Hiding The Billionaire's Son (COMPLETED)

Chapter 34: Truth

Damian was three days hospitalized. Pabalik balik ako sa bahay, hospital at trabaho. Wala akong sapat na tulog at laging naiiyak si Damian. Tapos ginagawa ko pa ang design na gusto ni Eros. Feeling ko nga mag c-collapse na ako sa stress. But thank god, despite those hard days I manage to make it.

Ngayong araw ang discharge ni Dami at pina process na ang discharge papers n'ya. I'm running late on my work but I'm sure it's not so bad right? I've been a good employee for his company.

Papasok ako sa kuwarto ng marinig ang masayang boses ng anak ko. "Yehey finally makaka pag school na!" Then he suddenly pause. "Yaya? Do you think Mom loves me?" I was taken aback at his curious question. Why would my son question my love for him? Am I not showing it enough? Does he feel unlove?

"Ay jusko bata! Op kors! Why ask?" Tanong pa ni ate Anna. Instead of being sad I suddenly giggle at her voice speaking English. Ah ate. "I mean I know she loves me, she works because of me right? But she's always out! But I really understand it's for me because she loves me!" I sighed then knock on the door before entering.

"Is my baby ready to leave?!" My son is on his pajamas. Naka upo ito sa kama at yakap ang teddy bear nito. Si ate Anna naman ay busy sa pag tutupi ng mga damit. "Yes Mimi! I want to see my classmates already! And play!" Mga bata talaga.

My son is my only light in my darkest. My one and only man. I can't take it if I lose him. I could die.

Pag ka uwi ay nag pa hinga na ang dalawa ako naman ay dumeretso sa trabaho. I'm actually half hour late. I know it was so unprofessional to make my client wait but he should understand. Anak naman nya yon. But of course I won't tell.

We never really had the chance to clear things out before. Masyado akong magulo na siguro kahit sinabi at nilinaw na nya ay wala akong ma intindihan. My mind was clouded.

I left without telling everyone but Jeremy. He helped me out through the years and I'm so thankful to know and have him in our life.

"Uh I'm really really sorry-"

"Let's just start. I don't have much time now. I want it done immediately." Eros cut me off. Napalabi ako at bahagyang napatitig sa kan'ya saglit. He was like this even before to his employees. I sighed heavily and just smile to light things up. I handed him and others the handouts.

Sina ayos ko ang laptop ko at pumunta sa files kung nasaan ang designs. Pero sa malas ay ibang flash drive ang na isaksak ko kaya...

"Mimi! I want I cweam! And nuts?"

"Huh? Didn't I tell you?" My son pouted.

"Okay, Damian can't eat nuts."

Naka connect na rin pala sa projector, what the fck! The adorable vid of my son played and everyone laugh. Pero hindi s'ya. He look at it seriously. Para bang nanghuhula o gumagawa ng kung ano sa utak n'ya. Kaya bago pa man s'ya mag isip ng kung ano ay hinugot ko ang flash drive at humingi ng pa umanhin.

Ngayon ay hindi na ako maka tingin sa kan'ya. My son looks like him, they shared the same color of eyes and it's not so hard to believe he is his son. But I wish he won't suspect like that right? Mabilis ko namang na alis yon eh?

"A-ahh... Sorry 'bout that. Uh, should we start?" I cleared my throat and started. Presented my presentation flawlessly kahit pa kabadong kabado na ako. "In that way, we can ensure our clients safety. It's not cheap and it's not too expensive. Just the average but good and high quality."

"I agree with Architect. As an engineer for like 45 years I can assure you that Architect Ruiz's idea is good." They all turned to the head engineer.

Then Drake stood up and look at everyone. "Anything more? How about you Mr. Ramazzotti? Anymore? Addition? Any suggestions? Or something?" Napatingin tuloy ako sa gawi nito. He just stared Infront then nodded slowly. Napa buga ako ng malalim na hininga. Hope he didn't notice that. Gosh my son looks like him very well! Nag iwas ako ng tingin at ngumiti sa ilang kasamahan.

"Yes, but can you give me a minute? I want to discuss something with Architect Ruiz." Kumunot ang noo ni Drake. Pero tumango naman na ng walang alinlangan. Then he looked at me coldly. Lalo tuloy akong kinabahan. Ang tanga tanga ko naman na kase! Everyone offered their hands to the man for a hand shake. Hindi pa man din nakaka labas lahat ay...

"How old is he?" I was taken aback. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung lalabas ako o magtatago o magsasabi? I even saw their curious looks. Peke akong na ubo at pilit na ngumiti. I even chuckled to ease the fucking tension but it didn't help. Mas nag mukha akong guilty. Why didn't I think right?

"Im sure that's none of your business-"

"He is my child. Isn't he?" Napa atras ako ng humakbang to palapit sa akin. His dark face screaming danger. Para bang hindi ako maka hinga sa sikip. I cannot explain. His eyes looks mad. I'm sure he's mad. He's like a predator ready for his prey. Wala ako makalap na salita. "W-why... H-how did you..."

"Are you kidding me? The child looks like me! He looks exactly like me! Damn it! That child is mine!" Para akong sinabuyan ng malamig na tubig sa narinig. Naninigas sa kinatatayuan at nag iinit ang dalawang sulok ng mata. "N-no..." Pretty liar. Deny pa. He knows it already! For heaven sake!

"Tell me the truth please..." He said almost pleading. Ngayon ay malumanay na ang kanina lang ay galit n'yang mga mata. I then burst in to tears. Patuloy ako sa pag luha, halos manlabo na ang paningin. "Please tell me, because I'm going crazy, Samantha. The truth!"

Tumango ako at pinunasan ang luha gamit ang likod ng kamay. "Y-yes..."

"Yes he is!" Mariin s'yang napa pikit nang marinig 'yon. "He is five. He just turned five l-last month..." Nanghihina ang tuhod ko at konti na lang ata ay bibigay na ako. But I felt him held my elbow. He then rested his head on my shoulder. I sniffed as I smelled his perfume. Still the same huh? "Hmm?"

"He has g-green eyes. He is allergic with nuts like you... H-he, he loves painting. Sketching and designing."

"Hmm, talents from you huh?"

I cried more. Umahon s'ya, at saka pinunasan ang luhang nasa pisngi ko. We never got close like this ever since. "Let's go, skip work today please. I wanna see him! Let's talk more hmm? Some private place please."

"His name is Damian Yoel Ruiz."
