A Reader's Own Love Story

Chapter 14

Months pass. Finally, next week is our 3rd anniversarry and next week I'll be moving out to my condo and live to the house that Drake and I bought.

Im doing my blueprint when my phone rings. Its my mom.

{Hello mom? Bakit po kayo napatawag?} Agad akong kinabahan when I heard her sobs. Maybe its about dads condition.

{Y-your dad} Her voice broke.

{W-what happened mom?} I asked and get my keys on the table and headed to my car.

{Please come to our house. He confess something to me.} I hang up the phone and drove fast to our house.

"Mom, Dad what is it?" I ask them pagkapasok ko sa bahay. I saw them talking and my mom seems very broken.

"Gwyneth." My dad called me."Im sorry. I been keeping this secret to you and to your mother since last week. I didnt tell you because Im scared. I might lose you or you might get mad on me. Specially your mom. I love both of you that's why I cant tell it. But I know eventually you will know it. I dont want another mistake so Im telling you now.  Y-you have a  s-sister." Para akong nabingi sa narinig ko. I h-have a step sister? When? How? I dont know what to say to my dad. I cant utter a word.

"I-I didnt know that I got her mom pregnant when we where in college. A week after your mom and I broke up I met her mom and we have a one night stand. Last week ko lang nalaman na may anak pa akong isa. She saw me talking to my friends on a restaurant. She cried infront of me and saying that she is my daughter. At first I didnt believe her but when I saw her mom and we run a DNA test its proves that she is r-really my d-daughter. S-she's a month older than you."

I didnt know what to say. I want to be mad on him for being careless. And Im trying to understand his situation. He's sick so I cant be mad on him but fuck it! I am damn hurt. H-how can he let this things h-happen.

"M-mom." I called her. She just stared at me and started to cry real hard. I know, she's trying her best to accept the truth because he loves dad so much. I didnt look at my dad. I just cant. I am mad. I hate him because of that. He hurts my mom.

After that revelation, I decided to go back to my condo. Im too tired to think, to move. I didnt even eat dinner that night. I havent ask him who is my step sister. Im not yet ready. And God knows when will I be.

2 weeks later......

Im walking alone to the mall to buy books and notebooks when I saw my dad with a girl.

Does my dad have a mistress?  That's the first thing that came into my mind .

But the girl doesnt seem to be a mistress because she's too young. Maybe the same age as I am. Then an idea pop into my mind.

I-is that my s-sister?

I decided to follow them. I dont want to meet her yet but I want to know who is she. They're buying too many clothes and girly stuffs. Probably my dad wants to give her everything. Gusto niyang bumawi sa anak niya.

Hindi ko maiwasang hindi malungkot. My dad never did that with me. They're always busy for our bussiness.

I follow them until they decided to go. And fuck it. I saw the girl. I cant be wrong. I know her. I really really know her. I cant believe it. Why? Bakit siya pa? Of all people?

Bakit si Amber pa?

My sight became blurry. My tears started to fall down on my cheeks. I called Drake and tell him to go to my condo.

"Love. What's wrong? Why are you crying?" He said and hugged me.

"A-amber." I cant continue what Im going to tell him. Parang may nakabara sa lalamunan ko.

"Why? What did she do to you?"

"S-she is m-my sister." Drake frozed for a moment. I know he's also shock.

"H-how?" I explained to him everything. From the very start. From what my father told me and from what I saw.

I cried the whole night until I fell asleep.

The next day im fixing my things because its for me to leave my condo and to live in our new house.

{Mom. Im moving out today. Lilipat na kami sa binili namaing bahay ni Drake.} I said while fixing my things. We've been talking to each other over phone for an hour.

{You've grown in to a fine young lady. I hope Drake will take care of you and please dont depend on him that much okay? Leave something for yourself.}

{Yes mom. I know that. Thanks mom I need to hang up love you.}

Drake havent called yet maybe he's busy packing his things too. Well its early thou. 7am palang naman. I drove myself to our house. Finally, Im living with him starting today.

Pagkapasok ko sa bahay namin I was shock when I saw a table in the middle with scented candles. Roses are scattered on the whole living room.

Then I saw Drake walking down stairs with a boquet of roses on his hands.

"Happy 3rd anniversarry my Love." He said and kissed me. He handed me the boquet and pull a chair for me.

"Happy anniversarry love. You never failed to surprise me huh?" I said we both chuckled.

"Come on lets eat. Im fucking hungry as hell. I've been preparing this till 4am." I was a little bit stunned on what he said. Darn he really did put an effort on this. Well its really appreciated.

After eating we decided to tour around our house. Nag stay muna kami sanai sa garden. Well I guess the garden will be my favorite spot. On the middle of the garden is a big pool surrounded with different kind of flowers. At hindi masyadong natatamaan ng sinag ng araw.

"Lets go. Lets fix our things na." I said to Drake and we went inside the house again.

"Thats your walk in closet love. The black one and mine's white." Drake said and I just nodded and start to fix our things.

I ask Drake to go down stairs to get us some drinks. He got hard drinks on his hands when he entered the room.........

To be continue. ......
