Her Knight

chapter 32

Happy reading!😘

Eliza's POV

"Babe" tawag ko kay ryu.

"Hmm?" Sagot lang nito habang busy sa nilalaro nitong mobile legends sa phone niya.

We were sitting on his gaming chair right now while i am straddling his lap as he plays mobile legends on his computer. I was just scrolling on my cellphone when i read something online that had me thinking on telling him everything about myself.

Yung nakaraan ko.

"I am ready" kabado kong sabi.

"Ready sa ano?" Tanong niya habang busy parin sa paglalaro ng ml.

"Im ready to tell you about my past." Ani ko at bahagya itong natigilan at tiningnan ako sa mata.

"Baby, you dont have to tell me. I dont want to force you kasi alam kong mahirap mag open up sa isang tao. Dont force yourself if you can't" ani niya at tumigil na sa paglalaro.

"No. Im ready" desidido kong sabi.

Because if not now, I'll never gonna have other chance to tell him. I dont want to keep secrets from him anymore.

"Okay, pero kapag hindi mo kaya, you can tell me anytime" anito saka hinalikan ako sa nuo at tumango naman ako.

He stood up then placed me gently on the bed before he sat beside me and give me his all attention.

I sighed heavily before i started telling him everything starting from how everything slowly went down.

Flashback:

"Congratulations pa!" Maligaya kong bati sa tatay ko habang nakangiting tinitingnan nito ang bagong bukas niyang business na siya mismo ang nagsimula at nagpalago.

Ibinaling nito sa akin ang kanyang paningin at saka malaking ngiti na niyakap ako.
"Salamat anak" ani nito na mas nakapagpalaki ng ngiti sa labi ko.

I am so lucky to have a father like him.

Im so lucky to have this kind of family. I have nothing to ask for. Im already contented of what i have.

"Congratulations hon! Im so proud of you!" Bati naman ng nanay ko habang may hawak-hawak na bouquet sa isang kamay atsaka masaya at nakangiting niyakap din ang tatay ko.

"Thank you, hon. Finally, natupad na din ang pangarap kong makapagtayo ng sariling negosyo." Ani nito at humiwalay ng yakap sa ina ko pagkatapos ay tiningnan niya ito sa mga mata na puno ng pagmamahal. "I wouldn't be here if not because of you and our child. Salamat kasi sinuportahan mo ako. It wasnt an easy ride for us but you stayed by my side the whole time, and im so thankful for that. Mahal na mahal kita, hon."

"Mahal na mahal din kita" sagot ng ina ko atsaka hinalikan ang ama ko.

They broke their kiss and entertained the guest and thanking them for coming.

Time flies so fast and my father's business is going so well that clients would come to our house. He barely had time for us but he would never forget special occasions as my birthday. He would clear all his appointments to celebrate my birthday. It was the best day ever.

But not for so long.

My dad's most trusted person stole a huge sum of money from him. It's solved, the guy payed us the exact amount he took but then another problem came, and another and another. Until we were forced into bankruptcy.

Ang noon na maraming clients na dumadayo sa bahay ay naging tatay ko na. Pumupunta sa bahay ng mga tao para ipakita ang mga binibenta niya.

It was tough. But dad never failed to smile at me when he gets home as if he wasn't having a hard time.
