The Greek's Affection ✔ COMPLETED

Affection 50

MALALIM na ang gabi. Para sa ikaliligtas nila ay sa Villa ng mag-asawa na sina Jeremy at Raiven napili nilang tumuloy panandalian hanggang sa tuluyan ng gumaling si Elaine.

Ang tanging naiwan lang ay silang dalawa ni Zary, si Zacharias, si Luke na nagkamalay na, si Kite, ang Tatay ni Reith at ang ngayo'y nagpapagaling pa na si Elaine. Ang pangalawang asawa ng ama ni Zary. Pero... iyon nga ba talaga?

Reith tried to calm Zary down. Seeing him as a mess like this saddened her. From what his father's said earlier, ay hindi  nito alam kung ano pa ba ang totoo sa hindi.

"Zary..." She hugged her. Para mabawasan naman ang mga inaalala nito.

"I don't know what to do... " May sakit na sa tono nito. "Hindi ko na alam kung ano ang paniniwalaan ko."

"Shh... magiging maayos lang ang lahat." She let go off him. Hinarap niya ito at ikinulong ng mga palad niya ang magkabilang pisngi nito. "All you have to do is to listen to your father. Makinig ka lang."

But Zary was feeling guilty. Kung sakali man na totoo ang mga sinabi ng ama niya. Zary felt like a bad son. For doing that behavior to his mom.

Zary was shivering. Nervous on what he will see once he enter on that room. He spent four days to ready himself. Na maging malakas kapag makita niya ang ina. Pero nasa tapat pa lang siya ng pintuan ay umakyat na hanggang sa ulo ang kaba niya.

Reith immediately intertwined their hands together. Doon siya kumuha ng lakas. Zary somehow calm down a bit. Napangiti siya sa kanyang fiancee.

"You can do it." Pagpapalakas ng loob nito sa kanya.

Huminga siya ng mahaba. He faced Reith and before he enter the room, he kissed her.

Napailing na lang ang dalaga sa ginawa niya pero nakangiti pa rin ito. Inudyok na pumasok na siya sa loob kung nasaan ang ina.

A modernized room with a paired color of white and light brown welcomed his sight. In the middle, there's his mom resting on a comfortable bed. Nang marinig nito ang pagpasok niya ay nilingon siya nito saka malungkot na ngumiti.

Natigilan sa kinatatayuan si Zary. He can't look straight to his mom. Nanatiling nakakuyom ang dalawang kamao. At tinitimbang kung lalapit ba sa ina o hindi.

But Elaine---Alena calls him. "Zary... My son."

Hearing her calling that way made his tears rolled down. Hanggang sa hindi niya napigilan humikbi.

Zary went to his mom and apologize for what he did. "I'm sorry, mom... I-I'm so sorry... I didn't know."

Alena was crying too. Hearing her son saying sorry, hurting her. Not that she didn't want it. It's because of the consequences of what she did and why all of this has happened.

"It was my fault. It was my plan." She consoles him. "I should be the one who saying that, son."

Zary with tears in his eyes, look up at her, questioning. "What do you mean, Mom?" He was confused. "If you're really my Mom then... Why pretend to be in another identity? What happened really, Mom?"

"Ito na siguro ang tamang panahon." Ani Alena.

Maaliwalas ang umaga. Marahang tawanan ang maririnig sa isang malawak na hardin na napupuno ng iba't- ibang bulaklak.

"Zach, nakikiliti ako!" natatawang sabi ng magandang babae. Lampas quarenta na ang edad niya pero hindi pa rin kumukupas ang ganda.

Yakap-yakap naman siya mula sa likod ng kanyang pinakamamahal na asawa, si Zacharias.
