Chapter 59Maybe this is what Kenzo is talking about searching for his missing brother."But what's more curious is that I told you this because you were with Señorito in the past few days, because I heard Miss Marga and Aling Sanya one night on my patio. Miss Marga said that Señorito canceled the engagement them!" Little by little I sat down where I was standing because of the last thing Clara said."Hey, are you okay?" Clara also sat down from her standing position."Y-yeah." None of my own answer to him."It's like your blood suddenly ran away! Your pale mashado!""N-no... I'm just surprised that Señorito should be engaged to Miss Marga." It's good that Clara didn't notice the tremor in my voice, she even nodded at what I said and then continued telling the story."Two weeks ago, the Señorito canceled their engagement, and his parents still have no idea. And for sure the Señyora and Señyor don't know either. Miss Marga looked very frustrated that night, you know Did she really bloo
Chapter 60"Lena!" Mom and Dad immediately came to me while Miss Marga looked like she was possessed by a demon, her hair was a mess, she looked at me badly and was still trying to get out of her grip. The son is indeed Uncle Francis and Uncle Francis is the one who is holding him but he is still lost."Your son will be snatched away! Snake! Kenzo canceled our engagement because of him!" He cried for me and all of us. More and more workers came to my ward to find out what was going on between Miss Marga and me.Until Aling Sanya also arrived. "What's going on here?!" He shouted even though he was far away and he finally got close to Miss Marga."Dyosko! Miss Marga, why – what happened to you?” Aling Saling asked in shock. Miss Marga didn't say anything but she gave me a bad look which is why Miss Marga also looked at where I was standing."Lena?" Aling Sanya's mats are getting bigger. “Why did you fight with Miss Marga?! You are no longer ashamed! I'll make sure if I get to Señyora, S
Chapter 61"Good evening, Mang Berting." Architect Dy said. The father nodded and took the Architect's hand as well. I also noticed the brown envelope he was holding earlier, he opened it and then took the papers and handed them to Dad. The surprise on Dad's face was obvious."Those are the papers that prove that the land your house stands on is not yours, we have the right to evict and demolish your house right now." Page explained by Architect Dy. My eyes widened."Maybe you are mistaken, we have been living here for five generations and this land is ours." Dad answered."No Mang Berting, you can read what's written there, here are all the documents you need to prove that you are not the owner of the land." Engineer Bautista answered and then he returned to those who were waiting with them."Go ahead and start demolishing the house." He added."Let's talk about it carefully for a moment." I stopped but they didn't seem to hear and continued, Dad chased them and begged them not to de
Chapter 62My and I turned around the same time when we heard a strong fall and I looked behind me, my eyes almost fell into my eye sockets when I saw how quickly the wall of our house collapsed."No!" Mom still screamed and then she cried and ran to the other side of our house where they were aiming to tear down the wall. Dad immediately followed him."Don't! Don't destroy our house!" I heard her scream. I also ran to Mom and Dad and that's when I saw Mom who was behind the wall that was falling down and the few workers even said that -"Get out, that wall is about to fall!""Go away!""Mom! Dad, go away!" I also said, the mother looked at my height and the wall was about to collapse where she was standing, but the father immediately went to her and hugged her just in case -"MOM! DAD!" I screamed while crying and they were both hit by the wall which completely collapsed."Berting and Odelia fell through the wall!" People around us panicked."Call an Ambulance!"My and I turned aroun
Chapter 63"Where are Mom and Dad? Are they here too?" I am very worried for them. I hope... I really hope they're okay but I have to find them, see them! I want to be able to check myself that they are okay. Even though.. and then I swallowed one after another because I started crying again when I remembered what happened in the past, the mother was so angry and sick that she even reached the point where she told me to adopt... that... they just picked me up of Dad in the trash.I was holding back too much not to cry but I really wanted to cry, that's why a drop of tears fell from my left eye. You were about to get up from my lying down when I was stopped because there was an IV stuck in one of my hands. But I want to see Mom and Dad!So even though it hurt, I closed my eyes while holding my breath as I forcibly removed the IV from my hand even though it hurt so much.I even rested again in my bed after the IV was removed from my hand, I could already feel the weakness of my body, wh
Chapter 64"It's all my fault... it's all my fault so -" I couldn't finish what I was going to say because the lady hugged me tightly again and then she said -"Everything will be fine. I promise you that.” He told me again and again and then after a few moments the Señyora also settled me and then he said –"The Doctor will be back here soon, I will request that he check on you again and we will request that you can be discharged once the test result is given, then we can go and... uhhmm and see your Mom and Dad. " Is it just me or does he seem hesitant when he said the last sentence about Mom and Dad, but I didn't quite understand it, I just wanted to get out of here so I could see Mom and Dad."Uhm, thank you Señyora." He nodded and then hesitated to smile at me. "Uhm, Señyora, I'm sorry if I have a lot of questions...""The Doctor is coming here anytime, it's better if you rest for a while so when we get a better test result later." I just sighed and nodded to what Señyora wanted
Chapter 65"Alright." The lady just smiled."I'll go first and wait for you downstairs or in the car.""Sure we'll be right next." He waited for Señyor to come out before he spoke to me again. "Selena, please don't bother to understand what you heard earlier from Joven." I nodded at what the lady said."I can't even understand where Señyor is talking about, Señyor, I'm sorry!" Maybe they have in mind that I'm too slow, I understood their English but they were nosebleed, the only thing is that I can't understand what they are saying, I have the idea that it belongs to their family, I just can't understand how it connects to me.He shook his head and then held me by my back. "Let's talk about that later, aren't you excited to see your Mom and Dad?" Then I smiled too."Excited already.""Then let's go." Since I was still a little weak, I was even more grateful that Señyora helped me walk even though we were slow to get to the parking lot where Señyor was said to be waiting.It's strange
Chapter 66Hmm, how can I describe it? There are two mansions in front of me now that are both two stories too, they are on both sides but they look like one house because there is a small part of the house on my second floor that connects them. The color of the house is tawny, which is close to the color of brown.My swimming pool in the middle of the two houses and on the first floor is only half the color of the glass wall, the other part is over space so you can hang out. All in all, it's nice to be on vacation, because you really relax surrounded by trees and then all you can hear is the sound of water and rain around you.I thought we were going inside the mansion but no, we just passed by my patio and then we walked until we got to their backyard which is a vast land, I couldn't see anything but tall pine trees.We walked to my side where there is a paved pathway. Mom and Dad secretly lived there, I just thought that maybe this is because the Señyora and Señyor were very worrie
Chapter 12I gasped as my tears fell one after another, I felt the exact pain I felt the day I found out that Mom and Dad were gone, the only difference was now, Kenzo was here with me. And somehow I feel relieved that I can no longer feel that I am alone."I'm sorry for not being there for you when you needed me the most. I was supposed to be there to accompany you but I wasn't.I even turned my back on you and tried to forget what we are, what we have back then. I know it's too late for me to apologize to you. The damage has been done. I can't take back the time we lost and those times you are hurting, those times you are in so much pain because of me and that tragedy happened.I'm sorry, I thought the decision I had was correct... I thought that over time you will forget about me, what happened to us. The memories we have together especially since you know that I have continued my marriage with Marga. I will not ask you to understand my marriage with Marga. The more I have no reaso
Chapter 11I would have accepted it if you did it in the first months when this issue was still hot, but no! You really waited for my anger towards you to take root before you made such a move. T angina!" I snapped at him."Selena please..." And then he held my palm and gently squeezed my palm and continued what he was saying."Mom and Dad observe that we are distant from each other, like we are still strangers despite the fact that we are siblings. Mom is sometimes asking if we're in a secret fight. She keeps on questioning me, that there is something happened to us here at the hacienda that they didn't know. Reason why we have this cold relationship. She doesn't believe that it's just about you having a misunderstanding with Marga back then.""Well, you shouldn't have told them that you made me pass the time and make fun of me the first time you came here to the hacienda!" I told him using my furious voice while at the same time looking straight into his eyes.I can already feel my
Chapter 9Kenzo immediately came close to me and then he also knelt in front of me to check on me. He violently combed his hair with one of his hands, when he saw how I would cover the wound with my other hand when it was my knee."I told you to be careful. You really won't listen." He said to me annoyed and then he held that hand if he was holding it, I don't even want it if I look at his face and he looks at me badly. I just got angry and let him see my knee."Look at the size of your wound." Kenzo told me strongly and he still doesn't think anything bad about me. In fact, my wound was really big, like the size of my palm. Sigh. I couldn't say anything because I couldn't think of anything other than the pain in my knee and how I could get out of where we were sitting. So I tried to stand up..."Hey... what are you doing?" Kenzo quickly told me and then he held me by both of my waists, it's a good thing he was supporting me because I might have been sitting where I was standing witho
Chapter 8Why do I suddenly feel the same as a child? Because I make Mommy cry?"Selena, Hija let's go inside. We can talk about this more inside. I promise your Mom and I will fix this." Daddy said more but I just shook my head."Why, Dad, don't you want them to know who you and Mommy really are?" I can already hear the whispering of people behind me."Let's talk inside so you can easily finish the problem I brought? What's the difference between what you tell me inside and what you tell me now, right? I'm already my hint as to how this will end, eh! I'm grounded ? What this time, can I walk around until I'm only inside the mansion? Or can I only go to the four corners of my room? And then the helpers will bring me food.""Son, it's not like that..." Daddy answered."Dad, Mom... I understand the part that why you are addicted to work is for Kenzo and I's future. I received that part a long time ago, the only thing I don't understand now is why I am not happy? Yes, I am thankful You a
Chapter 7When I went down into the water, my body immediately relaxed because of the warm water on the bathtub and then I put my knees together and hugged them, then put my chin on it."Doesn't anyone even know that it's my birthday today..." I said to the air and before my tears started to fall, I closed my eyes tightly.After taking a bath, I am feeling too lazy to take care of myself so I ended up lying in bed naked and hair is still wet from the bath. I didn't even notice that I fell asleep completely. It's just that I fell asleep a bit quickly because I heard noises outside.It looks like their fun outside is in full blast. So, I got up from my bed and went straight to the walk in closet to get my clothes on and then I decided to go out to see what was going on outside but I won't let them see me.I just want to see what's going on because I can't see anything from here in my room except the roof of the tent they built.I'm even a little weirded out by myself because, I went out
Chapter 6The party, dining, dancing continued since my orchestra was arranged for this party. I didn't even notice that with the number of guests there was a line in front of our table. Everyone seems to want to meet me at my bonus because everyone is carrying a gift that they seem to want to give to me personally.I just noticed that Mommy has been busy on her phone for a while, even when we get up for a phone call, she seems to be my problem, well I think it's just basing on her facial expression.Until the next person in line was Mommy and Daddy's friend who talked to us."Hello again Hija." And then he smiled at me. I smiled too."Um, hi." I shyly told him."Your Mommy's speech for you was so touching that I even cried a little." My mouth fell open in shock and he smiled as he finally laughed."Selena by the way, I haven't even introduced my comrade to you yet." Daddy intervened in our conversation."Let me do the honor mate..." And then he extended his hand to me and then he sai
Chapter 5"I love you Son." And then he hugged me tighter. Symepre, I hugged him back and smiled too."I love you too, Mom." I answered him. Mommy loosened a little from hugging me and then she pressed our foreheads together. He closed his eyes and said –"Happy eighteenth birthday, son." I smiled too."Thank you, Mom." Daddy approached me at the same time as Mommy loosened her hug. I just noticed that Daddy was holding a paper bag in my hand."Happy birthday, son." And then he handed me the paper bag. I smiled and then reached for it."Thank you Dad.""I love you too Hija." And then Daddy also kissed me on the side of my forehead. Mommy turned to me and then said –"I'm sure you'll be happy when you see your Dad's and I gift for you, Hija." So we moved to the couch so I could open their gift to me.What I got from the paper bag that Daddy handed me was a black rectangle box, Cartier was even written in the middle of the box. There is a red ribbon in the middle so I pulled it to open
Chapter 4What's up with them? I even asked myself and then I continued walking until I reached the patio. There, I saw a big tent with many round tables and chairs set up in the middle."Good morning Miss Selena." Looking at my side, I saw Aling Saling checking at our helpers. It seems that the saying old habbit, die hard is really true. Just like when I was one of the hacienda's helpers, he also watched over our workers and checked who was cheating. Sigh."Uh, yeah. Good morning too, Aling Saling." And until now I still have no idea what's going on and everyone is busy... Fortunately, before I could ask him, he told me what I wanted to know."Have you met Senyora and Senyor? Today is the feeding program and later the Doctors that the Senyora spoke to will come for a free check up."Oh, okay. So, I didn't know Mom and Dad were coming here and only now, I remember that Clara's Mama told me about this event."Señorito Kenzo and Miss Yelena are also around, it's funny and they are also
Chapter 3"Now you look like Mr. Sawabe, Selena!" And he and Kenzo laughed.Kenzo also stopped tickling both of my hips but I still laughed."Dad do you have your phone with you?" Yelena asked out of the blue."Um, yeah." And then Kenzo took out his phone from his pocket."Perfect! Let's take pictures!" Yelena answered excitedly. So, that's our first picture, I was lying on my carpet smiling while Kenzo took the picture and Yelena and I were on either side of me.We also left many posts, like Yelena is in the middle and Kenzo and I are on both sides. There are solo pictures of Yelena, my solo pictures, as well as Kenzo. Yelena only has two of them."I'll take a solo picture of you and Daddy, Selena!" Yelena said later."Huh? Don't." I told him right away. Maybe the pictures are okay too, there are a lot of them. "Alright, I'm going to prepare the cupcakes so you can put designs on them, Yelena."I was about to stand up from the carpet we were sitting on when Kenzo suddenly grabbed my
