The Mistake We Both Wanted [COMPLETED]

Chapter 25

Yino's Point Of View.

"How long will we keep lying to them?" Umupo si Vest sa balcony ng headquarters, "It's been one and a half month, Yino. Kaya mo pa ba? Kasi ako pagod na pagod na'kong magsinungaling sa kanila. Alam mo kung ilang beses kong pinaniwala si Mavel na hindi mo siya mahal? Because that's what you want, right? 'Yon 'yung sabi mong gawin ko, and I did. Alam mo rin ba kung gaano ko ka-gustong hindi nalang ituloy 'yung plano nang dahil sa nagawa mo kay Mavel? I badly want to stay at their sides and continue to give them the peaceful life they deserve," Tumingin siya sa malayong parte, "Pero naisip ko ring kung tatakbuhan ko lahat nang 'to, we will continue to have an uneasy life. We need to end this quick, kahit para sa mag-ina mo nalang."

Napaiwas ako ng tingin, this will take not just a month or a year. I need to get myself ready. I need to convince myself that possibilities are high and when it's the time to face her again, baka hindi na ako.

I love her so much that I am more than willing to give her precious heart to a man that can give her and my daughter a peaceful and warless life.

I didn't intend to push her away, I want to fight with them by my side. Dahil alam kong iyon ang gusto niya. But I also hurt her unintentionally, I won't have the heart to do it again. Kailangan kong lumaban mag-isa, para sa kinabukasan ng bubuuin niyang pamilya.

Pamilyang hindi ako ang haligi.

"I can still keep my feelings. I can still lie, kaya kong gawin lahat para sa kaligtasan nilang dalawa. Keeping them thousands of miles away from me would be the safest option." Ibinalik ko ang paningin sa kan'ya.

I heard him sigh, "Alam mong any minute, any day, and even now, alam mong maaaring may pumatay sa atin. I have my girlfriend waiting for me, you have your daughter and her Mom also waiting for you, paano kung bukas makalawa may sniper na ipinadala ang mga kalaban ni Lolo and suddenly shoot us? We will both die without them even knowing. We will die without seeing their beautiful faces. Makakaya mo ba, Yino?"

I took a deep breath, "Vest, do we really need to argue whether to continue this plan or not? Yes, it is a 50/50% chance, it's either mamamatay tayo, o mananalo tayo. If we die, then wala tayong magagawa. But if we manage to bring up this plan successfully, you will have a family with Karanna. I will have my son with Mavel and Maveline will forever have her Dad. Now thinking about this 50%, hindi mo ba pipiliing lumaban? If we don't fight, they might also come for them. That's why we need to plan this carefully, dahil kapag nawala tayo, paano na sila?"

He chuckled, "Gustong-gusto kong sisihin si Lolo sa mga nangyayari. Pero hindi ko magawa dahil tinulungan niya rin naman kaming i-angat ulit ang kumpanya. That time when he approached me, I was sure that he would help us but with an exchange. Hindi nga ako nagkamali, he helped us, but also made our lives worse," He smiled with pain, "I would rather be homeless than knowing that my family's lives are in danger."

Umupo ako sa katabi niyang upuan, "That is why we're here, to end all of this. Kaunting tiis nalang, Vest. We will go even through the thinnest holes to finally live with nothing but ease and joy."
