Mystify Love

Chapter 31

LAST

Kakauwi ko lang galing hospital, nag padespedida ang mga staff and directors para sa aming mga doctors na nag volunteer. I'm coming home tomorrow night in Manila! Makakasama ko na ulit ang anak ko. I'm so excited!

"Habibti? What are you thinking?" Weston asked.

He's here with me, dahil sasama na ito sa akin sa Manila, leaving his company behind and starting a new on his father's law firm. All of his things are inside my room.

"I'm just happy, makikita ko na ulit si Tiana." I said as I continued to fix my things.

Umupo siya sa kama, pinapanood niya lang akong nag-aayos ng mga gamit ko dahil siya tapos na sa lahat, ako na lang ang hindi pa.

"You want to visit my Mom tonight?" He asked. "Before we go to Manila."

Tumungo ako bago magsalita. "Tapusin ko lang 'to. Teka! Kung tinutulungan mo ako, e di sana tapos na tayo! Kanina tumulong ako sayo mag-ayos ha?"

He laughed, tumayo siya at kinuha ang gamit sa kamay ko.

"Lemme do it." He then went to my side and help me with my clothes.

We are in the middle of packing my souvenirs for my family and friends when I think of something.

"Weston,"

"Hmm?"

"What if Tiana's parents show up?" I asked out of the blue. "What if they want Tiana back?"

Tinigil ko ang ginagawa ko dahil parang nawalan ako ng gana. Thinking that they will get Tiana away from me makes my heart shudder.

"That's not gonna happen, babe. I made sure that no one's looking for Tiana when I process the papers and if someone shows up, it's Tiana's choice if she wants to be with her parents." Sagot ni Weston.

Nais kong magprotesta sa huling sinabi nito but that's a reality, it's Tiana's decisions not mine.

"But, I know Tiana will choose you." He added. "You're the one who made her feel what family truly is and that's enough for her to stay with you, with us."

"That's good to hear. I'm just afraid that they will take Tiana from me. Hindi ko kakayanin, Tiana is my life, she's everything to me." My heart started to clench. "Ayaw kong mawala siya sa akin, Weston."

"Habibti,"

Tinigil nito ang ginagawa niya saka lumapit sa akin. Hinawakan nito ang magkabilang balikat ko.

"No one will take Tiana away from us, no one. I won't let that happen." He said, Weston kissed my lips. "I'll protect her, you, don't worry. I will pull every connection that I have so no one can take Tiana away from us."

I nodded. Hindi ko mapigilan mag overthink, lalo't aalis na kami rito sa Samar, kung saan ko natagpuan si Tiana pero paano kapag sa pag-alis namin ay ang siyang paglitaw ng mga magulang nito at kuhain siya sa amin? Hindi ko kaya.

They are still Tiana's parents, sa kahit anong korte, alam kong sila ang papaboran dahil sila ang tunay na magulang nito but I know, Weston will do anything so no one can get Tiana. Kahit hindi sang-ayon sa batas, para lamang sa anak namin.

"Okay ka na ba? Hmm?" Weston asked.

"Medj," Sagot ko rito. "Sige na, ayusin mo na ang mga gamit ko. Maliligo lang ako."

"Gusto mo sabay tayo?"

"Gusto mong tahiin ko 'yang bibig mo?" Tinuro ko ang isang bag ko na naglalaman ng mga medical supplies na gamit ko. "Ayon lang oh, higa ka lang sa bed and I'll suture your mouth without any anesthesia."
