BASTARD 2: Tjardo Voltemaz - The Deception

CHAPTER 19: Hounded

CHAPTER 19

TWO DAYS HAD PASSED, Tjardo was already trying to move his limbs to walk that made the Doctor glad about his fast recovery. Parang wala na sakanya ang sakit na iniinda nito dahil pinilit na talaga nito na makatayo sa na-sementohang binti.

Aria even leave her absence in another week of trainings just to be with Tjardo and to take care of him in the remaining days before he discharged. Sa sitwasyon niya ngayon ay parang hindi na nito kailangan na manatili sa hospital. That he even insist his Dad that he should transfer him back to their mansion.

He also suggested that they will just call a private Doctor that will daily come to their mansion and check his condition. Natuwa naman kaagad ang dalaga, dahil nakikita niyang talagang sinisikap nito na maging malakas ulit siya.

Kontento na siyang makitang maayos na ito sa kabila ng malagim na nangyari. It already eased all those nightmares that always came in her sleep.

Naninibago rin siya sa sarili niya na hindi na sariwa ang mga masalimuot na kaganapan na iyon, na makitang nakangiti na ito sakanya. She's really happy that he recovered quickly from the accident.

ARIA WAS PREPARING a breakfast to Tjardo while he's still sleeping in the hospital bed. It was still dawn and she manage to wake herself just to serve him like before. Hindi pa niya natatapos ang pagtimpla ng kape ng marinig niya ng nagising na ang ama nito mula sa mahimbing na pagkakatulog sa couch.

"Gising ka na pala, Don." saad niya at kaagad na tinapos ang pagtitimpla sabay ibinigay sa matanda.

"You're early, Aria. What's with the energy today." ani ni Don sabay sinimsim ang hinanda niyang kape.

"Pinilit ko talaga ang sarili para naman makabawi kay Tjardo. I'm already starting to repay what I think I owe him." may ngiti sa labi na sagot niya at tumabi sa ama na may hawak narin tasa ng kape.

"Nagawa mo naring lumiban sa training para alagaan lang si Tjardo. Don't tell me that you two are still in love and still building that certain thing once your relationship lacks or never had?"

Lihim niyang tinago ang kilig sa nararamdaman niya. Pinirmi niya ang pagiging seryoso sabay napasimsim nalang muli ng kape.

"By the way? Nagawa na ba ng anak ko na ipaliwanag ang nangyari sa relasyon ninyo. As far to what I concern, my son always mentioned that you've been the worse ex? I really don't want to believe but maybe enlightening me can help." kuryos na ani nito saka siya nagpakawala ng malalim na buntong hininga.

"I think I am, Tjardo already explained to me that I cheated on him and I used him for a money. Hindi ko talaga matanggap na nagawa ko ang lahat ng iyon sakanya! Nararapat lang talaga na pagkamuhian niya ako sa nagawa kong iyon." paliwanag niya at naramdaman niya ang kamay nito sa balikat niya.

"Honestly, I don't see that you're really that bad. Look at you now, the way I see that you're being compassionate makes me think that you're really willing to change all wrong you made 'bout him. Nagugustuhan talaga kita, Aria, para sa anak ko. Magiging masaya yata ako kung bumalik ka para sakanya at ibuo muli ang alam kong nasira ng relasyon niyo." her eyes widened to what Don said to her. He's really serious to what he's been talking.

"I'm sorry Don but I am not really in that position to decide. Si Tjardo parin ang bahala kung ipupursige niya, saka wala pa naman akong balak, siguro kung may pagkakataon."

"You don't have to waste anything now, Aria. I see that you're really willing to take risk for what you forgotten. You're also start making good deeds to someone you had wronged. Kung iisipin mang naging masama ka noon, naniniwala ako na pinili mo parin magbago." sa sinabi nito ay napatalon ang puso niya sa tuwa. Don really never dissapoints in inspiring her, his words easily made her heart swell in joy.
