He's My Husband

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

Tricia's POV

          "Mommy, san puntaaa?"

Saglit kong nilingon ang anak ko na pirming naka upo sa passenger seat. I smiled to her and glance back to the road.

"We're going to dadd—"

I stopped.

Bigla tuloy akong napaisip. Ipapakilala ko naba si Ken kay Qiera bilang daddy niya ngayon?
Alam ko naman na sooner or later, malalaman niya ang totoo.

But I'm still afraid though.. I'm nervous.

"You'll see later, honey"
Nasabi ko nalang.

Ano kayang mangyayari in the future kapag nalaman na nilang mag ama sila.
Si Ken, alam kong sigurado na siya na siya ang ama.

Feeling ko kasi mapupunta sa risk ang hapiness namin kapag napalapit pa kami ng tadhana.
Ayokong maranasan ni Qiera ang naranasan ko. The feeling of rejection, betrayal, pain.. It can kill someone's heart.

Tahimik naming binaybay ang daan at tahimik rin kaming nakarating. Akala ko nga ay nakatulog siya pero hindi pala. Siguro.. Excited siya sa loob loob niya.. Since this is her first time formally meeting her unknown father.

"Tama ba tong napuntahan natin?"
I asked in wind.

Napakunot ako habang tinitignan ang madilim at malaking puno mula sa loob. Napakibit balikat nalang ako at lumabas na para buhatin si Qiera.

"Mommy, I'm scared.."
She whispered then hug me tightly.

"I'm here baby.."

Haist, asan naba kasi ang lalaking iyon at dito pa kami dinala?
As far as i know, valentines day ngayon hindi Halloween.

I decided to pick up my phone and called him.
The moment its rings, a song played behind us.

I'd never gone with the wind
Just let it flow
Let it take me where it wants to go
Til you open the door and there's so much more
I'd never seen it before

Unti unti kong pinihit ang aking katawan kasabay ang sabay sabay na pag ilaw ng paligid.
At last, the dark huge tree became as shiny as stars.

I was trying to fly, but i couldn't find wings
But you came along and you changed everything

Seconds later, while we're staring at the beautiful place, i gradually saw his shadow.. That turn into figure... I finally saw Ken. His handsome face, bridged nose, reddish lips...

You lift my feet off the ground
Spin me around
You make me crazier, crazier
Feels like im falling and i
Am lost in your eyes

Kumawala si Qiera sa hawak ko at nagsimulang maglakad palapit sa lugar na iyon at sa ama niya. Bakas sa mga mata niya ang pagkamangha at, in the same time, pagkalito.

Bakit nga ba hindi si Vester ang kasama namin ngayong Valentines this year?

You make me crazier, crazier

Ito na naman.. Nararamdaman ko na naman itong kakaibang pagtibok ng puso ko..
Bumibilis na naman.

Kailan ba ito titigil?

Kailan ko ba siya tuluyang malilimutan?

"Sorry for scaring you, baby.."
Rinig kong bulong ni Ken kay Qiera habang binubuhat ito.
