Hiding The Actor's Twins (Completed)

Kabanata 27

No matter how I want to approach him, I just can't. I don't want to mess things up again. Because no matter how much I madly love him, if he's not for me or if he already belongs to someone else, I have no right to hang on to him. Like in the ocean of life, when we try to stay afloat, we will become the anchor that will drown each other. So I have no choice but to let him go.

Hindi ko siya nilapitan, just like earlier. Hinayaan ko siyang tuluyan na mawala sa paningin ko, bago pumasok sa bahay. I just can't understand, I am confused, and curious. Bakit sa dami ng lugar na pupuntahan niya, bakit sa dami ng lugar na makikita ko siya, bakit dito pa?

Dumating si Alex kinagabihan, I prepared us a dinner kasi mukhang pagod siya.

"Hey, I should be the one to cook for you. I promised dad, and I promised you, right?"

"You're tired, Alex. I can cook, so just sit back and relax," he scratched his head and nodded in defeat. Naupo siya sa harap ng lamesa at pinanood ako hanggang sa matapos.

"How are you here while I am away?"

"Well, I was just fine. You don't have to worry about me. I am your older sister, remember?" He groaned before he pulled me to sit down.

"Yes you are, but I am still the guy and you have to behave. I just don't want something to happen to you and to my niece or nephew. Wait, don't you want to know the gender of your baby?"

"I want it to be a surprise. I will just wait until I give birth," mas gusto ko 'yong exciting at ma s-surprise ako. Babae man o lalaki ang anak ko, pareho lang 'yon. Mamahalin ko pa rin siya.

Hindi na kami masyadong nakapag-usap ni Alex dahil pinagpahinga ko na siya ulit. Mukha kasi talagang pagod siya, siguro'y marami siyang inasikaso. Hindi rin naman ako nagtagal at natulog na rin dahil bawal sa akin ang magpuyat. Kinabukasan ay maaga nanamang umalis si Alex dahil may meeting siyang dadaluhan. Ang dami nanaman ng bilin niya sa akin bago siya umalis. Papasikat nanaman ang araw. Papasok na sana ako matapos ihatid ng tingin si Alex paalis, ngunit may kung ano sa loob ko na gustong tingnan ulit ang lugar kung saan ko siya nakita kahapon.

Bahagya akong lumapit sa gate at lumabas doon bago sinipat ang direksyon. Muli akong nagulat, when I saw the man's silhouette, I knew immediately that Standing patiently, waiting for something again, while watching the sunrise.

Nakapamulsa nanaman ito, habang ako'y nanatili lamang siyang pinapanood, ng lihim.

"Baby, I am watching your dad right now," It was just a whisper. Na tila tanging hangin lamang ang nakarinig. Ilang minuto ko pa siyang pinanood hanggang sa may humarang na sa harapan ko, dahilan para hindi ko na siya makita.

"Good morning, neighbor!" Zayn greeted me with his fresh smile, and I smiled back at him too. Dumako ang tingin ko sa dala niya at tila nangningning ang mga mata ko roon.

"Good morning, Zayn."

"As I promised, here's the breakfast I made for you." Muli akong ngumiti at bahagyang sumilip para tingnan muli si Mist sa pwesto nito kanina, ngunit wala na s'ya. Mukhang nakaalis na.
