Chapter 60: Chapter 60
"Your face is too thick to meet us!! Come here, I'm going to stop you, you witch!" I was surprised when it approached Vanessa's behavior and quickly adjusted it.
"What the hell! Stephen stop your brother!!" Stephen was about to step in when Aunt Stella stopped him from speaking.
"Go ahead and try to stop your brother Stephen, both of you and that girl will sneak up on me!" It said firmly.
Sheila continued to manipulate Vanessa and it was obvious that Vanessa wanted to fight against the manipulation but she only stopped herself.
"What is he doing here in your house!?"
"He said he had nowhere to live." Stephen replied.
"Nowhere to live? That's a good reason, but did you think about how Alyana would feel? Did he agree to let that girl live here!"
Stephen slowly looked at me. "I... I'm sorry Alyana."
Stephen and I didn't really talk about Vanessa and the child living here... but I feel sorry for the child because Vanessa said they have nowhere to live, maybe what will happen to the child if they just wander around outside.
There's nothing wrong with that kid. he is just a child and there is nothing in the world that is naive.
"It's okay with me Tita that he's here first, you're a poor child---" I was cut off because Tita's eyes automatically widened when she heard the word child.
"Child?? Which child??!" It turns out they don't know about the child, I guess I mentioned that word wrong.
"STEPHEN AND I HAVE CHILD!" Because of that, Sheila let go of Vanessa's hair.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ABOUT!!!" said Stephen's mom and the way she looked at Vanessa, it was like she wanted to strangle her.
"What? You will really do everything to have a reason to come back to my brother! Do you need money?! Okay, mommy and I will give you money to stop your lies!!"
"Don't say that I'm just lying because we're just waiting for the DNA test results to prove that Effren is Stephen's son."
"Effren amputated! You know I'm the one who feels sorry for the child because you were his mother." Sheila gave Vanessa a hard time while giving her a slight nudge on the shoulder and went back to our routine.
"DNA test? When do you plan to tell us about this Stephen? If Sheila and I hadn't visited, we wouldn't have known that you let her live here in your house!!" He said angrily.
"I'm sorry mom, I'll tell you and he's going to start living here today."
"Eh, don't send that girl out tonight!"
"Mom! Vanessa and I have already talked about this, until the results come, he will be here first and if we know that the child is not my child, I will send him away immediately and if it is positive... I will find a way to I will settle them first."
"After she hurt you, cheated you and after money you still manage to be nice to that girl?! Think about it!"
"Is it really okay for you to live here with me, sister?" I looked at Sheila who was now clinging to my arm and I just nodded in response.
"Then I have a strong feeling that it's not my real grandson! Even if it's my real grandson, I still won't accept it, especially if you're the mother!"
"I can't accept you as my son's grandson either." He said before going up to their room.
"The hell! He's still in the room I'm using!"
"Just relax aunty." When I calm down.
"What's going on here?" Manang Daley asked.
"Manang Daley, why didn't you even tell me about this?"
"Oh, I forgot, you know I'm old enough to forget."
"My head is really hot with that girl!" We all sat down first.
"Didn't that girl do anything bad to you, Alyana?" Aunty asked and I fell silent when I remembered what happened earlier.
"Vanessa pushed Alyana earlier in the pool, Alyana doesn't know how to swim yet, she better run if Stephen went to save Alyana."
"What?? Ija, are you okay? Do you want us to take you to the hospital to make sure you're okay."
"I'm fine, you don't need to take me to the hospital."
"That girl! She just arrived here but she did something bad to my sister, what about in the next few days bro?!"
"I'll watch over Alyana--"
"Would you watch?! Well, when Vanessa pushed Alyana in the pool, did you watch Stephen? What are you doing at those hours??"
"I took the child to the room and put him to bed..."
"It seems that the child that you are not sure is your son is more important than here to Alyana." I held aunt's hand to calm her down.
Aunt Stella took a deep breath. "Sorry, I just don't want the time to come when you hurt Alyana just because of that girl, Alyana is a kind child and she doesn't deserve to be hurt. That's why, Stephen, don't hurt her, because you'll never find a woman like Alyana."
"I know mom, I promise you that I will never hurt him."
"I hope son, I hope..."
I swallowed something that smelled... the smell of mango...? ah, yes, aunty said the fruit she brought earlier.
"Do you have any mangoes, aunt?" He seemed to be out of his mind when he asked, he blinked while putting his hand on his head.
"Nothing, you only have apples, oranges and grapes."
"Eh? I thought there were mangoes." I said softly to myself.
"Don't worry, when I come back here again I will buy you mangoes."
"Thank you." I smiled at him. Mango is also my favorite, especially when it's raw, but it just makes me wonder why I smell mango?
__
The next day when I came out of the room, I saw Vanessa with the child, they were watching... my eyes widened because something miraculous was happening in the show.
"This woman is crazy, you see she has a child next to her and then she watches like that." I just got tired and went to the kitchen. What else can I do? Eh, maybe the two of us will just fight, this morning and I don't want a fight.
I saw Manang Daley cooking.
"Good morning manang, what dish are we having today?"
"Fried chicken, it's like Vanessa who likes chicken. She's a really artistic kid." Yes, you are right there Manang Daley.
"Let's eat." Manang said when he was done.
I walked towards the room and saw Vanessa about to open the door, I took a step closer and stopped her hand from touching the doorknob.
"What are you doing?"
"Stephen will wake up to eat." He answered with raised eyebrows, he was still carrying the child in his other hand.
"I'm the girlfriend so I'll wake up with her, you too." I said quietly before entering the room.
Then I grabbed my chest because of the shock, it turned out that Stephen was standing in front.
"I'm the girlfriend so I'll wake up with her." He imitated what I said and laughed softly, I hit his weak arm.
"My girlfriend's ah--hmm, she's a fiance." He smiled at me and held my hand.
"Huh? F-Fiance?" I looked at what it was wearing on my finger and I blinked when I saw it sing-sing.
"We're getting married next month, you want that, don't you?" I smiled widely and immediately hugged him.
"Yes, I would love to."
While eating, I noticed if Vanessa looked at my hand, I frowned and looked at my hand too, maybe there is dirt or something else on it, it's embarrassing for her, right? When I thought about it, it was the sing-sing he was glancing at...maybe?
Is this a problem? does he want this too? If you want to buy yours, you should, but it's not Stephen's money or anyone else's.
After we ate, Stephen had to leave, someone suddenly called him, I don't know who it was but it looked like an emergency because Stephen was in a hurry.
Manang Daley is always watching over me, wherever I go he is close to me. Stephen said that Manang should watch over me because Vanessa might do something to me. Shouldn't manang be the one to have a guard because he's old? Poor Manang Daley.
"I'm just going to go to the bathroom for a while, just for a while and then I'll be back--"
"Oh no! I won't do anything to Alyana you assume!" Vanessa and I made it difficult for both of us.
"If you want, you can come with me to the bathroom--"
"No, no, it's okay! Go ahead and go to the bathroom." I said and she left. Vanessa and I stared at each other and we made each other suffer at the same time. You attitude? Tsk, I will have the same attitude towards you!
"Look who that is." It's like he's ordering me around? even if you don't say, I'll actually be the one to open, tsk. I went out to see who it was.
"Are you Alyana?" The man who was just the same age as Stephen's mom asked.
Wait, does it smell like mango? The smell made me drool.
"Yes? Yes, I am, who are they?" polite if asked. I think he looks like Stephen...
Stephen's father?
"I'm Stephen's dad." My eyes widened because of that, I was right.
Just calm down Alyana, don't be nervous. "P-Come in..."
"You can call me uncle, ija."
"Come in uncle." I let him in and I looked at what he was carrying.
"What is that?"
"Please, your Aunt Stella said you like it so much that she brought it to you." My smile widened when I heard what he said. Auntie is really smart and Stephen's daddy seems to be smart.
"Thank you very much--"
"You brought a mango, uncle, is that for me?" I was biting my claws when Vanessa approached us and grabbed what she was carrying.
"It's true that you're here at my daughter's house, it's for Alyana, not for you. You're assuming too much,
that's bad." He shook his head and took it back.
"Didn't you really like me for Stephen then." He said with a smile as he approached his uncle but he raised his hand to stop him from approaching.
"That was, now Alyana is different because I want my daughter."
"Looks like everyone doesn't like me." He grinned annoyed and tortured us both. "What's the point, I don't force you to like me." I heard him say this while he was walking away from us.
It's good to know that there are many people who don't like you.
"Alright, just have fun now, you have a day with me too." He will listen to it and leave completely.
"Hello uncle! Oh, Alyana we are not here to bother you, Stephen himself talked to us to come here to watch over you." John explained that he had just arrived and Flyn was still behind him, he seemed to be out of his mind because of what John said that his ex came back?
"Thank you both for coming." Let's all sit down.
Let's see if John can look at what Tito is carrying. "Wow, what is that uncle food?"
"Please."
"Give me some--"
"I'm sorry, John, for Alyana's sake."
"Uncle, that's a lot, how can Alyana use it..." I saw Flyn elbowing John.
"Stop it John, you really killed Stephen when Alyana reported you and then what's the use of your money if you don't use it."
"Well, we're all the same, that's how you save when you're single so that when you're married, you won't have problems with money because you've already saved up." Flyn just shook his head when John said. There is no jowa but a girl? Well, there are many, I don't think you will run out.
"How are you doing here? Stella mentioned that Vanessa pushed you into the pool."
"What? That girl Alyana pushed you?" They both asked in surprise.
"Do you want us to arrest him or torture him? Ah, don't let us rape him... sh*t don't, he might still like it, he forgot how flirtatious it is, who is it? the one being punished."
"You're really John, you're just being silly." Uncle said laughing.
He scratched his head."I'm not kidding."
After a few minutes, uncle had to leave because he said he had something important to do.
John just talked about funny things until Flyn's phone rang so John stopped talking. Flyn pressed something and put his cellphone back in his pocket.
"Alyana, do you know what's even funnier--" we both turned to Flyn because his phone rang again.
"If you could just answer that Flyn, what is Camille calling?" Flyn was silent at John's question, it seems that it might be right because he couldn't answer.
"Hello?" He was about to stand up but John stopped him.
"Just sit there Flyn, we want to listen to what you two are talking about pfft...don't be shy." He gave John a hard time before sitting down again.
"What do you need?! What? What are you doing out there!?"
We heard someone ring the doorbell and Flyn immediately stood up and left the house.
"Why are you here!!? I told you not to show me again!" Flyn's voice was so loud that we heard it all the way.
"Alyana come on, let's gossip." He pulled me close to the door at the same time, then we hid and then peeked at him.
"Flynn listen to me first please." Poor woman, does her voice sound familiar? I think I've heard...
"I don't want to listen so go away!" I looked carefully at the woman in front of Flyn, I couldn't see her face because she was covered.
"What's her last name Camille?"
"I think that's Galvez? Ah, that's right Galvez." It nodded.
"Camille Galvez." I said.
"Are you deaf?! I told you to leave!" he shouted angrily at the woman.
I just saw Flyn like that, he seems to be very angry with the woman. I guess she's harsh, I'm a woman too so I know how it feels to be yelled at... but Vanessa's is just her thing and she has a thick face so maybe it's okay.
"You know she and Vanessa are like sisters." Wonder if you look at John.
"It's because they're both flirtatious and then cheaters! Tsk, tsk I'm the only one who isn't unlucky to be friends."
"No girlfriend since you were born John." I said shaking.
"Stephen told you." His promise was mixed with annoyance.
"Listen to me first!" The woman grabbed Flyn's hand and immediately shook it.
"Go away!" I pointed out the road together.
"Okay fine but tomorrow I'll still come to see you, no matter where you go I'll still see you Flyn." Before Flyn closed the gate, I caught a glimpse of the woman's face.
"C-Camille? cAMILLE!!" The call was so loud that he turned to look at me and John, his eyes widened as our eyes met.
"Alyana." It said. I smiled because it was really Camille, I walked to the gate and opened it.
"Alyana!" He hugged me tightly and I did the same.
"Is that really you? I miss you! I miss you so much Alyana." He said as if he was crying.
"I miss you too, we haven't seen you in a while. Don't cry." When I hold her to see her tears.
"I went to see you, then your big brother Keil said that you no longer live there. Then your sister said that you were sold! Is that true, Alyana?" He asked sadly.
"Wait, do you two know each other?" We looked at John who was looking at us both in surprise.
