Kabanata 56
Sasabihin
na ni Emy kay Leon na si Carlotta ang kanyang ina. Hindi ito matatanggap ng
binata at pipiliin na huwag na lang ito ipaalam pa sa kahit na sino. Iniisip
kasi niya ang kalalabasan ng lahat at kung paanong lulubha pa lalo ang
kalagayan nila ni Gen ngayon pa na lagi na silang pinasusundan ni Edward. Mahuhuli
ni Edward ang dalawa sa Ropa matapos sabihin ni Leon kay Gen na si Carlotta ang
kanyang ina. Isang away sa pagitan ng dalawang lalaki ang magaganap. Hindi nila
sasabihin kay Edward ang totoo ukol sa pagkatao ni Leon. Muling babalik si
Carlotta kila Emy ngunit magmamatigas pa rin ito na hindi sabihin ang totoo sa
kabila ng pagmamakaawa ni Carlotta. Hindi makakatiis si Mang Epong at ilalantad
nito ang totoo kapalit ng pangako na mamahalin nito at pangangalagaan ang anak
gaya ng kanyang ginawa sa nakalipas na mga taon. Sa pag-alis nila Gen at Leon
sa Ropa ay dudukutin sila ng mga tauhan ni Henry at malalagay sa alanganin ang
kanilang mga buhay.
Ang
bilis naman ng mga pangyayari ngayon at tila ba sinisiksik ang bawat kabanata.
Dumating na naman ang panahon na hindi na iba sa mga palabas na gaya nito, ang
pagpapadukot sa mga pangunahing tauhan at ang pagpapahirap sa kanila, na siyang
dadagdag sa mga suliranin na kanilang kinakaharap. Sa pagpapakita ni Carlotta
ng isang bahagi ng kanyang pagkatao na taliwas sa mga ipinapakita niya nitong
mga nakalipas na kabanata, mapagtatanto na sa kabila ng lahat ay isa lamang
siyang ina na naghahangad na makapiling muli ang mga anak. Makikita rin na tila
nagkakaroon na sila ni Henry ng hindi pagkakaunawaan at malamang ay magiging
mahalaga ito sa kung paano magtatapos ang palabas.
“Gen,
isa akong Pierro” –Leon
Episode 56
Emy
tells Leon that Carlotta is his mother. He will not receive this news
enthusiastically and would eventually choose to just keep it as a secret.
Perhaps, it is because of him worrying how this will affect the already
complicated relationship he has with Gen, more so now that Edward is tracking
their every move. Speaking of Edward, he catches the two together at Ropa after
Leon admits to Gen that Carlotta is his mother. A rumble ensues between the two
men. The recently unveiled truth regarding Leon’s identity is kept concealed
from Edward. Carlotta comes back to beg Emy to tell her where her son is but
she is reluctant despite her pleas. Mang Epong would not be able to contain it
and blurts out that Leon is her son, in exchange for a promise that she will
protect and love him the way he did for the past years. As Leon and Gen leave Ropa,
they are kidnapped by Henry’s men and their lives are put on the line.
Everything
is happening so fast now as if each episode is being filled with everything
that they could. That cliché soap opera mechanism of kidnapping the lead
characters, something no longer uncommon in this genre, has finally come and
brought along with it more dilemmas that the lead characters should face. As
Carlotta shows one more side of her personality opposite what she has been
displaying lately, we are reminded that she is, after all, just a mother hoping
to be with her children once more. It also shows that she and Henry are
starting to argue, and that this misunderstanding between them would play a
crucial role on how this soap opera would end.
