Those Eyes

Chapter Nineteen

JEMA

"Jessica, We have to talk" Dad said

I continued walking until I reached the door of his study room

I crossed my arms over my chest

He went to his desk and leaned on it

"Aren't you going to say anything?" He raised his brows

"What are you talking about?" my brows furrowed

"Why did you cheat on my mom?!" I raised my voice

"Jessica, look...I did not cheat on your mommy, okay?How could I do that! I love your mom—"I cut him off

"How could you do that?!You cheated before,Of course you'll do it again"I repeated

"Your girlfriend really influenced you huh? Is that what she said? then break up with that woman. How could she brain wash you into thinkinh that I did all of that to your mom?" He shook his head

"What are you saying?" I was so confused

"Jennifer seduced me out of desperation, She probably wanted my money because she became poor after her husband left them" My dad shrugged

"H-how could you.... How could you lie like that?" I scoffed in disbelief

"You don't believe on your own dad, Jessica?I raised you for years. Because of that liar secretary your mom died. You should blame your girlfriend's family, not me" He seriously said

He couldn't be fucking serious with what he was saying

"P-please...P-please don't lie to me like this, please... I want to know your side, so please don't lie to me dad" I started crying

"Jessica, honey... i never lied to you. I am your dad, how could I lie to you?" He touched my shoulders.

"You harassed her, didn't you?" I looked at him

"i did not! She seduced me. Jessica anak, please listen to me" He tried to touch me again but I stepped backward

He was the one who's lying

Ella would never lie to me about that

"Y-You're... You're an abuser!" I yelled

Jessica—" I cut him off

"You abused your power! You cheated on my mom, you manipulative bastard!"Sambit ko.

"What did you call me?"He looked mad

"You fucking dis—"I was cut off when he slapped me

I fell on the floor

Kinuha niya yung golf club niya mula sa desk

"You fucking disrespectful child!" I cried when he hit me with his golf club

"Stupid fucker!" My eyes widened

I gasped when I saw dad on the floor

My eyes widened when I saw JV in front of me

Gripping my dad's collar like as if he's ready to kill him

"Don't fucking touch her! There's a child inside her tummy" singhal niya

I got up at inawat siya

"t-tara na, J-JV" sambit ko

I pulled him away

"Are you okay? how's our baby?" Sunod sunod na tanong niya

I sobbed and cried hard on his chest

"don't worry, Jessica I'm here... where are your things?" He asked

"C-condo" Sagot ko

"Kunin natin mga gamit mo and let's get out of this place hmm?" he replied and kissed my forehead

I told him na dito muna siya sa labas mag hintay

Pag pasok ko, Walang tao sa loob ng unit

I heaved a sigh before getting all my bags

I placed it on the floor of our walk-in closet and started to put all of my clothes inside

I cried again, Remembering how Ella and I used to fix our things together

After getting all of my stuffs, I closed my luggage and went to the bath room to get my essentials

I couldn't stop my tears from falling

We used to do some skin care together

Brush our teeth together

I shook my head and went outside

My eyes widened when I saw ella standing outside of our walk-in closet

She's looking at my luggage

Napa lunok ako bago ko siya nilagpasan

"Jema" Ella grabbed my arm lightly

Hindi ako nagsalita

Sinubukan kong bawiin ang braso ko, pero ayaw niya akong pakawalan

I glared at her, trying to stop my tears

"Let me go" mariing sabi ko

"Jema, please. Wag naman ganito" I can tell that she was about to cry

"Let me go"I repeated, Binawi ko na ang braso ko

And this time, she let go of it

I was about to get my luggage when she suddenly stood in front of me

She's trying to stop me from leaving

Gusto ko nang umalis, Pagod na pagod na ako

"Ella, please" I begged

My tears started to flow

"Wag ka namang umalis oh, Pag usapan naman natin. Pinag uusapan naman natin yung problema natin diba?Wag naman ganito" Ella started to cry in front of me

"Ella, please!" I shouted

"W-why can't you just...let me leave My voice broke

"Mahal kita eh... Mahal na mahal kita, Jema... Please, let's fix this, lovey" she sobbed

"I'm tired! I'm exhausted!"I pulled my hair with my hands

"Ako rin naman eh... Pagod din naman ako, Pero ikaw yung pahinga ko eh. T-tapos... Tapos iiwan mo rin ako? "She softly said

Hindi na ako nagsalita at tinalikuran lang si Ella

Sinubukan kong hatakin yung dalawang luggage papa labas pero hinawakan niya ulit ang braso ko

Mabilis ko iyong binawi sa kanya

"I-I'm sorry... I-I'm sorry, I-i'll do better. M-magtatrabaho ako nang maigi para kumita ng mas malaking pera, Ako na mag babayad ng bills wag mo lang akong iwan please" She cried

"E-ella I-I'm pregnant" sambit ko

Her eyes widened

"I-I'm pregnant w-with J-Jv, ella... Is that enough para pakawalan mo na ako?" My voice broke

"S-sige na, u-umalis ka na" Sambit niya

I nodded before pulling my luggages out
