Montecillo Series - Matthew Montecillo (Completed)

Using the last ACE

Angeline POV

Nasa mansion kami ng lolo ni Matt. As what has been talked about andito kami to clear things out. But I wasn’t going to back out kahit sinabi na ng parents niya na susuportahan nila si Matt sa desisyon niya.

I will use anything to keep him with me, kahit pa may masaktan ako. Nasa salas lang kami habang naghihintay kay Lolo Faustino. I was shaking and I feel like my nerves stop working along with my body as soon as makita ko si Lolo na paparating.

Nakita ko ang ngiti nito nang makita kami. Binati siya ng anak niya before lumapit si Matt at yumakap dito, hinalikan pa nito siya sa pisngi.

Tinignan niya ako saka nagsalita siya,

“Hija, come and hug me. You’re my future apo.” Napangiti ako saka niyakap siya. I was by his side after that. Magsasalita n asana si Matt when I cut him off. I know he was gonna say na di naman talaga kami engaged.

“Everyone, I have a news for you.” Lahat sila tinignan ako lalo na si Matt na matalim ang tingin. I smirked, tignan ko lang kung ganyan pa din ang itingin mo sakin.

“I know this is abrupt pero kanin ko lang din naconfirm.” Lahat sila nagtinginan saka nagsalita si Mommy.

“Dear, what’s happening?” nanginginig akong pumunta sa kanya. I looked at everyone na nasa silid. Buti nalang at wala ang ibang Montecillo. I was talking about his siblings.

“Mom... Everyone… I am… pregnant with Matt’s child.” Napasinghap silang lahat. Lolo smiled after that. The parents of Matt look worried while mine was full of happiness. Matt was glaring daggers at me.

“What the… we did not even share a bed much more with doing it.” Sabi ni Matt.

“It was the day you decided to go back to the Philippines, you were so drunk and I was the only one taking care of you.” I said to him.

“Lies. Makikita din natin ang sagot once na magpa DNA ka, for now, I can’t accept na may anak ako sayo. Pwe! Sa kagaya mo pa na may kalantaring ibang lalake.” He spitted and that made me still. May alam na ba siya?

“HInay hinay sa mga sinasabi mo Matthew.” Pagbabanta ni Dad.

“Kung sana matino niyang anak niyo, I would not accuse her. But now, may nalaman ako about sa kanya tapos ngayon mag aanounce siya na anak ko ang dinadala niya, that’s about enough.” He said saka kinuhan ang isang flashdrive. Napatigil ako saka tinignan siya.

“What’s that?” I asked, bahagya pang aabutin kung ano man yun.

“You will see, I will let everyone in that f*****g office to know who that woman that heeps ok coming to me.” He said with a smirk.

“Ano bang ibig mong sabihin ha? Iniinsulto mo na kami ng pamilya ko.”my dad intervened.

“You wanna know? Okay, I will let you know.” Ibinigay niya sa secretary niya ang flashdrive saka ipinansak sa laptop niya. Biglang bumulaga samin ang isang video.

It was the main entrance of thebuilding from my condo. The next thinf we saw was me entering the building na may kasama at ang mas masaklap, ang sabay kaming pumasok sa room ko. I was stilled. What the… he was tailing me pala.

Matapos yun ay nakitang nasa labas kami ng isang restaurant. We were kissing each other. It was around lunchtime ata, but it was clear. There was a date and time. The man was also kind of obvious. Nakita ko pang napasinghap ang Mommy at Daddy ni Matt. I knew my luck ended just as it started.

I look at lolo with wide eyes. He was fuming mad. I saw how his eyes were getting wide as well as he was stroking his chest. He was also breathing heavily, I think he was going to have an attack.

I was shivering. I thought this was my ace, this was my chance. Nakita kong lumuha si Mommy habang yakap si Daddy, Daddy was looking at me with dangerous eyes.

“What is this Angeline?! I thought si Matt ang gustong gusto mo?!” he was comforting mom. How I wish Alex was here.

“Now you know why I doubt it’s my child?” Matt said looking at me with disgust.

I was frightened, I ran away from there. I was crying nang makalabas na that I also went to my car and started driving.

My eyes were blurry, halos di ko makita ang daan. I was ashamed. I was humiliated with that video. How can I defend myself now? Alam kong yun ang paniniwalaan nila instead of me.

Nagriring ang phone ko na nasa passenger seat. I saw it was Mom calling. I got my phone but it slipped pababa sa ilalim ng chair.

I tsked and checked, clear pa naman ang road. I went down to get my phone. Nung nakuha ko ito, saka umangat ang ulo ko only to see na may truck akong kakasalubungin and pagewang gewang ako sa pagmamaneho.

I screamed nung makita kong sobrang malapit na ang truck and I was to get hit. I maneuvered the car paiwas but isang puno naman ang aking tatamaan. It was too late to swerve it to another side dahil tumama na ako.

My head hit the steering wheel ang nagdugo ito.I forgot to use my seatbealt at yung airbag ko hindi nagpop. I was in labored breathing. I checked my thighs dahil nakakafeel ako na parang may mainit na likido na dumadaloy. Dugo, dugo ang nakita ko. I screamed, screamed for help. I kept screaming hanggang sa nag dilim ang paningin ko.

Matt POV

I was shivering in madness as well as guilt. Baka nga anak nila ni kuya yun. I couldn’t remember na may nangyari samin. Yes, I was drunk the day before I decided to ride a plane and just come home. I miss Irish that much.

Nasa salas pa din kami nina mom and dad pati na din ang mga magulang ni Angeline. Lolo was brought to his room by his nurse. Halos atakihin ito sa galit nang makita ang video.

“I’m sorry, Matt. It was clear to us na ikaw ang gusto ni Angeline. It jas never crossed our minds na may iba pa siyang nakakasama.” I smirked and lift my head na kanina pang nakayuko.

“Marunong akong tumupad sa usapan. I made the agreed to the deal kasi said kay lolo ay pinagbantaan niya ako sa safety ng girlfriend ko dito.” I said na ikinagulat nanaman nila.

“Oh my God, what is happening to her?” she whispered enough for us to hear. Biglang nagring ang phone ni Tita Isabel at napakunot noo niyang sinagot ito.

“Hello?”

“Yes this is she?”

“What? Anong nangyari?”

“Oh my God. Saan siya dinala?”

“Oh God and she’s pregnant. Yes, pupunta kami jan ngayon na.”

She dropped her phone and cried. Saka siya yumakap kay Tito Drew.

“Oh my God, honey. Si Angeline, she got accident. My God yung baby niya. We need to go. Nabangga daw siya sa isang puno.” She cried and it made us all stand.

“Let’s go honey” sabi ni Tito Drew. Ayaw ko man pero napasunod kami nila daddy at mommy sa kanila.

We were driving papunta dun following their car. Mom said something in a soft voice.

“My God pano kung kay Alex yung pinagbubuntis niya?” She hugged dad.

“Pananagutan ni Alex yun. Kaya pala ganun siya ka excited at mausisa pag si Angeline ang pinag uusapan.” Dad said, napakunot ang noo ko.

“He knew her ever since dad. Nagkita na sila dati pa. Ngayon lang parang umusnong yung pagkakakilala nila.” I said.

“Is that so? Kung mapatunayang si Alex ang ama, mas madali na iyon sayo anak.” He said.

Kumunot ang noo ko saka umiling. I sense something wrong. Hindi ko alam kung bakit, but I think this is more to that.

Nakarating kami ng hospital nina tito, nasa emergency room pa daw si Angeline, We sat outside the emergency room. I hear the sniffs made by my mom and Tta Isabel na kapwa niyayakap ng kani kanilang asawa.

Ilang oras kami nag antay bago lumabas ang doctor. Ang sabi nito ay ligtas naman si Angeline. Unfortunately, it was not the same case with the baby.

Todo iyak si Tita Isabel para kay Angeline. Mom also cried out of guilt. Sana daw ay di nangyari ito kung wala kaming ginawa againsta the agreement. I told Mom it was better than fool anyone with lies. I also don’t want to be trapped in that agreement.

I also went to the doctor to ask if possible ang DNA doon sa namatay na bata and me. I just want to check kung akin nga ang bata. She was showing a bump already with the dress she wore kanina. I guess everyone as able to see.

Sumagot naman ng oo ang doctor saka sinabi ko sa kanya na I need one. Tumango ito saka sinabihan ako na makukuha ko ito sa last day ng month. Tumango ako saka bumalik sa loob and saw Mom stopped crying habang yakap ni dad sa couch habang ang mga magulang ni Angeline ay nasa may kama nito.

She was still sleeping. I told Mom and Dad na pwede naman nilang bisitahin si Angeline bukas.

“Pwede ka bang sumama iho sa pagbalik nila? Angeline might look for you. Please?” pakiusap ng mommy niya. I nodded kahit na ayaw ko.

“I will let my brother come too. Siya ang nandun sa video kanina.” They frowned.

“Kuya mo yung lalakeng yun?” tanong ni Tito Drew.

“He is my… other son, Drew. They say they met before at ngaun lang lubusang nagging malapit.” Tito Drew nodded.

“Siguro di makabubuti pag nakita ni Angeline yung lalakeng yun. All I know is si Matt ang gusto niya.” He used his mouth to point to the woman on the bed.

“Sige po. Bukas nalang po. I know we all need rest. I’m sorry about the baby.” Tito and Tita nodded and thanked us, we thanked them as well saka tuluyan nang umalis.

Pagkauwi naming sa bahay ay sumalubong si Cristoff na may dalang juice papunta sana siya sa garden kasi nandun daw sila ni kuya at nag aassemble nung robotics niya. Kaagad namang pinuntahan ni Dad sa garden sina Kuya, humabol si Mom, knowing what dad would do.

I followed them at nakita ko nalang na nakahandusay si Kuya. Dad punched him. Saka niya kinuwelyuhan si kuya.

“Talaga bang kahihiyan ang dadalhin mo sakin, ha? Pareho lang kayo ng nanay mo!” saka niya sinpak si Kuya ulit.

Nang akmang lalapit nanaman siya kay Kuya ay pinigilan na siya ni Mommy.

“Stephen stop! Nasasaktan yung bata ano ba!” she shouted. That was the first time. Always lang malambing at soft side lang ni mommy ang pinapakita niya samin.

“Damn, I don’t want you to disgrace this family. Pero kahit sarili mong pamilya ganyan ang gagawin mo. Pasalamat ka at ayaw ng kapatid mo sa kanya.” Dad said then left them.

Mommy helped him up and brushed off his dirty clothes.

“Mommy, anong nagyari?” Cristoff asked.

“Tita have I done wrong?” Kuya asked Mommy.

Mommy looked at me and sighed,

“Go. Talk to Matt. Sa office na kayo. I think you need to talk with him anyway. Cristoff, bukas nalang kayo magpatuloy.” Mommy said. Kuya looked at me curiously.

“Sa office nalang tayo.” I said saka naglakad pa office.

He was right behind me. Naupo na ako sa lobe couch at siya sa gilid ko nakaupo.

“How long have you known Angeline?” bigla siyang nabato saka nanlaki ang mata.

“Since we were young. We just met, but we did not become friends. Nagkita nalang ulit kami nung nasa States siya. She told me how much she likes you. I didn’t know I was a Montecillo then,”

“And since then din ba, lagi na kayong nagkikita?”

“No, that was the last night, ngayon nalang ulit kami nagkita nung nasa skwelahan pa siya. But she left for States when she found out na dun ka na nag aaral.”

“She often comes and goes sa States and Pinas. Were you seeing each other?” I asked dahil bigla a din siya nabato ulit.

“Matt…” he started but I cut him off.

“She said she is pregnant. But I was positive na walang nangyari samin. And since kayo ang palaging nagkikita, does that invlolve you in the equation?” I asked looking at him.

Nanlaki ang mga mata niya. He looked at e worriedly.

“Is that… Is that what Dad was saying?” he asked and I nodded.

“Where is she?” Tanong niya

“She’s in the hospital. Naaksidente siya kanina. Unfortunately, she lost the baby.” I said nang biglang tumayo si Kuya at akmang aalis na pero pinigilan ko ito.

“Her parents doesn’t want you there.” Habol ko

“W-why? Do they know?” he asked with wide eyes.

“Yes… They saw you in the video I showed them to tell them hindi ako ang ama ng bata.” He went back and punched me once, then kinuwelyuhan din ako.

“f**k you. Do you know how hurt she was nang di mo siya pinapansin? Do you know how much she wanted to be appreciated and valued na hinahanap niya nalang sa iba? Sakin niya nakuha yun. Kahit saglit gustong gusto niya na ikaw ang magpaparamdam niyon sa kanya. Now, she had even lost her only chance to be with you. That kid she carried is not f*****g mine. It was yours! Yes, nagsesex kami but I always wear protection dahil ang gusto niya ay galing sayo. Hindi mo alam kung gano kasakit ang maging pangalawa sa pag pipilian niya. Pangalawa ako sa kanya na katulad din nang kay Mommy!” mahaba niyang explanation. Mamula mula ang kanyang mga mata. I stilled.

“Hindi ko anak yun. I know nothing happened between me and Angeline.” He laughed sarcastically.

“Parehong pareho ka nga sa kanya. Mabuti nalang di nabuhay yung bata, mas kawawa. I’ll find a way makita ko lang kung maayos na siya. Kasi alam ko namang wala kang pakialam sa taong naghahabol sayo.” Pinakawalamn niya ako saka lumabas ng office

I fixed myself. Nasa palaisipan ko pa din ang sinabi niya.

That kid she carried is not f*****g mine. It was yours! Yun ang sabi niya na paulit ulit nasa loob ng utak ko pero hinahanap ko yung memoryang may nagyari samin.

Hindi ko talaga matandaan. I know nothing happened. I will never touich her even in my drunken state.

Lumabas ako ng office saka nakita si Mommy na nasa baba. Nasa sala siya at halatang nag aalala. She saw me saka siya lumapit at hinaplos ang mga pisngi ko.

“Baby, what happened to your Lips?” Mukhang napuruhan ako ni Kuya dun.

“Wala Mommy, Nakita mo si Kuya?” tumango siya

“He went out at sinabing may gagawin lang siya. But I see he was fuming mad. What happened? Did you explained to him” I nodded.

“Let him, he needs space.” Yun lang ang sabi ko.
