Waiting for the Dawn (Fontana brothers series 1) [Unedited]

Chapter 29

Nakauwi na kami. I'm holding my baby in my arms. Hindi ko hinayaang kunin nila sa akin ang anak ko. Kahit si Cleo ay pilit niya rin itong kinukuha pero hindi ako pumayag.

Kaagad akong tumakbo patungo sa kuwarto ni mama. Nanginginig man ang aking katawan dahil sa gutom ay hindi ako nagpatinag. They will take my baby away from me.

"Dawn, open this fucking door," loud knocks coming from the door caught my attention. I stopped caressing my babys face. I slid myself under the bed while Alui is in my hands.

Napahikbi ako habang marahang hinahawakan ang aking anak. Panay halik ako sa kaniyang noo at pinipigilan ang aking mga hikbi. Kukunin niya sa akin ang anak ko.

A loud bang coming from the direction of the door made my body tremble. Sinira niya ang pinto! The door flew to the other side of the room. He's fuming mad. Alam ko 'yon... ramdam ko.

Napakabigat ng kaniyang bawat hakbang habang papalapit siya sa kama. His polished black shoes stopped in front of me.

Yumukod ito at sinalubong ang aking mga tingin. Kaagad akong umiwas at umurong. Kagat labi akong umiling nang subukan niyang abutin ang sanggol na nasa aking braso.

Napatili na lamang ako nang may humila sa akin palabas. Sapilitan nitong kinuha sa akin ang aking anak. Nabitawan ko si Alui dahil sa panghihinang nararamdaman ko.

It's Eros! The middle child of the Fontana's. Kinuha niya sa akin ang anak ko... Hindi ko siya mapapatawad kapag hindi niya binalik sa akin si Alui.

"Ibalik mo siya sa'kin," galit kong sigaw at nagpumiglas mula sa pagkakahawak sa akin ni Cleo. Patuloy akong nagpumiglas hanggang sa may naramdaman akong bumaon sa aking braso. It's a syringe.

After a few seconds, my eyelids starts to close.  I tried to reach out for my son as my eyes began to water. I took a glimpse to my little angel before falling on someone's arms.

"Please... don't take him away from me!" I screamed on the top of my lungs as I sat on the bed in shock. My tears began to fall while my eyes began so wander inside this room... our bedroom.

"They took my son away from me," I uttered in a whisper.

"My husband and his brother... kinuha nila sa'kin ang anak ko." Hindi ko na alam kung anong emosyon ang dapat kong marandaman. Gusto kong sumigaw ngunit wala na'ng boses na lumalabas sa aking bibig.

May kaluskos akong narinig na umagaw sa aking atensiyon. I saw him sitting on his grey wingback leather chair in his mini office on our room.

His piercing blue eyes checked me from head to toe before leaving his seat. He approached and sat on the edge of the bed, still not breaking our eye contact.

I want to pull him and snuggle in his arms. I want to tell him everything but my mouth just won't. I don't want to remember those days and night. My eyes shows everything that I try to hide. Pain, regret, and rage.

Tinitigan niya ako nang ilang minuto bago lumabas. He left me... again.

After a few minutes, the door opened. He's standing in the doorway while holding a tray of food.

Lumapit siya sa akin at naupo sa kama. He grab a spoonful of soup before leading it to my mouth. I just stare at the spoon before laying on the bed. My back was facing him.

I heard him sigh before leaving the bed. Nilagay yata 'yong pagkain sa breakfast table dito sa kwarto.

"Do you want to see him?" Nabuhayan ako ng loob nang sabihin niya 'yon. Him. I know that he's referring to our son.
