Rainy Days (Daylight Series #1)

Chapter 24

Warning: R18

It was like the world stopped when I heared a familiar voice. The beat of my heart raged in nervousness. He heared us! How can I explain about this.

We turned around and saw the madness on his face. Para bang hindi ko pa kinukumpirma pero alam na niya. He knows.

"Hiding my children from me, Natalia?" He uttered in his cold voice.

I looked at Jake to asked for help. But his eyes says that he won't help me this time. It was between me and Thadeus. Pero nagbabakasali parin ako.

He kissed my forehead before he leaved us. Para bang sinasabi niya na oras na para sabihin ko sa kan'ya ang totoo. I know he deserve to know.

"Not here, Thadeus... Not in front of my father's coffin." Umalis ako do'n.

I walked to the nearest playground and good thing walang mga bata na naglalaro. It was peaceful. It was like the destiny give us that kind of scenery to talked.

Pati tadhana nakiki-ayon narin sa sinabi ni Jake. I was facing the tree while hugging myself. I feel the coldness of the wind through my skin.

"Spill it out, Natalia..."

I sighed. "Yes... It was true. I hide your children from you... Because I feel like I don't deserve you after what I did."

My tears started to fall.

"That n-night when I pushed you away... I didn't know that I was already pregnant." I started sobbing. "It hurts seeing you in p-pain and b-begging me not to pushed you a-away..." My voice broke.

Silence filled us for the moment. Huminga ako ng malalim para humugot ng lakas ng loob para sabihin sa kan'ya ang totoo. Ang lahat ng nangyari sa'min noon.

"I was fix to marriage, Thadeus..." I stopped. "Dad wanted me to marry the eldest Villarica. But I didn't agree about it, marrying someone I don't love is like a suicide for me. Walang divorce dito sa Pilipinas and I hate him. His guts, all of him." Pagsisimula ko.

"Sinagot kita kasi totoong mahal kita... The first time that I saw you, you caught me. Not just my sight but all of me. You were out of my league to be honest... I-I was telling myself that I don't like you... But destiny is playing with my feelings. Instead of not liking you, I fell in love with you." Hindi siya nagsalita. Kaya nagpatuloy ako. "When dad found out our relationship... He warned me to cut ties with you or else..."

"Else what, Natalia Yvaine?" Malamig na sabi niya.

"Or else... Y-You won't have jobs for the rest of your life. And I don't want it... Paano ang pamilya mo kung mawawalan ka ng trabaho? Paano ang mga kapatid mo na nag-aaral. Your parents is not getting any younger... Ikaw nalang ang pag-asa nila." I wiped my tears.
