Temptation Series #1: Nicholai Romero [COMPLETED]

37

I already stayed for more than a months here in LA. Many things suddenly changed for a bit. My mom and dad are still busy for handling some sort of businesses, but my mom plan to take a rest afterwards. She decided to take good care of the both of us--- with my baby girl. Yes! It's a girl! Finally.

My doctor here in LA, told us that my baby is a girl. Sobrang saya namin ng malaman namin na babae ang magiging anak ko. Hanggang ngayon nag iisip pa din ako sa magiging pangalan ng magiging prinsesa ko.

Sobrang nakakamiss lahat dun sa Pilipinas. But I'm still thankful that my bestfriends are still contacting me, they always make phone call, video call and texting me here. It makes me feel comfortable at the same time happy.

Kasalukuyan akong mag isa dito sa bahay namin. Mom and dad are still working for the sake of us. Medyo lumalaki na din ang tyan ko. Medyo madaming changes at nahihirapan ako ng kunti, but I'm still pursuing everything for the sake of my child.

I'm bored. I've decided to go out, to visit some of my neighborhoods. Ng patungo nako sa gate ng bahay upang makalabas at saktong pagbukas ko ay nakita ko si Peter na nakatayo at diretso ang tingin sakin.

Yes. It's him, Peter. May dala dala siyang bag, sa balikat at maging sa kamay nito. Pinikit ko ang mga mata ko baka sakaling panaginip o guni guni ko lang. Nakatatlong beses ako sa pagpikit, pero andyan pa rin siya sa harapan ko. Seryoso siyang nakatingin sakin na hindi pa nagsasalita. Mas lalo akong naguluhan at nagtaka kung bakit nandito siya. Seryoso ba toh? Damn it.

"P-Peter?" Kabadong usal ko.

Tahimik pa rin siyang nakatitig sakin. Kinabahan lang ako sa 'di malamang rason. Bat nandito siya? Pano niya nalaman na nandito ako? Friends, maybe?  Maya maya ay dumapo ang tingin niya sa tyan ko. Alam niya na ba ang tungkol sakin? Bat kase nandito siya?

My body trembled as he gaved me a tight hug over everything. Tulala pa rin ako habang yakap yakap niya dahil hindi ko alam ang posibleng rason kung bat siya naririto.  Sa kabila ng yakap niya, ramdam ko ang malalim niyang paghinga.

"Why? How could it happened, Ara? How could you let Nicholai touch you?" seryosong tanong niya habang nasa ganong posisyon kaming dalawa.

"P-Peter, I'm sorry. I' m really sorry." paghihingi ko ng paumanhin sa kanya.

Inilayo niya ko sa kanya at tinignan niya ko ng maigi. The way he look at me, it seems that he's on pain. It seems that he knew everything. Maybe, Yuri told him?

"I'm really confused. Why don't you tell me about this? Why do you leave us? You never told me that you're leaving. It hurts a lot, Ara." mahinang usal niya.

"I'm scared, Peter. Sobrang takot ako na malaman mo lahat. You're there for me in almost 2 years, at sinayang ko lang lahat ng yun dahil sa isang aksidente." sagot ko.

"Nagulat ako ng sabihin lahat ni Yuri ang katotohanan. Like that time, naghihintay ako sa harapan ng apartment mo, then suddenly malalaman ko na wala kana pala dun. I begged to Yuri, para lang sabihin niya lahat sakin. When I knew everything, nagulat ako. Hindi ko inaasahan na aabot kayo sa point na ganyan. Wala naman kayong closure nyang Nicholai na yan diba? Bat umabot sa point na toh? You're having a child with him. In Pete's sake, he's the father." pahayag niya pero ramdam ko sa bawat usal niya ang lungkot.

"I'm sorry, Peter. That time, I'm drunk then Nicholai took advantage over me. He touch me and suddenly end up like this." I look away from him because I  suddenly felt awkward. "He confessed at me before. He said, he likes me since the day we met. I tried him to stop kase alam kong nandyan ka. May nanliligaw sakin kaya ayoko ng may iba pang nagpaparamdam sakin. I've told him to stay away from me over how many times, but Nicholai is persistent. Hindi niya ko nilubayan ng ilang beses, palagi kaming nagkikita sa 'di malamang dahilan at palagi na lang attachment sa pagitan namin. Peter, sorry talaga. Kung galit ka? Okay lang, naiintindihan kita. I can't blame you. I made this mistakes, so I deserve everything." I explained.
