The Devil's Sweetheart

Kabanata 54

54. Won the battle

After hearing my parents story, we talk about business. I never thought that dad is like Asher. The y are both same of thinking how would they get pregnant the woman they love.

"I would like to asked you, sweetheart. Don't you have plan to go back on work?" Tita said.

I look at her. After the long storytelling and sharing the love story of my parent's, we didn't notice the time. I was busy slicing the meat when Tita spoke. Tita is busy preparing the other recipes.

"Asher don't want me to work, Tita." I said while rolling my eyes.

I always asked and talk about it but he will change immediately to avoid that topic. Celandine is busy looking at us while preparing our launch. I still hoping that, they come home before dinner. Celandine is sitting of one of the stole chair.

"He just want you safe, iha. But, after you give birth you need to go back and manage your own company." She said.

I nod at her. "I know Tita. I also have so many papers in office. I'm managing two big companies. Is not that easy but it's fine with me." I said.

I let go the knife that I'm holding when I'm done slicing the meat of chicken. Nasulyupan ko si Tita na binigyan ng mantika Ang kaniyang paglulutuan. Tapos ko na ring maslice ang sibuyas, bawang at luya na isusunod Niya kapag mainit na ang mantika. Tita wants to cook my favorite food.

"Maybe, your husband already know that. Pregnant woman is really sensitive, he just worried that if your working you might feel stress that may caused and affect to your baby." She said.

She even said to me a while ago that she can help me managing the two companies but I refuse. I know tito is busy of their own company too and he is Dean that I'm talking of the school who's my son studying.

"I know that too Tita. If I started to talk about work he immediately change the topic." I said and chuckle.

Nailing si Tita sa sinabi ko. After I washed my hands ay nagpunas ako at tinabihan si celandine at umupo sa kaniyang gilid. Nagulat nga ako ng magvolunter si Tita na ang iluluto raw Niya ay adobong manok. Knowing Tita, she always cook veggies. She said, she just want to cook for me with my favorite food. My son is still quite while looking and watching the two of us.

"He just want to be careful, iha." She said habang busy sa paghalo.

Matapos niyang ihulog Ang bawang, sibuyas at luya ay isinunod Niya ang manok. She look at after she's done and give me a smiled.

"Kamusta pala ang pag uusap niyo ni percy?" She asked. Umupo siya sa harapan namin ni celandine.

"He told me if it's okay if he will go out and have a bond with celandine, Tita." I said.

I kiss my son's cheeks. "Is that all?" She asked. I nod. "Do you want to come with your dad, baby?" I asked.

He give me a smiled. "Is it find, mama? I already know that I have a twin half siblings too. Can I have a bond with them?" He said and his cheeks reddened, probably he's shy.

I laughed and smiled at him. I don't want to take your happiness away, baby. I'm not that selfish para hindi iyon ibigay sayo.

"Of course, why not? Just promise me that before dinner, your already here." I said softly.

He nod and smiled. We hug each other. I look at my auntie who's looking at us, smiling widely. I smiled at Tita too. This is it, we will be live a normal life baby. We don't need to hide anymore.

"I promise, mama." He said cheerfully.

"That's good to hear that your already forgiving and moving on. I'm happy to hear that, iha." She said and give me a light smile.
