Sick
“Who the heck are you?” she asked the girl who mirrors her.
“I’m your twin sister, dear,” she said,
“What? Is this even real? Can someone tell me this is just a prank? Is the prank so trendy that you even went along?”
“You have a twin sister?” Cloud asked.
“Can’t you see that I’m confused too?” she said.
“Hello babe.” Sierra said sweetly to him.
Lea’s palm with her cheeks. “You fucking slut!”
It also retaliated with a slap.
“How dare you slap your twin sister, lineah. Is that why you welcome me? After all these years I’m gone. Didn’t our mother and father teach you correctly?” she said.
“Don’t question how they raised me, you bitch. You’re the one who seduces the father of my children,” Lea said.
“He likes me, lineah don’t be so rude to share your husband.”
Leah pointed the gun at him.
They are pointing guns at each other. Everyone panicked.
My throat was dry and I couldn’t take my eyes off the laptop on my thigh. This scene is heating up. This teleserye has not really faded. Fortunately, there is YouTube to watch and I finished the story of Cloud and Lea, this is what manang and I used to watch at Theron’s mansion …
“Calm down you too,” said Cloud’s father.
“Shut up old man.” Sierra said. “Why huh? You didn’t prepare for this day?” Sierra’s provocative promise.
“He needs to go to hospital.” Cloud’s promise.
He was about to stand when a man stopped him. Cloud would have approached to evict him but it pulled out two silencers. That’s where everyone fired their guns.
“Are you crazy? He needs to be taken to the hospital!” Leah promises here.
“Let me rephrase that for your twin sister, are you all crazy? Believing in this man?”
I started this telenovela again to understand well, so much has happened. Lea is actually filthy rich. She’s an heiress of a mafia boss. I didn’t see the plot twist coming. It turns out that Lea has a twin sister, who’s greedy and in love with Cloud.
Lea fires her gun. She looks into the middle of the room and there she is lying on the ground. She looked into her gun and saw that she only had two bullets.
Sierra grabbed her hair in the back.
“Why do you have to do this?” she asked.
“I want to get what is mine, isn’t that clear enough from all of you?” She screamed.
She raised her right eyebrow.
“If you’re really my twin you would never do this! Our mother wouldn’t like this! But all I can see right now is a reflection of me that is full of hatred.”
“You don’t know what I’ve been through, lineah! You don’t know everything that happened to me! I didn’t even know our mother so what do I know about her? She’s too weak to protect her children, especially me! “
“But there’s my father, Siera. Our father.”
“I don’t have a father like him, the only father I know is the one who raises me. So you think that your father is good?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’ll let our mother tell you everything.” She said seriously.
“Are our mothers alive?” Lea asked.
“Shouldn’t you be resting Lineah?”
I jumped on the seat of Aunty’s door, holding the tray of food.
I turned off the laptop then set it aside. When the scene is intense then Tyang enters… it’s a pity, I’ll finish it later.
He frowned at me as he laid the tray on the end of the bed.
“What are you doing?”
“J-just watching the show Aunty.”
“Did you really put that show before the rest?”
“Tyang only once. I haven’t watched it in a long time.”
“You can watch that when it’s okay.”
“I’m feeling fine, Aunty. Dad and you are really just over acting.”
It’s just a simple thread.
“Don’t you want to check up? I notice that you feel dizzy and nauseous every day.”
“Maybe Tyang is just insulting me.” I shrugged and drank the milk.
Its eyes narrowed. “You need to check up so that your father and I can be comfortable and give you medicine if you are sick.”
“Tyang doesn’t need that anymore. I feel fine. Every morning my body is like this.” Aniya ko.
She sighed in defeat. He knew I wouldn’t agree especially and I wasn’t fond of the doctor.
After Tyang left, I was ready to leave. I wear black pants paired with yellow plain polo inside, I covered it with a black blazer.
Tyang’s forehead furrowed as I went down. “Oh where are you going not bat ---”
“I know … Dad wants me to stay and take a rest but I can’t. This is the day he gets back to the company. I need to be there.”
“Lineah probably did that earlier so stay right ---”
“I’ll pay him a visit then.” I smiled.
She sighed. “You can still drive Manong there.”
I grinned. Good and Tyang agreed but whether he agreed or not I will still go to Dad.
Are they there too Theron?
Letse naman! Why do I think that, he’s probably there.
My forehead furrowed as our car approached the front of the building. The oncoming car immediately caught their attention.
Letse! Why so many reporters? I mean … I expected there would be reporters but not like this many.
I took a deep breath before getting out of the car.
“Yes Ms. Salvatore!” They immediately beat me.
One even pointed the mic at me. “Ma’am, are the issues about you true?”
What issue is he referring to?
I kept walking.
“How did I get the company back to you? Aren’t the Monteveros already the owners—”
“Are you here for your father?”
“Ma’am!” Manong shouted at me to lose my balance. I haven’t reached the building yet because reporters have blocked us.
I clung so tightly to Manong that my vision blurred. “Are you okay ma’am?” he asked.
The reporters crowded me. My surroundings get blurred. I’m so dizzy right now. I keep on closing my eyes and everytime I open it nothing’s changed.
“Did your family and Montevero get along?”
I close my eyes to the power of the camera flash.
“What can you say now that you have the company back?”
“Ma’am are you okay?” said Manong.
My forehead furrowed when Manong and I saw each other.
What is happening to me?
I looked around. I became sober, my vision slowly darkening.
The white ceiling exposed me. I tried to get up.
“Careful.” Said the one who supported me as I sat down.
“Dad?”
“How are you feeling?”
“W-what happened?” I asked.
“You fainted. Why did you go there? I told you to stay in the house. How do you feel now?”
“I’m fine Dad. It was hot earlier so I did this.”
“You’re not sure about that. You might be sick, Lineah.”
I sighed. You’re not sure about that either Dad. I was caught in my tyan.
I shrugged my head. Maybe I’m just sick … I shouldn’t be over thinking …
“Jusko Lineah! What happened to you?” said Aunty, who had just entered the room.
She rushed towards me and checked me.
“I’m okay Aunty. Calm down!” I chuckled.
“Because this son of yours is ugly. I told him to just rest but he doesn’t want to go.” He said to Dad.
Tyang was about to speak, but he didn’t continue because the doctor had already entered.
“Good afternoon Ms. Salvatore.”
“How is she doc? What happened to her? Why did she faint?”
“Your daughter is fine Mr. Salvatore.” She smiled.
“Thank goodness.” Aunty whispered.
Dad sighed. “Thank God.”
The doctor grinned. “You really should thank him for the blessing. Don’t worry about your daughter. I suggest you take good care of her,” she paused and smiled, “Especially that she’s caring for your grandchild. It’s normal for her to feel nauseous and vomiting because she is pregnant. “
My eyes widened.
“She’s two weeks pregnant.”
Dad and I met eye to eye.
“Congrats Ms. Salvatore! I’ll let you celebrate. If you need something just call me.”
My throat is dry. No matter how many times I don’t think about it I can’t avoid it. Here it is and I confirmed that I was pregnant, the doctor himself said right in front of my family.
“I knew it!” said Aunty.
“You’re pregnant,” he said.
I heaved a deep sigh.
“You’re pregnant Lineah! Thank God! I have a grandchild …” he turned to me. “Denard will definitely be pleased.”
“She’s two weeks pregnant.” Aniya is Dad.
I sighed and put my gaze on my tummy.
“Oh why?”
“Denard’s not with you for the past month. Who’s the father of your child?”
I gulped. I knew he would notice that.
That’s also the question in my mind Dad so I keep avoiding thinking about it but who is it?
Who is the father of my child?
