Chapter 37: Chapter 37
I heard Jayar's big and heavy steps on the stairs. I glanced at him, he didn't seem to be in a good mood. Do I really care? He no longer cared about my feelings.
It took him almost half an hour before he said goodbye to me. If Jai hadn't come to me and looked so hungry, Esan probably wouldn't have left.
"Isn't that your friend Mommy?" Jai asked. I carried him to the kitchen.
"Yes, Mommy's friend." I pinched his nose.
"What's the name?"
My little angel is really ugly. Lots of questions. I told him the name and he nodded.
The food is ready on the table. The only thing missing, Jayar. The maid called the man but he did not come down. Jai and I ate first. If he doesn’t want to eat, he’ll take care of it. That's okay, I can't see him. But I was wrong. He went down but did not eat. He just turned to the boy and said goodbye to it.
“Join us Daddy. Mom prepare this for you. ”
“I’m full. I had lunch outside. Bye, son. ”
"Bye Daddy!"
I felt frustrated when he didn’t even look back at me and give a goodbye kiss on the cheek that he always does. I scolded myself. Don't be too stupid. My taste buds!
"MOMMY, why isn't Dad here yet?"
I turned to Jai. It was eight o'clock in the evening and he was waiting at the door. Waiting for the man.
“Maybe busy at work. Come here Jai, Let’s go to your room and sleep. ” I waved and he approached.
"I'll take her to Ate's room," Mela presented.
I just shook my head and told him to rest and I would take Jai upstairs. First, he refused because he said he would wait for his Daddy but when he had a series of drowsiness attacks, I also agreed with him.
After telling him the bedtime story, he fell asleep soundly. I spent a few more hours in his room before I decided to go out.
Exactly when I opened the door, Jayar was exposed in front of me. I was struck by his startling presence. I bowed my head and begged to pass.
"Are you afraid?"
He smells of alcohol. He was like that last night. I was slightly backward.
"Are you with Esan?"
I looked up. What? Is he jealous? He was in a tone of anger and criticism of me. I smiled. He seems to be jealous according to the glitter I can read. Secretly celebrating my mood.
“Let me pass, will you? I'm going to sleep. ” instead of answering his question, I chose to avoid answering it.
"Stay away from him." He suddenly grabbed my arm.
I let go of his grip and took large steps toward my bedroom. I was happy to see that he was affected when Esan visited me. But I was just surprised when he suddenly appeared and pulled my arm. I did not expect him to convert me and greeted my lips with a heartfelt kiss.
I almost held my breath the moment he stopped and stroked my cheek. “I admit, I get damn jealous! Please Kiera, don't make me suffer like this. ”
Napaawang ako. Am I dreaming? If it's a dream, I don't want to wake up. The sweetness of feeling that I could see he was jealous. I'm probably the most beautiful woman in the world.
What can I tell him? Again, he covered my pitying mouth, as if begging him to kiss me again. And this time, it’s aggressive. Marubdob. Seems to be looking for an answer from me. He was not disappointed because I responded to it the way he did.
We kissed for a long time in the hallway. He hugged me tightly. As I clung to his neck. God! I'm addicted to her kisses. In the moments that followed, I could no longer remember where and whose room we entered. I also don't remember my body being completely exposed when I fell on the bed. I quickly covered my nakedness but he promptly stopped me.
"You're so beautiful Kiera." He stared at my whole body exposed to his eye.
He eagerly touched my two breasts. I was shocked that he did that. He killed all my sanity. My mind and heart seemed like a team that didn’t want to function at those times. I had no other desire for that moment, but to own and be the slave of the man I once promised in my dream I would love. It's up to tomorrow.
He worshiped my body. Caressed and touched. I felt crazy when his lip slowly descended to the lowest part of my being. I could hardly breathe at the delicious sensation of the end of it.
When he had finished worshiping, he stood up and finally let go of all his restraint. I was swallowed. First time seeing something like this. And I admit, it was big. I felt fear. But before I could think soberly, he again sneered at `kin and lined our bodies.
"I love you."
My heart was celebrating. Any fear I felt was gone forever. I slowly closed my eyes. And I will let time take me. Until I feel the hard thing struggling to enter my world. I was overwhelmed. It hurts. I can't help but cry.
"Jayar!" I hugged his back too tightly.
“This is your first ?!” He was stunned for a moment and couldn't believe he looked at me.
I bit my lower lip. I could not answer his question. I just met his gaze and begged to continue what had begun. He understood what I meant. Then it was too late to retreat from the love dance that had begun.
This time he was very careful in moving. I could feel that he was careful not to hurt me too much. I've given up. I gave everything for the man I didn’t know if I really loved. If what he said about loving me is true.
Moments later, the pain and agony were gone. That was replaced by a tickling sensation until we both reached the climax.
Our bodies sweat so much apart. I hugged him and watched his face. He is now close with a smile on his face.
I bit my lip. Rich tears began to flow into my eyes. How I love this man so much. I squeezed her side and hugged her very tightly. I want to let him know how much I love him despite all that he is committed to. When I was exhausted and drowsy. I finally fell asleep hugging him.
MY BODY hurt when I opened my eyes the next day. Especially in the most central part. But before I could open my eyes completely, I stared at the man next to me. He is not here.
I quickly woke up and got up. He is gone. I looked at the clock on the side table, it was noon. I rolled my eyes. Then I realized it wasn’t my room. It belongs to Jayar. His room was very manly. Full of paintings and glassware. Triple the size of my room.
I stared at the large portrait of him hanging to one side. I guess, he's fourteen years old here. Even in the photo, he is still stuck in the former.
I stumbled out of the room and immediately went to me. Jai must be wondering why I’m not in the room. Every morning because he wakes me up with his meanness.
My demeanor that day was lively. Even though my body hurts, I can clearly see the strange fun while preparing lunch. I knew Jayar was going home because he called the helpers earlier to come home and have lunch here.
I don’t care if he wonders why he was the first man to go through my life. I'm just going to invent the story of why I adopted the child, why I pretended. What he should not know, he is Jai's nephew and this is his brother's son.
I looked at my wristwatch, the man would be coming soon. I made that day beautiful. also put on make-up. I want to be attractive in his sight. I wore a simple dress but my true beauty was still outside.
"Daddy!"
I smiled. The man has arrived. I checked my clothes first before I went out. But I was so shocked to see that he was with a very beautiful woman and holding her arm.
Suddenly I recoiled. I don’t know what these moments will do. I just stared at Jayar and my presence with him seemed to matter.
"So this is what you put on?" The woman was looking at me as she artfully raised an eyebrow at me.
I felt pain. I didn’t expect to see the woman who owned him. I thought he loved me. I thought ... But that's it, I thought wrong.
The corner of my eye heats up. Before my tears were about to fall, I quickly turned around and went to the kitchen. I don’t care if I did something rude.
"Daddy, your friend?"
I heard Jai ask.
“No baby, I’m your Daddy’s special someone. I’m your Tita Chilsea. ”
I could no longer hold back my tears. It traveled freely in my face. It was as if heaven and earth had fallen on me. It hurts!
“Mommy! Mommy! ”
I quickly wiped away my tears and faced Jai. He approached me with a smile. He immediately grabbed my hand and pulled.
"W-wait!"
"Let's go Dad." He pulled me away. If only he knew what was in my heart.
I took a deep breath. I have to accept it and face it. Jai held my hand as he introduced me to Jayar and the woman named Chilsea. Although it hurt me to see them, I tried to cope. I looked at Jayar straight to the eye. I wonder why anger and hatred I see in its sparkle. I do not understand.
Is he angry? Is he angry and because he is the first man in my life? Or should I be the one to get angry because he lied to get my property as a woman?
JAYAR’S P.O.V.
I was so shocked when I found out I was still the man who entered Kiera’s world. I couldn’t understand what that would feel like. Excitement, fear, confusion and anger. Mixed.
This is probably what I read in his eyes that he was hiding something. He is hiding the real Kiera. She pretended to have a child and left. I don’t know why he did that. Somehow I admire what he did. It was as if she had made Jai a test for men to see if anyone would like her if she had already given birth. And he did not fail. I liked him despite having Jai in his life.
After what happened to us, we both fell asleep. I decided in those moments that I would talk to him about what and who he really was the next day before my detective reported. But I have an urgent meeting so I can't wait for him to wake up. I decided to go into the office and talk to him later. I was done with my urgent meeting when Chilsea came to my office.
She is an international model and one of those with large shares their family in our company. She is half Filipina and grew up in the Philippines but when she models, she is always based in another country. We met through her father who was my business deal before. I will admit a lot has happened to Chilsea and me.
I was surprised at his arrival. I didn’t feel excited. Maybe I just changed in his presence.
About that time, the detective I had ordered came to my office. He was carrying a brown envelope containing information. Here I found out that Yeeny Samonte is gone. It's dead. But her son was left in the care of her friend Kiera Antonio. His female friend at the convent.
I was surprised by what I read and learned from the detective. I can't figure it out. I was suddenly confused. My head heats up and I clench my fist. The heat of my head increased even more when I saw the picture of the two women. The two are now friends. Next is the photo of Kiera and Jai.
That's why I'm relieved of the child. He’s my niece. But what I don't understand is why Kiera didn't tell me that Jai is my nephew. I knew he knew my nephew the boy but he hid the truth. That's why the boy's father mistaken me. It was impossible that he did not know that Ermel and I were brothers. They are female friends. I'll take the child. I'll take it and take it to the States.
"Daddy," Jai whispered to me.
We were at the dining table by that time and eating. My fiance and I were next to each other and they were next to the child.
"Yes?"
“Can I go to school?”
I saw Kiera turn to him.
"Yes you can but in the States, son." my tough response.
Kiera looked at me in surprise with questioning eyes. Damn! If he acted like he didn't know everything. I averted my gaze and faced the food.
"Honey who cooked this?" Chilsea asked me. I don't think he liked the taste of the prepared food.
“My Mommy Tita. Why? ” Jai's innocent question.
“That's why it tastes bad. The cook is also ugly. ” He stood up and raised an eyebrow at Kiera before he looked at me. “Hon, where is your room? I will stay there first. ”
“Why are you staying there? Mommy and Daddy can't be next to each other in bed, so you should also be in the other room, Tita. ”
"Of course they shouldn't be side by side because—"
“Come here Jai. You’re done, aren’t you? ” Kiera immediately stood up and picked up the child.
KIERA’S P.O.V
I quickly picked up the child and carried him to his room. He is still very innocent. He did not know what was really going on. I could barely swallow the food before. I cooked but I lost my appetite.
"Why does Tita stay in Dad's room, Mommy?" Jai asked later.
I stroked her hair and kissed her on the forehead. "Baby listen to me, just ignore him, okay?"
"But why?"
I took a deep breath. Trying to ease my chest began to tighten. How do I explain this? Where do I start? Hopefully, I was ready.
"Do you want us to take a walk later?" I change the subject.
His face lit up and he agreed. “All right! I want to take a walk on the playground. ”
I nodded and hugged him very tightly. I hope I can handle it. We just left Jai's room when I saw from the window that Jayar's car had left. Tears slowly trickled down my eyes. It hurts!
As I promised my son, we went for a walk. This time, it was just the two of us. In the past, the three of us were together like a family every week. Jayar visits Jai and sometimes he takes me with him. Eat out, go to the playground and sometimes enter the amusement park.
My mood is hard now. I can't understand why I'm so stupid. I was stunned by love. I was amazed at how I felt! I have nothing more to be proud of myself. Gone. But hopefully, he confronted me about why he was angry or what. I will not take him to his Chilsea. I just want him to be honest. I just want to know why after he took me, it's like I'm a rag that I shouldn't look back at. One that was Montevidad. Heartless!
At the convent we stayed with Jai. Here, my mood becomes peaceful when I see the happy smiles of the children and the kind Sisters. I brought chocolates and candy to the kids. Jai is the one I gave.
“It's good that you visited here again, Kiera. It's been almost a long time since you last visited here with Jai. ” smiling Mother Fe's suggestion.
Never, ever did I forget I was from the convent. Here, I had a family. Although I wanted to visit the convent where Yeeny and I grew up, I did not have enough money to go home to the Visayas.
"There was just a little problem, Mother," I said sparingly.
“Just in times of trouble and trial, do not hesitate to approach our almighty God. Kiera was the only one there. Just say his name and he will help you. ”
I nodded. Mother's really smart. I didn't make a mistake in deciding that Jai and I would visit here. It took us late at night when we got home. We were late because of the kids playing and talking. Add to that the traffic on the road.
