Taming Wild Roses [Chasing Liberty Series #1]

44

(A/N: To all who got confused whether something happened to Kai and Roshan, yes may nangyari po sa knaila. After what happened to Roshan and Aiden, she was drugged right? And Kai was there to help. He brought her to his condo and that's when something happened to them. In Chapter 20, when Roshan woke up, she thought she dreamt of something. Akala niya panaginip lang iyong nangyari sa kanila ni Kai, but in reality, totoo pala. This will be further elaborated in the next chapters. I hope it's clear now.

And also please take note that the plot is already completed in my mind. Wala na po akong babaguhin. You're free to drop the story if hindi niyo nagugustuhan yung patutunguhan.

Thank you and enjoy reading! )

"What are you saying?" kunot na noo niyang tanong. Halos mabasag ang puso ko sa sobrang pag hataw nito.

"Aiden..I." ani ko kasabay ng pagpatak ng luha.

"Roshan, is this some kind of prank?" mahinahon niyang saad.

Umiling ako at hinawakan ang braso niya. We're both here on the bed, sitting while I cry my heart out.

"That night..I..."

"I heard it once. Don't repeat it." matigas niyang sabi, mas lalong naningkit ang kanyang mata. His muscles tensed.

"If you don't want a DNA test then so be it. Sorry, I should've.." iling ko, patuloy pa rin ang pagbagsak ng luha.

"You think he's the father?" para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig ng marinig ang pagkabasag ng kanyang boses.

"I...don't know. But, I can't deny the -"

"Let's do a test." aniyang nagpalaki sa aking mata. "Neytiri's mine. I'm sure of it." hinawakan niya ang mukha ko.

"You sure?"

"For your peace of mind, let's do it." hinaplos niya ang aking mukha at pinatakan ako ng mga halik.

"Thank you Aiden!" para akong nabunutan ng tinik sa sinabi niya, pero bumalik ang bigat nito ng maisip ang posibilidad na hindi si Aiden ang ama ni Neytiri."

"But, what if.."

He held my head high, he looked at me straight in the eye. "When I told you I love you, I was ready to accept everything about you. But I am sure, I'm Neytiri's father. So don't worry. Okay?"

Tumango ako.

"Gaga ka talaga!?" sigaw ni Tris. "Seryoso ba?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong niya ng ikwento ko sa kanya ang nangyari. Nandito kami ngayon sa bahay, wala si Aiden dahil may duty sa ospital. "Kaya pala nandito na rin si Elios! Sabay pala silang bumalik. Ugh!" reklamo niya.

"Tris pano kung.."

"Hindi ko alam babes! Paano si Aiden kung sakali?" nag panic niyang tanong. "Anong plano mo?"

Huminga ako ng malalim bago sumagot. I've been thinking about this for so long na halos mabaliw ako. "If it's Kai then hindi ko ipagdadamot si Neytiri. We can co-parent. But, I'll stay with Aiden. Hindi ko siya kayang saktan, Tris. He gave his all to us."

"Staying with him means you love him." tumikhim siya. "Romantically, I mean."

"I'll stay with him. Tris, I can't hurt him."nagsimula na namang mag bagsakan ang aking luha.

"He's the only one who accepted me, beside you, siya lang. Noong walang wala ako, kinupkop niya ako. Pinaramdam niyang may pamilya ako."

"Is that love or guilt? Love or indebtedness?" tanong niyang nagpakunot sa aking noo.

"What? What do you mean?" nalilito kong tanong.

"I don't know Roshan. I.."

"What is it, Tris?"
