CHAPTER 40: WHEN HE TALKS

***********

CHANTAL's POV

"Please babe. Please forgive me and please give me a chance. I promise I won't screw it up. Just please, a chance. I'm begging you." Brin said desperately.

"I don't know." I answered still sobbing.

"Please babe just this one" my face is buried on his chest tears streaming down my face.

Suddenly, I heard a faint sound that's getting louder and louder. It was my son. "Mom, mom" he shouted. I hurriedly wipe my tears away. I don't want Linden to see me like this.

"Why honey?" I face him as I manage to control my sobs and put a smile on my face.

He frowned. "What's wrong mom?" he asked as a crease form on his cute little forehead. "Nothing honey. Why'd you say so?" I acted as if nothing happen.

"Did you cry mom? Tell me, did he make you cry?" he said as he point a finger to Brin. I was about to answer when he cut me off. "Don't lie mom." He said like a mature man as he put his hands on his waist.

"Oh no, no honey" I look at Brin. Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang ekspresyong bualantay sa mukha niya. Para siyang masaya na nasasabik na malungkot na natatakot at kinakabahan. Hindi ko maipaliwanag. Napakaraming ekspresyon ang ipinapakita niya.

Kung sana ibang sitwasyon lang kami siguro kanina pa ako natawa dahil sa kanya. But sad to say, we're not.

Ibinalik ko sa anak ko ang tingin ko saka lumuhod para makapantay ang height niya.

"Li-linden..." Brin called na nagpaangat ng tingin ko sa kanya. "A-anak I-im s-sorry." he said while tears are streaming down his face. Bumaling ako sa ibang direksyon para hindi makita ang mukha niya. Natutunaw ang galit ko dahil sa mga ekspresyon niya.

Seeing him vulnerable is breaking my heart too. And I have to fight my urge to run to him and hug him.

Akma niyang hahawakn si Linden when our son yelled. "Don't touch me. I hate you. You made my mommy cry. I hate you." He yelled so loud na nakapagpabalik ng tingin ko kay brin.

He was astonished. He was caught off guard. Even I didn't expect my child to shout like that and more importantly not to his father. I was shocked.

"Go away. We don't need you." That bring me back. Tinignan ko siya saka ko tinignan ang mukha ni Brin. Bumadha ang lungkot at pagsisisi sa kanyang mukha. I pity him. I do.

"Linden, you should not talk to him like that." Sabi ko sa anak ko. I know my son is possessive and very protective but what he did is beyond that. And I won't tolerate my son's action. Yes I'm mad at Brin but I don't hate him. I just can't.

"It's okay Chantal. It's my fault anyway. Don't scold him" mapangunawang sabi ni Brin saka ako nginitian ng pilit at puno ng pait. "but..." he cut me off.

"It's okay. I deserve it anyway." I saw my son smirked with what he said. "I-I think I have to go. Let's talk some other time." He said as he take his turn to leave.

"Yeah you better go and never come back" I heard my son mumbled and I am sure Brin heard it too. I squinted my eyes over Linden but he just shrugged.
