Chapter 98
Chapter 98 Sorry
"Is this the place??"Tanong ko kay Jao na buhat buhat si Armielle.He nodded as a response and ring the doorbell.
Huminga ako ng malalim at umayos ng tayo.Jao slowly held my hands to calm me down.Ngumiti siya sa akin at tumango naman ako bago ngumiti pabalik.
The door opened and a woman with a short black stood in front of me.Marahan siyang ngumiti sa akin at sinipat ang kabuuan ko.
She was smiling,but the sadness in her eyes are overwhelming.She completely changed,everything about her changed.
Just like what Jao told me.
"Jahara."
"It's good to see you Ambrielle."Sagot niya at pinatuloy kami sa loob ng condo niya.Dumeretso kami sa living room at umupo kami sa sofa.
I didn't get the chance to observe the place.Nakatuon lang ang mga mata ko kay Jahara na tahimik na pumunta ng kusina.
"Kuya ,your cellphone."Nilahad ni Armielle ang kamay niya sa akin.I slidded my phone out of my pocket and handed my phone to him.
He played some games habang nakaupo siya sa lap ni Jao."Are you sure you want to talk to her??"Mahinang tanong ni Jao sa akin at nilingon ako.
Tumango ako."This is the moment i've been waiting for Jao."Sagot ko at tumingin kay Jahara na may dalang tray ng pagkain.
"Cake!!"Armielle gave the phone back to me at hinintay na i-serve ni Jahara ang pagkain.Jao sliced some chocolate cake at sinubuan ang kapatid ko.
Kumuha ako ng tissue at pinunasan ang bibig niya.Nilingon ko si Jahara na tipid na nakangiting pinagmasdan si Armielle.
"Is he your brother??"Tanong ni Jahara sa akin.
"Yeah."Sagot ko.Tumayo si Jao habang buhat buhat si Armielle na may hawak ng isang platito ng cake
"We'll eat in the kitchen so the two of you can talk."Paalam niya.
"Thank you Jao."Ani Jahara at seryosong nilingon naman siya ng kapatid.Jahara lowered her gaze.
"I'm not doing this for you."
"Jao."I interfered.He just heaved a sigh and nodded at her sister before going to the kitchen.Hinarap ko si Jahara na huminga ng malalim at tumingin sa akin.
"How are you??"Tanong niya sa akin.I answered that i'm fine and i'm doing well."I see...i heard what happened on Julius' birthday."Wika niya at nagtatanong na kumunot ang noo ko.
"Akihiro told me."Sagot niya."You see,Julius...is a scary guy.When i met him and we started going out,it was just the usual relationship."She stated.
"But when he started being possesive—well guys are known for being possesive but he was just too different.It was weird and creepy."Dagdag niya at tumatangong nakinig naman ako sa kaniya.
"And i was scared when Lola Alita announced that i'm pregnant.I don't want to get married with that Psycho."Umiiling na sabi niya."So i did what i had to do."Wika niya at makahulugan na tumingin sa akin.
"I know my reason is stupid and invalid that i even tried to choke you to dea—"Jahara closed her eyes and continue."I tried to do something bad to you and i really...really want to say sorry for everything."Sinserong tumingin siya sa mga mata ko.
"You took all the blame and you were banished from the mansion.My mom hated you but it was me all along."Yumuko siya.
"I'm sorry for everything Ambrielle."
Naawang tumingin ako sa kaniya.Why do i feel like she's the real victim here?She looks very sad and i think she already suffered too much.
"My Grandfather passed away when the baby's death reached Japan.It was my fault and Jao was very mad until this day."
"Don't say that."Naawang umiling ako at tinabihan siya."Jao loves you Jahara,he loves his family more than anyone else."Dagdag ko at namuo ang luha sa mga sulok ng mga mata niya.
"It was just a couple of months but we had the time to talk about many things.Your brother loves you,i'm sur of it."Dagdag ko at nginitian siya.
"I'm really sorry."Yumakap siya sakin at umiyak ng umiyak.I gently smiled and comforted her.Finally,i feel relieved now.
After she calmed down,she told me everything what happened.Last year,she admitted her wrong doings in front of their whole family.
She lost her right and money.Worst,she was banished from Japan and mansion until she learn her lesson.The Tobito's are really scary and strict after all.
"How about Alira??"Tanong ko sa kaniya.She looked at me and smiled."Did the two of you make up already??"Gulat na tanong ko at tumango naman siya.
"Hindi man lang siya nagkwento sakin."Bulong ko at mukhang narinig naman ito ni Jahara.
"Ambrielle."Jahara suddenly looked serious."I'm just guessing here okay?But i think...Alira and Garret are having a problem."She stated and i quickly agreed.
"The last time i saw Alira,her eyes were swollen.As if she cried overnight."Wika ko at nagtinginan kaming dalawa.
Bumuntong hininga siya at nakapikit na kinurot ang ilong."Wag naman sana..."Makahulugang bulong niya at sumandal sa sofa.
Kumunot ang noo ko."What is it?"Tanong ko at umiling siya."What is is Jahara??"I asked again due to my curiosity.
"Back when the two of us are still together,Garret is a complete playboy."Sagot niya.
"He had a lot of hoes swarming around him back then and that's why i chose to focused on my studies."Bumuntong hininga na naman siya.
"Seriously,when will i have peaceful life??I was depressed,broken and torn in old days.Now everything what just happened, i don't know what to call this one anymore."Ngumiwi siya at umiling iling.
"Do you think..."Nagaalinlangan na sabi ko at nagpatuloy."May ibang babae si Kuya Garret??"Tanong ko sa kaniya na nagisip.
"I don't know but i'll look into it."
"How??"Kunot noong tanong ko.Ngumiti lang siya at mabilis naman ito nawala nang lumingon siya sa bumukas na pinto.The two of us stood up and turned to the guy who entered the living room.
"Tywin??"Gulat na tanong ni Jahara kay Tywin na seryosong tinignan lang siya.
"Found yah."Tywin suddenly smirked.
"Kuya!!"Armielle rushed to me from the kitchen.Yumakap siya sa mga binti ko at nakangusong tumingala sa akin."Can we go to the mall now??"
"We just got here."Wika ko at binuhat siya.
"Oh is that your brother??"Interesadong tanong ni Tywin sa akin at lumapit sa aming dalawa.Tumango ako at nakangising ginulo niya ang buhok ni Armielle.
"Both of you are really identical huh??"
"Baby,let's go now."Tawag ni Jao sa akin na nakapamulsang nakatayo sa door way.Tywin looked at us with amusement and chuckled.
Uminit namang pisngi ko at lumapit na kay Jao.Tumingin ako kay Jahara na nginiwian si Tywin na malapad ma nakangisi sa kaniya.Jahara approached us before leaving.
"Drive safely."Payo niya sa kapatid na tinanguan lang siya.She then looked at me."Feel free to come here again togther with your cute brother."Jahara smiled widely and pinched Armielle's cheek.
"I'm not cute,Kuya Jao said i'm handsome."Armielle protested and pouted making Jahara chuckled.
"You are."Jahara agreed to him and looked at me.
"About the thing with Garret and Alira,i'll try to look into it.And when i found something ikaw ang una kong tatawagan."Makahulugang bulong niya sa akin.
Nakangiting tumangi ako sa kaniya."Thank you Jahara,mauuna na kami."Paalam ko.
"Thank you too Ambrielle."
After that the three of us spent the whole day in the mall.We went to the arcade,ate lunch,watched some movies and of course,Jao bought toys and new gadgets for Armielle.
Jao really spoiled my brother.
I placed Armielle on his bed.He's tired and i'm sure he enjoyed this day.Naistress na tumingin ako sa mga pinamili ni Jao sa kaniya at umiling nalang.
Lumabas ako ng kwarto niya at dumeretso sa kusina.Nagmano lang ako kay Mama na nagluluto ng lunch at sinabi na bagsak ni si Armielle sa pagod.
"Si Papa??Uuwi po ba siya ngayong gabi??"Tanong ko kahit na alam kong hindi siya makakasabay sa amin ng hapunan.I don't even know kung kailan talaga uuwi sa Papa.
Mama sadly smiled at me and shooked her head."Do you miss him??"Tanong niya at tipid na ngumiti sa akin.
I nodded."All of us misses him."I answered.
"Don't worry,i asked Arsius to talk to him.He'll bring him back."
"Can't you personally go to his office??"Tanong ko."One month straight Ma,hindi siya umuuwi and that never happened before."Paalala ko sa kaniya.
"Maybe he's just really busy anak,that's why i sent Arsius to care of this matter."She convinced me but she looks more troubled than me.
Bumuntong hininga nalang ako at tumango."If somethings is bothering you,i'm just here Ma."Wika ko at tipid na ngumiti naman siya sa akin.
Matapos kong magpaalam ay pumunta ako ng living room at nakita sina Tequila at Jao na naguusap.Kumunot ang noo ko nang mapansin ko ang mga matatamis na ngiti nila at bahagyang nagtatawanan.
Do they know each other??
Jao noticed my stares at hilaw na ngumiti ako sa kaniya bago ko sila lapitang dalawa.Sabay na tumayo sila sa sofa at nakangiting sinalubong ako.
"You guys know each other?"Tanong ko.
"I should be the one asking you that."Natatawang sabi ni Tequila at kumapit sa braso ni Jao."I didn't you know you knew Jasper all this time."Tequila grinned at Jao and Jao just chuckled at her.
Jasper??
Pinagmasdan ko silang dalawa na magusap.I bit my lips and looked away.Are they perhaps ex lovers??It's just too obvious and they seem had a good past.
"Tell me where my cousin is hiding or your dead."Tequila grinned at dinikit ang sarili niya kay Jao.
Pasimpleng tumingin ako sa paligid.Nasan ba si Argust?Goodness this is freaking me out.Her girlfriend is acting weird to my boyfriend.
I'll stab her with my paint brushes of this continues.
I snapped back into reality when Tequila giggled and happily hugged Jao.Kumunot ang noo ko,nakalimutan yata ni Jao na ihahatid ko na siya palabas.
"We'll go now."Jao slowly pulled his arm from Tequila's grip.Tequila looked at us and her eyebrows furrowed when she saw our necklaces.
"Are the two of you.."
"Dating?Yes,he's my boyfriend."Sagot ko sa kaniya at napaamang naman siya.
"Have you seen my brother?Tell your boyfriend the dinner is ready."Dagdag ko at hinila ni si Jao paalis ng living room.
Tahimik na lumabas kami ng gate at hinintay ko siya na sumakyan ng sasakyan niya.I looked up to him who was looking at me with his amused face.
"W-what is it??"Tanong ko.
"So that's how my baby get's jealous??"Tanong niya at mabilis na uminiy ang pisngi ko.Am i really that transparent to him??
I pouted and looked away."She was hugging and acting cute in front of you.Sino naman ang magugustuhan yon??"Dahilan ko.
"She's just messing around,Tequila is always like that."
Kumunot ang noo ko."Really?Then why are you defendeng her?"
"I'm not defending her."Jao chuckled at nainis naman ako sa kaniya."Come on don't get mad.We really had a great time today."
"Who's mad??Do i look mad?"Tanong ko sa kaniya.He slowly raised his arms and calmed me down.
"Okay baby, you're not mad."He gently said like he accepted his defeat.I crossed my arms and looked away.
Lumapit siya sa akin at hinapit ako sa bewang papalapit sa kaniya."Sorry about that,you just really look cute when you're jealous."He softly said and i can feel my stomach tingle.
"I can't help it but to tease you."Bulong niya at hinalikan ako.I grabbed on to his nape and kissed him back.I opened my mouth and his tonque battled with mine.
Hinihingal na humiwalay ako sa kaniya at tumingin sa mga mata niya.He licked his lower lip and gulped as his adams apple moved.
"Seriously,can i take you to my condo right now??"
Natatawang tinampal ko ang braso niya.
"Go now,it's getting dark."
