WISH UPON A STORM (Montenegro Series #2)

Chapter 19

Dakota's POV.

"Wife? Mommy ni Elle?" Hazel asked.

We we're interrupted when my phone started ringing.

Lumayo ako sa kanila at lumabas ng restaurant dahil akala ko kung sino iyon. Grab driver pa lang na in-schedule ko to pick me up, he said he will be on his way na kaya siguradong sakto lang pagkatapos naming kumain lahat.

I don't wanna stay here. Pakiramdam ko ay nasu suffocate ako. Dinala ko na lang sana ang kotse ko.

Saglit akong sumilip sa loob, kung saan tanaw ko si Elle. She is an adorable child, I just somehow felt a pang of pain in my chest pero I am already loving her, afterall pamangkin ko pa rin naman sya.

Anak sya ng kapatid ko at ng lalaking dating minamahal ko. What an irony.

Hindi na ako masyadong sumilip pa, afraid to catch a glimpse of Storm.

"You won't see me there"

Kusang nagtayuan ang balahibo ko ng marinig ko sya sa likod ko. I slowly turned to face him, only to find out na napakalapit namin sa isa't isa. Too close that I was able to smell the soap he used.

I took a step back.

"What the hell, ano bang ginagawa mo dyan sa likod ko?" inis kong tanong sa kanya.

"I wanted to talk to you"

"Ano ba, talk na naman? Nag usap na tayo ha" I was trying to contain my voice, ayokong marinig ng mga tao sa loob na nag uusap kami.

Kahit si Hazel nga ay ayokong malaman nyang kilala ko si Storm.
Ang alam kasi ni Hazel ay ulila ako, nagka chance makapag abroad and you know I was striving to survive.

"That was five years ago Dakota" he said in a serious tone. "Nagawa mong sabihin lahat ng gusto but I didn't get the chance to say mine"

"I am not interested Dalfon Storm"

"I'll make you interested Dakota Heather"

Napahinto ako, ano bang nakain nito at ang kulit?

"We are done, wala ng saysay ang pag uusap natin, and please stop calling me wife or whatever, may sayad ka ba? Nandyan yung anak mo, ano na lang sasabihin sakin ng kapatid ko?"

"That's why we need to talk"

"Talk to your wife" sabi ko. He probably married her anyway. Bakit pa ba ako nilalandi nito?

Nilalandi agad? Ano ba naman tong nasa utak ko.

"That's why I am talking to you"

"Ano ba? Niloloko mo ba ko?"

"You said talk to your wife, ikaw ang asawa ko Dakota, who else would I talk to?"

Ilang segundo akong napatitig sa kanya.

"You got to be kidding me, you got to be kidding me" sabi ko habang humahawak sa noo ko.

"You should've known that annulment don't work that way in here, not because you sent and sign in, it means I need to do the same"

Pinigilan kong suntukin ang dibdib nya.

"You are an asshole, I spent so much money for that!"

"Then I'll pay you back, let's just talk"

I rolled my eyes.

"Oh my goodness, bakit hindi ko finollow up, ang tanga ko" I said to myself. "Makakasuhan pa ako kung hindi mo sinabi sakin"
