Untitled Love

CHAPTER 36

ACE's POV

It was just a regular day of work again.

Nasa restaurant ngayon ang asawa ko dahil naiinip na daw siya sa bahay, pinayagan ko naman siya dahil ayaw ko naman na ikulong siya sa bahay.

I was in the middle of reading a document when someone knocked "Come in"

My secretary entered "Sir, Mr Crawford wants to talk to you and he wants you to know that he brought guests"

My brows furrowed a little "Let them come in"

'Guests? Might be investors'

Naunang pumasok si Dad, I was about to greet him when my Mom entered with their guests. I was shocked upon seeing their face.

Hindi ako nakagalaw at nanatili lang ang tingin ko sa kanila ng ilang segundo bago ko nakumpirma na sila nga yun.

'Adi's parents'

I move my gaze to Dad "What is this?" I asked.

"Can we talk?" he asked back.

Tumayo ako mula sa swivel chair ko at nagtungo papunta sa kanila, I offered them to sit down before I sat down on the sofa facing them.

"Kamusta ka na iho?" nakangiting tanong sa akin ni Mrs Bautista, Adi's mom.

I tried to smile back but I failed "Ayos lang po" magalang na sagot ko.

Dad cleared his throat before speaking "They want to talk to Adi, we were about to go to your house but when I called Manang Lourdes said that Adi was not home"

"She went to the restaurant"

"I thought she already stop working"

"She did. She's bored staying at home and her ob-gyn said it's safe"

Tinignan ko ang reaksiyon ng mga magulang niya at mukang hindi naman sila nagulat, I guess they know that my wife's pregnant.

I look at them "I don't want to be rude but why do you want to talk to her?"

"To apologise" Mrs Baustisa answered.

Hindi na ako sumagot. Hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko at ayaw ko na may masakit na salita na lumabas sa bibig ko dahil may respeto ako sa kanila, they're my wife's parents after all.

Gusto ko silang tanongin kung bakit ngayon lang nila naisipan na kausapin ang asawa ko. Matapos ang tatlong taon na hindi sila nagpakita sa asawa ko ay nandito sila ngayon sa harapan ko.

They were the reason why Adi cry, natatakot ako sa magiging reaksiyon niya pag nakita niya nag mga magulang niya.

I want her to see her parents but I don't know if she's gonna feel once she sees them.

I don't want to see her sad, she's really happy now because our relationship is okay and we're expecting a baby.

"I know what you're thinking iho" Mr Bautista said "Alam namin na malaki ang posibilidad na kamuhian kami ng anak namin dahil sa nangyari noon pero ayos lang yun sa amin kesa naman hanggang sa malayo lang namin siya nakikita"

"Do you want to talk to her now?" tanong ko at kaagad naman silang tumango.

I stood up and walk to my desk to grab my phone then I dialled Adi's number, I went back to my seat and put the call on speaker.

Ayaw kong magtago ng sikreto mula sa asawa ko kaya mas okay na din na papuntahin ko siya dito para makausap niya ang mga magulang niya.

"Hello?" bungad sa akin ng inaantok na boses ng asawa ko.
