One Night

Chapter 20

Barcelona

He's waiting for my answer.

"I-I'm sorry Alejandro" I started then tears run down my cheeks

I open my mouth and wanted to speak but no words come out. I cleared my throat

"W-we can't--"

I saw him lower his face "I want to be selfish now! I-I can't leave you too. I don't want to start a new life without you. I don't want our twins to grow up without a dad." I said and slightly chuckled when I see his eyes glow when I finished my sentence.

"Oh my God!" He said and pulled in a tight embrace like he don't want to let go.. Ever.

"I love you, I love you" Sinasabi niya ng paulit ulit while raining my face with kisses

I smiled and wipe the tears from my cheeks and his

Hinawakan ko ng dalawang kamay ang magkabilang pisngi niya at tinignan diretso sa mata and then

"I love you too Alejandro" I said and smile widely at him

I saw in his face the contenment, happiness and love. Finally he smiled

"I promise to never leave you or make you cry again intentionally" then he hugged me again

I snuck in his neck and shake my head "This is not your fault. It's no one's fault, please don't say that. Wala naman nageexpect na mangyayari sa atin ito diba?"

"we'll get this over I promise, I brought this problem I'm going to solve it. Okay? Stay with me, trust me. I love you Barcelona" he said and kissed my forehead, nose and my lips lingering longer than the others.

He broke the kiss and lower his body to face my bulging stomach. "hey babies, I know you're all stressed out because of what happening outside your shell. Please when mom is crying don't kill me if you get to see me already." I chuckled when he finished talking to them. He touched and caressing my tummy.

When I think they knew that it's their father talking they moved "ow" I said I felt a pinch of hurt when one of them kicked.

Nakita ko yung mukha ni Alejandro ng maramdaman niya na gumalaw at sumipa sila. "you feel that love? They moved under my hand" he excitedly said

"you felt it?" sabi niya at nilapit naman niya yung tenga niya at tinapat niya sa tyan ko

"syempre, naramdaman ko. Medyo masakit kasi medyo malakas yung pagkasipa niya" I said while lacing my fingers through his hair "I think they're talking to me" natawa naman ako at napa-kibit balikat

Hindi naman kami masyadong nagusap. We're in own comforting silence, yung ulo niya na tapat lang ng tyan ko at hinihimas.

"come on let's go eat." sabi niya at tumayo na siya. Inilahad niya yung kamay niya para tulungan akong tumayo.

Yung issue sa pagitan namin na-solved na we only have one issue to talk about and it's about Andy and her child. Ayaw ko pa pagusapan yun. Siguro bukas na lang.

Dumiretso na kami sa kusina at kumain.

"kelan ulit yung check-up mo love?" tanong niya habang naglilipit ng pinagkainan namin.

"next two days pa. saktong 7 months ng twins" sabi ko

Tumango naman siya at hindi na nagsalita hanggang sa matapos niya yung ginagawa niya.

Hindi ko gusto itong nararamdaman ko. Parang pakiramdam ko merong nakaharang sa amin, parang may pumipigil, hindi ko lang alam kung ano yun. Ayoko man isipin na dahil kay Andy yun. Call me a masochist, ngayon pa ba ako susuko ngayong nalaman ko na mahal din ako ni Alejandro?
