Chapter 31: Chapter 31

Twaine's Point of View :

"Are you really leaving again for real?" Ana asked sadly. I smiled at her and hugged her tightly.

"Yes. It's only a few days and my daughter's class will start again, so, yeah, we're leaving." Ana just frowned at my answer and then A.M. was the one she planned to hug and kiss.

"Always take care there, Twaine." Jeremy told me with a smile.

"We will," I answered before taking A.M to Ana.

"We will miss you, Twaine." they both said.

“I’ll always call you when I’m not busy.” I happily told them. The two of them just hugged me.

Today was our flight going back to Canada. Clyde is supposed to be back next Sunday that's why he can't come with us now. I grab A.M's hand and started walking when I heard someone's calling my name.

"TWAINE!" His loud shout stopped and startled me. What is he doing here? Why is he here? I kept asking questions in my mind.

"Wait up!" He was still gasping to get close to us. Even Ana and Jeremy were surprised by Kyle's sudden appearance here at the airport.

"What are you doing?" I frowned asking him after he took my daughter in my hand.

"I knew it," he said like a fool as he hugged my daughter tightly.

"Kyle! What do you think you're doing?" I asked him angrily. Who wouldn't be annoyed if he suddenly appeared here, right? And yet, what is happening to him? Earlier, he hugged my daughter while A.M. was obvious on her face who was also confused by what Kyle was doing.

"Baby.." I was stunned after I witnessed Kyle’s successive tears. Suddenly my chest throbbed, I can't explain how I feel now. Doesn't he already know about our daughter?

"W-who are you?" My daughter asked him a confused question.

"I—" Kyle did not continue what he wanted to say but turned to me as if asking why I was able to hide from him about his daughter.

"Why, Twaine?" He was calmly asking me questions. I felt guilty as I stared at him in his face. It seemed like a big mistake that I did hiding the truth from him.

"I'm sorry.." I mentioned. I just found myself crying.

"I'm your Dad," He confessed to my daughter. I just closed my eyes while just looking at the two of them.

"Mommy," My daughter calls me. She also forced herself to squeeze my knees.

"Baby, come to Tita..." A.M quickly approached Ana, Kyle and I moved a little away.

"You don't really intend to admit the truth to me? Are you really that mad at me Twaine to deprive me of my daughter as well?" He asked me one question after another. I don’t know how I’m going to start. I don’t know what I will answer first to his questions.

"Twaine, why did you do this to me? What's wrong with me? Don't I deserve to know about my daughter?"

"Twaine, answer me, please!" I was shocked when he started raising his voice. He also slowly knelt down in front of me which I didn’t expect him to do. Many eyes are just looking at us.

"Kyle, stand there!" I said softly to him.

"No, as long as you don't answer my questions..." he said.

"Fine! I don't want to hide the truth from you but— I was hurt so much and I'm afraid of being hurt again."

“I’m used to being alone, Kyle, I’m used to being just the two of us, me and my daughter. I was scared, Kyle, I became a coward."

"I'm afraid that when I tell you about our daughter, the same thing will happen again,"

"But I've changed," he replied that made me laughed.

"Really? You've changed? Then, why did you left Sofia? Why didn't you stand up for her?" I asked.

"Because you're back. I thought we could still fix our relationship once I broke up," he replied.

"I'm sorry," I just said.

"No, it's not your fault. It's not your fault, I'm to blame for this. I understand why you did this." He kept saying that I was shocked. Is this really him?

"How did you know?" I asked confused.

"I have my ways, Twaine." he answered.

"Okay, now that you already knew... can we leave now? We'll be late for our flight," I said as if nothing had happened.

"No! Do you think I'll be allowing you to be away from me, again—and our daughter?" My eyes becomes bigger after hearing those words from him.

"But..."

"No more buts, Twaine." He said as if he's the boss.

"Kyle! A.M is studying there, my job is there too!" I told him angrily.

"Then, I'm coming with you." He smiled in response. I was dumbfounded by what he said.

As in for real?
