sa family namin kaya nag-decide silang huwag muna ako hanapin. They thought that it would be safer for me. Kaya kahit masakit, tiniis nila. For me. Because they love me.
