Sister's Acceptance

Lorie didn't know what to do the moment she stepped her foot back in Philippine soil again. She doesn't know how to tell her sister about their father and specially their mother.

She doesn't know how to start telling her sister about it. She's frighten and afraid about her sister reaction.

Tumabi sa kaniya si Aliyah at hinawakan ang kamay niya.

Napalingon si Lorie kay Aliyah at napabuntong hinga. Sinenyasan siya nito na para bang pinapagaan ang loob niya. Hindi mawari na Lorie kung tunay bang may pakialam sa kaniya si Aliyah o baka kinukuha lang nito ang loob niya.

May pagdududa pa rin siya sa loob niya at hindi niya malaman kung tunay ba ang kabaitan na pinapakita nito sa kaniya. Pakiramdam niya kasi binibilog nito ang ulo niya kaya ilang at iwas pa rin siya sa babae.

Natatakot na kasi siyang magtiwala sa mga taong hindi niya pa gaanong kakilala. Sa mundong kinabibilangan nila mahirap ang magtiwala at umasa sa isang tao. Iyon ang totoo.

Habang nasa sasakyan ay hindi pa rin mapakali ang kalooban ni Lorie. Hindi niya alam kung bakit pero hindi niya pa rin mapanatag ang kalooban niya.

Habang lulan ng sasakyan ay puro negative ang pumapasok sa isipan ni Lorie. Hindi niya mapakali ang sarili at kalooban niya. Ang gusto niya nalang ay maglaho na parang bula.

Dumating na sila sa headquarter nila ngunit si Lorie ay wala pa rin sa hustong huwisyo nito. Tinapik ni Aliyah ang balikat ni Lorie at doon lang ito nagkamalay na nakarating na pala sila.

Alam na alam ni Aliyah kung ano ang nararamdaman ni Lorie. Napagdaanan na niya kasi ang pinagdadaanan ngayon ni Lorie. Ang kinasaklap lang kay Lorie ay ama at ina niya ang nawala sa kaniya. Dobleng sakit iyon para sa isang anak na hangad ay makasama ang magulang.

Matamlay na naglalakad si Lorie papasok sa loob ng headquarter. Bagsak ang balikat at nakayuko ang ulo.

She seems like a zombie walking. She doesn't care about her surroundings or where she's heading to.

Lorie doesn't understand why does it have to be her, her parents - their family. She cant understand why they have to go through all the things. They were so happy and had a simple life back then. In just a blink of an eye everything changes and gone. It fade a way as simple like that. In a short period of time she lost them both - her mother and father.

The pain is unbearable and hard to accept. It's too much that its building up inside her.

Oo, masakit. Sobrang sakit para kay Lorie ang lahat ng mga nangyari but what can she do? She cannot undo the time anymore.

I'm sorry, mom and dad. Usal ni Lorie sa kaniyang isipan. She's really feeling guilty about their parents death.

She doesn't know how to cope from it.

Somewhere in United Kingdom

"My Lord, milady, the messenger is here to come and see you both," the butler gave notice to the lady and lord and bow his head down.

"Let him in, Quentine." the Lord said and motioned the butler.

The butler left them both to get the person that he's talking about.

After a while, the butler came back with the messenger and they both bow their head down.

"Take a sit," the Lord told them and the messenger sat down on the sofa. The butler stay standing on the side while the three started to talk.

"Do you have any news?" Lady Audrey asked the messenger hoping there's a good news this time.

"We found the former bodyguards of yours, milady, but I'm sad to say that they are already dead." The messenger answered the lady's question.

Disappointment was visible in the couple's faces because of the bad news. It will be their chance and hope to know where their daughter's are. But sadly, they will come back from scratch again and will find another lead.

"H-How did they die?" Lady Audrey asked the messenger.

"They were captured and tortured and threw their bodies on the ocean, milady." He answered.

"Did you know if they have children? Or was it just the two of them?" the lady keep on asking trying to gather every information she can.

"I'm sorry, milady, but they have no children." the messenger apologitically said and bend his head down.

Lady Audrey hugged the Lord and she started crying again.

"We will never gonna find our children, we will never gonna see them again." the crying Lady said and bursted into more tears in her husband's chest.

She's been longing for her lost daughter's for two decades now. It's been twenty and more years that they have been taken from them.

It's very painful and tragic for them, specially for her. It's their first born. It's heart breaking and hard to accept

The lady keeps on crying so the Lord dismissed the messenger and he comforted his wife.

Nagulat nalang si Rovie na may biglang yumakap sa kaniya na hindi niya namamalayan.

Nang lingunin niya ang taong yumakap sa kaniya ay ang kapatid niya lang pala. Hinayaan niya ang kapatid na yakapin siya nito at niyakap pabalik ang kapatid.

"I'm so sorry, Rovie. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to do it. I'm so sorry." umiiyak na saad ni Lorie aa kapatid.

Kahit hindi naiintindihan ni Rovie ang sinasabi ng kambal ay niyakap niya pa rin ito.

"Everything will be alright, Lorie. I'm always here for you." paglalambing at pagcocomfort ni Rovie sa kambal.

Habang si Lorie naman ay pinipigilan ang sarili at umiyak lang ng umiyak sa bisig ng kapatid.

Hindi pa siya nito naiintindihan sa ngayon. Sasabihin niya rin sa kapatid ang lahat ng nangyari sa kaniya sa Japan pero hindi na muna ngayon.

Huwag na muna ngayon. Hindi niya pa kaya. Hindi niya pa kayang magkasira sila ng kapatid niya.

Wala na siyang ibang makapitan pa. Ang kambal nalang ang tanging mayroon si Lorie at hindi niya matatanggap kung itatakwil siya ng kapatid niya dahil sa gimawa niya.

Sigurado siyang itatakwil siya nito kapag nalaman niya ang ginawa niya.
