Our Family's Secrets

Chapter 35: Sepanx

-Stephanie-

Since the moment we arrived, Sam asked nothing but her father. She started crying when she didn't find her father around. Hanggang ngayon, she's havihg tantrums. Akala ko pa naman nainitindihan niya na. *mental face palm* 

She is still crying snd demanding. Kaya naman, Kuya Leo and I decided to just call khun on face time para matigil ang anak niya.

So, binuksan ko na yung mac ko at nag simulang i face time si Khun.

"Hello." He greeted then smiled. I awkwardly smiled back then napa hawak sa temple ko.
"Why? Is something wrong?" He worriedly asked.

"No. Nothing. Except for.. err-- urgh pano ba." Napa busangot ako bigla. Why can't I say it?!

"Go on boo." My attention was shifted to him after calling me boo. Napa tingin tuloy ako sa kaniya. He smirked.
"We're not divorced. So basically, you're still my wife. It's just the distance."

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes.
"For now. Eh baka pag tumagal pa ako dito may iba ka nang asawa. Tsk." Napa laki naman ang mata niya bigla sa sinabi ko.

"I would never do that!" Napa taas ang boses niya so I raised an eyebrow on him.
"Look, Steph. The thing between me and Victoria years ago was just a mistake. Maybe--" i cut him off. I don't want to hear his explanations still. No, not now.

"Your daughter's longing for you. I don't know why pero hindi niya yata ako naiintindihan. I think she wants to talk to you." He nodded. Then I called Sam.
"Sam!" She quickly went to me then saw her Dad on the monitor. She started crying again.

"Daddy. Punta ikaw dito. Miss na ikaw ni Sam." Nichkhun was so serious. But I can see the pain in his eyes na ngayon ay nagiging watery na.

"Baby, listen to me okay?" Sam slowly nodded
"Daddy still have some works to do here. I'm still busy with work. That's why, you came with Mommy. Mommy needs to relax and think things." He explained.

"Then why here pa?" She asked. Agad namang napa kunot ang noo ko.

"Kasi baby, mommy wants to be away from someone bad. She thinks that it is better if you go there."

"Someone bad? Then why did you left us?"

"Baby,  nandyan naman si Tito Leo eh. Besides, Tito Leo left his works on Daddy. But don't worry baby, I'll visit you often." Sam's eyes widened. Nagtata talon siya at mukhang masaya na ulit.

"Really Daddy? You're gonna visit us?" Excited na tanong niya sa Tatay niya. Kita mo to. Wala pa nga kaming isang araw dito sa Canada tatay niya na agad ang iniisip. Hindi na ba ako mahal ng anak ko?

"Yes baby. But I have conditions."

"Eh? What is it?" Napa kunot ang noo ni Sam.

"First, I need you to be good. Wag pasaway ha? You are no longer a baby. You're an ate now. Second, please take good care of your Mommy and Baby Deon. He is your baby brother remember? Anak, wag pasaway ha. Wag pahihirapan si Mommy." He smiled.

"Yes daddy! I won't! Basta uwi ikaw ha." She said then even wiggled her eyebrows. Khun laughed.

"Yes po! I love you baby ko."

"I love you too Daddy ko!"

"Now, go give me an I love you kiss to baby Deon and Mommy ha." Sam again nodded then kissed me on the lips. 

"I love you mommy." I smiled. Kissed her back then started tickling her waist

"Mommy loves you more Sam."

Nichkhun smiled at me before ending the call. I wonder what he's doing now. Maybe he's getting some rest after a stressful day.

Hay. Nako. Should I say the whole story now?

Okay. Nichkhun and I started dating seven years ago. Mga trainees palang kami nun in our respective companies. We were able to hide our relationship in public because we were careful. Every time we date, we make sure na may kasama kami. Jessica and Tyrone to be exact.

Then, a rumor was spread and it states that the two of us are dating. We were still so young that time. So, we decided to deny it. Lay low. Our CEO's found a solution. CEO Lee asked if Khun can join 'We Got Married.' A reality show where they pair idols and get married.

I agreed. Because I thought that was the only way. He was paired with Victoria. Krystal's group mate. Victoria knew that we were dating. And she said that she wasn't attracted to Nichkhun.

Until the year 2015. Someone told me that Nichkhun is cheating. That he's also seeing Victoria. They even caught them kissing. I'm talking about dispatch anyway.

Kaya kinulit ako ng dispatch. They kept on asking me if we broke up. They kept on denying it. Until one day, they sent me a picture of Nichkhun and Victoria kissing. I wouldn't want to believe it at first. I wanted to see it with my own eyes. That's why I asked dispatch's help. One day, I followed Khun and Victoria. I confirmed it with my own two eyes!

I'm sure Khun saw me too. He was surprised! I ran away, went to Jeju pero nakita niya ako dun. He knew he was wrong. He said he was cheating. He was sorry pero wala na akong magagawa. I broke up with him.

I was on my way back to Manila when I received that letter. Hah. Reverse psychology. I don't know why he sent it either. I was on the plane to Manila...

I thought I could go home safe. But the plane crashed. I lost my memories. All of it. I woke up laying on the hospital bed. And everyone was there. My members, my parents, my cousin, Kuya Leo and Nichkhun. But I couldn't remember.

They didn't gave up. Until I remembered some. I remember my family. My career. Kaya bumalik ako sa singing. But I don't remember being in a relationship with Nichkhun. I only remember him.

I waited. Until I can fully remember. At hindi ako na fail. I remembered him being my boyfriend. But we broke up. I don't know the reason. Until last week.  

I remembered everything last week.

"Ang lalim ng iniisip mo ha." Nabalik ako sa reality when kuya leo sat beside me.

"Nothing. Just.." Napa sagpo nalang ako sa mukha. I don't know what I'm doing either.

"Nakakapagod mag alaga ng bata. Hindi na nga muna ako mag papakasal." Napa tingin ako at tumawa dahil sa sinabi niya. 

"Nag paparamdam na ba sayo si Ji Won? You ask her first. Baka kasi siya gusto niya na mag start ng family." He just shrugged. Yup. Ji Won and Leo Oppa are together. 1 year na din silang in a relationship.

"Mommy! I'm hungry po." Naka simangot na reklamo sa akin ni Sam. Nag ka tingingan tuloy kami ni Kuya. It has been 3 hours since we arrived pero wala pa kaming nakakain. Wow.

"Really hungry? Or can you wait?" I asked.

"I'm very very very hungry mom." Kuya Leo laughed.

"Okay then. We'll ask for delivery."

I feel sad for khun because he won't be able to watch his unica hija as she grow up. But I wish worse wont turn to worst. Hay.
