TEMPTATIONS OF US

CHAPTER 69

Duterte PoV

as the sunrise rise up i open my eyes and scratch it and yawn then i look beside me when i didn't see any imee.

agad naman akong tumayo at pumunta sa guest room, i know she's mad pero di niya sinasabi saakin
at hindi niya pinaparamdam, she acting normal like there's nothing happen between us.

pagkabukas ko naman ng guest room i didn't see any imee kaya nagsimula na akong mag panic agad naman na akong bumaba pero hindi pa ako nakakapunta ng kusina ng makita ko na siya sa dining table

she's preparing something, am i still having my dream? usually mas maaga akong nagigising sakanya pero mukhang iba ata ngayon

she stop preparing when she see me, she smile then walked towards me

"good morning babe how's your sleep" she kiss my lips.

"good babe how about you did you sleep well?" i ask as i rubbing my finger in her cheeks.

if i could turn back the time babe hindi ko hahayaang mangyari saatin to, hindi ko hahayaang mabuntis ko si honeylet.

hindi ko sinasadya.....lasing ako non after the ceremony in malacañang she approached me and i though she's imee. and then that happen

"i'm okay let's eat" inalalayan ko naman siya sa pagupo

"about your pregnancy babe, okay ka lang ba? di ka ba pinapahirapan ni baby" tanong ko, she smile at me

"i'm okay" she said then i kiss her baby bump and her forehead

"i love you imee, forgive me" she didn't respond instead she smile at me

"i made you breakfast, i already check your schedule you have meeting with ms. avancena. wag mong i cancel para sa bayang pilipino rin naman yon" she said normally as she put egg and bacon in my plate

"i'm planning to cancel all my meetings right now babe to spend my day with you" she stop for what her doing and face me up

"you don't need to do that, mas magagalit ako kung ipagliliban mo ang trabaho mo kesa saakin"

Imee PoV

aaminin ko rod, kahit sinasabi kong tinatanggap ko at tinitiis ko ang mga sakit na dinulot mo saakin.

hindi ko parin magawang kalimutan ang lahat, hindi ganon kadali

"but why babe? didn't you want to spend your day with me" he ask, i smile. yes rod, i didn't want you for now. i can feel the disturbance of your presence in my day

"Filipino needs you than me." i said

"are you sure" he held my hand, i smile and nood and continue eating

then the silence condensed us not until he tried to break the awkwardness

"babe about honeylet-" i cut him

"is the bacon is good? hindi ba overcooked" singit ko agad sakanya

as long as i can, ayokong pagusapan namin si honeylet. kung kaya habang buhay bakit hindi

wala akong pakielam kay honeylet at sa anak niya pero kahit bali-baliktarin namin ang mundo may anak si rod kay honeylet at kailangan niya din panindigan yon

wala naman akong pakielam kung lunudin niya sa pera ang kabit niya pero ang mahalaga nasa amin siya ng anak ko, gagawin ko ang lahat wag lang mawalay ang anak ko sa tatay niya

kung kinakailangan pakainin ko ng pera ang anak niya sa labas gagawin ko wag lang siyang umalis

"babe" he held my hand

"rod i'm eating. tell me. didn't you want the food?" tanong ko di nalang siya sumagot at kumain nalang ulit.

-
after we had breakfast, umalis na din si rod at may meeting pa sila ni ms. honeylet, alam kong hindi lang meeting ang gagawin nila ofcourse they will talk about the child

so i call rod secretary to capture every bit of their movements. i video narin kung sakali, at first she didn't want pero iba talaga ang nagagawa ng pera

nakahiga ako ngayon at antok na antok, i'm here in irene room. hindi manlang napansin ni rod na hindi ako natulog sa tabi niya.

while i was scrolling in social media, christopher pop up in my phone.

i tap his name and some photos pop up on me, rod and honeylet photos merong asa park sila habang nakahalik siya tiyan ni honeylet, ganon din sa mall, sa baby store at kung saan saan pa

naramdaman ko naman ang pagtulo ng luha ko habang patuloy ako sa pagtingin ng mga pictures nila

what's your point by doing this, governor? sent

i already knew what your relationship with president outside of politics world senator marcos, those picture are from my private investigator. don't you see she have a mistress? received

i wipe my tears and sighed, why don't you try to leave me fucking alone!

sorry governor, i don't know what your talking about between me and the president because we didn't have any connection.. i think that just a rumor. sent

oh come on, don't lie at me senator marcos. after the president grab your hand from me while we're dancing, that's insane to think right? don't worry i don't have any intention to mess with the president i just want you to know everything, maybe you didn't know the president that much. aren't you? received

how come??

i'm sorry gov but can you just please leave me alone? and please i don't know what your saying. sent

is he out of his mind to do this? hindi niya ba naiisip na anytime pwede ko siyang isumbong kay rod?

i can feel my nervousness already

why did you know? sent

why are you doing this? sent

ilang minuto pa ng hindi parin siya nag re-reply so i keep breathing in and out.

then i immediately grab my phone beside me as he pop up again

he sent me a picture of him and my father.

i care for his daughter and his grand daughter, so if you want to know everything. the details etc...meet me at Shangri-la after lunch received

hindi ko na siya nireplyan, ano namang katotohanan ang sinasabi niya eh halos lahat na ata ng katotohanan nalaman ko na

plinano ba to ng tadhana na dapat sunod sunod ang pag atake ng mga katotohanan na patuloy akong winawasak?
