My Husband's Rival

CHAPTER 50

EIRLYS

                     "YOU'RE PREGNANT?"

I nodded. His eyes softened. I don't know, but he looks so happy with my news. Hindi ba siya kinabahan? Wala ba siyang disturbance na naramdaman dahil buntis ako?

"Oh, God..." He whispered.

He moved away from me. He covered my nakedness using his comforter and wore his boxers again. Inayos niya ang higa ko at agad akong pinatakan ng halik sa noo.

These are the things that I have not experienced nor felt from Draven. Walang ibang ginawa ang taong ‘yon kung hindi bigyan ako ng sama ng loob.

"I cannot believe it," He said and put his hand on my tummy.

"H-hindi ka ba galit?" I asked.

I mean... he entered the relationship with me because he wants revenge and then suddenly, magkakaro'n siya ng pananagutan sakin.

Kumunot ang noo niya. "Why would I?" He held my hand and kissed it.

I blinked twice. Oh, gosh... he confessed just now. That he loves me, too. I want to say that I do love him, too, but why can't I tell him? Why can't I speak for my feelings?

I bit my lower lip and shook my head.

Now that we're done. Now that I'm not in heat anymore, I just realized that hindi naman ito ang pinunta ko kay Xelios. It's just... my hormones! My feelings for him! Kaya nangyari ito.

Tumayo ako mula sa pagkakahiga dala dala ang comforter niya. Pinulot ko isa isa ang mga damit ko bago ako pumasok sa kanyang banyo.

"Eirlys, what's wrong?"

I locked the freaking door! Everything is blurry! And it's because of my freaking tears!

I caressed my tummy. I don't know why am I acting like this! Maybe because I'm scared to know the truth! Kung sino ba talaga ang ama ng dinadala ko. I don't want to know the truth anymore! I'm scared!

Now that Xelios told me that he loves me, hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin at mararamdaman ko kung malaman kong hindi sakanya ang dinadala ko.

Because if I'm carrying his child, then I can be perfectly happy! Pero paano kung hindi?! Paano kung kay Draven?!

"Please... be his child," I whispered.

Xelios looks so damn happy when I told him that I'm pregnant! Kahit na bunga ito ng pagkakamali namin! Kahit na kasal pa ako! He was happy!

He was so happy...

Because he loves me.

That's right. He loves me and I love him, too. All I need to do is to trust the universe.

I took a quick shower and wore my clothes again. I'm going home tonight. It's not like I want to stay here with Xelios kahit na ngayong sinabi niyang mahal niya ako. I want to know first who's the father of my baby.

Lumabas ako sa kanyang banyo nang walang matinong ayos. Kumpara sa kanina na ang ayos ayos ko! Kung ano ano pang ginawa ko.

He stood up when he saw me.

"Where are you going? You should stay here, My Lady," He said and caressed my arms.

My lips parted. I want to talk again, but I can't.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

I looked directly into his eyes. "You love me..." It wasn't a question, it was a statement.
