Captivating Benjamin (4th Gen #11)

Chapter 38

4 am.

SHE trust him.

But---No, she trust him. She shouldn't think of something else---

Ivy is coming to get Drix Leo. Ilang oras na lang. She keep reading Ivy's text baka sakaling mabago iyon but its making her nervous.

Ivy:

I want you to introduce me to my son tomorrow.

Huwag na huwag kang mag-iisip na ikakasama ng tingin ng anak ko sa akin, alam mo na ang mangyayari.

And if you need to be bad just for I look good in front of my son, do it.

Nawalay siya sa akin ng tatlong taon, it's my turn now.

God, she can't.

Napahilamos siya at napatingin sa mag-ama na mahimbing na natutulog. Walang pag-aalinlangang anak ito ni Hellion. Sigurado na kung sino ang ama pero pinag-aagawan pa ng ina. His mother by blood or his mother by heart?

"Mommy, you're not sleeping po?" Naalimpungatan ang bata.

Ngumiti siya at hinaplos ang pisngi nito.

"Can you come with Mommy to my room?"

Agad namang tumango ang bata.

Tahimik nilang nilisan ang silid ni Hellion. Laking pasalamat niya ay hindi nagising ang binata.

Pumasok na siya sa silid niya at umupo ng kama. She leveled his son who's innocently looking at her.

"Bakit hindi ka makatulog, Mommy ko? Is it because of that monster? Don't worry, sinumbong ko na siya kay Daddy." Sabi nito.

Napangiti siya at ginulo ang buhok ng anak.

"Alam mo ba, baby, mahal na mahal ka ni Mommy." Malambing na sabi niya sa binata.

"I know po. I love you more."

Ngayon pa lang nagsisikip na ang dibdib niya.

"D-drix..if ever M-mommy will leave you...w-will you hate me?"

Why did she even asked that question?! Her son is just three! Clea, are you thinking straight right now?!

"Sasama ako sa 'yo, Mommy. Wherever you go, I'll come with you."

Agad niyang niyakap ang anak at hinalikan ito sa noo.

"How about Daddy?"

"I know Daddy can't live without us, I'm sure he will come to find us."

She chuckled and mess his hair.

Tinitigan niya ang bata. She memorized every little details on his face.

"If I'm a painter, I could paint your perfect face everyday, Drix. You and Daddy."

Napangiti ang bata sa sinabi niya.

"You are a painter, Mommy. You paint my heart with goodness and you also paint mine and Daddy's lives."

She can't help to shed a tear and hugged Drix Leo.

God, paano niya maiiwan ang isang 'to? Handa ba niyang ibigay ito kay Ivy?

"Mommy, don't cry please." Pag-aalo ng bata.

She sobbed and cupped his son's face.

"I'm sorry, Drix Leo...I-I'm sorry..."

"Why, Mommy?"
