When Naya meet Caleb a day after meeting with Ella, the former was happy when they catch up things they never gotten the chance to talk to. They talked about their college days, how they sometimes skip classes, how they form study groups when exam is nearing and yet there was really no studying happened. It always ended up in bantering and bickering around each other, playing games and chatting like there's no tomorrow as if they haven't seen each other the prior day.
But when Naya turned serious and tells Caleb that she has something to confess, Caleb fires back with, "confess? To me? Fuck no, because everytime you say it like that it is a big thing."
Naya raised her brows at Cal. "I have a daughter."
Caleb stills. "Okay. And?"
"What do you mean, okay, and?"
Caleb rolled his eyes at her, "You're married so that's not surprising."
"Ohhhh."
"Yeah. And since I haven't saw her around or in the news being the daughter of a business tycoon, are you perhaps just protecting her or hiding her?"
Naya stilled but relaxing all her nerves because she feels tense and when her courage reach its peak she lift her head, close her eyes and says, "Trace is the father."
She open her eyes goes straight staring at the former making Cal almost choke on his own spit and almost falling on his chair with mouth and eyes wide open.
"No shit."
"I'm telling the truth, Cal."
Cal blinks, coughing a little and clearing his throat.
"Fuck. Not prank?"
Naya rolled her eyes, "why would I prank about having a daughter and Trace being the father?"
"What the fuck?"
Naya laughed, "Yeah fuck, dumbass. I'm telling the truth and Ella knows about it too."
So here Naya goes, contemplating how to tell her parents and her siblings about it.
Pero mukhang lahat ata sa pamilya niya ay masyadong observant.
"Anak, we've known Trace since he was a kid at ang anak mo kamukhang kamukha niya when he was five." her mom said, looking at her.
"Bakit di kayo nagtanong?"
"Naya, it's your life and we know that you have a reason for hiding the truth. And we respect that." Dad replied.
Tumatango ako.
"Alam ba niya?" Ate Raven asks bago lumapit at tumabi kay Kuya.
"Hmm. I talked to him last week."
"Ano sabi niya?"
"Galit siya nung una pero nag-usap naman na kami tungkol dun. Which reminds me, when are you guys planning to tell me what happened years ago?"
The room went silent.
Nathan cleared his throat. "Alam mo na?"
"Oo. Trace told me. We had to talk about everything."
"Galit kaba, Ate?" Nathalie asked.
"Hah?"
"I'm sorry, anak. Kung hindi naman sinabi sayo ang totoo." Mom said, sniffing.
What the hell?
"Mom, are you crying? Why are you crying?" I asked frowning.
"Alam namin gaano ka nahirapan at nasaktan, anak. Kasalanan namin kung bakit lumayo ka samin." Dad said.
