Forbidden Love

Chapter 12

MEGHAN

Kanina pa ako nagmumura sa isip ko habang nakaupo ako sa banyo. Hindi ko inakalang darating ang panahon na mauupo lang ako sa banyo habang nireregla ako. I can feel my blood dripping like I have a damn miscarriage. Sabi na nga ba at parating na ang period ko.

"Mommy, does your tummy hurt?" Callista asked innocently

I decided to call her Callista after seeing her bawl her eyes out again for calling her Letitia. If you're wondering why she's in the bathroom with me, well, she wouldn't stop crying and clung to me wherever I go.

"It's alright, baby." I assured her and pat her gently

She giggled and hugged me. I just hope she doesn't smell the blood from me.

It was very embarrassing but I had to ask Shaun to buy some pads for me and underwear too if possible. Sana ay bukas pa ang convenience store na nadaanan ko kanina malapit sa bahay nila.

Pinagmasdan kong nagkwekwento si Callista ng ginawa niya sa kindergarten kanina. Naaaliw akong panoorin siya dahil may actions pa siya at paiba-iba ang ekspresyon sa mukha niya. Hindi ko napigilan ang pisilin ang pisngi niya.

"Kamukhang-kamukha mo talaga ang daddy mo." natatawang aniya ko at binigyan siya ng matunog na halik sa pisngi niya

"No! I look like mommy. Hmp!" she crossed her arms like a brat and made me more laugh

If she really acts like a spoiled brat, people will really think that she's my biological daughter. I was a spoiled rotten when I was still child, probably because I'm the youngest in our clan.

"Okay, you look like mommy." suko ko sa kanya, I don't want her to start sulking again

Namumugto pa nga ang mata nito mula sa pag-iyak niya kanina.

"Really?!" she beamed at me

"Yes, yes." natatawang sagot ko at bigla itong nagtatalon sa tuwa na parang binilhan ng bagong laruan

"Mommy, come to school with me tomorrow, okay?" masayang aya niya sa akin

"Mommy will do want Callista wants." walang pagdadalawang-isip na sagot ko sa kanya

Matatanggihan ko ba ang makulit na 'to lalo na kung nakikita ko sa mata 'yung tuwa tuwing nakatingin sa akin. I can't help but sigh. She have me wrapped in her little fingers again.

I heard a knock from the outside. Callista and I looked at the door in unison.

"I've got your stuff. I'll leave it here." I heard Shaun's voice

"Daddy!"

Bago ko pa mapigilan si Callista, binuksan na niya ang pinto. Gulat kaming nakatingin ni Shaun sa isa't-isa. I am practically sitting on the toilet seat without any underwear on. I facepalmed when Callista cluelessly beamed at her father and tried pulling him inside the bathroom.

"C-Callista, let's leave your mommy for awhile." Shaun tried avoiding looking at my direction and I can see his ears turning red

What the hell are you blushing for?!

"Okay!" mabilis na pagpayag ni Callista na ikinagulat ko

Buti na lang at hindi siya nagpumilit pa. Hindi nakatinging inabot sa akin ni Shaun ang isang plastic bag bago lumabas kasama si Callista. I can hear them arguing outside the door for some reason.

Binuksan ko ang plastic bag at nakita ang ilang klase ng pads pati na rin ang underwear. Mabuti na lang talaga at nakabili siya kahit na halatang hindi niya alam kung anong bibilhin niya. He got me panty liners, pads with wings, without wings and he even got a maternity pad. Did he even try reading what he bought, or he just took what looks like a sanitary pad to him? It's funny how this feels, we cohabited for a few months before pero mukhang hindi niya ako tuluyang nakilala sa ilang buwan na iyon.
