Secret Series #3 Beautiful Scars [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 37

Rain wakes me up for me to have my dinner. Matagal na oras pala akong tulog dahil sa matinding pagod dulot sa aking kalandian. I slowly got up and adjusted myself so I wouldn't look messy. I could even smell Rain's perfume on me and even my lipstick flushed out. He combed my hair with his fingers. A smile painted on his lips, he stares at me intently.

"What's your feeling right now?"

"You made me tired," I frowned in response to him and then stood up. He laughed a little.

"Sabihin nating ako," anas niya sa akin. "Ngunit pareho naman tayong nag-enjoy. Kaya walang talo, Ash."

Inismiran ko siya at akmang aalis nang hatakin niya ako pabalik saka niyakap ng mahigpit. Yumakap din ako bilang ganti sa kaniya saka naman niya ako hinalikan sa aking noo. I pulled away and looked at him for a moment. The joy of feeling that I can be with the man I love, but sadness is trying to enter my heart. Isang bagay na kailangan ko mabigyan ng linaw nang sa ganoon ay maalis ang bigat na aking nadarama. Hinawakan ko ang kaniyang kamay na may ngiti sama kami lumabas ng silid.

He took me to the dining room, seated me in the chair, and served me food. He was just looking at me as I ate, his eyes dancing with joy. Pagkatapos kong kumain ay sunod naming tinungo ang guest room kung saan naroon ang aming anak. Nakaupo ito habang nakasandal sa headboard ng kama, at tila may kung anong pinapanood sa kaniyang tablet. Umupo naman kami ni Rain sa kaniyang bawat pagitan.

"How's your sleep, Mom?"

"I feel better now." Tumango siya saka umangat ng tingin sa kaniyang ama at ibinaba ang kaniyang tablet.

"Master, would you allow me to go home with Mom?"

"No," sabay naming sabi ni Rain.

"What do you mean by that?" Papalit-palit siyang nakatingin sa amin ng kaniyang ama.

"No, River," I responded. "You should stay here because your daddy wants to see you every day, and your dad wants you to be safe."

"How about you, Mom?" Nginitian ko siya at pasimpleng hinawakan ang kaniyang kamay.

"I'm too busy, son," I said. I was about to speak again when Rain held my hand.

"But don't worry," Rain answered quickly. "We will be together, soon."

Napatingala ako mula sa kaniyang sinabi. Nakangiti lang ito habang nakatingin sa aming anak. Marahan kong inalis aking kamay.

"Are you going to marry my mom?" It's face shows signs of excitement.

"River," restraining him. He quickly turned to me.

"Yes, son," Rain stated. Natigilan ako at muling napaangat sa kaniya ng tingin. Nagtama ang aming mata sa pagkakataong iyon.

"I will marry your mom." Napaawang aking bibig mula sa mga katagang kaniyang binitawan. Para akong yelo na biglang natunaw at dahil nga siguro epekto na rin ito sa kilig na aking naramdaman.

I looked away from him, but he gave me a reason to look at him over and over. Si River naman ay nagpipigil sa kaniyang pagtawa takip ang bibig, gusto ko itong pagalitan pero kahit ako ay nadadala sa asar nito.

"Are you ready, Master?" tanong pa nito sa kaniyang ama na ipinagtaka ko ng kaunti. That kind of feeling na tila may tinatago silang dalawa na sekreto sa akin.
