Serenity's Curse to Chaos (KN - Castillo Series #3)

The Final Curse

Love is seeing what a mess he is and loving him anyway, because you know you're a mess too, maybe even worse.

I stare at her beauty while the moonlight is shining right on her face. She's looking at me with her doe eyes all puffed because of all the crying that she did earlier. Its already very late in the evening and we just finished eating dinner. We're currently at a park, both of us are seated across each other on the ground. 

Psyche's already with Cas. The little girl's exhausted that's why we asked my twin if he can fetch her and put her to sleep. Ayaw pa sana ni Ren, parati parin niyang iniisip na magiging abala yun kay Cas. But she's left with no choice, there's so many things that she wants to ask me now.

And now here we are.

"Aren't you gonna ask me questions?" She immediately looked at me.

Kanina pa talaga siya mukhang lutang. She's not focused and easily gets distracted that's why I always have to snap her back into reality. Her tired eyes focused on me and gave me a small smile.

"Anong pinagusapan niyo ni daddy? When did you guys became so close?" punong-puno ng pagtataka ang mukha niya habang nagtatanong. 

I gave her a small smile. It was kinda funny though, I can still remember the very first time Atty. Victor Sah, father of my Serenity Janine Sah approached me while I was very busy at work.

Marami kaming ginagawa sa gaming corp now that a lot of big companies are asking us to develop more video games. They kinda liked our first launched game that's why the rest of our developments are on hype.

Kakatapos ko lang tumawag kay Seren to check if everything's good with her at home. I always think of her situation whether I'm in school or at work. She always crosses my mind, hindi ko mapigilang mag-alala. That's why I had Mom, Amber, and Cas to check on her whenever I'm not around. I know its very hard for her, being pregnant is very hard and challenging. Kahit nga ako na nakakasama lang niya sa bahay would be so stressed if she's being moody or emotional.

I clearly remember her crying face yesterday after we got home from their family's house. She told me na kinausap siya ng daddy niya, that he asked her how she's doing and such, and it hurt her. Siguro kasi tingin niya, its not appropriate for her dad to ask her those questions as if everything that is going on between them is perfectly fine. 

Mahirap mang intindihin ang pinanggagalingan ni Ren but I completely understood her. She's a wounded child, all the blame about her mom's death was at her. Mahirap para sakanya kasi ang tatay niya na dapat ay iniintindi at binibigyan siya ng pagmamahal ay wala sa tabi niya habang nararanasan niya ang sakit. Atty. Sah was never there to defend her.

"Julian! Call Zeke, I need him here!" I shouted from my office. The door is widely opened that's why my secretary can immediately hear me from here.

"Yes sir!" 

I removed my eyeglasses for a while and massaged my forehead. I've been experiencing headaches lately. Maybe because I've so stressed, pagsabayin ba naman ang pag-aaral at ang pagpapatakbo ng sariling kumpanya. If its not because of Seren, I would definitely drop out of school already. But because she's been insisting for me to go to school and study college, I was left with no choice.
