Fancying My Father's Bride (Completed)

Phase 35: Your Papa

•LATRYNA'S POV•

"As, this is not mine!," patuloy lang ako sa pagbaba ng hagdanan, hindi pinapakinggan ang sigaw niya. I am sure he is following me and I don't care to look back. I don't want to look back. Whether he owns the child or not, the shockness from the news hurt so much. My breath limited ultimately and my heart has been gripped forcefully.

"Manuel!," I walked faster in the pathway. Hinahanap ang gate na dinaanan namin kagabi. Iyong init ng daan ay hindi ko pinansin. Gusto ko lang makalayo kahit ngayon lang. Gusto kong makapag-isip nang maayos. Nagulat ako ng husto.

"Baby," arms scooped my legs and I don't want to ask its owner. "Hindi sa akin 'yon. Maniwala ka.." isinampa niya ako sa balikat niya.

"Sh*t! Ibaba mo ako! I don't want to talk to you! Uuwi na ako! Hinahanap na ako ng mga magulang ko!"

Nakikita ko iyong hagdanan papunta ng portiko ng bahay. Tapos marahan niya akong ibiniba dito. We looked at each other. His eyes were warmly begging and I don't want to look at him like that. My heart is breaking and tears are falling nonstop. A while ago, I have confessed that I love him, and then this happened.

"Listen. You know Thalia. She's desparate, baby. Swear, if she's pregnant, the baby is not mine. I'll never betray you."

Nakayuko akong inisip na baka tama siya. Gusto ko siyang paniwalaan. Pero iyong sakit at iyong sinabi ni Congressman that temptation is a strong competitor of love remained like wildfire, it keeps circulating in my head. Sumasakit ang ulo ko. Thoughts are battling in my head. Negative and positive.

"I was not living with her after that fake marriage. Hindi ako umuuwi sa bahay na ibinigay ng Daddy niya. If I become tired from work, I went home to my house or in my condo. Every day of that three years, I can tell. I did not sleep with her."

Nanatili akong tahimik. Hindi ko naiitindihan ang gusto kong gawin. Kung anu-ano na lang ang tumatakbo sa isip ko. Gusto kong manahimik dahil ayaw ko siyang pagsalitaan ng masama sa bagay na hindi ko naman kumpirmado. Nasasaktan lang din ako sa bagay na hindi ko alam kung totoo. I am convincing myself that it is not confirmed and that this news is just a trick from Thalia to get Ryos back, but he's a man. Baka may pagkakataon sa tatlong taon na iyon na natukso siya, na hindi sapat ang pagmamahal para kalabanin ito. Nagmamahal siya sa taong hindi naman siya siguradong mamahalin din siya.

"As," his voice is breaking while coping my cheeks. Inangat niya ang tingin ko para makita niyang umiiyak ako ng labis. "That is not mine. Trust me please. I am begging you."

Tinitigan ko ang kanyang magagandang mata. At mas lalo lang ako nasasaktan. Naiisip kong may nangyari sa kanila ni Thalia. My brain is not cooperating! I don't want to think about it.

"You only know me for only two month or less in the past. I don't think that that love is strong enough to fight for temptation. Thalia is beautiful as I always saying to you. Lalaki ka....at nasasaktan ako. Ayaw kong magsalita kasi baka mamura kita ng hindi sa oras. Don't let me talk," he nodded and gave me a tight hug.

"I understand. And as I was always saying to you, hindi ko siya gusto. Lalaki ako. If you think I have that needs, it doesn't apply to all men, As, including me. I was busy serving people. I keep my life busy so that I cannot think of sadness. For three years, I have that thinking that I have a child with you, na baka nabuntis kita. Hinanap kita, pinapahanap. Your friends are hiding and Josefa is so loyal to you. I respected their decision not to give a little information. Sabi ni Daddy, I give you a break. Kasalanan ang ginawa natin, and I understand that you need to rest. I only pray that destiny will favor us. Na magkikita rin tayo sa tamang panahon. Pasensiya ang pinanlaban ko sa lahat. Iyong pagmamahal ko...sa'yo ay totoo iyon. I am not used to people doubting my love for them, but I'll beg right now that you trust me and believe me."
