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

Suplada 35

      W-what?"

  "I said makipag annul ka kay Richard and marry me." he clearly said. "CJ..." I sighed. "You know hindi pwede."

   
    "Bakit? Hindi mo ba talaga ako mahal? After everything, you want to stay!?" tumaas ang boses nya.

    "That's not what I mean, CJ." sabi ko. "I don't love him at kung hindi lang maghihirap ang mga magulang ko, I wouldn't marry him in the first place."  taas ang kilay kong sinabi.

  
       He just looked down. "You know what, Ana? Akala ko kilala na kita. I thought you were just a heartless person with beauty that I loved. Akala ko nagmahal ako ng taong Walang ginawa kundi magalit sa mundo." he paused.

     Where is this pointing to? Pinapamukha nya talagang wala akong puso, ganon? Doesn't he understand?

     "But I was wrong." he looked at me with his lips tight together. "You care for your parents. Mahal mo ang mga magulang mo, pero hindi mo tanggap na napatawad mo sila. You're soft inside, Ana. I should understand what you're family's going through pero hindi pwede ito."

      Nagulat ako. I didn't expect he'd say that. No, hindi totoo yun. I am angry at Hindi ko sila gusto makasama. Pero I felt like it was true. Bakit mas kilala nya pa ako kesa sa sarili ko?

       "Kung hindi mo kayang sabihin, I will. Hindi ako makikihati kay Richard, Ana. Not Brooke nor you." matigas nyang sabi. "You are mine, mine only!"

        Sabi nya at pumunta sa loob. "Mommy laro tayo." sabi ni Brooke. "Ikaw rin tito."

      Napatigil sya. "You want to play, Brooke? Tayo nalang ang mag laro. Don't bother Tito." sabi ko.

        "Pero he should play." pilit nya. Magsasalita palang sya pero binuhat sya ni CJ at nilagay Sya sa balikat nya. Napasigaw si Brooke sa saya. "Mommy I'm flying!" sigaw nya sa tuwa.

       Walang kahit anong halaga ng pera ang ipagpapalit ko sa saya ko ngayon. I will never exchange them for money. "Tito Leb and I will get you, Brooke. You better hide princess." I said and faked a growl.

    We spent the whole morning playing. Hanggang sa napagod sila at nagpahinga. Pinaliguan ko si Leb at nag volunteer si CJ paliguan ang anak nya. Sabik na sabik sya kay Brooke and I couldn't get even more guilty.

     Pumunta kaming tatlo sa may gitna ng field. May picnic table Kasi dun at nagulat ako may naka handa. Iniwan muna namin sila Leb at Brooke sa may maliit na play ground dun.

      "Sino ang naghanda nito?" tanong ko. Ngumiti sya at tumalikod ako. "Meet my auntie Lani and." Lumabas yung babae hindi masyadong sosyalin ang itsura Di katulad ng papa ni CJ. And? And then lumabas si Hina.

       My face dropped and looked at him. He smirked, aasarin lang Pala nya ko damn him. Yeah, matanda na ko di parin kami nagkaka bati.

      "Nandito na rin naman sya dahil gusto nya dito sila mag stay ng asawa nya." Sabi nya. Tumalikod ako at ngumiti nalang.

      "Congrats sa wedding." sabi ko nalang. And I mean it with my heart. "Err, thanks." sabi nya. "Why did you call for us ba kuya? At bakit nandito si Ana, diba dapat nasa asawa nya sya?"

      "Oo nga, CJ. Do you need anything at ang dami mo pang pinaluto eh tayo tayo lang naman." sabi ng tita nya. She was so simple and nice. Siguro dito na sya lumaki, Malayo sa Manila.

      "I have an announcement." sabi nilang dalawa ni Hina. May announcement ang magkapatid? Seryoso?

       "Ikaw na ang mauna, Hina." Sabi ni CJ. Ngumiti ito at inaya ang asawa nya na nag gi grill. "This is also for you, hon." sabi nito.

    Tch, ang bastos talaga di man Lang pinakilala saakin.

   "I'm pregnant." Sabi ni Hina. Binuhat naman sya ng asawa nya. "Really!?" sigaw nung lalaki.

    I felt weirded and sad dahil nung nalaman ko sa ospital na buntis ako ay hindi ganyan ang reaction ko. I wasn't that happy pero nung tumagal na, I couldn't wish for more.

     "Congrats, sis. Magiging uncle na ako." ngiti ni CJ. "And so are you, Hina. Tita ka na." napalaki ang mata ko sa sinabi nya. He didn't tell me he would make this announcement.

     "Oh you mean magiging tita na ako? Why, nabuntis mo si Ana? Kuya, she's married!" sabi ni Hina. Kahit Kelan talaga hindi nya kaya maghintay.

      "Chill, Hina. First, hindi ka magiging tita dahil tita ka na. Second, bago pa sya ikasal ay nabuntis ko na sya. So there's nothing illegal about that, is there?" tanong nya.

     "OMG!" napasigaw sya. "Mommy! Mommy tara na sa playground ulit!" sigaw ni Brooke at nagpa buhat.

      "Is this a joke, Ana? Ngayon mo lang pina alam saamin ang tungkol sa bata. When she's literally like 5 years old or even 6! You hid my niece for 6 years goodness."

      "I'm not your niece. Hindi ka naman kapatid ni mommy or no daddy ah?" tanong nya. Gosh, this will be so difficult for her. "Stop, Hina. Please, bata pa ang anak ko." pilit ni CJ

     "Anak, I have to tell you something." naluluha kong Sabi. I lied to you baby, I lied. Sorry, anak. "Tito CJ isn't your Tito. He's your real father, baby."

     Bumaba ito mula sa buhat ko. "Mommy, you're silly. Si daddy naiwan sa bahay. He's not my daddy." sabi nya.

      "I am, Brooke." ngiti ni CJ. "Please call me daddy." sabi ni CJ sakanya.

     "Sabi sa school, I only have 2 fathers. God and my real daddy. Who is tito CJ there? He can't be God." sabi nya.

    Napangiti nalang ako. "Just call him, daddy. Hindi mo Pa ko maintindihan anak pero the right time will come for everything." I hugged her. "Now go hug daddy CJ."

      She ran to CJ and hugged him. Naluha si CJ nung niyakap nya ang anak nya. This was my fault, kasalanan kong ganito ang nangyari. She couldn't understand because of me. I promise I would give her a family she deserves to have.
