Unopened Rose (DRAFT! DRAFT!)

Chapter 82

Yanna smiled as she calmed her heart from beating so fast sitting on the side on the bed while Matthew is rubbing his hands on his thighs and clearing his throat multiple times out of awkwardness.

The celebration has ended leaving most of the people collapsed on the ground because of drunkness.

It was a very blissful night.

Matthew cleared his throat again and awkwardly smiled to Yanna as he turned to her.

"Don't you think... It's quite funny to act like this when we already had a child?"

Namula si Yanna sa sinabi ni Matthew saka naiilang na ngumiti.

"W-what do you mean acting like this? You are just talking nonsense. If you don't want to sleep then you can go to your room." Sabi ni Yanna saka nagpatiunang humiga sa bahaging loob ng kama.

Matthew chuckled as he moved his face closer to her using his left elbow.

"This is my room." Matthew said looking at the bed.

Mas lalong namula si Yanna at nadagdagan ang hiya.

"Oh..." Sabi na lang niya saka tinakpan ang mukha ng kumot hanggang sa kanyang ilong at mga mata lamang ang pinapakita.

"I know you are shy."

"I am not." Mabilis na sagot ni Yanna kasabay ng pagbaba niya sa kumot sa bandang tiyan.

"Yeah, you aren't. Your cheeks are just burning. Probably from the cold in this hot room?"

"H-hot... Bakit ang init tuloy lalo?" Bulong niya.

Itinaas ni Matthew ang mga paa sa kama habang nananatili pa ring nakaupo sa kama.

He looked at Yanna with full of love and happiness.

"Tell me everything about Matteo. What he likes to eat. What he likes to do and what he likes to drink. Everything."

Ngumiti si Yanna kasabay ng unti-unting pagkawala ng kanyang hiya.

"Matteo is just like you. He likes to do fishing and swing his little swords. He always told me that he will protect me for you. When he turned two and a half he already knew that I am his real mother and asked everything about you. I let him met Matteo, Jack and Dildo. Showed him everything and told him what I did in the old mansion. He admires you from afar and wants to follow your footsteps."

Hindi mapigilang ngumiti ni Matthew.

"No wonder he knew me. If I knew it before I should've given him more attention and time."

Hinawakan ni Yanna ang kamay ni Matthew.

"You don't to feel this way. Matteo loves you and adore you as his father. Seeing you alive and healthy already makes him happy."

"I was so stupid those times I tried to end my life without knowing that it would also affect both of you." Malungkot ang boses at puno ng pagsisisi na sabi ni Matthew.

Yanna sat on the bed and touch Matthew's face with her hands and let him looked at her in the eyes.

"Matthew... Don't say that. Yes it affects us but for us it was a great excuse to see and hold you."

Pinagtagpo ni Yanna ang kanilang mga noo at ngumiti.

"Don't think that you lack something. Because for us... For me... The five years was all worth it."

"Thank you for raising him as a fine young man."

Bahagyang lumayo si Yanna kay Matthew at huminga ng malalim.
