A Budding Romance
Katarina’s POV
The children and I were having breakfast when I received a phone call from the President.He wanted me to come to his office the minute I reported for work.“What does Uncle Regor want?’ Dion asked when I put the phone down.“Nothing. He just wanted me to go to his office.” I told him distractedly. I am half-worried. Regor would not issue an order like that if the matter is not pressing.“Does it have anything to do with the magazine report about you and Uncle Marlon?” It was Daphne who clued me in.“What news?”“Mom, the news said that there is a brewing romance between you and Uncle Marlon.

The President kept on calling me, but I do not know what to tell him. I do not want to invite his anger and cause a problem within the political party. So instead of taking his call, I turned my phone off and hope that he would not raise h*ll in the office on what I did.

When Marlon saw me come in, he sprung upon his seat and walked over to meet me. He guided me over to the table under Senator Rodriguez’s hawk-like eyes.

I know that touch. My body will never forget his touch. The recognition brought instantaneous tears to my eyes.After emptying the contents of my stomach, I slumped on the tiled floor - too tired with my recent debacle with the bowl.

At first, the family wanted to sue me for publicly shaming her, but they at the last minute decided against it.Nevertheless, my lawyers got their hands full, preparing for any untoward incident. What clinched the cancellation was when Emily and I met two weeks ago. I apologized. Of course, the apology also came with a hefty donation for her foundation, one I am glad to oblige.“I sure envy Ms. Dimalanta.” She told me when we shook hands after we signed the documents releasing each other from any encumbrances concerning our botched engagement.With raised eyebrows, I asked her why.“Any girl would be lucky if a man loves her dearly. The whole nation may hate her now, but she has the heart of the man who lords over this nation.”I smiled bitterly at that.

Our small attendees included my children, Gino and Marlon, who stood in as our witnesses. I have some reservations, though, but Regor would not have any of them. He told me that he does not want our baby to be born out of wedlock.“Besides, it would be the most fitting ending to our beginning.” He said which made my heart flutter crazily.I know that while he did not tell me yet that he loves me, but his willingness to stand by me and our baby is enough. I, too, am not being vocal about my feelings. I do not know.
