Spill your guts

Xey's POV

Let me show you what fun looks like! Pakshet yong bruhang yon! Tinuring kong kapatid tapos intensyon n'ya palang mang agaw ng asawa!

Kahit pala babae kaya na din yatang mang rape! Tragis... Mga panahong buhay pa ko lagi n'ya ngang gustong makuha mga damit ko... TANG... NGAYON NAALALA KO YUNG SABI SAKIN NILA PAPA... Na ibibigay nalang nila yung hotel room ko kay belle kasi di nila ipapaalam na muna na buhay ako... Hinihingi kasi yon ni belle kaya binigay nila.

Pucha! Tanginamokangbruhaka.

"W-Wife..."

"ANO?!" Napasigaw na ko ng sagot kay Chase habang nasa kotse lang kami... Pinag iisipan ko pa kasi kung susugudin naba namin o ano.

"Calm down—

"Anong calm down! Ayos lang ba sayo yung nang yaring yon ha?!"

"Of course not!"

"Then why does it looks like you're stopping me?!"

"Kasi...parang magkasabwat sila Callen dito..."

"Pano mo naman yan nasabi?"

"Kasi... S'ya yung sumundo kay belle nung araw na yon... Ewan ko... Pero parang may plano talaga sila satin bal... Kung susugod agad tayo baka mamaya maipit tayo jan." Sabi n'ya. "Kaya mahal kita eh. Pipigilan moko sa mga di ko muna dapat gawin." I smiled at him at kaya kinilig din si gaga.

"So ano dapat plano?" I asked at walang hinto akong umupo sa kandungan n'ya at medyo sumandal sa busina. Napangiti ito at hinawakan ako sa bewang.

"Ano sa tingin mo plano hmm?"

"Bal... Umayos ka ha. Dapat galit padin ako sayo eh. Nilalandi mo naman ako agad."

"Bat ka galit? Sorry na nga eh..." I teased him at tumawa lang s'ya ulit. "Bal... Later na... Mag plano muna tayo haaa??"

Sinimangutan ko s'ya at napaasik. "Sige. Ano ba gusto mo gawin?"

"Patulong tayo..."

"Kanino naman? Tska pano ka makakasigurado na yung pag hihingan natin ng tulong mapapagkatiwalaan?" Sabi ko at ngumisi s'ya.

"Di ba mapagkakatiwalaan sila Dad? Pati magulang mo?"

"Magulang ko??? Eh dib—

"Sige patulong tayo kay Dad muna. Pero gusto ko din sana sa magulang mo din pero bago yon kausapin ko muna sila. Okay lang ba bal?" I sigh and nod. "Ewan ko lang ha... Pero I'll trust you... Basta... Wag mokong hayaang maikasal kay Callen ha?"

"LAH. Sino bang may gustong mangyari yon maliban sa kanya at belle?"

"Sige pero siguraduhin mo din na di mo—

"Wala akong balak na landiin si Belle. Ano ba yang iniisip mo... Sayo na nga ako eh." Pota. Makatawa Xey?

"So... Monday bukas bal... Feel ko may pasok ka... San ka mag sstay?" He asked at ngumiti ako dito.

"Sa apartment. Gusto mo don ka din muna?" I wink at him at bigla itong napangiti. "Tara na. San ba yun?" Kinikilig na tanong n'ya kaya lumipat na ko ng upuan at tumuloy na.

Nung nasa may University na kami, we used to change our clothes that we bought somewhere and it's cute tho.

I'm actually riding on his back and we were like spinning around the quadrangle, we wanted to scream but we can't. Magigising tao, mahuhuli kami ng di oras.

Binaba na ko ni chase sa may back door ng building at hiningal s'ya as we both laugh softly. "Stay here. I'll ask someone to drop the rope." I said at tumingin sa taas saka nilabas ko yung laser at nag signal.

Maya-maya din ay sumilip na s'ya. I grin and step back with chase. Pagkabagsak ng tali, nakita ko na may kasamang papel. I cursed when we read the note.

My parents are there... Is it a good or bad timing?? I look at chase. "That's a great timing babe. Let's go." He said at binuhat n'ya na ko.

Mabilis kaming nakaakyat at nakita ko kaagad si Kyle at Joy doon. Kausap... Sila papa... Tumigil ako sa terrace at pagkaakyat ni chase don hinila ko s'ya sakin.

"B-Bal... I c-can't face them... Masasakal nanaman ako..." I intertwine my fingers to his at hinigpitan n'ya ang kapit saakin.

"Ako bahala. Trust me." He gave me a kiss then let me go saka nanlaki mata ko nang pumasok s'ya kaagad. Sumilip lang ako kasi naririnig ko yung sigaw ni papa kila joy... Pati tuloy sila nadamay...

"Just please! It's been 3 days that she's not here... If she's here... Don't hide her... I'm begging you..." I heard dad said at sinilip ko sila. Nakita ko naman na tumityempo si Chase na nakatago sa may pader.

"Y-Yes... Sir..."

"Thank you... But I told you not to call me sir... You are my daughter's friends... So call me tito."

"Y-Yes tito..." sagot ni kyle at bago pa umalis sila, napaharap sila daddy sa may kusina at di ko napansing nakatayo na don si Chase.

Gusto ko nang pumasok, pero wag muna... Nanginginig talaga tuhod ko... My daddy is sweet... But he's really scary sometimes...

"Do you know this guy?" Daddy asked joy and kyle but they shook their heads no. "Good..." Chase paused and looked at his clock. "Good morning I guess Mr. And Mrs. Buenaventura." bati ni Chase.

"W-Why are you here Mr. Vicasente?"

"Hmm... Just looking around... Can I ask why are you here? And... Who are you looking for??"

Oh chase please don't make a scene. I'm begging you sweetheart...

Hindi naman umimik sila daddy at mukang kinakabahan pa sila. "Mr. Buenaventura... Tell me, she's alive right?" Chase asked at napahinga ng malalim si daddy non at napasulyap kay mommy.

"S-She's lost—

"So she's alive." Putol ni Chase at napabuntong hininga na si daddy. "Is she with you? Where is—

"She's alive?" Ulit ni chase at nagulat ako nang sumigaw si daddy. "DAMN IT. YES SHE IS AND SHE'S MISSING NOW!"

"Why didn't you tell me... Did you know how much I suffer?" Chase steps forward at daddy pero nakita ko na inilayo nila kyle at joy s'ya. "Get off me. I don't know you both..." Chase shrugs them away kaya umatras sila kyle dito.

Nakita siguro nila na mas nakakatakot doon si chase. Sorry guys.

"Why did you take her away from me?" Chase asked but dad just glared at him. "You're no good for my daughter."

"Why? What makes you say that?!"

"She gave everything to you! Kung ano yung gusto naming ibigay n'yang pagmamahal samin sayo n'ya lang yon kayang ibigay!"

That's the reason? For everything ? Sa lahat ng pagmamalupit nila sakin? Yun lang gusto nilang kapalit?! WHAT THE HECK?! Pano din yung mga araw na di pa kami magkakilala ni chase?!

Magsasalita pa non si Chase but I did not let him talk. "Yun lang ba lahat daddy?" I stand next to chase at nagulat s'ya nang makita ako.

"X-Xey... Thank God you're alive..."

"Thank God for letting me know the real reason from you! Finally!" I saw them look frightened from the reaction that I gave them. "Nung mga panahong iniispiya n'yo ko nung Alejandro pa ko... Hindi n'yo naman ako inilayo sa kanya diba? So bakit parang kasalanan pa to ni Chase ngayon, daddy? Mommy? Ano ilalayo n'yo lahat ng taong kaya kong mahalin maliban sa inyo? Bakit? Pinaramdam n'yo din ba na minahal n'yo ko?" I paused when chase holds my shoulder, like he wants me to stop, but I didn't.

"Sinubukan ko kayong mahalin din bilang magulang ko... Pamilya ko... Pero parang nung una pa lang... Ayaw n'yo yon maramdaman kaya ipinapakasal n'yo na ko sa iba! Daddy! Ilang taon lang ako non... Ni hindi ko maranasan kung pano maging bata! At mas lalong hindi ko naranasan yang pagmamahal n'yo sakin! Tapos ngayon... Ganito kayo sakin? Kahit naman sabihin n'yo na binabantayan n'yo ko sa bawat oras sa noon kong trabaho... Hindi ko maramdaman... Kasi ang hilig n'yong mag tago... Mahirap ba?" Now this is the first time I saw daddy crying in front of me. "Mahirap bang iparamdam sakin yon ng harap harapan? What did I do not to deserve it daddy?" I added and I grip at Chase's jacket.

"I can make a better life for me by finishing my studies and be a great doctor... But it's hard to live a life if you keep on pulling me away from everything I want to do to have my own freedom! If you didn't have the chance to make time for me ever since... It's not my fault... I'm sorry but it is... Not my fault..." I emphasizes at aalis sana ako pero niyakap ako ni Chase at sa kanya na ko napaluha.

"L-Let's go..." Yaya ko kay Chase but he did not let me go. "Stay... Hun... Learn to listen to other people's side... Katanggap tanggap man o hindi... You still need to understand... Mahirap man o ano... Try to accept it... Kasi mahal mo and you're willing to open up your heart for them no matter what..." He said at tinignan ko s'ya.

He wipes away my tears "It takes time to forgive Bal... Tulad sa daddy ko... Pero kita ko naman na nag eeffort s'ya for me to accept him in my life again... Hanggang sa tumatagal, nakikita ko na napapatawad ko na pala s'ya at hindi ko kayang magalit sa kanya ng matagal kasi mahal ko s'ya... Sayo din sa totoo lang..." He chuckled at natawa din ako.

"I know my secrets we're all shocking—

"Very shocking and a little unacceptable... Pero I'll work on it to accept that..." I smiled "thank you... For putting so much effort on everything for me..." I said and someone cleared throat so I look at them.

"W-We're sorry..." Sabi ni daddy at nakita kong paalis na sila non at nagulat ako nang pumiglas si Chase at pinigilan sila daddy.

"Please Mr. And Mrs. Buenaventura... Stay for a while... I think you haven't eaten yet, I can cook some food now. Even tho it's 4 in the morning, let's consider that as a breakfast." sabi ni chase kaya nanlaki mata ko sa nasabi n'ya. He's serious? After all the drama? That'll be awkward.

Aayaw sana si daddy pero hindi pumayag si Chase "Please, settle down and I'll cook. Just wait for the food." Chase dragged me towards the sofa where my parents are sitting, chase leaves a kiss on head first before leaving us there.

Sinulyapan ko naman sila joy, wala nakisama sila sa kusina. Tinulungan si Chase. Kala koba di kayo close, ako nalang sana jan Oh.

"Xey..." I look at daddy and I lean as I make an contact with them. "I'm sorry..." He holds mom's hand at tumango si mom.

"I'm sorry... Alam kong nag kulang ako bilang nanay mo... Oo... Saka ko lang yon na realize and that's really unfair for you... Nung dumating na sila Remo... Narealize ko na parang mas nanay ako sa kanila pero sa totoong anak ko hindi ko magawa yon noong bata kapa. Dahil siguro inuna namin sarili namin bago sayo... Nagawa pa nga naming hayaan ka sa iba kasi... Masyado kaming makasarili, di namin namalayan na pati anak namin napapamigay na namin sa sobrang mapagsarili namin...  Sorry anak... I'm so sorry... Wala na kong maipalusot pa sayo dahil oo... Tama ka nga... Nagkulang kami kahit na pinaspiya ka namin noon pa lang hinding hindi yon sapat kasi hindi ka nga namin kayang lapitan kasi mas inuuna namin trabaho kesa sayo... I'm sorry..." Now I saw mommy kneeling in front of me at pinigilan ko s'ya.

"Sit down. You don't have to do this..."

"Kulang pa to sa dapat namin gawin sayo and now we want to start over with you without hesitation... Please..." now dad kneels next to mommy.

"I won't agree with that if you won't sit down! D-Don't do this..." I said at tumayo ako kaya dahan-dahan silang umupo.

"G-Give me time... To forgive you first..."

"We'll be always here to wait for you to forgive us Xey... We're really sorry..." Daddy said and he stands up as he hugs me.

Mommy joined so I hugged them back. "Nung araw na kinuha ka namin 11 years ago... I swear... I missed having you... Nahihiya lang talaga ako na lapitan ka dahil na din sa mga nagawa kong mali sayo noon... Sorry Xey... Daddy is not strong like his daughter... But I'm proud of you... You're stronger than anyone else... Even us... No sugarcoating... All real... Thank you for telling daddy and mommy what's their mitakes... We promise to start being a good parents now to you... And I hope it's not too late..." I hugged daddy tighter.

"I love you daddy... Mommy..." I whispered at natawa ako sa reaksyon nila, they both pull away at pinaglakihan ako ng mata.

"Tingin n'yo kayo lang nagpapa spiya sakin noon? Of course there's Kian to update me about how you both doing in London..." I chuckled at niyakap nila ako ulit.

They keep on apologizing to me and I just smile at them coz' I'm done talking. I already got what I want to hear from them.

Pagkatapos ng drama na yun, nag kwentuhan na kami mostly about remo. I told them not to mention that to Chase because he might get mad... I mean, sa pangalan pa lang na Remo alam n'ya nang lalaki yun. Baka mag away pa kami don so they just agreed with it.

"Sorry if it tooks so long. But breakfast is served." Sabi ni Chase at pagka lingon ko sa tatlo, napangisi ako. "What's with the smile Joy and Kyle?"

"Huh? I'm smiling?? I mean duh, my name is joy so it's —

"Heh. Your smile is different... What did you do Chase?" I stand up at nagtaas s'ya ng kamay for surrender.

"We just had a friendly chat. Diba Kyle?" He asked kyle at natawa si kyle. I glare at Chase pero kinindatan n'ya lang ako.

Kyle and Joy were both my college friends, I even taught them some other languages para naman nagkakaintindihan kami minsan pag napapa ibang lenguahe ako.

Sa hapag, I don't know... I just saw mom and dad smiling... As they talk to Chase about the food he cooked.

"Since, I knew the answer from my question from both of you... Cinderella and I want to... Ask help from you if you may?" Chase said so I looked at him.

"What help? Is there something wrong?" Mommy asked and I nodded.

"What's wrong?" Daddy asked.

"Callen and Belle." I said at tinignan ko sila mommy. "Why? What happened?"

"Callen is the responsibility about the crash. And belle... Sorry but that bitch, is trying to take my husband away from me by stealing my personality ever since I died and that's the reason why she wants my hotel room. And She even raped my husband!" I yelled at di ko namalayang napatayo na ko sa inis.

Nagtitigan lang sila sakin kaya napahinga ako ng malalim at nginitian sila. "Sorry... Napadala lang sa sama ng loob." I said at umupo na.

"Why are they doing it? Magkasabwatan ba sila?" Mommy asked I nodded.

"I think they want us to break a part... I mean look, belle wants me and callen wants Cinderella... Since we thought that Cinderella died, Callen changes her personality first while her memories are being erased is on process, he take care of their wedding also for the next 5 days or maybe 4 days from now." Chase explained.

I nodded. "And that bitch belle, I won't let her spread some fake news that her being pregnant! I know her, she's cliché and not on my watch." I rolled my eyes at narinig kong natawa si Chase so I glare at him.

I hit his shoulder and he laughs even more. "What's funny?!"

"You. You look so cute when you're angry. Can't help it." Inirapan ko lang s'ya at pagkaharap ko kila mama they were also chuckling.

Aalis na ko non kasi napikon na ko, pero hinila ako ni Chase sa kanya at niyakap ako. "Did you know she's always like this? And I found it cute!" Sabi ni chase yata kila mama at hinalik-halikan n'ya ulo ko.

I pulled away at nagtawanan na sila. "Nakakatawa yon?" Naiinis kong sabi at sinimangutan ko sila mama. Pati sila nakikitawa. Masaya yon?

"Sige nga. Tawa ka jan. Pano pag naanakan mo si belle ha?"

"Bahala s'ya don. Ni rape n'ya ko eh edi dapat pananagutan n'ya yon." Inirapan ko s'ya non at nag make face. Natawa s'ya ulit. "Lah, parang bata." Natatawang pang aasar n'ya.

"Busog na k—

"Dito ka lang! Mag huhugas kapa ng pinggan." Hinila ako ni Chase paaupo kaya napalo ko s'ya sa braso.

He groaned. "Mommy, daddy. Look at her, she's hitting me." Parang batang nag sumbong si Chase kila mama kaya tawa lang sila ng tawa.

"Ikaw tong parang bata eh." sinipa ko upuan n'ya at nasaway ako ni mama. "Ma wag mo yang payagang ligawan ako." Lumapit ako kila mama at tumayo si Chase.

"Lah! Walang ganon!"

I made face at him at nakita kong lumapit s'ya kay daddy at dinikit n'ya sa kanila sila joy at kyle.

"Papayagan n'yo po ba ako ligawan anak n'yo?" Tinanong ni Chase kay daddy at napangisi si daddy.

"You always surprise me son. Of course, alam ko namang di mo s'ya papabayaan."

"Same here." Mommy said at napatingin ako sa kanya. "Is this a game or serious?" Bigla kong tanong at natawa sila.

"We'll both let you stay together... No more other reason for not letting you be together." mommy kissed my forehead at napangiti ako.

"Ano Bal, pano ba yan... Pasado na ko sa magulang mo." He winks at me so I chuckled. "Invite mo din minsan dad mo Chase. Magkasundo naman kami, so you can invite him anytime." Daddy said so chase nodded.

"Before anything else... Let's all need something to do with Callen and Belle. Okay?" Mommy said so I smiled and nodded.

I honestly would make this day a memorable one.
