Same Old Love

Chapter 41

"talk to him, Mom" Alfonso whispered.

"I already talked to him" I whispered.

"No, about your decision"

"Decision?"

"If you still going to take him back. Don't mind me, Mom. I'll support you no matter what decision you make. Don't take him back just because of me, just because you wanted to give me a complete family. If you think it's not the right decision to take him back then don't. We all know he's getting married. Forget you both have a son, forget about me, and then decide. I'm validating your feelings, Mommy. I wanted you to be free, and happy"

"Are you sure?" I asked.

He nodded. "We'll go back at London, if you decided not to take him back. I'm okay with Tito Ryle, he's nice"

"What do you mean Tito Ryle?"

"I know he has feelings for you, and wanted to court you, let him. I know for sure he'll treat you so much better"

"Come'n, Alf. Your Dad is literally infront of us" I whispered.

"He won't hear us" He whispered, and chuckle. "I'll leave, and I know that your decision is the right one" He let go from the hug.

Emelia, looked at him. "Nice meeting you, Lola. I hope it's not the last time seeing you" He said smiling.

"Of course this will not be the last" Emelia said.

"I'll go to bed, It's late already. Dad, I'm so so happy to finally meet you" Alf uttered. He walked towards Emelia, and Greggy to give them a hug. Alfonso left with ate Imee.

"I'll be leaving too. Pupuntahan ko lang si Lusio" Emelia said, and entered her car.

I looked at Kuya Bong, and signaled him to go inside so greggy and I can talk privately.

I cleared my throat and looked at him. "You should get going, and get ready for your wedding tomorrow"

"W-what do you mean? I won't attend the wedding" He said.

"Nahihibang ka na ba? I don't want to be selfish, hindi porket may anak tayo ay iiwan mo na siya. I know how painful it is to be left behind. Just- just don't do it to her"

"But I wanted to be with you"

"We're over already, Greggy. Sapat nang nakilala mo ang anak natin"

"Irene, wag namang ganito" He said, and his tears started to fall.

"Alliana is waiting for you, Greggy. Please don't hurt her" I said, and forced myself to smile.

"Irene, please" He said, sobbing.

"Matagal na tayong tapos, Greggy. I'm just your past, and Alliana is your present and your soon to be wife. Don't hurt her, don't leave her, Alfonso and I will be okay. Don't worry, I won't take Alfonso away from you"

"But-"

"Forget about us already. It happened 7 years ago. I don't love you anymore. I have a husband, Greggy" I closed my eyes, as I lied.

I had to lie, It can help him to move on.

Greggy looked directly into my eyes. I'm trying so hard not to cry.

"Irene, look at me. That's not true, that's not true right? Say it to me, say it to me that that is not true" He said, and held my hand.

"Greggy, It's true! Wag mo nang lokohin yang sarili mo. You once left me for Alliana, and I know that you loved her. So please, stop making yourself suffer. Nandyan na si Alliana, siya na yung nandyan, and I know that she love you"
