LOVE PERSISTED (COMPLETED)

Chapter 21

Dale's Pov

I knew I always make the wrong decisions in life.

I always struggle because i wasnt brave enough to fight.

But this time, i promise im gonna be in the battle field with him.

Kumatok muna ako, baka kasi may tao sa loob. Wala namang sumagot maybe he's alone.

I was about to open the door when my phone rang.

Hope calling...

Umupo muna ako sa waiting seat sa gilid ng pinto at sinagot ang tawag ni Hope.

"Anak? Bakit napatawag ka?"

"mama kasama ko si papa!"

She sounds so happy but i got scared. Napatayo tuloy ako at napatakip sa bibig ko. Diyos ko po, what is he planning? Is he gonna take Hope?

"Nasaan kayo? Pwede ko bang makausap ang papa mo?"

"opo"

"hello hon"

"Nat, nasaan kayo? Pupuntahan ko kayo"

"Nasa terminal na kami ng bus, its up to you kung sasama ka pauwi. Now you have to choose between Hope and Chad"

"Damn it Nat! Ano bang nangyayari sayo?!"

"you cheated on me Dale. You have an hour to decide"

I wiped out my tears and ran as fast as i could to the exit of the hospital.

Im sorry edward.

Edward's Pov

It has been 3 days. Tatlong araw na akong nandito sa hospital. Sabi ng doctor okay na ako pero under observation parin kaya mas mabuti kung mananatili ako rito.

I've never heard of Dale and Hope. The last time i knew, umuwi na sila ng probinsya. Maybe, tuluyan na siyang sumama kay Nathaniel. I cant blame her. Im nothing but a temptation to their marriage.

Anne calling...

Kinuha ko yung phone sa side table at sinagot ito.

"yes anne?"

"sir, may mga pulis pong pumunta dito sa bahay niyo. Hinahanap po kayo,... May dala po silang warrant of arrest para sa inyo"

Napabangon ako bigla.

"what?! Why?"

"sir, adultery daw po. Nagsampa ng kaso si Nat."

That bastard. Ano pa bang gusto niya? Nasa kanya na sina Dale ah! Tangina.

"and sir, may urgent meeting po ang BOD. Balita ko po, balak po nilang tanggalin kayo bilang chairman"

"I'll fix everything. Salamat Anne. And please, don't let peem know this"

"okay po sir"

Ibinalik ko na sa side table yung phone ko. This is so insane. I have to fix all of this. Alam kong hindi lang si Nathaniel ang nasa likod ng lahat ng ito, at kung sino man ang tumutulong sa kanya, humanda sila.

"Nat what's going on?!"

I shouted on him. I dont get it. Ipapakulong niya ako! This is ridiculous! I should have filed a devorce paper back then when i had the chance. He deceived me.

"You cheated on me. Don't worry, ako na ang bahala sa anak natin"

He calmly said that as if he was innocent. I dont really get him. Akala ko okay na kami, akala ko okay na ang lahat.
