He Dared To Love

Chapter 9 ✔

Rian's POV

"Then I assume it's only me who had a sexy moments with you... and made you pregnant."

I immediately shook my head. "No. It's not you!"

"And who's the father? I bet he doesn't looks like your child."

"At pano mo naman nasabi 'yan?" I said while glaring.

Hindi talaga niya pwedeng malaman! Ayoko! Maging single parent nalang ako habang buhay kaysa magkaroon ng babaero sa buhay ko.

"He looks like me, as I said." He moved closer to me and held my waist. "Malakas ang dugo ko. Sharp shooter." He winked.

I pushed him but he didn't move so I held my hand up on his chest. "Please. Hindi mo siya anak. Leave me alone."

"I want an assurance. I'm not yet a businessman man but business is in my blood." He huskily said while looking into my eyes.

I hissed. "Why does it bothers you so much? Hindi mo nga anak di ba! I have my live-in partner."

Oh lying...

"And?"

"And of course he's the father!"

"Then he doesn't look like your child. He obviously looks like me. From the color of his eyes down to his lips."

I looked away thinking for another lie.

"Ahm... siguro nga kamukha mo siya dahil galit na galit ako sa'yo noong nagbubuntis ako."

He raised a brow. "Why are you angry that time?"

I sighed. "This is nonsense, Aiden. Of course galit ako dahil iniwan mo nalang ako without any word."

"Then I can say that you never really moved on that time, but you're pregnant with other man's baby. Should I start thinking that you were in a bed with a man, but you still love me?"

I gritted my teeth behind my lips. "Are you saying that I'm a flirt?"

"Did my words make you feel like one?"

I raised my hand to slap him but he caught it and smacked a kiss on my lips.

"You slapped me once. And I won't let it happen again."

"Goddamn you! Bakit ka na naman nanghalik, gago ka?!" I shouted at him and tried to pull my hand.

"Come on. We did many things beyond that kiss."

"Peste manahimik ka. Kailangan ipaalala?!"

He let go of my hand but I gasped when he pressed his body against mine while holding me waist. "Do you want me to remind more of our sexy moments?"

I glared at him. "Get fucked, you jerk."

"I don't like your words. You never talked to anyone that way before." He seriously said.

"I don't care if you care! Get off me. I have my job!" I struggled but he held me tighter.

"Answer my question once more." He said and paused. "Do we have a baby?"

He seems very serious and it made me gulped. Aiden is always jolly and playful but once he's serious, he's serious.

"We don't have a baby." I firmly said.

He devilishly smiled. "Then I'll find a way to test our blood." He seriously said and turned his back.

My heart started to beat fast.  No... hindi pwede. I don't want him in Rain's life.

I grabbed his arm and went infront of him. "Hindi mo pwedeng gawin 'yon, Aiden! Why are you even bothering me?!" And my tears suddenly fell.

"I'm bothered and I'm bothering you 'cause I have this feeling that he's mine!" He shouted back.

"O sige. Sabihin na nating anak mo! Eh hindi ba dapat sobrang lungkot mo?! Dahil may anak ka na. May anak ang isang babaero na katulad mo!" I shouted and sobbed.

"I may be a bad guy, Aloha, but I'm not a bad father!"

I was stoned when I heard it straight from his mouth. Oo nga naman. Pwedeng iba si Aiden bilang boyfriend, at pwedeng iba siya bilang ama.

"You used to hurt women and lay them on your bed, naked. And why-"

"Can't you get it Aloha?" He cut me off. "There's a feeling inside of me like I'm not satisfied with what I'm doing. And I just don't know why. But when I saw his face, I felt real happiness."

I shook my head. "It's hard to believe that it's your happiness to have a child."

"You don't unde-"

"You're a casanova for God's sake, Aiden!" I snapped as tears fell. "Can't you get the point?! Ayoko na masaktan ang anak ko! Alam ko na magkakaroon ka pa ng pamilya o baka maraming anak sa iba't ibang babae at ayokong masaktan ang anak ko dahil doon! I want a whole and real father to him! And it'll never gonna be you."

He was silent for seconds. Maybe he's digesting my words. I know what I'm saying. I'm just a mother.

"So he's my child." He said, not a question... but a statement.

I nodded. "Oo. Oo anak mo siya. There's no sense of lying dahil alam kong hindi ka titigil at malalaman mo din. Ngayon alam mo na. Ano'ng gagawin mo?"

"I wanna be his father." He almost whispered.

"But we both know that it can be temporary. I know maghahanap ka pa ng ibang babae, Aiden. I don't want him to grow with a broken family. So I guess it's better if he has a single parent. Or maybe I can find a true man who will love us both. I know it's not you. I know Aiden." I said while tears are falling.

Paano kung mapalapit ang anak ko sa kanya at magkaanak siya sa ibang babae at hindi na niya mapansin si Rain? It'll be very painful for my son.

He didn't say anything and remained silent.

"Ayokong may kahati ang anak ko. He's very beautiful and I want to give him the best of all bests. And it'll never gonna happen with you in our lives." I added. "I'm sorry Aiden. Just forget about us. Be a good father. Be a good father by letting him live without you."

His eyes softened. "Don't be like this, Aloha. I wanna be a father to him."

"Layuan mo ako o ang anak ko, Aiden. Wala kang mapapala." I bitterly said.

"I'm still his father."

"And I'm the mother." I bravely answered. "You're free to have every woman you want. You don't have a baby. Just stick to those words." And I started to walk away from him, leaving him speechless.

"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you ran after me when you knew that you're pregnant?"

I didn't look back but I answered him. "Because I know it won't change you from being a player. Alam kong hindi anak ang makakabago sa katulad mo. I know that all you have to do with it is to do your obligations. Not love."
