Chapter 38: Chapter 38
I quietly stepped into the house. I carried the child because I think he had run out of energy to play with the other children before. I found out from Jayar’s security guard guarding the gate, that the man had arrived earlier.
I was exactly entering when I saw Chilsea wrapped around Jayar's neck and seemingly huddled in the middle of the house. Even though I was affected, I just pretended to be insignificant.
I no longer disturbed them with exposure. Jai was fine and asleep. But the child will be surprised and I will have a hard time explaining.
"Where have you been?"
I paused for a moment. Jayar noticed me. I didn’t answer and I continued to step towards the stairs.
“Aba! Who is acting! ” let Chilsea hear me.
I pretended not to hear that. I just kept going. I didn't look at them and I might get hurt.
Tears automatically fell in my eyes when I laid Jai down on his bed. I kissed his forehead and leaned over him. Here I will spend the night next to the child.
"For you son, for you I can handle it. I know you will not be allowed to leave this house. I know you don't want to be away from your recognized father. But hopefully baby, you can feel the pain I feel. I hope you can feel my heart ache. I hope you can feel that I am enduring. ” I was sobbing all the time. I wish I hadn’t loved the man and our paths hadn’t met. I would never have suffered like this.
When I was stunned. I remember what Jayar said to the child. In the States he will educate Jai. Anxiously I glanced at my soundly sleeping son. Could he already know the truth? Did he know that his nephew could afford the child?
No. All he knew was that I was a virgin when he took me. As a child, he knew nothing. I decided to go to sleep. I need to rest my mind and body with a knock.
Jayar is on the outside. His voice was angry and full of command for me to open the door. I did not budge. I just stayed focused on it. I have no plans to open that. He noticed that I didn't want to open it, he also stopped knocking. I took a deep breath and stared blankly.
Although my heart ached when I woke up the next day, I still showed enthusiasm in front of the child. The man left early. According to Mela, there is something to be done. But his woman, left. Left to spend my day.
"I already know who you are." Chilsea raised an eyebrow as she said that.
Jai was watching a cartoon movie in the living room and I was cooking with the kitchen helpers. I will prepare for Jai and me. The helpers, on the other hand, seemed confused but just kept quiet and pretended not to care about the surroundings.
"Fortunately, I decided to follow my fiance here in the Philippines."
Fiance? I felt fun. They are not yet married to the man. But it also immediately disappeared in the mind that even if they are not married, I still can't get Jayar because this woman is the one he really loves. It owns his heart.
"I bet, he wouldn't be hurt if Jay took the child away from him?"
My grip on the knife tightened. The man already knew something, as did his witch. I cut meat but I might not be able to control myself, I cut his tongue. I don't like the shape of his tongue.
“Oh my! You can go shopping now. Hmp! ” he artistically walked away.
I took a deep breath as he walked away. But I cut out his tongue. I just focused my attention on cooking.
After we ate baby, we went out and looked for pre-school. He wants to study so I will give him what he wants. That's a good thing we didn't have to spend the whole day in this house as a child. Jai was overjoyed when I admitted him to pre-school. My son is smart so I know he can. Using the money that Esan gave me then, I used it to buy the child's school supplies.
I promise, it's time for Jayar to take Jai from me, we will leave and we will leave. It's up to me if I hurt the child's feelings. Jai and I were on our way home and were waiting for a passenger car when Esan passed us. He was in his car.
"Kiera?" smiling he looked out the window and was glad we met. "Where are you? Your son will take you. ”
I refused but he got out of his car. Opened and led inside. He was still a gentleman and kind. How come I wasn’t even able to turn my love to the man in front of us now and driving. How come and I still fell in love with Jayar so much. I'm a fool.
"Do you have a problem?" he glanced at me in the review mirror.
I smiled and shook my head. "Nothing."
While my son was having fun sight seeing outside the window.
“I know you have a problem, Kiera. Tell me, I'm ready to listen. ”
I'm secretive napabuntunghinga. "W-why didn't you come in?" I change the subject.
“I’m planning to visit you. It's a good thing I saw you, ”he felt that I didn't want to speak so he just respected me.
He did not direct us to the house. Instead, he took us for lunch with Jai at an expensive restaurant. He also carried the child like his child and held my hand. I can't take that back because I feel that he respects me as a woman. The waiter and I even got confused. The cute raw of our two children. I secretly laughed there.
As before, Esan is still alert when it comes to me. He took good care of me and the child. Alas, I gave him an excuse before but he backed away. Then Jayar came our way. Today, Esan came back and accepted that I had a child. But this is my heart problem. If given the chance, I will only love Esan. If only the heart could be taught.
I was very full when we left there. When maybe we're always together, I won't be surprised if I get fat.
"Where do you want to go baby?" When he asked Jai while carrying it.
"Let's ride the carousel Tito!" Jai answered quickly. I guess it's easy for them to get along. This angel of mine is friendly.
“Jai baby, it's not possible. Tito Ermel still has work. ”
“What are you Kiera. This is my chance to be with you. ”
"But ..."
“Please? I want you two to be with me. ”
Save the smile from me. Why not? Jai and I have nothing to do at home. I can only pay for the artistic woman out there who you think is beautiful. Well infact, she’s really beautiful. It's full of lipstick. Looks like there's a club to attend.
“Mommy please? I love to ride horse with Tito Ermel. Will you, Mom, please? ” Jai pouts lips and puppy eyes.
"Please Mommy?" Esan imitated the boy's voice.
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. They look cute two. It looks like they will team up by chance. My only answer was yes and the man immediately took us to the amusement park.
I happily watched the two as they rode the carousel. Esan is leaning behind Jai and riding a horse. I laughed and shook. How come, he's still in a business suit and he's like a father playing with his son.
It suddenly flashed back to my mind when Jayar and I entered here. They also rode a carousel. The surroundings were very happy and full of laughter. It was nice to watch Jayar smiling. He is even more handsome.
I shook my head. I don't want to think about him. The pity I feel will disappear. Esan waved me to go with them. I refused. But I was also compelled when they got off and pulled me in and got on.
It's like I'm back to childhood. I was so happy and I forgot for a moment the pain that enslaved my personality. Thanks to Esan and he was able to make me laugh on the simple ride.
After the carousel, we took another ride. Laugh here, eat there, play here, rest there. It was night when Esan delivered us. I thanked him and said goodnight before turning to enter the gate. But before that, he took my hand and kissed it.
"Good night to you too Kiera, and thank you." his eyes were pale and I could feel the sincerity in his voice.
I nodded and my son and I went inside. Miracle and his energy has not been exhausted. He was carrying toys from Esan.
Mela immediately greeted me with fear on her face. He took from me the things I bought for the child.
"What happened to you Mela?" I wondered.
"Sir Jayar, Ate."
"Why?"
"Furious. Earlier waiting for Jai. Where did you take the child without letting him know? ” trembling Mela complained to me. I could see in the twinkle of his eye that he was terrified.
I felt angry. Why do I have to say goodbye to him? My son is the child and he has no right where we go. Even if we go to China, he doesn’t care because it’s our child’s life.
If he acted, it was as if he owned us, as if he held our lives. Even though his nephew is Jai, I am more entitled to everything. I raised, nurtured and sacrificed to raise my child well. And because of his worthless brother, so my friend died! And now he will be angry because where did I take my son?
As soon as Jai and I entered, Jayar was standing next to the stairs. He seems to know I'm going straight here. His appearance was dark and he was able to put on his business suit which he had not yet taken off while staring in our direction. I averted my eyes. He has no right to be angry. Because if anyone should be angry here, it's me.
The boy happily ran towards him and told stories the whole day we did. Pero still nothing changed in his expression. I pretended not to see him. I went straight to the stairs even though he was standing there and passed him. I would rather hide in my room than see his face! It only hurts me more.
“Damn! What time is it? Is it right to take the child home at this time! You didn't even say goodbye. ” He gripped my arm tightly.
I looked over there. Then in his eye. If before, I was afraid of this man, now I am not. “Why? Do I have to let you know that my son and I are leaving? ” it came out of my mouth forcefully and resisted him with an evil stare.
He laughed sarcastically. “Son? Is he really your son? ”
I was no longer surprised by what he said. I know she already knows so that’s what her fiance said, ‘isn’t it?
I looked at Jai. I could see the fear in the twinkle of his eye.
"Mela take the child to his room." Mela immediately obeyed his order and loaded it. It hurried up the stairs.
“If you will excuse me Mr. Montevidad, I'm going to sleep, and I don't care if you house it. ” I quickly withdrew my arm and hurried to my room.
He followed me as if he didn't like what I said. In the hallway he reached me and this time, his hand on my arm was so tight that it seemed to be cut.
“All this time, you knew the boy was my nephew but you didn't tell me! Are you that greedy? ”
Sakim? I laughed to myself. Is it greedy for me to hide the truth? I was not surprised when he asked me that. I'm not surprised anymore…
“I’m not greedy Jayar and you know that! If I had been greedy, I would never have let our lives come close to you! If I was greedy, Jai would not be here in your house. Then you will accuse me of being greedy? ” I couldn’t help but cry as I blamed that on him. My feelings are mixed now. Fear, nervousness, anger and pain.
I saw him stunned and stared at me. It took him a long time to speak. "I'll take my niece from you."
I gave him a loud slap. "How could you!" I could no longer control my emotions. “Kukunin? After you took my body, now my son? You are so bad! ”
“She is not your child. She is the daughter of my sister and your friend Yeeny Samonte, Kiera. ”
I smiled bitterly and tears welled up in my eyes like rain. “Because of your brother's pest, my friend died. My God! Are you that rich? Do you think only of yourself? You don’t know how poor people like us feel? Think of yourself, you can move everything. You can maneuver everything, including the human mind. But I hope you can at least think of our feelings, my feelings! I, I raised, nurtured and sacrificed just to raise Jai properly. I have almost nothing left to support him! All my time, I poured into him. Then it looks like you just took him from me? ” I will weep continually before him. I’ve poured out all the pain I feel.
I don’t care if he laughs at me. All I want him to know is that what he is going to do is too much pain for me. I know I have no defense. They are rich and they can buy everything but love can never be bought.
He released me. His earlier dark face was illuminated. He quickly turned around and left me crying. I don’t know how many minutes I stood there. The next thing I did was I packed up.
I hurried over to the boy and he was crying when I arrived. We are leaving. I don't want the time to come when I just wake up without them. I will keep the baby away as soon as possible.
"Mommy!" she cries as she hugs her favorite robot toy. I let Mela out first to talk to Jai.
“Baby, we have to go. We are leaving this house. ” I wiped away my tears. I don't want him to see me defeated.
“But what about Daddy? Please don’t fight anymore. ”
I caressed his face and smiled. “Daddy will take you away from me. He will take you far away. We won’t see each other again, do you want that? ”
She shook her head and wiped away the tears. "I don't want to."
I hugged him tightly. Jayar can't take him away from me. We will both die. I have already packed my son’s equipment. We are leaving. It's up to us where we go. I quickly called Mela and told her that the child was leaving. He just nodded in response and tearfully said goodbye. I was carrying the bag and carrying Jai when I got off. Nothing can stop me from leaving here. But that’s what I thought. Since I had just walked out the door, Jayar was standing outside.
"And now you're leaving?" his form was dark.
I drew a lot of wind and he bravely s inagot. "For the good of my son!"
He laughed heartily and threw the cigarette butt in front of him. Only now have I seen him smoke.
"By doing that, you are giving the Montevidad family more reason to take the child from you. I've changed my mind and if I were you, just stay if you don't want me to take him. Because it's time for you to run away or take the child away, I will forget one night I loved you. ” Then he turned his back on me.
My tears flowed like rain. I was suddenly confused by the last thing he said. One night he loved me? It was love for him when something happened to us. I let my tears fall. My plan to leave seemed to be hampered by time. If he loves me, why does he hurt me with his cold treatment? Should I believe him?
I shook my head. That’s where he first mentioned what I should focus on. He said he had changed his mind. He will not take the child from me. And at least I was satisfied with his decision. I looked at Jai. She cries as the man speaks. He really thinks, his father is Jayar. I pulled deep. As I promised him, I will be able to and endure everything for him. Just don't take the child away from me Jayar.
That night, I discontinued the departure plan. The man may be aware of his threat. The States are far away for me to follow the child and pick up.
Chilsea arrived with the house quiet. Good and he wasn't there before. He might join in my criticism and quarrel with me.
