Captivating Benjamin (4th Gen #11)

Chapter 19

A/N: Pang-apat✊🏻

"Why haven't you come and see me the first time you came back from Philippines?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Tita Cham habang nagcheck-up sa tiyan niya.

"I-I'm hiding..."

"But still not a good idea. Your pregnancy ain't just a normal pregnancy because you're a surrogate mother." Sabi nito habang nakatingin kay Hellion.

Umiwas ng tingin ang binata.

The OB sighed.

"The baby is fine just please refrain from being stress out. You are vulnerable because it's your first pregnancy and surrogate pa."

"Paano niyo po nalaman?"

Natigilan ito saka muling nagsalita.

"I'm the doctor Belum referred. Sinabi niya rin sa akin ang kondisyon mo at pinadala na sa akin ang mga papeles. I'm waiting for you to come here but you went missing for two months."

"Sorry po."

"It's fine, just don't forget to tale care of yourself. I'll give you vitamins for yourself and the baby. Hellion will took care of you."

"Po? But---"

"Thanks, Mom." Agad na pigil ni Hellion at pinangko naman na siya nito palabas.

"I can walk." Pagmamatigas niya rito.

Tumiim lang ang panga nito.

"Don't want to stress my baby."

Ngumisi siya ng mapakla rito.

"So you acknowledge the child as yours? Hypocrite bastard."

"Don't start the fight, Clea Leonor." Mariing pigil sa kanya ng binata.

Inirapan niya ito hanggang sa pinasok siya nito sa kotse.

"You'll be staying at my house and you're not allowed to go out unless you give birth." He said in finality while driving.

"Wala ka bang condo? Ayaw kong tumira sa bahay mo kung naroon din nakatira ang pinsan ko." Kontra niya.

Napahigpit ang pagkakapit ng binata sa manibela.

"Ivy was sent abroad by her parents."

"How about Chloe? At bakit kayo magkasama kanina?"

"Why do you sound like a nagging girlfriend?"

"I'm just asking, Hellion."

Hellion sighed.

"She will just pay a visit sometimes to hide the child she's carrying from other people."

Ang hero. Pwede ba siyang palakpakan? He's indeed a hero, parang sagip kapamilya program.

Ganito ba talaga ito? Handang tulungan lahat ng nangangailangan?

"And that's what you'll gonna do, Clea. You're not allowed to go out, not allowed to let people know that you're staying in my house."

"What do you mean?" She asked in disbelief.

"Only Chloe and my son should be known. Nobody should know that you carry my son. Especially from Ivy. She's livid when she find out that you run away."

"Oh my god...B-but you're the one who pushed me to go away!"

"Because I didn't know that you're the surrogate mother. You didn't tell me---"

"If I told you that time, would you believe me? Ha? Huwag mong ipasa sa akin lahat ng sisi dahil napupuno na ako sa 'yo, Hellion." Inis na palatak niya at tumingin na lang sa labas ng binatana at sabay himas ng tiyan.
