ang kargador book 2

"Talaga bang pumunta ka dito para sabihin sa akin na kasama mo ang ibang babae na nakasiping at nabuntis mo?" “Ano?” Si Travis ay ang nagsalita, ang boses niya ay ipinakita ang gulat habang nakatingin siya mula sa akin papunta kay Kian. Ang madalas na blankong tingin ni Kian ay nanatili na para bang hindi siya apektado sa sakit na dulot niya sa akin. “Wag natin itong gawin dito, Leslie. Alam mong hindi ko siya pwedeng iwan ng basta-basta.” Suminghal ako. “Kahit kailan ay hindi kita pinigilan. Alam mo? Dapat ay hindi ka na pumunta dito. Nanatili ka na lang dapat kasama niya dahil doon na ang katapatan mo ngayon at wala na ako sa buhay mo.” Kumunot ang noo ni Kian, lumapit siya at tinakot niya ako ng konti gamit ang tangkad at maskuladong katawan niya, “Anong ibig mong sabihin? Asawa kita.” "Ex-wife," binibigkas ko ang mga salita nang hindi man lang nag-iisip. Hindi ko inisip ang alinman sa mga ito ngunit wala akong pakialam dahil ang aking buong pagkatao ay tila sumasang-ayon na ito ang pinakamahusay para sa akin. “Gusto ko ng divorce, Kian.” Lumaki ang mga mata niya, hindi niya mapigilan ang gulat dahil sa mga salita ko at proud ako sa sarili ko na nakakuha na rin ako ng reaksyon na hindi galit o lamig mula sa kanya. “Ang parehong divorce papers at resignation ko ay makakarating sayo sa madaling panahon.” Ang dagdag ko bago pa mawala ang gulat niya at hindi ko siya hinintay na sumagot habang humarap ako sa gulat rin na si Travis. “Ihatid mo ako pauwi, Travis.”

“Pipay!” galit na sigaw ng aking madrasta mula sa kanyang silid habang abala sa pag-aayos ng kanyang mukha. Halos magputok ang ugat sa kanyang leeg, na para bang ako ang dahilan ng lahat ng problema niya sa buhay. “Bakit po, Madam?” mahinahon kong sagot habang tuloy sa paglalampaso ng sahig. “Madam”—iyon ang itinawag niya sa akin mula pa noong una, at dahil sa takot, hindi ko na rin inusisa kung bakit. Ako nga pala si Piazza Fontana Vega, o mas kilala bilang Pipay. Dalawampu’t dalawang taong gulang na ako, ngunit hanggang Grade 5 lang ang naabot ko. Natigil ako sa pag-aaral noong mag-asawa muli ang aking ama. Simula noon, naging parang alipin na ako ng aking madrasta. Araw-araw, pareho lang ang eksena sa bahay. Ako ang gumagawa ng lahat ng gawain habang si Madam at ang kanyang anak na si Claire ay nag-e-enjoy sa luho ng buhay. Pero kahit ganoon, may lihim akong pangarap. Minsan, sa mga tahimik na gabi, iniisip ko kung darating ba ang araw na makakawala ako sa ganitong sitwasyon. “PIPAY!” muling sigaw ng aking madrasta, na tila mas nagiging galit pa. Agad kong iniwan ang mop at tumakbo sa kanyang kwarto. Kailangan kong magmadali. Kapag natagalan ako, mas matindi ang parusa. “Madam, may kailangan po ba kayo?” magalang kong tanong sa aking Madrasta. "Bakit ba ang bagal mong kumilos? HETO! Labhan mo pati ang damit ng anak ko!” sigaw niya, sabay hagis sa akin ng maruruming damit. Tumama ito sa aking mukha, pero wala akong nagawa kundi damputin ang mga ito. “Opo, Madam,” sagot ko, habang pinipigil ang pagbagsak ng luha.

Axel, handsome, smart, with a secret that hasn't been revealed yet, a secret that could clear up that mess of conflicting feelings that he was just having, that made him feel bad of what he felt for HER. Was it possible to have such strong feelings for someone who was connected to you by blood? But was she? She was the only person who helped him, who got him out of his crisis, who calmed his head when he started thinking too much. Emma was his sleeping pill, and the heartbeat that made his heart live. Ali never let her feelings control her, she didn't want to get hurt, and she never would let anyone get inside that part of her and hurt her.

Someone who could give him what Ali never did in all those years? Would Alison have understood how important he really was to him or let him fly away from her? Liam had eyes always and only for one person, but that person never looked at him, her attention was focused on someone else, and Liam had done nothing but remain silent, let that love consume him silently until he met her, Ellen. She was everything a man could want in a woman, she consumed him, turned him around in her hands. But what would have happened if that love, that little flash of light had returned when he least expected it? If he had awakened in him that something he thought was lost forever? Who would have chosen Liam?
