Chapter 12

Anais Point of View

"Sister! What was that?!"

Sa oras ng pagtungtong ng paa ko sa loob ng bahay ay kaagad dumagundong ang galit na tinig sa akin ng aking kapatid. Dahilan upang mapasinghap ang lahat ng tao sa bahay.

The never seen my brother this mad.

Dahil sa taas ng boses ng kapatid ko ay napalabas nito sina ama't ina.

Oh, god. This is hell.

"Augustine, lower your tone. That's your sister!" Kaagad na pangaral ng aking ama sa aking kapatid sa oras na makalapit ito sa amin.

"What's happening? Anais? Augustine? What happened?" Mahinahon ngunit punong-puno ng pag-aalala at pagtatakang tanong ng aking ina.

I look down when brother sighed.

Damn it. I forgot that I'm 16 earlier.

Ano bang pumasok sa isip ko't hinalikan ko ang lalaking iyon.

"Talk to your daughter. She's genius after all." my brother is so mad.

Kaya naman ay tinignan ako nina ama't ina dahil sa sinabi ng aking kapatid.

I held my hands together. "I kissed the prince....on cheeks."

Isang nakabibinging katahimikan ang bumalot sa loob ng manor na siyang ikinaba ko ng bahagya.

Pero sa hindi inaasahang pagkatataon ay halos tumalon ang puso ko mula sa dibdib ko nang marahas na hinawakan ng ama ko ang magkabilang balikat ko na siyang hindi inaasahan ng lahat.

His grip was too tight. It's hurting me.

Ramdam kong bumabaon na ang kuko ng ama ko sa aking balikat kaya naman ay nagtaka ako.

I'm not using my invulnerability so I can feel the pain.

"D-Darling let go of our child." mother calmly told my father but my father just look at me madly.

Did I really did something big?

"Tell me, Dustine Anais. Have you fallen?!"

Sa hindi inaasahang pagkatataon ay ito ang unang beses na natakot ako't lumuha ang mata ko dahil sa galit ng aking ama.

Nang tumulo ang butil ng luha ko ay kaagad bumaha ang takot at pag-aalala sa mukha ng kapatid ko. Kaagad itong tumakbo sa amin at hinawakan ang kamay ng ama namin.

"Dad! Let go of Anais!" he shouted madly as he took father's arm forcefully.

Napatulala ako't hindi pinansin ang dugong dumaloy sa balikat ko.

My father is mad at me? Did I do something forbidden?

"Father." I called him fierce.

Kaagad natauhan ang aking ama sa ginawa niya. "Nothing. I just want to inform you that I have fallen for no one. Do not worry," I informed him as I take my leave walking inside my room.

Sa oras na nakatapak ako sa loob ng kwarto ko ay hindi ko mapigilang mag kunot ng noo.

What's with my father earlier?

"My lady, we have to bath you."

Sa oras na narinig ko iyon ay kaagad akong natauhan. I immediately shrugged that idea off my mind.

Nang matapos nila akong paliguan ay kaagad nila akong binihisan ng night dress bago umalis.

I sighed when I heard a knock. I already knew who was it. Of course, it's brother.

At tama ako dahil sa pagbukas ko ng pintuan ay bumungad sa akin ang mukha ng kapatid ko.

He stared at me with his soft gaze and worried face when I let him entered. I sat on the sofa inside my room and he did the same.

Namuo ang katahimikan sa amin sapagkat hindi ko ito binati man lang. "Sister," he softly called me breaking the silence.

"I'm sorry for shouting. I'm just worried, and about earlier. Can I see your shoulder, sister?" He asked me but I only sighed.

"It's fine brother Wren, I know father was just worried that our plan might be ruined and of course, about me. " after saying that, I flashed the most sincerest smile I course fake off.

"Are you mad at me?"

"No?" patanong na sagot ko rito.

"Okay, that's a relief. Again, I'm sorry sister. Good night, Anais." he ruffled my hair as he gave me a caring hug before he left.

At nang masigurado kong wala na siya sa kwarto ko ay kaagad kong pinalibutan ng barrier ang paligid  ng kwarto ko bago ko inilabas ang maliit na libro.

Dad warned me not to read or open the book without them but no one will know right now that I happened to open this book hehe.

I touched the title, Book of Truth.

Unti-unti kong binuksan ang libro pero kaagad namuo ang pagtataka sa aking mukha ng blankong pahina ang bumungad sa akin.

I frowned. What the heck?

Akmang isasarado ko na sana ito pero hindi iyon natuloy nang may mga letrang unti-unting lumitaw at pumurma. I read what's written in the first page. "Only the kid with my eyes and golden magic is only the one, I am allowing to read this. Note by Atlanta F."

That means, it is me? So for 50 years, no one have read and can't read this book? Ito pa lang ang unang pagkatataon na may kayang magbasa nito?

So this book is for me.

I immediately flip it in the second page but I frowned. "This isn't a book, but a diary." I mumbled.

I started reading the first diary while smile is forming in my lips. This diary contains Atlantha's happiness and experiences. I think she's happy while writing her experiences since I can feel it.

But my smile immediately faded as soon as I flipped it in the second to the last page where in there's a blood stain and the words, they aren't made of ink..... But blood instead.

"I have gained a knowledge, a forbidden information. My grandson's wife have committed a sin... What the heck is with this?!" I greeted my teeth as soon as I read the first paragraph.

Her grandson's wife have committed a sin?

What's the sin?! What does my mom have done?

Does father knew it?

Kahit gulong gulo ay ipinagpatuloy ko ang pagbasa. "I have seen something. I cannot believe he can kill mercilessly..... he isn't from me, I disowned him." That was the last phrases from that page.

Sino ang tinutukoy niya rito? She disowned him? It means it's a guy since it's 'his' and it's possibly from our bloodline.

After knowing that big information, I immediately flip it to the last page but my heart sank when there's no more written on it.

But it's only a number? Wait... is this an address and a name?
