The Badboy's Beloved

Chapter 13: Home

Thea's POV

Home. Hindi ko inaakalang ang isa sa dahilan ng pag alis ko sa Piliponas ay siyaring magpapabalik sa akin.

Ilang beses akong binibilinan ni Manang Lucy na bumalik at makipag ayos sa ama ko. Pero wala akong makuhang lakas ng loob para gawin iyon.

Because I feel like I have no rights to go back anymore. The disappointment I gave to my parents. The pain i inflicted to them.

Hurting them is my biggest regret. But having my son will never be my mistake. I suffered many miseries. But never once did I blamed Andrew, instead he became my source of strength. To go on and continue with the life I had as a consequence, of betraying my parents' trust.

Mahirap. Masakit. At malungkot isiping hindi mo man lang makausap ang mga magulang mo.

Dahil kahit anong mangyari babalik at babalik ka pa rin sa bisig nila, ang tahanang ating nakagisnan.

"Thea." Lumingon ako sa pinanggalingan ng boses ni Sandro.

Sandro. Ang taong akala ko hindi ko na makikita. Na akala ko sa parte na lang siya ng nakaraan ko. Pero heto siya, ang dahilan kung bakit babalik ako sa lugar na kailanman ay hindi ko nilimot.

"The plane's ready. We have to leave." Dugtong niya. Napatingin ako kay Andrew na karga karga niya. Tatanggapin ba nila siya? Hayy.

Kinakabahan ako. The pilot announced we will be landing in NAIA within 12 minutes. Naglililikot na si Andrew sa tabi ng bintana.

I noticed Sandro's stare kaya napalingon ako sa kanya, "You're sweating bullets." Saad niya.

Doon ko lang din napansin na namamawis na ako. Pupunasan ko na sana ng nauna niyang pinunasan ang noo ko.

I stiffened a bit, but I did not let him notice it. Honestly, I feel kind of uncomfortable with his touch. Patuloy lang siya sa pagpupunas when Andrew broke our little bubble.

"Mama! Mama! Mama! Look!" Napatingin ako sa itinuturo ni Andrew, ang airport. Andito na talaga kami.

Paano na? Saan kami titira? Everything was unplanned. I didn't even had a choice. Ayokong tumira sa kung saan man kami ilagay ni Sandro.

"Hey, don't worry too much. Everything will be fine." Sandro said. 

Tumingin ako sa kanya. "I'll be the one to decide where we will stay." Agad kumunot ang noo niya.

"There's already a place for you. No need to look for another." Saad niya. "Also, you need not to worry about anything. Leave it all to me."

"Sumang-ayon ako sa kagustuhan mong ipakilala si Andrew sa pamilya mo pero hindi ang pagdesisyonan kung saan at kung ano ang gagawin namin dito." Madiin kong sabi.

There is no way I'll let him handle everything that concerns about Andrew or me. I can stamd on my own now, with or without his help, my son and I can survive in this situation.

Bumuntong hininga siya na parang nauubusan na ng pasensya, "Look, Thea. I'm the one who brought you here, so it's just right that I'm the one in charge of your welfare. I told you, you have nothing to worry about."

"What for? If you want Andrew to live with you, fine! I will allow you but you should never forbid me to do things I see fit for my son and I." The way he said in charge seems to be a dangerous sign to me.

"I see it fit that you and our son should stay with me, Althea. There is no way I will let you alone knowing I have everything that can comfort you. So you will stay with me. And that's final." If eyes could send fire, I must be burning by now.

I knew he'll never surrender. I opened my mouth to complain yet again, but he cut me off.

"No more arguments." He said then looked in beside me, napatingin din ako at nakita kong nakatingin si Andrew sa aming dalawa.

"Are you two fighting?" Amdrew asked. Nakakahiya! Nakita niya kaming halos magbangayan na.

"No, anak! Your dad and I are just talking about something." I explained. I noticed Sandro beamed after what I said.

"About the place where we should be staying?" Andrew asked again. I mentally facepalmed. Naitindihan niya.

"I want to stay with daddy, mama."

Kagustuhan ng anak ko ang kasiyahan ko.

I roamed my eyes in Sandro's 3-storey mansion. Yes, mansion. After the plane landed it took us half an hour bago nakarating dito. I  saw the cream colored double gate with Del Fierro, doon ko napagtantong kay Sandro siguro, he confirmed it anyways.

Pagkapasok, 3 minute drive pa bago talagang nakarating sa bahay niya. Nalula ako dahil may malaking fountain sa harap, may malawak na hardin sa magkabilang bahagi ng tuwid na daanan, marami ring mga puno.

Sa mansion niya, cream colored din, may terasa sa second floor, sa tingin ko ay kwarto ang mga may balkonahe, nasabi din ni Sandro na may pool si likod ng bahay niya.

Wow. Just wow.

You wouldn't think this is a man's house because the exterior looks somehow feminine, but the interior, you could tell it was owned by a man basing on the masculine paintings, color of the furnitures and designs.

"Wow! Mama! Look at the fountain! So big!" Masayang sabi ni Andrew habang tumatakbo.

"You like it?" Biglang tanong ni Sandro na nasa tabi ko na pala.

"It's so beautiful." I don't want to assume, but this mansion somehow resemble my dream house, but he doesn't know any of it because never did it entered my thoughts that he'll be interested about it.

"I've invested millions for this, but it's all worth it." Hinabol niya si Andrew at binuhat. Medyo naasiwa ako igaya niya ako papunta sa terrace.

"You hungry, buddy?" Sandro ruffled Andrew's hair, sumimangot ang huli dahil sa ginawa niya.

"Daddy, I'm not a dog!" Asik ng anak ko at sinabunotan si Sandro. He retaliated by tickling Andrew, his giggles rained in my ears, which made me smile.

Sandro looked at me, "I ordered the head maid to prepare us food 'cause I'm guessing the three of us are famished." Sabi niya at iginiya kami.

Third Person's POV

"Sir Sandro had arrived in his house with Miss Althea and their son." A man in black said while laying the pictures in the mahogany table.

He then looked at his employer, whose eyes were fixed on a certain picture.

"Sabi po ng inilagay ko kasama si Sir Sandro, tutol si Miss Althea sa pagbabalik dito sa Pilipinas."

The man in front of him, sighed and leaned his back on his swivel chair, gently scratching his eyebrow.

"She's still not aware of her parents' current situation?"

He shook his head, "Not yet sir."

The man massaged his temples and sighed again.

"Release a news about her father's further deteriorating health, make sure she will now be aware of it. It's time for Alessandro to face his greatest fear."
