Chapter 26

"Is that you sweetheart?"

Liningon ko si Dad and gave him a small smile before continued eating. Umupo sya sa head ng table and I felt his stare but didn't mind it.

"Where's Mom?"

Nagulat pa sya dahil sa tanong ko pero nagkibit-balikat lang ako.

"Uhm.. pababa na sya." Mahina nyang sagot before he cleared his throat then called a maid to serve him coffee.

"Ah, sweetheart?" Tawag nya so I faced him and I saw worry in his face.

"Yes, Dad?" Sagot ko sabay taas ng dalawang kilay.

"It's not that-- well,-- okay, why are you here, Danae?" Paputol-putol nyang tanong kaya unti-unting bumaba ang mga kilay ko at binalik ang tingin ko sa plato ko.

My face instantly changed and I can't help the bitterness spreading in my system. Ang tagal kong inalis ito kagabi pero ang bilis nitong bumalik which sucks.

"There's no point in staying with Xavier." Malamig kong sabi before glancing at him and I saw how he became more worried.

"Sweetheart, it's not Xavier's fault--"

One glare made him stop. That asshole didn't even tell them the whole story kaya sya ang pinapaburan nila at iniisip ngayon nila na depressed lang ako for being 'too angry' at my husband.

"He's still you're husband, Danae. You should stay with him." Mahinahon nyang paliwanag pero umiling lang ako kaya napa-buntong hininga sya.

"I just married him for the baby and now that she's gone, what the point?" Sagot ko before standing at sinundan naman nya ako ng tingin.

"Don't worry, I'm going home to my unit later. I will not stay here tutal pinagtutulakan mo naman ako palayo." Malamig kong sabi before walking out.

The PSG opened the backseat door but I shook my head and informed him to just work for my brother. Wala ng use ang mga PSG dahil wala na kaming dapat protektahan.

"U-uh. Welcome back po, Ms. Daniella." Gulat na bati ni Patricia nang lumabas ako sa elevator.

I just nodded at her before proceeding to my office. Might as well get back to work para kahit sandali lang, makalimutan ko ang sakit ng pagkawala ng baby ko.

If I just stayed at home just like what the doctors adviced, baka mag-pakamatay lang ako for always remembering my daughter. Besides, resting won't make me feel okay. Nothing can.

"So the gossips are right." Sabi ni Hugo nang pumasok sya sa opisina ko.

I didn't looked at him and just continued scanning the document.

"I didn't know that a company president believes in gossips." Sarcastic kong sabi bago sya sinulyapan.

He is standing in front of my table with his hands crossed while looking worriedly at me so I rolled my eyes.

"I don't need anyone's pity, okay? I'm fine." Matigas kong sabi bago binalik ang tingin ko sa pagbabasa.

"Dad told me to convince you to go home to Xavier." Sabi nya kaya inis ko syang tinignan but his face didn't changed.

"You need someone to--"

"The someone I need is already gone." I said through gritted teeth before I angrily slammed the document down.

It's slowly coming back. The pain. The disappointment. The regret. The wrath. It's making my chest tighten slowly and hard as tears are quickly forming in my eyes.
