The CEO's Obsession

Chapter 73:trust

"I told you Abuelito,I did that to make her believe that I am buying her words again."

"have you not learned your lesson yet?She is doing what she done with you long time ago!!!And what if Kiara finds out?I won't blame her if she won't listen to you this time."

"I have to keep this from her for atleast...now.Her condition is not that stable plus I know that i'll  get her mad."

"and you think by doing this,she won't get mad?Huh Gino?Alright listen to me,we both know that Kiara is a rational woman and by any means she will understand you but don't you think that would be too much for her now?Given what she witnessed yesterday when all she thought was seeing you?Don't go that far, mi hijo."

Pigil ang hininga akong nanatili sa likod ng pinto ng kwartong inukupa ko.What only keep them from not knowing  my presence is this atleast two-inch door in front of me.When I woke up,I already heard noises of people arguing of something that I don;t know what is it all about until I recognized their voices.

For once,I wished that I was not that curious enough to listen to them..atleast I would have chose to set back and pretend that I did not hear anything.. I didn't know that it would feel like I was stabbed.Tuloy napaisip rin ako sa sinabi ni abuelito..

Is it really too much?Makakaya ko bang umunawa?What kind of words does she spew out enough for Gino to keep things from me?Is she being honest this time? or she only do it to trick Gino again?

"This is also not what I wanted,Abuelito.But I think this is the most close tactic to keep my dad in cell.I just have to find out whether Tiara is saying the truth or this is another scheme they want to pull off.You see abuelito,I am trying all the means to stop all of this bullshits that I've been riding all my life.So please,trust me for this."

"Are you really sure about this?even if it means keeping a secret from the woman you love?"

I held my breath as if preparing myself to hear what Gino's answer might be but the lump that formed in my throat and the burning feeling in the corner in my eyes tells me that I am too scared to hear it..Goshh..

"She will understand me right,Abuelito?"

Will I?

Hindi ko mapigilan ang pagtulo ng luha ko...Why is it so hard to understand him this time?when I'd been doing it this whole time?Why can't I do it now?When all I have to do is keep silent and trust him?

Tinakpan ko ang bibig ko para iwasan ang pagkawala ng aking hikbi..I don't want them to know my presence and at the same time my knowledge about the current matter they're talking about...I have to keep it this way or I might ruin everything that Gino is planning to do..In the end,all of what he is thinking of is making everything back to how it should be but something in me is protesting and I am afraid to figure it out...

"I guess I have nothing to do anymore.We should wrap this up before she wake up."

Dali-dali kong pinunasan ang luha ko at bumalik sa kamang pinagpahingahan ko...I sat at the edge of the bed and touched the ring he gave me last night...

There again I felt the happiness that tucked me to bed last night...I didn't expect that I would make me so happy even without all the extravagant decorations for such proposal..Having it simple yet admiring is enough for me to feel like I had the most expensive proposal ever...How did he end up proposing to me is something not usual though..All he did was to make me drunk with his kisses and viola!!!

I am becoming Mrs. Roque in an instant!!

I came back in my senses when I heard the door creaked..He smiled at me the first time our eyes met...But I am too afraid to not be able to respond back to him so I forced a smile...
