Secret Seduction | [R-18]

Chapter Thirty Two

"Bakit naman hindi mo sinabi?" tanong ni coach habang nakasandal ako sakanya. I was still sniffing because of how hard I cried when I told her about my pregnancy.

"I didn't want to disappoint you." sabi ko at humihikbi pa rin. I didn't want to tell anyone because I didn't even want to keep it at first. Now that I heard and saw my baby, I'm sure I'll keep it. Kailangan na niyang malaman ngayon.

"Why would you think that?"

"Aren't you?" tumingin ako sa taas para makita ang mukha niya. I saw how her eyes formed a smile, the same with her lips.

"Nag-aalala ako, Drey. Being disappointed in you is the last thing I'd do. Gusto man kitang pagalitan, hindi ko na magagawa. Alam ko naman na yun na ang ginagawa mo sa sarili mo simula una palang." I sobbed more, hearing her analysis of me.

I did take it out on me. I was hard on myself to the extent of wanting to abandon my own blood. I'm not Natalie.

"May gender reveal party kami bukas, pupunta ka ba?" hinihingal ko na tanong. Nilambig ko siya ng konti dahil malaki yung pasasalamat ko sakanya.

"Like you can stop me." she chuckled. "Stop crying, we should talk." she gave me a napkin to wipe my tears again.

"Who's the father of the child?" tanong niya at humarap saakin, wala ang ngiti. Huminga ako nang malalim bago sumagot,

"Si... Before I tell you, you should know that I'm dating Louie." I tried to lighten up the mood. She needs all the explanation I can give to her.

"Oh, the church guy? Siya ba?" nakita ko kung gaano siya natuwa na si Louie ang boyfriend ko. I gave a smile as I felt guilty before shaking my head. I saw her look down and sigh,

"Louie's nice, coach. I know you're old fashioned but I can't break up with him." I said, and meant it. I like Louie and if he says he can be in a relationship with me, even outside the country, I'll do it. He helped me overcome a lot of things, this is my turn to be nice to him.

Tumango siya nang dahan dahan, "Sino ba?"

"Justin!" sigaw ni Cha nang makita siya sa labas ng bahay. He was early today. I smiled at him, avoiding eye contact since I know he still has feelings for me. It was the same with me. I will always be connected to him, even if it wasn't romantically. Our child will forever bind us together, just not in the way he wants.

"I like it." maikli niyang sabi nang tignan yung lugar. The girls decorated our driveway. Nagising nalang ako na maayos na ang lahat.

"Troy?" napatingin ako sa gawi ni Sierra na papalapit sa gate. Nagtinginan kami ni Justin pero nauna siyang lumayo ang tingin.

"I just wanted to drop this." sabi niya at nag abot ng paper bag kay Sierra. He smiled and waved at me, as I did the same. Paalis na siya nang biglang dumating si coach,

"Oh, anak, kamusta ka?" tanong ni coach kay Troy. Nagkakilala na sila dati dahil madalas saamin gumagawa ng projects.

"Good morning po." sabi ni Troy at nagmano kay coach.

"Oh, tara na sa loob." coach insisted and dragged Troy inside while her hand was at his back. I took off my awkward face and kissed her on the cheek.

"Si Louie?" tanong ni coach.

"Papunta na." I lied. We haven't talked since yesterday since I got baffled with my thoughts. Hindi ko sigurado kung pupunta pa siya dito, o hindi.
