Chapter 91Was everything he told me when we were at the Hacienda just a lie? So, like what Marco had said, he would get me? Into my pants? And before I could cry in front of Mommy, I quickly stood up. Mommy will be surprised for sure if I cry all of a sudden."Where are you going Selena?" Mom said to me with confusion. I bit my lower lip. I'm sorry Mom, if I have to lie to you now but everything is so complicated, that even I am getting a hard time, understanding everything that is happening."Just a moment Mom, I just suddenly remembered something that I should check, is it okay if I try on those gowns later?""But -""Later Mom." And then I pulled my jacket that was resting on my vanity chair and quickly left my room leaving Mom and the two helpers there.I don't care anymore and I don't want anything else to happen now but to talk to Kenzo. No. I will not allow him and Marga to marry. His mine. Kenzo is mine! He was the only man I loved! He is my universe, my star who lights up my
Chapter 92He blocked his two hands on both sides of me so that I couldn't move from where I was standing and then he looked directly into my eyes."Forget what other people will say in case they find out about us. Just think about how Mom and Dad will take all of this, if you still insist on how you feel about me. Especially Mom, always remember that her heart is weak. Whether it's a small or big thing as long as it will make her disappointed, there is a chance it can be the reason for a heart attack.""I love you." That's all I said and then my tears fell one after the other."Is your love for me more important than our parents?" He raised his one hand and then he touched my jawline and then he brought his face closer to mine until there was only one finger between our faces."Don't ruin whatever relationship you have with Mom and Dad, right now. Better keep it that way. The kind Selena that everyone loves. You're clear in the hacienda I told them that we were so close to each other
Chapter 93"It's good that you're awake." Yelena told me. I glared at him."Seriously how old are you? You sound like my Mom!" Yelena frowned at what I said."Good morning to you too Selena!" Yelena said sarcastically."You know if it wasn't really against the law to hit a child you would really hit me!" I was angry when I answered him, but my boy didn't seem to be really afraid because he kept rolling his eyes at me."Why are you here? It's still morning!" I still complain to him. Also, as I remember, I locked the door before I went to sleep last night, so how did this guy get in?"Go back to Dad!""But I prefer being with you, than Daddy because you are also a girl, you will understand me better. You can relate to what I like and dislike." He said more. I frowned at him."What the hell - I mean what are you talking about?" It's rude to ask him."We've been here at the Hacienda for three days but you still haven't come out of your room. Aren't you bored here? It's only the four corne
Chapter 94"But I'm not Mommy. My Mommy and I are different. I like Selena." I'm in love with this boy! I'm running out of things to say, it's crazy!"I started liking you when I heard Daddy's story about you." My brow furrowed and I was completely focused on Yelena, but I didn't ask what the story was, I just waited for what she had to say next."Daddy told me; he loves you.""He loves me?" Pretending to be confused when asking Yelena, she nodded one after the other."Yeah, because you're his little sister." And then Yelena also told the story of my loss when I was a baby and again in English version. Sigh. When can I hear the tagalog version of this story? Uhm, maybe I'll tell the story."Isn't that how it should be? Love your family." Ah, yes, because why do I always forget that Kenzo and I are brothers? Turns out he is also my long lost brother. Sigh.I simply combed my hair, it's a different love because suddenly I thought when he said that Kenzo loved me. It's funny that I hope
Chapter 95"Why are you concerned about me now? Besides, you know that I would have appreciated your complimenting me, otherwise you will end up being a bad person for my bad behavior. Is that true?" He smiled at me and then removed his hand from my cheek.Our conversation was interrupted when the sliding door suddenly opened and Aling Saling entered. I was even surprised, eh. And Aling Saling wasn't the only one who came in followed by Clara and another helper in a maid uniform carrying a tray of food."Good morning. You haven't had breakfast yet, Miss Selena, so I asked where you are so that Miss Yelena can bring you breakfast." The contents of the trays they brought were three pieces of pan cake with my butter on top. I don't like that.I even said to myself. There is also bacon, two sunny side up eggs. Also my blue berries and strawberries, crossette then my two orange juices, a glass of hot chocolate that is still a bit smoky and also a cup of coffee."Wow! Just the perfect time
Chapter 96"OMG! Are you okay Sister Clara?" Yelena asked him over acting, I mean Yelena asked worriedly.Clara smiled and then said –"Ah, yes I'm fine Miss Yelena." And then he raised the fork he took. "It's dirty.""Why don't you just get a new one." I told him. Yelena turned to me."You are being careless Selena, look what happened Sister Clara's clothes are all wet and stinky for sure.""I'm sorry." I said sarcastically to Clara. "I didn't mean it, I didn't notice that the juice was on my side." There was one minute when we stared at each other, I'm sure he was aware that I meant everything that was happening."Is there something wrong Clara?" I asked him sweetly. At first, his mouth was open and it looked like he could say what he wanted to say to me, but in the end he just shook his head."Nothing Miss.""Good. Is it okay before you change your clothes, give me a fork first, because I need it." And then I sweetly smiled at him."Selena, let her change her clothes before you ask
Chapter 97"Why is that?" I asked myself another question, because I have opened almost all the drawers here but I can't see where the garlic is, because it is not inside the fridge either.Until I suddenly heard it break out of nowhere! My eyes widened and instead of being scared and going back to my room, I don't know what happened but I chose to go to the source of the noise, it was in our wine cellar!While I was walking, what was I thinking about? Maybe it's my ghost and the ghost is making that noise or it's the worst thief! But my guards are at the gate of the subdivision as well as in front of the house, so how can my thief enter?Every night, almost all the lights in the house are turned off to save on the electricity bill and the only light left is the small lampshades mounted on the walls. It's just that the light of the lampshades doesn't help because his light is really weak.I made sure to walk slowly so as not to make any noise until I got to my wine celler room. It's d
Chapter 98"I love the idea of marrying you but -" Until I couldn't hold it in anymore and started crying. I tiptoed and then I touched his cheek and then I smiled sadly."It's a good thing you're getting married tomorrow and at least I'm sure you won't do this to another woman. You will marry them but in the end you won't marry them. It's painful because you've only made me depend on you until now. You say you love me. , that I am the one you want to marry, you get my hopes up that we can still be two, but tomorrow you will present another woman at the altar. I don't know if it's just your drunkenness or if you're really sincere, I'm confused too. I don't know what to feel. So it's okay Kenzo, it's okay please!" I told him crying and then I pushed him away from me and I ran back to the kitchen and as if by magic I found the garlic I was looking for.And the garlic I got from the kitchen last night is what I used to raise my body temperature to make it look like I have a fever. So,
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
