Warming the Ice Queen's Tears

Chapter 43.1

"Are we still together on this...'til the end?" Walang emosyon niyang tanong mula sa likod ko.

Nakatanaw ako sa labas ng opisina ko habang nakahawak sa ulo. Bigla nalang itong sumakit pagkaalis namin sa ospital. Siguro ay dahil sa sobrang iyak o stress. Hindi ko alam.

Magulo ang isip ko at kanina pa ko hirap huminga. Why? It's because of the heartbreak.

Kristoff is having a child with another woman. Alam niyo ba kung gano kasakit na malaman ang katotohanang iyon? Sobrang sakit.

I couldn't feel anything except for utter betrayal, heartbreak and pain. The man I loved betrayed me. Kagaya ng naramdaman ko kay Azel noon pero mas malala pa. Maybe Rainne was right on the first place. That he's bad news and that he would only hurt me like Aiden and Azel.

Hindi ko matanggap ang sakit. Ayokong tanggapin ang sakit. It's too much. Durug na durog na ko at mas nadurog ako ngayon.

First it felt amazing like I was flying from the ground, soaring up in the clouds with him as my wings but then he cut them off and now I'm buried deep.

The man I thought healed me crushed my heart again until it was shattered to tiny pieces, almost powdered with the truth.

The truth that we couldn't be together anymore.

I turned around to face her, my face passive and blank with emotions. Same as her.

"Yes." I breathed. "'Til the end."

She smiled a bit, turned around and reached for the office phone's handset that she offered. "Then make the call."

"Promise me."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of them like their mine and give them great future. They won't even know the difference."

Kumirot muli ang sugat sa puso ko. Isa ito sa paraan para masecure ang mga anak ko. Kristoff would be occupied now with his own kid so I needed someone other than him to take care of my babies.

Mas makakabuti kung sa kakilala ko sila ihahabilin. Pwedeng kay Andrea because the kids knew her but believe it or not... I trust Rainne.

Tumitig muna ako sa kanya saglit at tinanggap ang telepono. Ilang beses muna nag-ring ang telepono bago nasagot.

"Mr. Faustino..."

Bumaba ako sa sasakyan at sumunod siya. Sumalubong sa'kin si Mila at bumati.

"The kids?" Tanong ko.

Sumulyap muna siya kay Rainne na nasa likod ko bago sumagot. "Nanonood po kasama sina Leah."

I went straight to the living room and so the kids sitting on the sofa with their eyes focused on the TV. Their nannies and three bodyguards are also inside.

"Mommy." Agad na bumaba si Nine nang makita ako at mabilis na nag-angat ng tingin si Seven at ngumiti. Bumagal at nagdalawang isip si Nine sa pagtakbo ng makita niya ang kasunod ko pero agad din lumapit sa'kin ng tawagin ko ang mga pangalan nila.

I bit my lower lip to suppress the tears verging to come out. I couldn't help but to smile seeing them also smiling while almost running to me.

Parang nawala ang bigat sa dibdid ko nang yakapin nila ang bewang ko. I signaled the other people around to leave. I kissed the kids on the top of their heads while they walked out of the room.

"Mommy na miss ka namin. Seven almost cried earlier because you and daddy weren't here. San na si daddy? He promised that we would go to Disneyland. Punta tayo 'don, mommy."
