An Honest Mistake

Chapter 29

Chapter 29 - Make it happen

Pinanood ko mula dito sa maliit na bintana sa pinto ng kwarto ni Laurine kung paano mag-usap yung mag-ama. Theon has his both hands on Laurine's end of the bed habang kinakausap si Laurine while our daughter is attentively listening to him.

"Freya, sorry talaga." Ani Donna kaya napatingin ako sa kanya. "Hindi ko alam na sinundan ako ni Sir. Theon. Nagulat na lang ako na nasa parking lot na siya."

Hindi ako umimik at pinabayaan mag-paliwanag si Donna. 

"A-ano... Binantaan niya kasi ako na tatanggalan niya ko ng trabaho kapag hindi ko sinabi yung totoo eh alam mo namang hindi pa kami nagkakabalikan ni Sean." Saad nito.

Napairap ako sa ginawa ni Theon. Of course he could do that. He's the fucking CEO of the company we're working in!

Bumuntong hininga ako at inalis ang pagkakahalukipkip ko. "It's alright, Donna. I understand. It's bound to happen anyway." Sagot ko.

Napaupo ako sa hilera ng upuan dito sa tabi ng pinto ng kwarto ni Laurine. Ang daming nangyari this whole week and it's stressing me out. I can't help but close my eyes as I remember Theon's look when he saw me and Lawrence.

"Kaya ba hindi mo magawang magpakita sakin, Freya? Because you didn't end things with Lawrence?" Mariing tanong ni Theon sakin.

He was smirking while talking. Hindi na ko sumagot. I don't actually understand kung bakit ganoon ang iniisip niya. Is it because of what he just witnessed? 

"She did end things with me, Theon." Cool na sagot ni Lawrence.

"Shut up!" Sigaw ni Theon na nagpa-igtad sakin. He's damn furious!

Tinuro ni Theon si Lawrence at akmang lalapit nang harangin ko siya. Hinawakan ko si Theon sa dibdib niya para pigilan siya sa paglapit kay Lawrence. For fuck's sake, nasa ospital kami! He's the CEO of a powerful telecommunications company at hindi siya dapat nagawa ng eksena dito!

"You fucking had your chance and now you're stealing mine?" Marahas na sabi ni Theon. He harshly removed my hands at itinabi ako.

Lalapitan pa sana ako ni Lawrence pero naitulak agad siya ni Theon. Nilapitan ko ulit si Theon para pigilan siya. My daughter is inside that hospital room and I don't want to wake her up with all this ruckus, her father is starting.

"I'm stealing yours?" Kunot-noong tanong ni Lawrence. Nagulat ako nang ituro niya ko saka siya nagsalita ulit. "Fucking tell that to your wife!"

"Lawrence!" Tawag ko rito.

He looked at me with his brows furrowed habang dahan-dahan akong umiling sa kanya. I mouthed 'No' pero inilingan niya lang rin ako.

"She's not my wife." Sagot ni Theon.
