Chapter 18

There's always one for us

.

Nagising ako na nasa tabi ko parin si Khalil –nakaakap sa baywang ko't ang ulo'u malapit sa may leeg ko. Napangiti na lamang ako habang pinagmamasdan siya. The memories that we shared last night is very vivid to me. Everything that happened is very clear, from his kiss until to his gentle thrust. His kisses were sweet, his touch was very warm, and his thrust was gentle, he was very careful while taking me, like I was a vulnerable vase he should take care of.

I caressed his hair, and smiled a bit because of its softness. We're using the same shampoo but why do I feel that his hair is softer than mine? I let a chuckle and continued touching his hair down to his face.

While doing such things to him, I realized that this man had done so much for me. His eyes witnessed every pain that I experienced, and his ears heard every sobs that coming from me, in other words, he witnessed everything after I and Henrik split. He became my crying shoulder. He embraces me and has a share on the pain I am feeling. Out of his care and maybe pity to me, he showed me mercy; he gave me light when I thought that my life is already out of hope.

I couldn't help but to let out a tear for everything he had done for me, maybe it's about time for me to offer something –to make him happy. And the only thing that I know that could equal everything he did to me is to love him back.

"Mommy is Philippines beautiful?" our Eurence suddenly asked, his shirt is now stained with chocolate ice-cream.

"Yes, big boy. It is a beautiful country, just like your mom," Khalil answered.

Eurence let a chuckle and he does, he really looks like his father.

Napangiti na lang ako habang pinagmamasdan siya. I really wonder if what will Henrik if he saw his son. Ganoon pa rin kaya ang sasabihin niya sa akin?

"Mommy is really beautiful, that's why Eurence is handsome," Eurence proudly responded and it made our dining area full of laughter.

Our day went so normal, like how a family usually spent their day with each other. We toured Eurence in a museum here in Stockholm, and we went home that the child is very exhausted.

During the night, I and Khalil talked about revealing the truth about Eurence. We informed Abuela about our plan and it seems like she did not like the idea, for if it would be revealed, people will be talking against our family.

"Eurence would probably hate me if we keep this a secret, Abuela," I told her.

My old grandmother just took a sigh and eventually nodded her head.

"If you're really sure about this, then fine, reveal it. But Jenan, would that man accept Eurence as his? He's getting married, that would surely ruin his image to your cousin," Abuela said and concern is in her voice.

"It's up to him if he will accept Eurence, with or without him, Khalil and I can raise Eurence. And as for Daniela, if she really trusts her fiance, then she should accept the truth. Besides, I and Henrik were already done, there's no reason for her to feel threatened," I said full of honesty.

Nakatingin lamang si Khalil sa akin, tila ba tinatanya niya kung totoo ba ang mga sinasabi ko. Ngumiti na lang ako sa kanya at ganoon din siya sa akin.

"But what if the dela Condes will fight for Eurence?" Abuela asks.

"Eurence is still young, the custody is on Jenan and if they will really push this on the court, we will make sure that we will win against them," Khalil assured Abuela.
