Kayleigh's POV
"Kung kinakailangang malaman ng buong mundo ang kondisyon na meron ka gagawin ko, Callen. Bigyan mo lang ng kumpletong pamilya ang apo ko."
Unexpectedly, Dad's words took me by surprise, especially as he mentioned a wedding. Callen shot me a glance, that familiar puppy-eyed look of hers, silently pleading for help—a sight I had dearly missed. Parang bata na napagalitan dahil may nabasag siyang mamahaling furniture pero totoo naman na pinapagalitan siya ni Dad.
"Dad, I don't think marriage can fix something I have broken." Kanina ko pa sinasalungat si Dad dahil muntik na rin niya masabi kay Callen na hindi naman Mom niya ang namatay kung hindi ang Tita niya talaga.
A few days back, I gathered the courage to share with Dad and Mom the news of my pregnancy, along with Callen's situation at pati na rin yung naging kasalanan ko kay Callen kaya hindi niya matanggap sa sarili niyang magkaka-anak na kaming dalawa.
Callen let out a deep sigh, "Hindi rin po sapat na matawag kaming mag-asawa na at kalimutan na lang yung ginawa sa akin nila ng ex-fiancé niya."
She can't even call me by my name.
"I know how questionable Kayleigh's decision was before, pero hindi mo ba naisip Callen na kahit tinulungan nilang dalawa kayo ng mom mo nung araw na yun mabubuhay pa rin siya?"
Nung sinabi ko na lahat sa kanila yung totoo pati yung katotohanan na hindi naman talaga si Mrs. Salvatore yung namatay nakiusap ako kay Dad na sana di siya madulas at masabi pa niyang Tita talaga ni Callen yung nabangga namin dati.
I looked at Callen and she was a taken aback from my Dad's question, "Mr. Avengoza, tinulungan man nila ako o hindi, anak nyo pa rin ang naging dahilan bakit hindi namin agad natunton si Travis noon."
They were also aware that I had asked Travis before to get rid off the evidence—the car we used that time when that fateful event happened. Yun ang bagay na alam kong kinasusuklam sa akin ni Callen bukod sa naging desisyon ko dati.
If there's only a chance na pwede akong mabalik sa time na yun hindi sana nagkalamat ang relasyon namin ngayon ni Callen at nabago ang desisyon ko.
"I don't personally know about your Mom, Callen, but do you think she'll be proud if you won't take the responsibility after impregnating my daughter?"
"Don't disrespect my surname and family, Callen, alam kong anak ka ng Mayor pero di yun sapat na dahilan para hindi kita mapagsabihan at pagalitan."
"You dragged my daughter into this mess—"

RomanceI am being risky today, nilapat ko ang dalawang kamay ko sa table niya at tanging laptop lang ang harang sa aming dalawa. She looks up at me and directly shot me a cold stare, "What are you doing? Not only you disrespected me but now you're invading...
