Chasing After The Storm | D'heir Series 2

Chapter 8

"Mommy, where are we going po?" My daughter asked me.

Pupunta tayo sa Rex mall at gagastusin ang pera ng bwesit mong tatay anak.

"Mall tayo anak. Sama natin si Chicha mo." I said while smiling. Her eyes lit up and she started to jump up and down because of joy.

I also called Isabella to come with us and sinabi ko pang libre ko. Even though it's actually Chase's money. But hell! Naiinis ako sakanya! 

My daughter and I arrived at a coffee shop. I ordered two coffee's for me and Val and some pastries. For my daughter, I just ordered a frape drinks since she's too young to drink coffee and its not good for kids. 

She's watching some disney movies on her Ipad again while eating chocolates. 

"Chicha!" My daughter waved her hands at Valentina when she arrived. 

"Hello!" She greets my daughter before sitting down in front of us. 

"Ang tagal mo naman!" Reklamo ko dito before looking at her face. 

Napakunot ang noo ko at naging seryoso ako when I saw some bruises on her face specially on her jaw part. 

"Anong nangyari sa muka mo?" I asked and hold her jaw. Napatili ito ng hawakan ko ang panga nito. 

"Ah! Isa, masakit!" She said kaya binitawan ko ito.

"Anong nangyari diyan? Nakipag away ka ba? Sinong umaway sayo ha! Abangan ko yan sa kanto! Sabihin mo sakin! Ako na bahala makipag sapakan!" I said. She just laughed at me. 

Anong nakakatawa doon!? SERYOSO AKO! BAKA GUSTO NILANG AGAWAN KO SILA NG HININGA!

"Don't worry ok! I'm fine! Nadapa lang ako." She answered that made my eyes roll at him. 

"Napadapa!? Tapos ganyan! Ulol! Anong nangyari diyan!?" I asked again. Napatingin ako sa anak ko dahil nakalimutan kong i-filterize ang mouth ko but mukang di niya narinig iyon since she's too busy with her movies. 

"Kanino to?" She asked while looking at the coffee. 

"Sa anak ko! Boba! Malamang sayo!" I said and she just laughed at me again. 

"How's your life with Chase?" She asked me while sipping her coffee. Agad akong umingos sa sinabi niyang iyon. 

Putang inang pangalan na yan. Ang pangit.

"Let's not talk about that man! Naiirita ako sakanya!" I said with my greet teeth. She looked confused.

"Why?" She asked me. 

I looked at my daughter and lowered down my voice para hindi iyon marinig ng anak ko. I don't want her to witness how jerk his dad is. 

"He arrived very late at the evening sometimes. Not that I'm worried! Duh! But of course, hinahanap siya ng anak niya! Bakit hindi niya kayang ipagpaliban yung babae niya para sa anak niya!?" Inis na sabi ko rito. She chuckled at my reaction. 

"Yung anak lang ba ang nag hahanap?" She asked with a nang aasar na ngiti. 

"Gago. Oo! Pati yung multo!" Sabi ko rito and she laughed at me. 

"Isa, you need to fix your relationship with Chase. Not saying na magkabalikan kayo or something, but try to act like a parent who's not fighting or whatever. Pretty sure mapapansin ni Cheysela na you're not like other parents who's sweet to each other. I mean, you can explain that to her once she grows up." Maingat na sabi nito sa akin. Tumango tango naman ako sakanya. 

"Yes. Pilit ko namang inaayos. I talk to him softly and even offered him to some snacks that I made! Pero mukang sinapian siya ng demonyo! Napaka sungit. Daig pa may buwanang dalaw!" Inis na sabi ko ulit rito.
