《Line without a hook || Darlentina》Chapter 16
Advertisement
Tatlong taon na ang nakalipas at masasabi ni Regina na sobrang nyang namimiss si Narda.
Andami nyang thoughts and realizations after Narda left. Sobrang dami ring nangyari. But she's glad that she's able to take care of herself kahit na wala na si Narda sa tabi nya.
Wala silang communications at naiintindihan yun ni Regina dahil isa nang sikat na singer and dancer si Narda sa ibang bansa at dito rin sa Pilipinas.
After three years na wala si Narda, Regina can say that her life became a mess. She's scared, specially, when she found out that she's pregnant dahil pinagsamantalahan sya ni Brian.
Yes, Brian, her boyfriend before but now ex boyfriend. Hindi sya makapaniwala na magagawa yun sa kanya ni Brian, and that happened 1 year ago.
Ngayon ay kasama nya na ang kambal nyang si Maxine at Florence, both girls.
Kahit pa sya ay nahihirapang alagaan ang kambal ay nakayanan nya parin itong alagaan.
Ngayon ay 2 years old na ang kambal at malilikot na ang mga kamay, kaya medyo nahihirapan rin si Regina na mag-alaga sa dalawa.
"Florence, sleep na." Sabi nito at inihiga sa kama ng dahan dahan.
Inayos nito ang damit ni Florence pero bigla itong tumawa. Kaya naman kiniliti muna nya ito bago pinatulog.
"My baby Maxine is peacefully sleeping, she's so cute!" Nakangiting sabi ni Regina at feeling nya ay nagatouch sya.
Kahit pa sya ay nabuntis dahil pinagsamantalahan sya ay hindi naman sya nagregret dahil ang cucute ng mga bata at mahal na mahal nya ang mga ito.
Umupo muna sya at nagpakawala ng buntong hininga. Pagbukas nya ng phone nya ay nakakita sya ng article about kay Narda.
Narda Custodio is coming to her hometown!
Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ni Regina at agad na inayos ang condo. Dito parin kasi sya nakatira dahil ang sabi daw ni Narda kay Ding ay hangga't wala sya, dun muna si Regina dahil pwede nya iyon uwian kapag bumalik na sya.

"Bakit kasi ngayon ko lang nakita?" Kinakabahang sabi ni Regina at agad na naligo, una, para tuloy tuloy na ang pagbabantay nya sa mga baby at pangalawa ay para fresh sya kung sakaling dumating man si Narda.
Pagkatapos na pagkatapos nyang magbihis ay may kumatok. Pagbukas nya ay nakita nya si Narda.
"N-narda?" Gulat na sabi nya.
"Hi Regina." Nakangiting sabi ni Narda. "Pwede bang pumasok muna? Baka may nakasunod sakin."
Tumango naman si Regina at pinapasok na si Narda.
"Hay! Kapagod." Sabi ni Narda nang makaupo sya sa sofa.
May katahimikan ng saglit nang biglang basagin ito ni Regina.
"Narda, I am sorry for what I have done and what I have said to you. I'm just too shocked to hear your confession."
"It's okay, besides, it's all in the past now and I already forgave you a long time ago. I think we should start another memories." Nakangiting sabi ni Narda at agad na niyakap si Regina.
"Nag America kalang, nagenglish ka na." Natatawang sabi ni Regina.
"Nag-eenglish ka rin naman ah." Sabi naman ni Narda at biglang napadapo ang tingin nya sa dalawang batang nasa tabi nya. "Ang cute naman nila! Anong pangalan nila?"
Bigla namang kinabahan si Regina, pero she knows, it's time for Narda to know what happened.
"The one with red t-shirt is Florence. While the one with green t-shirt is Maxine. They are twins!" Masayang sabi ni Regina.
"Kanino silang anak?" Tanong naman ni Narda. Hindi mapigilang mapansin ni Narda ang pag-iba ng expression ni Regina. From Happy to Serious real quick.
"I think it's time for you to know that they're mine."
Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ni Narda. "Anak nyo ni Brian?"
"Yeah, but, I got pregnant with him because pinagsamantalahan nya ako. He's so drunk to even think about what's happening around. What hurts more is he remebered what he did but he's still happy." Naluluhang sabi ni Regina.

Nakita ni Regina kung gaano kagalit si Narda sa mga nalaman nya by just looking into her eyes that she missed the most.
"That man! Do you know where he is right now?" Tanong ni Narda.
"No, wala na kaming communications."
"Dapat lang, after what he did to you. You don't deserve that." Sabi naman ni Narda at napangiti si Regina dito.
Bumuka na sana ang bibig ni Regina pero bigla napasara nang umiyak bigla si Maxine.
"I'm sorry, wait." She said and Narda just smiled.
While Regina is busy on her baby, Narda can't help but think about how matured Regina is right now. Alam nyang mahirap mag-alaga ng bata kahit tignan pa lang dahil napakadaming kailangang asikasuhin.
Pero natutuwa sya dahil nagawa ito ni Regina nang may tyaga at lakas para mabuhay ang dalawa nitong anak.
"You need help?" Tanong ni Narda, but Regina just smiled and shook her head. "I think you need help."
Tumayo si Narda at tinulungang paltan ng diaper si Maxine. Pinopolbohan na ni Regina si Maxine nang makita nyang gising na si Florence.
"Florence! It's me, tita Narda." Malambing na tawag nito kay Florence.
Agad naman syang napangiti nang ngumiti rin si Florence dito.
"She's so cute!" Sabi naman ni Narda at tumingin kay Regina who's just smiling. "Pwede ko ba syang buhatin?"
"Yeah sure!" Nakangiting sabi naman ni Regina.
Pagkabuhat ni Narda kay Florence ay ngumiti agad ito. "Aha! Crush mo ako no? Happy ka sakin eh."
"Loko loko." Sabi naman ni Regina.
"Selos kana nan?" Pabirong sabi ni Narda at inirapan lang sya ni Regina.
They miss bonding with each other, they miss joking around each other and lastly, they miss each other.
Though they are now doing it, but this time it's different, because, they are now with Maxine and Florence.
"Ang ganda ganda naman ng batang to. Pwede ko ba to iuwi?" Sabi ni Narda. "Ay andito na pala ako."
Tumawa naman si Regina habang si Narda ay namula.
"Mukha kayong magnanay." Nakangiting sabi ni Regina at pinicturan silang dalawa.
"Ako na ang nanay nito." Sabi naman ni Narda at dinilaan si Regina.
"Tss."
Tinignan naman ni Narda si Maxine at napansin na kamukha ito ni Regina.
"Hala kamukha mo sya!" Gulat na sabi ni Narda.
"Malamang, anak ko yan eh."
"I mean, pwede naman kasing kamukha sya ni ano, kilala mo na." Paliwanag naman ni Narda.
"Tignan mo baby pictures mo tas itabi mo kay Florence."
Ginawa nga ni Narda at tinitigan ang picture nya tapos ay tinignan naman si Florence.
"Hala! Omygosh, anak ko to." Gulat na gulat na sabi ni Narda. "How come!? Siguro pinaglihian mo ako dito."
"Ay grabe ka!"
"Hala medyo kamukha ko sya nung bata. For sure magiging pogi ren to." Naka smirk na sabi ni Narda.
"Baliw kana talaga." Nailing-iling na sabi ni Regina.
