[R18] Ang Artista and The Ex

Chapter 9 - Part 2

Gavin's POV

"Ilang damit pa ba ang kailangan mo?"

"This is enough. I'll be quiting showbiz soon. I don't see the point why I should buy many clothes." Gulat na napatingin si Abigail sa akin.

"Ha? Aalis ka ng showbiz?" Tumango ako at ngumit. I think it's time for me to have a normal life. Nakakapagod na rin kasi minsan ang masyadong maraming nanonood sa'yo.

"But why?" Tanong niya sa akin.

"Because I have a priority. A family. Tatapusin ko lang itong new project then I'll start working as an engineer." Nag-lakad palayo si Abigail sa'kin habang nakasimangot.

"Teka! Bakit!" Sinundan ko siya habang tumatawa. Sinamaan niya lang ako ng tingin kaya nabasa ko ang nilalaman ng nasa isip niya. She is thinking na mas priority ko si Margaux kaysa sa kanya.

"Family? You're having a child with Margaux! Hindi mo manlang naisip na baka nabuntis mo rin ako noon, Gago ka!" Napatigil si Abigail sa sinabi niya at napatigil din ako. So tama ang hinala ko na nabuntis ko nga siya. And Gio is mine. Not Marcos. That bastard.

"Pakiulit?" Ngumisi ako. I never felt so happy before. Lalo na ng si Abigail ang nag-sabi sa akin at hindi ibang tao.

"You- you heard it wrong!" Sigaw niya.

"What did I hear wrong?" Ngumisi ako as I try to stop myself from smiling. I can't believe I am dad. It is my fault. If sana hindi ko iniwan si Abigail noon, we probably have our own family now. I could've watched my son grow.

"Nothing."

"You can tell me. Me and Margaux are getting annuled, just so you know." I stole a kiss from her cheek and walked away.

"Ano?! Why?! Ano ba pinag sa-sabi mo!" Sinigawan niya ako at hinabol.

"I married Margaux because we have to make Cinco jealous. So, get ready because once I sign the papers... You'll be mine. And by the way, remember when you proposed to me? Oo. I'll marry you." I casually walked away and went inside the car. I waited for Abigail who was just starring in space like I did the most shockig thing ever.

Abigail's POV

His marriage wasn't really real.

He said he'll marry me once he sign the papers.

Naguguluhan na ako lord!

"Is Genie... Your real son?" Tahimik sa buong sasakyan kaya siguro naisipan ni Gavin na mag sikula ng topic. Pero paano ko ba sasabihin sa kanya lahat? Lahat ng ngyari habang wala siya? Should I tell him about Gio?

"No. I adopted him." I bit my lip and looked away.

"I thought so. Eh si Gio?" I guess oras na talaga para sabihin ko sa kanya. I can't just hide him from my son. My son needs a dad. Ayokong maranasan niya ang naranasan ni Genie.

"Is he my son?" Lumaki ang aking mga mata sa sinabi niya. Paano niyang... Paano niyang nalaman na anak niya si Gio?! Tang'na, nadulas nga pala ako kanina.

"You didn't tell me." Lumamig ang bosea niya at yumuko nalang ako.

"You left me. That day... Nabuo si Gio. I chased you. Sinundan kita. I was always there during your fan meetings. Natakot lang ako na baka hindi mo na ako mahal when the news about you and Margaux came. So I decided to keep it from you."

"Unang kita ko palang kay Gio, I knew he is my son. Alam ko. Naramdaman ko. I'm sorry kung ilang beses na kitang iniwan. Maraming gustong manakit sayo noon that's why I didn't have a choice."

"Are we back together?" Tanong ko.

"No, we are together."

"Hindi naman naging tayo eh!" Napangiti ako. Nakakainis! Feeling teenager!

"Tinuring kitang girlfriend noon. I assumed we are together. I didn't regret a single thing." Bwiset! Nakakakilig!

"I don't have a ring now, wala rin akong magandang surprise sayo. But for now, I'm begging you to be the only man in your life. Well, except for Genie and Gio. Please?"
