Hiding Blessed

Chapter 22

Tatianna Blice Solais

"Plans now, Tatianna. Pati kay Declan at Catalione wala kang paalam, you know they deserve to know where you are."

Isang malalim na paghinga ang pinakawalan ko bago humarap kay Orion. Taddieler is now sleeping at our room, maybe he got tired that much awhile ago.

"Then, I'll unblock them when I'm ready too. I want a peace of mind Orion, give me some." I speak and turn my back on him.

"What about your parents? Mag f-five years ka nang nagtatago. Magtatago ka nalang ba palagi?" salita pa nito. Tinigil ko muna ang ginagawa ko at nagbuntong hininga ulit.

Again, I left all of my loves behind. My friends, Catalione and Declan. My parents. Amirah and Demetrius who help me when I am pregnant. It made me feel bad thinking that they're looking for me for 5 years. Orion told me everything.

"Kakasabi ko lang na gusto ko ng katahimikan, hindi kaya kita pakainin Orion." pagbabanta ko ng makaharap na ako sakanya. Ngumuso lamang ito sa akin at humalukipkip.

Isip bata talaga!

"What about Thaddeo, Tati?" tuluyan na akong hindi nakaimik sakanya.

"You left him without knowing everything. Malay mo baka inahas lang talaga siya ng aswang na yun. Baka wala talagang kasalanan ang kaibigan ko." pagpapatuloy pa nito.

Tuluyan na akong natahimik sa muling isinaad niya. The thoughts of Orion makes me think of it. Paano pala kung tama siya.

I met him 3 years ago, he's a friend of Thaddeo. Ka- bussiness. Highschool friend. Best buddy. I guess. Thaddeo is looking for us since when we left until now. Ang sabi ni Orion ay nagpapatulong ito sa paghahanap sa amin and that's why. I beg for him para hindi niya sabihin kay Thaddeo kung saan kami. But afterwards, he started to stay at our place which is Tagaytay.

"How can you sure about it?" panghahamon ko pa sakanya. He just smirk at me that made me a face.

"We're best of bestfriend." he mocked.

Napatulala na lamang ako sakanya, my eyes started to get blurry, my heart started to beat and feels like nervous. Paano kung totoo ang sinasabi niya?

"Nasusunog na ang niluluto mo!" napabalik ako sa ulirat ng biglaang sumigaw si Orion at natataranta.

Taranta akong humarap sa aking niluluto at ganun na lang ang paghinga ko ng maluwag ng makitang hindi ito nasusunog. Tinignan ko si Orion na ngayon ay patawa tawa na.

"Seryoso mo kasi eh." saad pa nito at nag peace sign pa sa akin. I just rolled my eyes at him and diverted my attention on what I am doing.

Pagkatapos kong magluto ay inihanda ko kaagad ang mesa para makakain agad kaming tatlo. Orion left the kitchen awhile ago and make a call of his secretary. Pagkatapos kong maihanda ang hapagkainan ay umakyat agad ako sa kwarto namin ni Taddieler para gisingin siya.

"Baby, wake up! We're going to eat now, come on little man!" ani ko habang kinikiliti siya. Narinig ko ang mahihinang pagtawa nito tsaka siya hinay hinay bumangon at kinuskos ang mga mata.

"Mommy." he said while using his sleepy voice. He suddenly hug me and give a peck at my cheeks.

"So good to wake up when you're the one who's waking me up, Mommy. I'm seeing your beautiful face everytime you're waking me up." malambing nitong ani tsaka ngumiti.

Napangiti ako sakanya, ang lambing talaga ng anak kong ito. " You too baby. You're so handsome and you're my only one handsome baby." malambing ko ring saad at tsaka pinagtungki ang dulo ng aming mga ilong.

"Baba na tayo." yaya ko. Sabay kaming bumaba agad at nag tungo papunta ng kusina. Pagkarating namin sa mess ay agad ko siyang pinaupo duon.

" Just wait here, I'll call your Tito Orion firs—"

"Mommy, I just saw Daddy in my dreams. He's totally look like me just like the picture that I saw at Tito Orion's phone." natigilan ako ng bigla siyang sumabat sa sasabihin ko.

Halos maduling ako kakatitig sakanya dahil wala akong masabi. I just only stand straight on his side while he's looking at me.

"Tito Orion let me see his pictures." dagdag pa nito. Sa kaloob looban ko ay gustong gusto ko ng saktan si Orion.

"W-what happened to your dream?" nauutal man ay pilit kong pinapasigla ang boses ko dahil baka ay magtaka siya sa akin.

"He's chasing us while we're running away from him and your grabbing me." tuluyan na akong natuod sa kinatatayuan ko.

What's the meaning of that dream of him? It looks like totally what happened when we're running away from him for the past years.

That moment is still fresh in my mind. Hindi ko makalimutan at hinding hindi ko iyon malilimutan. After I ran away that day at that company, mabilisan akong bumyahe papunta ng bahay at walang patubli-tubling pumasok sa loob ng bahay. Kinuha ko lang si Blessed kay Manang at agad pumanhik paalis. I just thanked Manang for helping me because I owe her alot. After that day, I approached my friend to book a private flight to Tagaytay at nagpasyang duon nalang manirahan sa rest house ng mga Magulang ko.

I just texted My parents 'thankyou'. Kasama na duon sina Catalione at Declan, pati na rin sina Amirah at Demetrius at ang dalawang magkakapatid na sina Yuen at Thaddius. After that, I block all of them, pati na ang mga Decatoria lalong lalo na si Thaddeo. At nagtagal yun hanggang ngayon, sometimes I got a call from a unknown number but I didn't answer all of that kaya nagmumukhang exclusive ang number ko dahil kakaunti lang ang laman ng contacts.

"Baby, just don't mind that dream okay?" ani ko at pumantay sakanya tsaka siya hinawakan sa kanyang mga balikat. "But why?—". "The foods is getting cold, I'll call your Tito. Just wait here baby." ani ko at tinalikuran na siya.

Talking to Taddieler, he looks like hurt. I know he's longing for his Father's and I know I can't just let it happen. But looking at him look like that made me conscience. Thinking that he's hurting.

Nagpakawala ako ng isang malaking buntong hininga habang naglalakad papunta sa labas. I wonder what Orion's doing out there, ang tagal niya kasi bumalik.

I open the door and step outside.
"Orion—".

Standing there while looking at the two man talking seriously. Presenting my froze body at the two of them. Enough for me to see Orion talking with Thaddeo.
