MY SECOND CHANCE GIRL (ON GOING)

CHAPTER 3: ANNICA

I woke up to the smell of my favorite lasagna.. Andrei's a one hell of a guy but he's really a good cook... better than me.. he's busy checking the lasagna and did not notice me stepping in the kitchen..

'Hey there my sexy cook..' i hugged him from the back.

'Gising na ang mahal na reyna' he kidded and turned around to face me.

'Salamat sa iyong mahiwagang lasagna mahal na hari' He chuckled and gave me a tight embrace.

'Im hungry love' paglalambing ko.

'Ill just finish your favorite salmon pasta and we'll eat na hon' he gave me a very sweet smile. 'Then ihahatid na kita sa inyo'

'Can I just stay here?' I pouted and he pinched my cheeks.

'As much as I want you here, hindi pwede hon... ayokong magalit sila tita sayo' he consoled me and I cling my arms on his neck..

'As if they care.' I hissed and she hugged me again.

'Of course they do. Now fix your things and Ill prepare our dinner.'
I immediately did what im told to. Naupo ako sa gilid ng kama at pinagmasdan ang mga pictures namin ni Andrei, I may have a not so ideal family as of the moment but having Andrei is really a blessing.. he never left my side, never failed to comfort me, catches me during my downfall and lifted me when im down. Andrei makes me feel so loved and lucky..

'Hon.. lets eat na.' Pukaw niya sakin, nagpatiuna na siyang maglakad at nakasunod ako but before we get out of the room, bigla ko siyang niyakap sa likuran at natigilan siya.

'I love you hon.. I love you so much' I said at hinawakan niya ang ang kamay ko at humarap sakin.

'Your parents will be fine hon.. they will' he knows me too well.. niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit.

'Wala na silang pag-asa hon' i hold my tears, sana pwedeng dito nalang ako sa kanya, ayoko ng umuwi s bahay namin na nagiging background music na ang pag-aaway nila mommy at daddy.

Binitiwan niya ako mula sa pagkakayakap.

'Hindi mo ako iiwan diba?' I asked like a child.

'I dont see a reason to do that.. tara na kumain na tayo hon..' he wrapped his arms around my waist.

Masarap ang kain ko dahil masarap din ang usapan namin ni Andrei.. ewan ko antagal na namin pero hindi kami mawalan walan ng topic, laging may bagong pinag-uusapan. Hanggang sa sasakyan papunta samin panay parin ang kwentohan at usapan namin ni Andrei, maybe because we started off as bestfriends before we became lovers kaya komportable na kaming pag-usapan lahat.

'We're here hon' sambit niya and I forced a smile dahil ayokong nag-aalala siya sakin.

'Thanks sa paghatid hon' he nodded and I moved to give him a kiss.

I waved at him bago ako pumasok sa gate.. napansin ko agad na wala sa garahe ang sasakyan ni daddy, pagpasok ko sa bahay tahimik ang paligid, paakyat na sana ako sa hagdan ng mapansin kong may ilaw pa ang poolside, nilapag ko ang bag at dumiretso dun. Its my mom, holding a wine glass on her left hand and a cigarette on her right

'Mom' lumingon siya sakin at parang gusto kong umiyak sa sobrang lungkot na nakikita ko sa mga mata niya.

'You're here.. nagdinner ka na ba?' She asked at hinulog niya ang sigarilyo tapos inapakan.

'You dont smoke' I muttered.

'Well lately, it helps to calm me.' She replied.

'Si daddy?' My dad, my dad used to be a perfect father and husband figure, masayang masaya sila ni mommy noon at lagi siyang may panahon samin until.... until she hired that bitch who ruined our family. His homewrecker secretary.
