Chapter: Aladin
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
He moved swiftly in the gabi. His dark skin and hair blending evenly with the majestic trees surrounding Haring Linceo's palace. He was there to reclaim his anak, Laura.
Once he was inside the palasyo, he made lakad lakad to the kwarto of Haring Linceo. He wasn't there. Putik! Where is he? What has he done with my anak?
He wandered through the halls of the palasyo, trying to remain silent and inconspicuous. He even had to tie up one of the house servants because she screamed. But before he did, he asked her, "Asan na si Linceo?"
She answered "Nasa dining room po." She pleaded for mercy, but he just ignored her.
When he arrived at the dining room, he hid behind one of the curtains and watched as Haring Linceo and Laura sat eating. Laura. . . how laki she is now! he thought to himself, and his heart swelled his pride. That's my Laura. She looks just like her mother. . .
Haring Linceo suddenly choked on his alak. He stood up and stared at Aladin, who was partly seen from behind the kurtina. "Aladin!" he spluttered, white as a sheet, as if he'd seen a ghost.
"Yes, it's me." Aladin replied, stepping out and showing himself completely. He looked at Laura, who was wearing a very naguguluhan na expression. "Laura. . ." he said, and walked towards her. He was blocked by Linceo.
"Anong ginagawa mo here?" Linceo demanded furiously. "I heard you were killed by Adolfo. I've put him in jail."
Aladin looked at Linceo with scorn in his eyes. "Dear friend, I faked my death. Do you really think I'd leave my daughter all alone?"
Laura gasped. "Daughter?! Tatay, what's he talking about?" she said to her father. "First Florante, and now this!"
Aladin watched her reaction painfully. She had tears in her eyes, which were like his. My own anak, not making me kilala. . . he thought sadly. "You have my eyes, anak." He told her.
Haring Linceo pushed him back. "Don't make kinig to him, anak! He's lying!" he said to Laura, who looked back and forth between the two of them, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"No! Don't make kinig to him! He's making making sinungaling! I'M your real tatay! Linceo is not your father! He just took care of you when I went away!" Aladin said, looking desperately at her.
"Tigil na! Tigil! I can't take this anymore!" Laura said, putting her hands over her tainga. She didn't Who's lying? Who's telling the katotohanan?
"Laura. . . " Aladin said slowly, tasting the name on his lips. "Laura!" He pushed Linceo away, making him stumble and lose consciousness.
"Get away from me!" Laura screamed and backed away from him.
"Laura, ako ang iyong tatay." Aladin said, looking her in the eye. "I faked my own death. Linceo is my friend. Well, used to be. . . "
Laura stopped backing away from him. She stared back at him and said, "Ikaw? You're my tatay?" She shook her head to clear her thoughts. She suddenly had a very angry look. "Liar! Get out of my house!" she screamed, and called for the guards.
Aladin was thrown out by the gurards of Haring Linceo's palace. He sat down on the medyo basa at medyo tuyo na ground outside it. He remembered why he had left Laura in the first place.
Katalina, her mother had just died. Aladin was so grieved, that he had to get away from it all, but didn't have anybody to leave little Laura to. Linceo. . . he has Aladin's closest friend. He faked his own death, managed to frame Adolfo and went away to grieve for Katalina.
