THE PROFESSOR'S MANIPULATION

This is the last part of our journey to their love story. I hope you're still with me to my next story. Thank you so much for the support my tots:)

I was taken a back at mabilis sinalo si Mandy nang bigla siyang matumba. I repeatedly tap her cheeks to wake her up. She just collapsed in the middle of our walk, out of the venue.

Everyone shouted. Maraming dumalo sa akin ngunit binuhat ko na siya at nagmadaling lumabas ng restaurant.

Damn it! What's happening to my wife!

This is the same feeling when I saw Sonya downstairs. Blood came running down her legs. Nagkalat iyon. And upstairs, I saw Mandy, standing while looking at her.

Mabilis kong dinalohan si Sonya at binuhat. Damn! Her baby is in danger. Nagmula man iyon sa kataksilan niya sa 'kin, hindi ko pa rin kakayanin na mamatay ang bata.

I left our mansion with burning eye's for Mandy. I know she will be more angry at me. I left her with harsh word. The things I regretted the most.

Umuwi ako matapos ang nangyari para dalohan si Mandy, but she is no where to be found. Manang told me she left, but didn't tell me where.

Mas lumala ang sitwasyon naming dalawa. I tried to contact her family, her friend if they know where she is. No one know, even her parents.

Iyon din ang araw kung kailan inamin ko lahat ng kasalanan ko. I was manipulated by Sonya's father. Dahil sa kagustohan niyang magkatuluyan kami ng anak niya.

He was obsessed with money. He believed I'll produced money once I ended up with her daughter, Sonya. Pero diyan siya nagkakamali. Matagal na kaming hiwalay ni Sonya bago pa ako ikasal kay Mandy.

She confessed to me she cheated with my old time friend back in College. Humarap siya sa akin, umiiyak, nagmamakaawa.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was tempted."

"That's bullshit!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.

"Sabihin mo sa akin, sino ang ama? Sino? Huh?!"

"Si Leo! Si Leo ang ama!" Umiiyak niyang amin, and I was left dumbfounded.

At dahil nalaman iyon ng ama niya, pinilit niya akong akuin ang bata. She was abused by her father. Alright, I accepted that reason that's why I agreed. Hindi nagustohan ng ama niya ang balita kaya nawalan ako ng kalayaan.

I hurt my wife multiple times. I made her hate me. Now, because of my recklessness, I failed to keep a sight after her. She hide somewhere in America.

What happened that night traumatised her so much kaya nang muli kaming magkita, halos manginig siya sa takot.

And it pained me so much while watching her keep running away from me because of that. Our past made her forget me.

"It looks like a dark painting." with a deep voice I said.

I saw her in an art gallery, looking in a particular painting. That's the third time I stalked her.

Sinusubukan kong alamin ang lahat ng ginagawa niya. I've been doing this for the past years. Noon nga lang, binabalitaan lang ako ng mga hinire kong investigator para sa kaniya, ngayon ay hindi ko na natiis at ako na mismo ang naghahanap sa kaniya.

"Ahm... Yeah?" Parang wala sa sariling tugon niya.

I tried to get a hold of myself. Ayokong biglain siya. I will probably trigger her trauma.

"Panigurado'y magsisisi sa huli ang lalaki kapag naputol ang lubid na komokonekta sa kanila." sabi ko pa. That made her looked at me. She gasp and take a step back when she finally faced me.
