Chapter 32: Sleep
"W-What?" He asked, curiousity is visible on his face now.
I immediately avoided his gaze and bit my lower lip to stop it from shivering. Sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko ngayon at kailangan ko pang humugot ng malalim na hininga para makalma ang sarili. I'm damn nervous right now! Why did I accidentally spilled the truth?!
"Kalimutan mo na iyong sinabi ko. It's not true." Sabi ko at sinubukan uling itulak ang braso niya.
"Damn it, Czarina!" He said with full of frustration.
My breath hitched because of the visible anger that I can see in his eyes right now. Parang nag-aapoy ang asul niyang mga mata dahil sa galit. His stare is also intense like it can melt me anytime!
"How?" His voice broke.
Napaangat ang tingin ko sa kaniya nang marinig ko ang tono ng boses niya. The street light beside us reflected his eyes making it shine because of tears he's trying to stop. Nag-iwas ulit ako ng tingin at tumingin sa taas para pigilan ang pagtulo ng luha. He looks so vulnerable right now. So vulnerable that I can't even look at him without tearing up.
"How, Czarina?" He clenched his fist beside me making his veins look visible in his arms. "My son? How could you..."
Tumigil siya sa pagsasalita at tinakpan ang mukha niya gamit ang mga palad niya. I know that he's crying because his shoulders are shaking. Hindi rin nakatakas sa pandinig ko ang pinipigilan niyang paghikbi.
"How could you hide my son from me?" He asked and removed his hands from his face.
His still tearing up though. Nang hindi ko na mapigilan ang sarili ay napaiyak na rin ako. I tried to cover my mouth to stifle my sobs.
"I'm sorry." I mumbled.
"How, Czarina?! How could you that to me?!" He shouted with full of frustration.
Nakakuyom rin ang kamao niya at nakaigting ang panga na parang pinipigilan ang sarili para hindi makapanakit ng iba.
"B-Because you cheated on me!" I shouted with the same intensity as his.
"I didn't." He shook his head.
"You...you are." I said between sobs.
"Fuck! Why can't you just believe me?!"
I flinched when he punched the wall beside my head, ramdam ko ang galit niya doon. Nang bumalik ang tingin ko sa kaniya ay nakatingin na siya sa ibaba. I can still here his sobs making me cry more. Hindi rin nakatakas sa paningin ko ang pagtulo ng luha niya sa lupa. I tried to reach for his shoulders even though my hands are trembling but he just moved away from me.
"Where is he?" Walang emosyong tanong niya.
Nagtagal pa ang tingin ko sa kaniya bago sumagot.
"He's with my parents." I answered.
"I want to see him." His still emotionless.
He's face is emotionless but his eyes tells otherwise. I really can't read him because his eyes are full of unreadable emotions. I looked down and tried to kick stones using my heels. I don't know if my son is still awake right now but I guess I'll just ask Mom. Ito na siguro ang tamang oras para makita nila ang isa't-isa.
Kung ano man ang nangyari sa amin ni Lucas noon, hindi na dapat madamay pa ang anak namin doon. Past is past, it's up to you if you're going to move on or stay and wait for the painful consequences to come.
"I'll just call Mom and ask if King is still awake." I said.
Mariin akong napapikit nang maalalang nasa loob pa pala ng club ang purse ko. I left it there earlier!
