Chapter 50
Credible
For a few weeks, I am thankful that I am here staying and minimizing my thoughts about the past. And now, I decided to move forward and look forwards to the future I have with myself.
I opened the door. And sighed as I closed it slowly. Kinuha ko na ang maleta ko at nagsimula ng maglakad patungo sa elevator.
"Are you really leaving?" napatigil ako sa paglalakad at pinikit ang aking mga mata.
Am I dreaming? Or I am hallucinating? Whatever it was...I should never drag myself out of the plan again. I started to walk.
"Are you walking away from me? From us Misis Villanueva?"
I stopped again. I closed my eyes as I heard footsteps coming on me.
I opened my eyes and looked for the voice. The man is looking fresh in his white T-shirt and blue pants. And have weary blue eyes.
"What's the point of staying when you already had a family?"
He looked at me thoroughly. I glance at my watch and when I looked at him again. He is looking at me with crossed arms.
"I will stay abroad for good so I can move on. And don't worry if you want to marry her, you can call me to stay a bit here to finally file our divorce. Hindi pa siguro kayo ikakasal ngayon at malaki na ang tiyan ni Olivia. But congrats to you both," I smiled no trace of pain and bitterness.
I guess I accept the fact.
"You are my family, Grace," he declared.
"Stop pushing things that it is not meant to be, Felix. Stop it so we can't hurt each other," and I lowered my gaze.
"I am sorry for taking so long to finally tell and let you see the result," aniya.
Huminga na naman ako ng malalim. He pulled some paper on his pocket. Kinuha niya ang kamay ko at nilagay doon ang papel.
"This is the result of the DNA test."
I grabbed it and walked towards the huge window. Dahan dahan kong binuklat at binasa ang laman noon.
"it's negative, but you should double-check," pang gigiit ko.
"I already did thrice. But still negative. Hindi ako ang ama, Grace. I can assure you that me and her, we didn't do that."
"Pero kung hindi ikaw? Sino?" sabay tanggal ko sa pagtakip ko sa baba ko sa gulat kanina.
Unti unti kong tiniklop ito at binalingan siya.
"Probably her ex, her first love and maybe his last love," sabay tawa niya pa.
Kumunot ang noo ko. But he walked towards me when he is now serious. He hold my hand while we are in the huge window, kung saan tanaw na tanaw ang mga building.
"Grace, Love. Olivia is my great friend, she is just that. Ni kailan hindi ko siya nagustuhan kahit pilit niya akong pinipilit na maging kami noon. I never love her more than a friend. I never love her the way I love you. I only love her as one of my childhood friends. "
The blue eyes bored into mine. Tiningnan ko lang ang kamay na nakahawak sa akin at ang mga mata na nanatili sa akin.
"I am sorry for taking so long for the explantion. Ginawa ko naamn to noon pero hindi ko nagawa noong mga bata pa tayo. Naunahan ako ng salita na kailangan mo ng space. I know I am really busy. I really blame myself for anything that comes on our way."
