Innocence [COMPLETED]

Chapter 23

•••

Napa iwas ako ng tingin ng makita ko ang sugatan na mukha ng dalawa.

“What did the doctor said?” tanong ni Papa.

Tumingin ako kay Papa pero napa iwas din dahil sa nag-aalalang tingin ni Lucifer saakin na katabi lang ni Papa.

My heart race.

“The doctor said. I'm just... Stressed.” nakagat ko ang dila ko dahil sa pagsi-sinungaling.

Tumango si Papa tsaka humarap sa dalawa.

“Cloud, hijo. Umuwi ka muna.” sabi ni Papa kay Cloud.

Halata sa mukha ni Cloud na tutol sya sa sinabi ni Papa, pero wala din nagawa.

Tumingin saakin si Cloud, tas ngumiti.

“Bye, Daisy.” sabi nya sabay lakad papuntang pinto para umuwi.

Naiwan na lang kaming tatlo.

Silence...

Pag lipas ng ilang minuto...

Napa tingin ako kay papa ng bumuga ito ng malalim na hininga sabay lapit sa may pinto.

Papa?

Naguguluhan akong tumingin kay Papa pero hindi ito nakatingin saakin kundi kay Lucifer.

“I'll give you 5 minutes to talk to Daisy, and after that give her a space.” seryosong sabi ni Papa.

Nakita kong umigting ang panga ni Lucifer dahil sa huling sinabi ni Papa.

“How long?” Lucifer.

“A month.” sabi ni Papa bago lumabas.

Dumilim ang mukha ni Lucifer dahil doon.

Sht!

Napa lunok ako ng maalalang kami na lang dalawa.

Napa iwas ako ng tingin ng saakin na sya nakatingin.

“Flower.” tawag nya pagka tapos ng isang minutong katahimikan, sabay lapit sa kama na kinahihigaan ko.

“I love you... So... So much.” ayon ang panimula nya. Parang may bumara sa lalamunan ko dahil sa sinabi nya.

“I rather kill myself than to hurt you.” mahina nyang sabi habang hinahawakan ang kamay ko.

“Kathrina and her mother planned all this to get even to me. After I didn't invest in their company.” he said while softly brushing his thumb on my cheeks.

“Please, Flower. Believe me.” sabi nya habang naka luhod sa tabi ng kama and staring straight into my eyes.

Did he just said the word believe?!

I also look at him straight into his eyes but with anger burning in my eyes.

“How Lucifer! How can I believe you when all you did is to hurt me and lied to me!” I shouted at him.

I saw his face turn pale and look at me with confusion in his eyes.

“If I didn't learned you have sons when will you tell me?! About Katherine?!” I shouted.

Unti unting tumila ang galit ko at napalitan naman iyon ng sakit.

“When will you tell me we're married, that you fooled me to sign that paper.” I whisper shocking him.

Nakita kong bumukas ang bibig nya pero sinara din. Can't find the right word to explain.

Again... Silence...
