Her Way Home

Chapter 16

But things happened, there's this girl that was obsessed with Anton. She secretly send me messages and photos of them together. At first hindi ko iyon pinansin, but when they became prequently features in a news, I confronted him. We fight that night, then I received some photos and video of them making out.

"What? I can't imagine Anton can do that to you."

"Is strange because I didn't held grudge against him. Until now I still love him. I just tried understand him, maybe along the way he felt out of love. And I can't blame him. We had understanding before I move in with him."

"But still, he should have the decency to breakup with your first."

"It's already in the past, we both move on already."

"But I can't hardly believe it, he always asked my husband about you, and my husband suspect that he's still in love with you."

"Of course that's not true, looked at him now his engaged. And he has Trisha. She finally gets what she wants."

"That bitch is crazy." Kate said in angrily.

"Why?"

"Out of whimp, she wanted to take over your boutique." He said that ng minsang pumunta siya sa boutique kasama Anton, she knew that Anton is one of the partners. "I quickly detests,  and thankfully even Anton did not agrees with her crazy girlfriend." Kate was about to say something else but she stop when she saw the pained registered in her face. It's still painful to hear Anton is already belong with Trisha. "Sorry."

"I'm fine..."

"When did you know your pregnant?"

"When I'm in Canada,  I'm so happy and scared at the same time. Buti na Lang Rick and Carla were there for me.  And I wait for him, hoping he would come for me. You know I waited for a long long time. When years pass by and he didn't search for me, that's when I knew that I meant nothing to him. But my stupid heart still love and longed for him every day. When I heard the news that he has a girlfriend. I told to my self it's just one of his flings. I know his not that serious in any of his relationship, but it hit me and hurt me so much when I heard about the engagement. You know I cried for days. I hide it from my children because I don't want them to get worried. That's why I decided to go back here para ipagbili lahat ng mga natitira kong pag aari dito sa Pilipinas. I don't have any reason to stay here anymore. He is already gone, I already lost him. The consolation is I have his children, his constant reminder. AJ looks exactly like his father that's why I name him after him.

Isang mahigpit na yakap any ibinigay sa kanya ni Kate. Consoling her. Hindi niya Alam kong gaano katagal siyang umiyak. "I'm sorry ang akala ko naubos ko na lahat ang mga luha ko."

"It's okay, I'm glad you tell me all about it, I knew how you feel about him, and I know how much you love him. And I understand."

"Thank you, I feel a lot better now,  thank you for listening."

So what's your plan?"

"One month lang kami dito, Kaya gusto kong ipasyal ang mga anak ko sa magagandang lugar dito sa pilipinas. This maybe the last time they will set foot in this country, Kaya susulitin ko na habang nandito kami. Gusto nilang pumunta sa Palawan kaya baka iyon ang una naming puntahan."

"Great! We will come with you, i will asked my husband and Liz. You know it's one of my bucket list to travel all around the Philippines." Excited na sabi nito.

"May balak ka bang ipakilala ang mga anak mo kay Anton?" Pagkuwa'y Sabi nito.

"Of course, hindi ko lang Alam kung paano. Siguro bago kami bumalik sa Canada. Can you help me find a good buyer para sa bahay ko sa Pasig?"

"Don't worry about it, I will help you find one. As for now forget all about your worries. Ang isipinin muna natin ay ang pagta-travel na gagawin natin.

"I already prepare the guess room."

"You don't have too, magstay muna kami Ng mga bata sa bahay ko sa Pasig."

"Why don't you stay her habang nandito ka sa pilipinas. You don't have to worry about your kid kasi nandito naman ang mama at may makakalaro pa sila."

"I don't want to impose."

"You should, malaki ang naitulong mo sa amin Ng asawa ko noon. Now is the time for us to pay you back.

Magkasunod lang sila dumating ni Uel Kaya sabay na silang pumasok sa loob nag mansion nito. Nakita nito ang dala niya pasalubong sa dalawang anak nito. "I can't blame my children for making you their favorite uncle in the world. You spoiled them too much pare."

Natawa na Lang siya sa sinabi ng kaibigan. "I love spoiling them. This got me thinking, I need to produce an heir. Which I can spoiled."

His friend raised his eyebrows suspiciously. "Is Trish already pregnant?"

"No yet. We've both very busy with our careers and she's too vain with her body."

"She's not a wife material Anton." Nakita niyang nailing na lamang ito. His friend don't like Trish even his kids and Kate don't like her, may pagka-snobish kasi ito kung minsan.

"Ano bang nakita mo sa kanya pare."

He just shrugged his shoulders. "Compatibility, I guess."

"Do you love her?"

"I think so."

Tinapk nito ang balikat niya. "If you don't love her, don't marry her pare. Find someone who will love you unconditionally. Who will give you a home and a family ."

"Daddy!" Narinig niyang sigaw ng mga anak nito habang tumatakbo papunta sa kanila. Binuhat ni Uel pareho ang anak. This are the things that were missing in his life. Kaya minsan pag burn out siya o stress sa trabaho, he visit them.

"I want you to meet our new friends." Ani renz sa ama.

"They are Aj and Luisa, and they are twins too." Sabi Naman ni Tim.

"Hello po." Sabay na bati ng dalawa sa kanya.

His attention shift to the two little figures in front of him. Hawak ito sa magkabilang kamay ni Tita Fely. It tugs his heart when he saw the envy in their eyes while looking at Uel kids, when  he got a closer look at the children, he felt some sort if familiarity.

Lumapit siya sa dalawa. He saw the cute little girl is on verge of crying. Pinipilit lang nitong huwag maiyak."Hey there little girl, you alright?" He said gently.

Tumingin lang ito sa kanya at umiling. "Where are your parents?"

Si Aj and sumagot sa tanong niya. "My mom is talking to Auntie Kate, and about my dad." It cuts his heart seeing how the little boy fought so hard not cry. "We don't have one."

"Can you give Tito Anton a hug." Na hindi naman pinagdamot ng dalawang Bata. And when he held them in his arms. He felt like his finally home. For some unknown reason he began to cry.

"Tito Anton, your name sounds familiar. Hindi ba Luisa?"

"That's the name mommy's often whispered in her sleep." Luisa said softly.

Biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso niya sa sinabi ni Aj at Luisa.

"Alam mo pare, if I didn't know you better, mapapagkamalan ko na anak mo sila. The resemblance you have with them is so uncanny." Ani Uel.
