Destiny Played it Well

CHAPTER 84

JEN's POV.

"Jen, please talk to me. We can't be like this all the time. Did I do something to upset you? Tell me, please." pag mamakaawa ni Evo nung mag walk out ako sa garden. I thought hindi siya yung bisita kaya bumaba ako sa kwarto. Ilang araw ko na nga siya iniiwasan eh.

"Evo, let's just stop this, okay? This, this is getting complicated." I answered.

"Complicated? Like how? How is this complicated? I already talk to your Dad, I-I don't see any reason for this to be complicated." rason pa niya. I'm doing this for you, Evo. I'm giving you the favor para dito. Mahirap ipaliwanag, ako mismo gulat na gulat din. "Jen, please, stop!" he then grab my wrist and pulled me closer to him. "Please talk to me."

Iwinakli ko agad ang kamay ko at umaktong nagalit sakanya. "No, Evo! I'm doing this for you so stop this gibberish and just leave my house peacefully!" I yelled at him. He look so shocked but still trying to convince me na kausapin siya.

"What did I do to you? Why are you being like this? You're so confusing! You know I loved you so much and I'm willing to do what ever it takes but you're pushing me away—"

"I'm pregnant." there. I said it. I'm pregnant. I don't know how did it happen nor idea I was pregnant.

"P-Pardon?" yung mukha niya parang gulat na gulat. "I-Is that mine?"

"Of course it's yours, you punk! Ikaw lang naman nakauna sa akin!" bulyaw ko. Para siuang hindi makapaniwala sa narinig niya at ilang beses ng napalunok at napakurap. Nasaktan ako sa tanong niya kung sakanya ba itong pinagbubuntis ko. Walang duda sakanya ito dahil siya lang naman naka-kuha ng Vcard tas may pa bonus points agad.

"When did you find out you're pregnant?" he asked.

I can't even look at his eyes. Nasasaktan ako sa thought na baka hindi niya tanggapin na buntis ako. I mean, hindi kami prepared for this. It's not that I don't want this baby pero napaaga yung pag dating niya. "Last week, delayed na ako kaya napagisipan ko mag PT."

"How?"

"Remember the night I was devastated na ayaw mag papigil ni Daddy to donate his cornea to Erah? I got drunk and sinamahan mo ako nun, I partied all night and almost got passed out then the next morning nagising nalang ako na katabi kita and we're naked." sagot ko. That was too detailed but I really don't give a damn.

"Oh God..." pikit mata kung pinakingan yung sinabi niya. He sounds so disappointed, maybe? I can't see his reaction dahil di ako makatingin sakanya. "God damn it, Jen! Why you didn't tell me!? Is that the reason why you're pushing me away?!" galit na tugon niya. Napaluha nalang ako habang nakatingin sa lupa dahil alam kung hindi niya talaga kami matatanggap. Sana hindi ko nalang sinabi para hindi na ako, kami nasaktan. "Hey... Hey... Don't cry..." hinawakan niya ako sa magkabilang balikat at pinatingin sa kanya. "You could have just told me. You don't have to face this on your own. You have me, Jen. You always have me and now that we're having a baby, you and our baby will always have me. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed you didn't tell me about this. You can't just push me away just like that, you know I won't give you up." he cupped my face and wipe my tears using his thumb. "I love you and I'm willing to devote my life to you." and he sealed his statement and kissed my lips. Napaiyak pa ako lalo kasi akala ko he wouldn't accept us, our baby. I was so wrong and immature for pushing him away kahit diko pa alam ang sagot niya.

ERAH'S POV.

The rally went well. Masaya ang mga tao to see Sandro and his ka partido na nag latag ng mga plataporma para sa lugar nila. Lahat sila excited for Sandro's victory. Nandito pa din ako sa front area habang nakatingin lang sakanya sa stage while he was looking at the fireworks. I'm sorry for being coward at times like this, baka kasi madawit sa if ever may makakita sa atin na mag kasama. I'm always rooting for your success, Sands. Nakita ko si Sandro na kinuha ang phone niya sa bulsa at tinutok iyon sa fireworks saka nag type. I felt my phone vibrate na hawak ko and saw his name on the phone screen. Tinignan ko kung ano and it was the picture of the fireworks he took and sinend sa akin with the caption "It would be more fun if you're up here." namilog agad ang mata ko sa text niya. Anong ibig niyang sabihin? Nakita niya kaya ako? Nagiging pranning lang ba ako? Did he really saw me?

Inayos ko agad ang cap ko at mask then tumingin sa lupa para hindi niya talaga ako makita. Wth? Nagulat ako nung nag vibrate ulit ang phone ko at tumatawag na siya. Sa gulat ko ay na decline ko agad ang call at pag tingin ko sa stage wala na siya. Maybe nagiging pranning lang ako, nilagyan ko agad ng meaning yung text niya. Gosh, Erah. For the second time tumawag siya ulit at for the second time hindi ko sinagot para isipin niyang busy ako, at kapag sinagot ko ito, baka marinig niya yung background ng mga tao kaya wag na talaga. Naisipan ko na umalis sa venue since tapos na siya sa speech niya at baka makita pa niya ako. Lumabas na agad ako sa VIP area when one of the security guard tried to stop me.

"Excuse me, Sir? Is there any problem?" Tanong ko.

"Ma'am, sumama po kayo sa amin, wag po po kayong mag-alala, hindi ka po namin sasaktan." naalarma agad ako sa sinabi niya. What?! May nagawa ba akong violation?! Bakit nila ako kailangan isama, ayoko naman makipag-bonding sakanila.

"Sir, parang may mali, lilinawin ko lang po, wala ko akong ginawang violation, bakit niyo po ako isasama?" kalmado kung tanong. Baka pag nag wala ako, mas lalo pa nila akong pwersahang dalhin sa kung saan man.

"We just take orders, Ma'am. Please come with us." sagot niya pa. I don't have any choice but sumama kahit wala akong idea bakit nila ako isasama. Iniscortan nila ako papuntang backstage like parang VIP na VIP yung dating ko, pati ako kinabahan sa mga ganito. Nakarating kami sa backstage and doon nag-aantay si Sandro sa isang sulok.

"Thank goodness your good. Did you got hurt?" he asked then held my shoulders while looking at me from head to toe.

"I'm fine. I'm fine." awkward...

"Sana sinabi mo na andito ka para you can sit there on the stage or just wait at the backstage."

"Kelan mo pa ako nakita?" deritsa kung tanong. Napawi agad ang ngiti niya and cleared his throat.

"5 minutes after nag simula ang fireworks, I saw you looking at the fireworks too. No matter how you covered yourself with the cap and mask, I will always recognize you, Erah especially your eyes." napairap nalang ako sa sinabi niya at pinigilang matawa. That should be romantic but funny at the same time.

"Yeah, right. Psh. Hahahaha... Mission failed." biro ko sa napurnadang pagtatago ko sakanya. He was really happy to see me at hindi niya ako pinabaayan sa dinner night nila kasama ng mga ka partido niya. Pati nga si Vinny nagulat na nakita niya ako na kasama ni Sandro kasi hindi niya naman daw sinabi kay Sandro na andito ako at yun pinaliwanag ko bakit and he was so cringe sa reason ng Kuya niya how he saw me. Masaya ang dinner night not until I saw Ayesha talking and smiling with Sandro. Was the rumors about them are true?
