Chasing Giovanni

“Dad, can you leave Mama Sammy and marry my Mom instead?” Summer braised herself when she heard her stepson, Lucian asking her husband, Giovanni. “Of course.” Tuluyang nabasag ang puso niya nang marinig ang sagot ng kanyang asawa. **** After years of being in love with him, Summer grabbed the chance to be his companion in bed when Giovanni and his first love—Amber, broke up. Ngayong bumalik na ang babae at ang anak nito ay naiwan siyang luhaan. Iyon ang akala niya dahil nang magmulat siya ng mga mata ay natagpuan na lang niya ang sarili na ikinakasal kay Giovanni dahil sa Daddy niya. Tila pinapaboran siya ng tadhana. Nawala sa eksena sa Amber. Kahit malamig ang pakikitungo sa kanya ni Giovanni ay ayos lang. Naniniwala siya na kapag naging mabuti siyang asawa at ina sa anak nitong si Lucian ay mamahalin din siya nito. But oh boy!, she’s wrong. Nang bumalik si Amber ay nawala rin ang mag-ama sa kanya. Giovanni was with Amber during their first anniversary. Broken-hearted, she signed the divorce paper and left the country. Years later, when Summer’s father asked for her help, she came back fully moved on and became a Captain of Green Beret US Army. Her and Giovanni’s path meets again without him knowing they had a daughter. And the man was acting like he didn’t bring pain before. He was acting like a lovable husband, getting her attention all he wanted. ********* “I signed the divorce paper, don’t expect the same when it comes to my kid,” asik sa kanya ni Giovanni na para bang kasalanan niya pa ng lahat. His son, Lucian came too. Crying when Summer’s daughter fought with him. “Mama Sammy, inaway ako ng bata. Don’t you want me and Daddy anymore?”
