Darkness Within Me

Chapter 27

US, KATIE & THE HEADMISTRESS

KING LIVIUS POV

Im kinda embarrassed right now.

she's looking at me.

"Little Asla, say something" Fergie

"Auntie, i have tons of questions but i dare not to ask him"

yes, she's right here infront of me.

our daughter.

"Then what do you want to ask?" Kabahan kong sabi sakanya

Nakatingin lang siya sakin na nakataas ang isang kilay.

"Why did you marry her? she's not fit to be my stepmom"

eh!?

"If you cant answer then dont come here anymore"

"I- i was forced!" mabilis kong sabi

"You're forced? dont make me laugh. Who could force a king to marry someone he didnt love? or maybe you're really into her?"

i couldnt argue anymore, i couldnt answer.

"You're still young, Velisca."

"Asla!?"

"Mom?"

"Ate!?"

sabay sabay naming tawag kay asla.

Bagong dating nila Asla kasama si Rita. Lumapit siya sa anak namin.

"You should respect your father, Velisca."

"If he wants my respect, he should respect for you first. he let you leave h--" she complained but asla cut her words.

"He did not. He did not let us leave, Velisca. Im the one who's stubborn and leave him so dont blame him."

she's still elegant and kind.

beautiful as ever.

"Fergie, tell lady freda to prepare a room for his majesty. Its already noon, he should stay in here for a day. Im sure his tired, let him rest."

She did not blame me then Why didnt she explained everything to me.

I didnt even know why she left me with our child before.

"Can i talk to you-alone?"

"Fergie" Asla

"Little asla, halika lumabas muna tayo." Fergie habang hinihila ang anak namin ni asla

"No, i'll stay here!"

"oh come on! magpapaenroll pa kayo sa academy diba?! Inaantay kana nila sa labas"

This is awkward.

kami nalang dalawa ang naiwan pero ito yong gusto ko diba? ang makausap siya?

"Maiintindihan kita kung magagalit ka sakin, dont hold yourself back" kalmado niyang sabi sakin habang uminom ng tea.

I want to get angry but i couldnt.

hindi ko magawang magalit sakanya instead im longing for her and our daughter.

she's pregnant with our daughter when she leave me.

"Knowing you i know you have your reasons why you leave me"

"Pero pano kung wala"

then i will get angry at you for leaving me.

"Pero may rason ka kung bakit mo ako iniwan diba?"
