The Billionaire's Ex-Lover (Completed)

Chapter 14: Destiny

The skies are clear but there are still clouds floating in the sky, when I looked down, it became more clearer for me that we were leaving Philippines for a week.

"Are you okay? Okay, okay, okay..." Kuya Felipe said in a singsong as he sat beside me. He is wearing his formal suit, like me and our other siblings.

Kung makarating na kami sa China ay diretso kaming pupunta sa isang club kung saan magaganap ang party ng mga drug lords.

Our father is in the same plane as ours but he's in his private room. Of course, never naman siyang nakihalubilo sa aming ampon niya. Nakikipag-usap lamang siya kapag tungkol sa droga o anuman.

"Okay lang ako, ikaw?" Tanong ko sakanya. Ngumuso siya at parang alam ko na naman kung bakit. Napatingin ako kay Alfrea na seryosong inaayos ang sariling baril. "Ikaw pala itong hindi okay pero ako pa iyong tinatanong mo."

Sinulyapan niya si Alfrea bago ibinalik ang tingin sa harapan. "Ganoon nga, pero kanina pa kita napapansin, mukhang nakikifloat iyong utak mo sa clouds. May gusto ka bang sabihin sa amin?"

Umiling ako saka tumingin sa bintana. "Wala lang, may iniisip lang."

Napabuntong-hininga siya. "After everything... We can leave. Just stay cool."

I nodded.

"Pogi!" I turned around to see Angel. I extended my hands while she's running towards me, and now I am carrying her in my arms. Angel is such a beautiful, sweet, and lovely kid. I called her Angel since the first day I saw her.

"Your mom left you again, that's why you're here?"

She hummed. "Yeah, but I don't know where she is now. But I am sure that my mom is safe cause she's with my three tito and two titas."

I combed her hair. "You really love your mom so much, Angel."

"Yeah." Inalis niya ang ulo niya sa pagkakasandal sa balikat ko ngunit ang dalawang maliliit niyang kamay ay nakayakap sa batok ko. "Because she is still my mom."

"How is she doing these past few years?"

Inayos niya ang buhok niya saka tumingin sa akin nang nakakunot ang noo. "Why do you keep on asking about my mom, handsome? You have a crush on her?"

I grinned at her. "You think so?"

Angelique Bethany shrugged. "I don't know..."

I laughed at her. "Anyway, where's your..."

"Jusko! Bethany, sinabi ko sa iyong huwag mo muna akong iwan, ang tigas talaga nang ulo mo!"

Speaking of her mama-la, kinuha niya sa akin mula sa Bethany.

"Pasensya na, gusto ng bata na makita ka ulit." Ngumiti siya sa akin.

"It's okay. I am not busy today so I can play with her like she wants to."

"Pero diba doctor ka? Paano kung hanapin ka ng mga pasyente mo?"

"That's alright, I'll visit my patients when the sunset goes down."

Napasulyap siya sa likuran ko kung nasaan ang rest house ko, pumasok kasi doon si Angel kaya nangunot na naman ang noo ni mama-la niya. Akma niyang sasawayin ang alaga niya nang sinabihan ko nalang na hayaan niya itong maglaro doon sa grass. Mayroon kasi doong mga laruang pambata like barbies.

I bought that for my niece because her birthday is near but I guessed I have to buy a new one for her. Kahapon kasi ay pumunta ulit si Angel sa rest house ko nang hindi naman nagpapaalam kay mama-la niya. Pero ang sabi niya sa akin ay nag-iwan siya nang note dahil ayaw niya raw gisingin ang natutulog. So I brought out the toys and let her play that. She looks happy tho.
