He Dared To Love

Chapter 31 ✔

Rian's POV

"Mommy! I want that big bear!" Rain keeps on saying those while shaking my hand.

At dahil isinigaw na niya, narinig na nila Dad at Aiden. They were talking about business. Marami nang binili si Dad para kay Rain at nakakahiya na.

They both looked at us and searched for Rain's expression.

Aiden knelt in front of us and smiled at his son. "Just tell me what you want son."

Rain smiled but he pouted as he turns to look at me. "No daddy. Okay na ako po." And he bowed down, looking at his shoes.

Aiden stood up and held my arm. "What's the problem? He seems scared to tell me something." He whispered as he drags me away.

I sighed and pulled my arm. "Aiden, hindi naman pwedeng spoiled nalang siya sa inyo. He's got a lot of toys and things. It's enough."

I can see dad walking towards Rain.

"There's nothing wrong in having almost everything Aloha."

I looked away. Seems like we're going to have a vocal fight here.

"Of course it's no wrong to you. You're a savage rich man."

"I'm not savage."

"Oh you're not?" I asked, sarcastically. "Banging girls anytime you wanted, you're not?"

He scratched his nape. "Now it's about me." He exhaled. "Look Aloha, if dad and I will give everything he wanted, that's expected. Why? Because we simply want to pay for the moments we've missed. We want him to experience what we experienced in our early ages."

"By spoiling him that much?"

"Nothing's too much!" He almost shouted.

"Don't dare shout at me." I snapped. "You know nothing about your son. You weren't beside him for how many year-"

"You didn't let me near him or even know there's him."

"Paano ko sasabihin Aiden kung bigla ka nalang nawala?"

He ran his hand over his stubble. "Please Aloha. I'm sick and tired of being slapped with the truth that I'm this idiot. Maayos na tayo. With one mistake that I said we're going back to the bottom."

"You can't keep the thoughts away from me that you left me without no words."

"Please let's get over it."

"What if let's just get over this relationship?" I asked back that made him stun. "Right? Mas okay kung ganon. Don't you think?" And I walked away, ignoring the stares of dad with Rain talking beside him.

Wag na wag niyang pakikialaman ang pagpapalaki ko kay Rain. I'm still the mother. He is just the father.

TAM's POV

"Hey son, what was that?" Dad asked after seeing Aloha walk away, being followed by some bodyguards.

I shook my head and looked at them. "I don't know dad. She's angry with the things that always makes her angry."

"And what are those?"

"It was about me, leaving her. And me, being a womanizer."

I again looked at the direction she walked through. I'm not worrying about anything since our men were following her except for our conversation earlier. That worries me.

"A serial womanizer, son, don't forget." He corrected but it didn't make things easier.

It just pissed me off, honestly.

"Daddy? Saan po punta po si Mommy?" Rain asked while pulling my sleeve.

I carried him and kissed his forehead. "Mommy will buy foods baby. Where do you want to go next? It's still early."

He shook his head. "I want that toy daddy o. But mommy galit. Kaya wag na lang."

"No boy. It's okay. Ako ang kakausap kay Mommy." Dad interrupted.

"Talaga po papa po?"

Dad gave him an assuring smile. "Yes. So get down from your dad and let's walk in to that toy store."

Rain struggled to get down so I let him go with dad while I'm at their back like one of the bodyguards.

"You know son..." Dad started while following Rain. "You should flirt with your woman more."

"What?"

Good thing mom's not here. She'll probably gonna pinch dad's skin.

"Oh. I mean,you should court your woman more."

"Why dad? Are my actions still not enough? I never had other woman after our wedding. And it's a big change in me." I rolled my eyes.

"Don't you roll your eyes. You're like a gay."

He commented on my action. Yeah that's great.

"It was ZEM who does that more often."

"You idolize him now?" He mocked.

"I idolize him more than Yu-Rhi. That guy was always an ass."

"Like you." He whispered but I heard it. "How about your dad?"

"Oh. He's the dumbest among us boys in the family."

"Do you wanna die right now, son?"

I quickly snaked my arm around his shoulder. "You know that I love to kid around dad. I love you."

"Your genuinely fake, TAM. Congratulations son."

I groaned and pulled my arm away. "Come on dad. Stop teasing me."

He faked a cough and held Rain's hand. "You see. she haven't really moved on yet from what you've done wrong to her. It's still fresh even though it was years ago." He seriously said. "Why don't you wipe those memories away and replace it with good ones?"

"I'm trying my best dad."

"And your best wasn't still good enough to have her whole heart." He faced me. "It was very easy for her to say the words she said before leaving. Make her realize that the problem is the one that should be done... not the relationship. You're married. But I think she forgot that."

"What am I gonna do dad? I married her, I'm being faithful to her, and I'm being a good father to Rain."

"It's simple. Be a better man. Make her forget the pain you've caused her." And he started to walk.

I walked faster to catch up. "How am I going to do that dad?"

He sighed and looked at me. "Is it my wife who's having a tantrum? Ako ba ha? Asawa ko ba anak? Sagutin mo nga."

-_-

I never liked dad, speaking Tagalog. At least in English it's not that obvious that he's being sarcastic and a tease.

Damn... just because of a toy that dad's paying right now for Rain built the fire tension between us.

What should I do? It's always a bad idea to talk to my twins and dad.
