Forever Proud To Be Suplada [Proud To Be Suplada: Book 2]

Suplada 34

   
  Mag po probinsya daw kami sabi ni CJ. It was a little bit far, 7 hour drive. At 3 am nag stop muna kami para matulog.

    Gustuhin ko man pumikit at matulog na hindi ko magawa. I can't. Hindi ko alam kung masaya Pa ko or I'll feel dissapointed with the outcome of what I did.

    Naalala ko rin ang nangyari kanina. Takot na takot akong galawin ni Richard. That was wrong. Hindi ko na namamalayan na umiiyak na pala ako.

   I tried not to sound loud dahil baka maistorbo ko si CJ. This was the day I  had to be matured. Dahil hindi nalang Ako ang umaasa sa desisyon ko. May anak na ako at ayokong lumaki sya kay Richard.

    Dati akala ko, ok na... Akala ko pwede nang maging pamilya para Kay Brooke. I tried to be a good mother to her pero pinalabo ko lang ang nangyari.

    Naawa rin ako Kay Richard dahil I have never had a problem with him. Kahit kelan walang away na nagawa. Since 19 ako walang ibang pinakita sakin si Richard kundi maging responsableng asawa at tatay.

     Hindi ko alam kung nambabae ba sya dahil alam ko namang he have needs. He's a guy at Alam ko mahirap mag resist ng temptations. Pero hindi naman ako galit kung ginawa nya yun eh. I would actually pity him if he didn't.

      "You're crying..." sabi ni CJ.

"Kung naiisip mo pa yung ginawa ni Richard sayo, don't worry about it. That's the last time that asshole will ever touch you or Brooke."

      "Nangyari na eh. Pabayaan mo nalang muna yun. It'll eventually be hidden after days." Sabi ko.

    "Hindi lahat ng bagay kaya mong takasan, Ana. You face enemies not run away from them. That's so not like you."

     "I can't sue him. Obviously he's my husband. And my parents and company relies on our marriage."

    "So ano, you'd stay married to that jerk? Alam mo hindi ko alam kung galit ka ba talaga sa parents mo or what eh. You say you hate them but you still do what they tell you to do."

     "You told me, they only want what's best for me. And I believed you, am I wrong?"

      "Ana..." he sighed.

"Matulog ka na muna CJ. Magda drive ka pa." sabi ko at tumalikod. Ayokong binabanggit ang parents ko dito.

   I've actually made up with them ng slight. I stop fighting with them and try to have normal talks. Pero nangyari ito.

    Destiny has it's way in, doesn't it?

   It was 5 in the morning at nag stop over kami ulit to have breakfast. Brooke couldn't stop worrying about Richard. She keeps on asking me about it.

    Nag McDonalds kami dahil request nila yun. "Mommy, the guy looks very familiar." she whispered.

    Huh? "Baka iba yun. Eat your pancake na." sabi ko. "No, mommy... I remember him na!"

     "Mister..." she said to CJ. "Call him Tito, anak." sabi ko. "Tito! Don't you remember me? Ako yung nadapa noon na dinala mo sa clinic."

      He was a little silent at first pero he smiled after. "It was you." he said. Kanina Pa sya nakatingin kay Brooke. Probably because they have the same eyes. "Ikaw yung mahilig tumakbo sa school."

     "Hihihi, hello po." she smiled. "I'm Brooke."

    "I'm..." he said and looked at me. "CJ." and smiled. "Kuya CJ saan tayo pupunta?" tanong ni Leb. "You'll see. Maganda dun, may parks and beach."

    "Mommy did you bring my floaters?" sabi nya. "No anak, bibili nalang tayo, okay?"

   After we finished eating nag drive na ulit si CJ. We then entered a village called Santa Catalina.

     You'll see green everywhere.

"Mommy it's full of trees." sabi ni Brooke. "Yeah it is." I smiled.

   We arrived at the house. It was like a cottage. Malaki laki sya and was full of windows kaya presko.

    Merong tables and chairs sa labas na pwedeng kainan. May isang room sa baba at dalawa sa taas. "The kids can stay there, air-conditioned yang room na yan." turo nya sa unang room.

       We unpacked at lumabas ang mga bata para maglaro. Umupo lang ako sa labas at binantayan sila.

    Umupo sa harap ko si CJ at may dalang juice. "I love her already." he said. Saying that makes me feel soft.

      Ang cute nila tignan pag nag uusap. Pareho silang pabibo eh. "Thank you, CJ." sabi ko.

      "If this is about saving you from you psychotic husband. You don't have to dahil ang guard ang nag open nun."

     "Not that. I could get raped by him either way. Wala rin akong magagawa dahil asawa ko sya. Wala akong pakialam dun. What I wanted to thank for was getting us there. Nung lumalaki si Brooke at Mas lalo kitang naiisip, akala ko pag nalaman mo... Kukunin mo sya at ilalayo. Baka si sobrang galit mo ilayo mo sya saakin."

     "I'm not that kind of guy. Gusto ko rin namang may mommy ang anak ko." he said and drank they juice. Hindi ako Sanay na ganyang boses nya pero ok lang dahil I deserve it.

     "Pero I want something in return." Sabi nya. Kinabahan ako, what could that be?"

    "Makipag annul ka kay Richard." sabi nya. Nagulat ako dahil di pwede. "Get an annulment and..."

    "And?" I asked.

  "Marry Me."
