What happened to Dash and Kaia after the "Delilah" incident?

Dash's P.O.V.

Marriage...I thought is easy as it seems, akala ko noon ay hindi na kami muling magkakapromblema ni Kaia. I raised my children well, I suppose. I took care of my family as much as I could. I did my best to protect them and love them the best I can but life really has ways to shake even the building with the strongest foundation.

I loved my children dearly, I loved my wife truthfully. I am loyal to her since her Nanay gave her to me, simula pa noong natutunan ko siyang mahalin.

There are a lot of temptations, I admit. I am a pilot, I encountered a lot of people in and out of the country. I have met a lot of beautiful, young women and yes, they tried luring me to that temptation but I didn't even think of it. Not even a second.

Marriage is a sacred thing, nagsumpaan ang dalawang tao sa altar sa habang-buhay na pagmamahal, sa hirap man at ginhawa. As a husband, I promised my wife, in front of God, in front of my parents and her family that I would stay true to her and I plan to honor it for the rest of my life.

I believed being tempted and cheating is easy, just let your libido rule over your brain and that's it. What's hard is being loyal and faithful and yet, in this marriage, I chose the hard way, it is to stay true to my wife and my family because I love them, so much, more than the life itself.

I'd never trade the temporary warmth in bed and woman with a lifetime happiness with my family. I'd never trade my wife's smile to pleasure from other women. I'd never wipe the happy family we have in our children's eyes because of a sin.

I don't believe in cheating despite the love you have with your girlfriend or wife. Cheating is cheating. If you love someone, you'd never cheat on them. If you love someone, you won't just consider your fucking libido but consider your partner's feelings.

And my Mom and Dad never raised us like that, Daddy Jer loved Mommy Lena dearly. Bata pa lang kami ay palagi ng sinasabi sa amin ni Dad ang pagiging totoo sa pagmamahal and we promised, kaming magkakapatid na hindi namin sisirain ang pagmamahal mula sa pamilya sa isang kasalanan.

I did my best protecting my children that in the end, I ended up being too hard on them. Na sa sobrang pagprotekta ko pala sa kanila ay ako na ang nakakasakit. I promised Kaia's family not to hurt her and yet...sa huli, nasaktan ko siya.

I was a fool...and stupid to even believed what Delilah had told me. I am no saint, noong kabataan ko ay gago rin ako, kami ni Zeijan. Girls all over, we've flirted with girls that I thought it took a toll on me.

Sa sobrang takot at taranta ko ay 'di na ako nakapag-isip at kasalanan ko iyon. I should've asked my brothers for help, I should've have talked to my wife first before even believing Delilah is my daughter from another woman. I should've been smart.

What as stupid motherfucker I am.

Sa sobrang protekta ko sa pamilya ko para hindi sila masaktan, sa huli'y ako pa pala ang makakapanakit ng sobra sa kanila.

I was relieved when Zeijan told us Delilah's been playing with us all along, that all she told us was a lie to ruin our family.

I was a fool but I cried a lot in happiness noong nalaman kong nagsisinungaling lang si Delilah. I even knelt in happiness in front of my wife, crying my eyes out like a child.

But yeah, I made a mistake. It would take more than a simple sorry to make up with the pain and damaged I caused, lalo na sa asawa ko. Masakit man na pinagtulungan ako nina Thorn na sapakin ay tanggap ko rin naman, pagkatapos ba naman ng sakit na idinulot ko sa asawa ko?
