Hate To Marry You (Completed)

Chapter 37 Jade's Family

3rd Person POV

The entire family are here in the house. I don't know what to say or do. Hindi lang ako ang nagulat kundi pati na rin si Zion. My Dad's voice reverberating. "Bakit hindi mo man lang ipinaalam sa amin na may anak na pala kayo ni Zion? Nagsasama na naman kayo at magpapabuntis ka na naman na hindi pa kayo kasal." Ang sabi pa ni Daddy sa amin.

Nagulat man ako sa tinuran ni Daddy ay nagsalita ako. "Daddy, Mommy, Kuya Drake and Kuya Blake. I'm so sorry kung hindi ko nasabi sa inyong lahat ang tungkol sa anak kong si Kaitlin. Kung ano po ang iniisip ninyo ay hindi yan totoo." Ang sabi ko pa sa kanila. Kinakabahan man ay pilit kong pinapatatag ang boses ko. My Dad is insinuating that I have a relationship and living with Zion. They knew we weren't married anymore. They knew that the divorce were filed and granted. I could not add more lies. I am sick and tired of running away from people just because I am afraid to be hurt. I don't want that anymore. No more lies for me.

Nagsalita si Mommy. "Jade and Zion, Kaitlin is so lovely. What do you mean na hindi totoo? Tell us what's going on." Ang pang uusisa pa ni Mommy.

Nagsalita si Zion. "We are separated but Jade and I are mending our relationship back." Zion said those words on a straight face. Really?! How can he do this! He just hated me this morning. Hated me so badly, he was ready to kill me. Stunned and dumbfounded, I remained still.

Nagsalita si Kuya Drake. "Well, what is important, we saw our sister. Ang tagal din kaming naghintay na umuwi ka Jade. Thank God you are okay and please to meet this beautiful girl here." Ang sabi pa ni Kuya Drake. Sabay pa nitong ginulo ang buhok ni Kaitlin. He is always so supportive of me. Always there when I needed him most.

"I guess wala naman palang problema they you are both patching things up with their relationship. You are both two consenting adult. Ang importante, mapalaki ninyo ng maayos si Kaitlin." Ang sabi naman ni Kuya Blake na as usual with his cool self. Zion looked at me in the eyes. Umiwas ako ng tingin dito at hindi ko ito kayang tingnan. I wanted to confront him by lying to my parents but I do not want to make a scene. I don't want to live a lie anymore. I don't want my parents to hope in our hopeless situation.

He went close to me and placed his arm over my shoulder. "We still love each other and we would like to start anew." Ang madamdamin nitong sabi sa pamilya ko. Was he telling the truth or was he just lying to them to appease their anger? "Mula noon hanggang ngayon. Kahit na nawala man ito sa buhay ko. Hindi ako naghanap ng iba at si Jade lang ang mahal ko." His arms tightened on my shoulders. He kissed my head. He is so affectionate in front of my family. His vouce full of warmth. Natuwa ang puso ko sa narinig. Pero nagtatanong ang isipan ko kung totoo ba ang sinasabi ni Zion at hindi purong kasinungalingan lang. How can I believe him? No fool will believe to what he said when he just hated me few hours ago.

My Dad spoke. "Ayaw naming makialam sa buhay ninyo. Ang gusto ko lang ay mamahalin mo ng totoo ang anak namin at ang apo ko. You guys were separated and still here together. I knew from the start that you are meant for each other. Whatever decisions you two are making. We are all just here to support you." Ang sabi ni Daddy. This touches my heart. Alam ko na kahit na ano mang mangyari ay nandiyan lang ang pamilya ko to support me.

My Mom turned to Zion and I. "I felt it how you have loved Jade Zion. Nang nawala ka Jade anak. Halos mabaliw si Zion sa kakahanap sayo. He was communicating to us, updating us regarding the findings of the investigators. I could feel in his voice how worried he is. Kaya kung may lalaki mang gusto naming makatuluyan mo ay walang iba kundi si Zion lang." Ang sabi pa ni Mommy in her teary voice.

Tumikhim si Zion. "Umasa po kayong lahat na mamahalin ko si Jade ng totoo." Maiksi pero madamdamin nitong sagot.

Nagsalita si Daddy. "O siya. Alam kong pagod na rin kayo. We will have to rest too. We are still gonna be here for three days. Baka gusto niyong sumama sa lakad namin." Ang sabi pa ni Daddy.

"Daddy, hindi ako pwede at may trabaho ako." Ang sabi ko pa dito.

"You can go. I can let your manager know that you need to be off starting tomorrow." Ang sabi pa ni Zion sa akin.

"Ayokong abusuhin ang posisyon mo Zion. Mahihirapan silang maghanap ng magka cover para sa akin." Ang sabi ko pa dito.

"Kailangan na nilang maghanap ng ipang palit sayo. Sooner or later ay aalis ka rin sa posisyon mo." Ang sabi pa ni Zion in an authoritative tone.

I think, I don't have a choice. Kundi sumama sa outing ng pamilya ko at ang haba din ng panahon na hindi ko nakita ang mga ito. I am such a fool to hide this long and came to find out that Zion was deligently looking for me.

"Sige po, pag usapan natin kung saan tayo magkikita." Ang sabi ko pa sa kanila.

"My family is here as well. Kung okay lang sa inyo na sumama din sila?" Ang sabi pa ni Zion. What? Bakit kailangan niya pang isama ang buong pamilya niya. Isn't it enough to fool my family and now his family? This is way too much.

Nagsaluta si Mommy. "Aba, isama mo sila at makapag bonding na naman kami ulit. The last time that we were all were together was during your wedding." Ang nakangiti pang sabi ni Mommy. Nagpaalam na silang lahat. They all hugged Kaitlin and Kaitlin hugged them back. Ang sayang tingnan ng family ko. Kung sana totoo ang sinabi ni Zion. He was left by himself here in the house. I was fumming mad and would like to confront him but I don't want Kaitlin to here us as well as Cora, Kaitlin's Nanny.

After awhile of playing with his daughter. Nagpaalam si Zion. "Daddy needs to go. I will see you tomorrow." Ang paalam pa ni Zion dito.

"No Daddy! I want you to stay!" Ang sigaw pa ni Kaitlin habang umiiyak. "Daddy!" Ang sigaw pa ni Kaitkin na umiiyak.

Lumapit ako kay Kaitlin and hugged her. Then I picked her up and carried her. "No anak. Daddy needs to go okay. He will come back and will see you everyday." Ang sabi ko pa kay Kaitlin.

Lumapit si Zion sa amin and hugged us both back. He hugged us so tight my heart aches with longing. We looked like a happy family. My heart is wishing that this is true. Pero alam ko na walang katotohanan ang mga ipinapakita nito. I want to cry with frustration. "Kaitlin anak, Daddy will just leave but we will gonna be leaving together soon. You, Mommy and Daddy, all will be together." Ag sabi pa ni Zion kay Kaitlin. Pati anak ko gusto nitong lokohin. "O sige, aalis na ako." Ang paalam pa nito na nakatingin sa akin, ngunit nakahalik naman ito sa pisngi ni Kaitlin.

He turned around and about to open the doorwhen I told him. "Can I talk to you inside your car? Pababantayan ko lang si Kaitlin kay Cora sandali." Ang sabi ko pa dito.

"Sure! I will wait for you there." Ang sabi pa nito sa akin.

Dinala ko si Kaitlin kay Cora at nagpaalam dito na mag uusup lang kami saglit ni Zion sa labas ng apartment kung saan nakaparada ang sasakyan nito.

Zion was leaning at the back of his car and on his deep thoughts when he spotted me. The moon is glimmering his handsome face and his towering height. It is full moon outside and the scene is so romantic. However romance is the last thing in my mind right now. He opened the car door for me looking at me deeply. My thoughts were in chaos right now. Full of questions and uncertainties. I silently went inside his car at the passenger side. He went inside at the driver's area.

Tumikhim ito. "I guess you wanted to talk to me. You can ask me questions and I will try with the best of my ability to answer you as honest as I could." Ang umpisa pa nito. His tone so mellow, with a hoarse manly sound.

Tumingin ako sa gawi niya. I am furious with anger right now. "I want to know why you told my family that we are patching things up when we are not?! I want to know why you told them that you love me and well in fact you don't?! Why? Why?" Ang pagsisigaw ko pa sa kanya. "I don't want anymore faccade. I don't want anymore to pretend, to hide and to lie. Why do you want to put me in this situation again? Why?" Ang sunod sunod ko pa na tanong dito. This time hindi ko na mapigilan ang emosyon ko. Ang mga luha ko. I don't want to pretend that I'm okay when actually I'm not okay. Napahagulgol ako, not caring what will Zion think of me.

He tilted my chin as he caressed my cheeks. "Look at me. Gusto mong malaman ang sagot? I don't need explanation why. All I know is that I love you! Yes, all along it is still you and only you that I love." He said those words while looking down at my lips. Natulala akong bigla sa tinuran nito. The moon is the only light between us. The witness to Zion's confession of love. He lowered his mouth to mine and kissed me deeply in this bright moonlight.
