TILL FATE DO US PART (Fate Series #1)

KABANATA 43

-THANK YOU-

"Masama bang batiin ko ang anak ko, Lourina?" mahinahon nitong sagot.

"Wala akong sinasabing ganoon. Ang punto ko dito ay huwag kang manggugulo!" Mama's voice was about to crack.

"Don't worry. Hindi ko na naman kayo guguluhin niyang kabit mo" he exclaimed.

"Hindi ko siya kabit! Dahil kailanman hindi kita minahal"

He was about to hurt Mama, pero napigilan iyon ni Papa at Tito Nat.

"Tito Benjamin! Please STOP!" I shouted. I can't take this anymore, he can't hurt my Mom!

"Dad, please don't ruin my party" hinarangan ni Kuya si Tito Ben para hindi ito makalapit kay Mama.

"Son, I swear I'm here just to give you my greetings. I don't have a plan to ruin everything" his eyes were sad. "I miss you. I'm all alone there, please forgive me for everything"

"Also, I want to apologise to you, Loureene. I'm regretting all of it, dahil nang nawala kayo? Nawala na rin ang anak ko" nakikinig lang kami sa kanya.

"Yes I'm not a good husband, I know that. But please let me prove myself that I can be a good father to you"

You can judge him as a man but you can't judge him as a father

"Isang araw lang ako dito. Babalik rin ako bukas sa US kaya wala kayong dapat ipag-alala"

Nagyakapan ang mag-ama. Alam kong namimiss na rin ni Kuya si Tito Ben.

"Happy Birthday, Son!" akma na siyang aalis kaso pinigilan ni Kuya ito.

"You have your place to stay? You can sleep here tonight since tomorrow is your flight"

That words made him smile. "If that's okay with them?"

Tumango si Mama, kaya ganoon na din ako.

Pinili ko nalang umalis doon sa lugar na iyon, hindi ko pa rin alam sa sarili ko kung mapapatawad ko pa siya o napatawad ko na siya.

"Hey, honey?" nag-aalalang tawag ni Vaughn.

Iza held my hand and pulled me away from there. I didn't know what to do. I'm scared, yes. But I pity him.

"Shh, don't cry" she let me sit on the chair.

Naiwan namin sina Vaughn doon nang nagtatanong. Alam ko namang susundan din nila kami.

Unang dumating si Alja. "It's alright, don't be scared" she also hugged me.

Their presence is all I need right now. I just wanted to get away from him.

Vaughn came to us with my Mom. I immediately stood up so I could come to her.

"Ayos na ang lahat anak, huwag ka nang matakot" her comfort is the best.

Ipinaintindi sa akin ni Mama ang sitwasyon na mayroon kami. Maraming salamat sa Diyos dahil sa wakas ito'y natapos na!

A father doesn't have to contend with his children as equals. Instead, he teaches them about life and living in the world. For what I have seen, the bad husbands can also be amazing Father because they find it easier to fulfill the role.

Actually, Tito Ben didn't do anything wrong, because he was just covered in selfishness and envy. If you'll take a look at it, all of the wealth he has belongs to Kuya Herron. He loves his son so much and get will do anything for him.
