"What?"
That was the first word that came out from his mouth after what I said.
My heart was beating so fast. I was so nervous... scared, even.
I know that he wouldn't accept the child. Why would somebody want to accept a child that was made out of libido?
"I said, I'm... pregnant," my tears are threatening to escape my eyes.
"Hold on," he said before he stood up and walked to the bathroom.
A tear fell from my eye. I knew it. He wouldn't accept the child.
Guess I have to raise my kid alone, then.
Oh, god.
Looking back, I should've taken a contraceptive pill. I should've known better.
He returned, wearing an emotionless face.
Mas gusto ko tuloy na maiyak. Halatang-halata na hindi niya gusto ang batang dinadala ko. Kung ayaw niya, sabihin niya lang. Palalakihin ko naman ang bata kahit na wal
"Ano?! Sinong buntis?!" Dad exaggerated.Brooke looked at me confusingly."You didn't tell them?" He whispered."I was just about to tell them, dumbass," I whispered back."Wag kayong magbulungan diyan, sinong buntis?" Dad interfered.We were silent, not knowing if we should answer or not."Ano? Sagot!"Sasagot na sana ako nang maunahan ako ni Brooke."Ako. Ako ho 'yung buntis," he said. I blinked two times before stopping myself from laughing. Seriously?"Ano?! Ikaw ang buntis?!" Dad shouted, "Aba, anak, hiwalayan mo 'yan! Hiwalayan mo 'yan! Di ko alam na ang pinakasalan pala ng anak kong babae ay isa ring binabae!""The hell?" Brooke whispered to himself. I laughed because of him. Such an idiot. That was priceless."Hiwalayan mo 'yan, Renesmee! Hiwalayan m
5 years later..."Mommy!!" I smiled when I heard my princess' voice from downstairs.I went down and hugged her before hugging Kayden, "How are my babies? Did the check up go well?" I asked."Yes, mommy. The dentist said our teeth are healthy," she answered."Really?" I smiled."Yes, mommy. And Kayden didn't cry," she giggled while Kayden glared at her while pouting."Lux!! I told you not to tell mommy!" He said. I laughed because of him. Sa kambal, si Kayden ang makulit, which is normal dahil lalake siya, and he's afraid of dentists. Palagi siyang umiiyak tuwing pumupunta sa kami sa dental clinic every 6 months. Hindi nga lang ako nakasama ngayon dahil may ginagawa akong gown para sa kasal ni Cleina kaya si Brooke ang sumama sa kanila."Very good, Kayden. I told you, dentists aren't scary," I said."They are, mommy. They
When I woke up, I felt lighter. I was feeling better than yesterday. Having Renesmee was a good thing.I admit, I hated it when my father told me that I'm going to marry her. She was on my bad side in the beginning. But now, looking back, having her as my wife made my life easier. It was more convenient.Because of her, I have someone to cook for me. Not that I was using her but she cooks better than any other restaurants chefs does. Before I married her, I would always have my meal outside my penthouse. I never learned how to cook.My life was okay until she came. I thought that she would be another burden for me to carry but it was the other way around. It was me who was the burden.She stayed up all night to take care of me. I knew she was tired but she took care of me like a typical wife would do. I wasn't even expecting her to do that.She's nice. She's pretty, gorgeous, even. She's g
I was playing with the kids when Brooke entered the house. He was acting a little different lately. Ewan ko, o baka ako lang 'yon? I was being paranoid. Nung mga nakaraang linggo kasi, napapansin kong nag-iba si Brooke. Sometimes, he would go home in a good mood. And he's going home a little late more often now. When I asked him what was going on, he would just answer me with a shrug or his infamous 'nothing'. "Daddy!" The two kids ran to him and gave him a hug. He hugged the both of them before showering kisses to the twins' face. I went to him and untied his necktie like I usually do. He stared at me before looking away. I saw how his jaw clenched, "What's wrong?" I asked. He cleared his throat. "Nothing," and there we go again with his 'nothing'. I wanted to ask him but I stopped myself. I'm his wife but for him, I was never his wife. He never treated me like his wife anyway. He doesn't have any rea
"What about the kids?" I asked, hoping that the thought of it would somehow stop him from filing a divorce."Nothing will change, I will still be the father of our children. The only difference is that I'll be their father, but not your husband," he said and I swallowed a lump in my throat, trying so hard to keep my tears from escaping my eyes. Hearing him say all of this... God, it hurts. Hearing the man I love say all of this... It was shattering my heart, slowly... painfully.I was staring at him when the two kids suddenly barged in the dining room, "Mommy! Daddy! How about our bed time story?" Scarlett asked using her jolly voice while Kayden was smiling.Hearing how lively they were and how beautiful they looked with those smiles on their faces, I just wanted to cry
I was looking at my parents from outside the room. Mommy is inside the ICU but dad is still unconscious.Napabuntong-hininga na lang ako. I know that dad has a condition but I didn't think that it was thisbad. I could barely handle my problems with my marriage and then another one added on my plate.I sat on one of the benches outside the ICU and just stared at my parents. My mom... looked so devastated. He was staring at my father with her eyes full of love and care. I admired how they love each other until now. I mean, they had the same fortune as me but we ended up very differently. Looking at them right now... It saddens me. How they look at each other, how they care for each other... I just don't think that I can ever find that kind of love.I knocked
I closed my eyes frustratingly, "Tungkol na naman sa divorce? Bakit ba nagmamadali kang makipaghiwalay, ha?""Uh..." Natuon ang mga mata ko sa babae nang magsalita siya, "I think I should go home," she said."What?" Brooke looked at her while I was just silently watching them, "Hatid na kita," he offered."No! I can manage," she said. She walked ear Brooke and kissed him... in front of me! "See you tomorrow, babe," she said. She glanced at me with a subtle smirk across her lips before walking out of the house.Bitch.Hindi pa nakuntento ang asawa ko at hinabol pa ang babae para ihatid sa labas at ikuha ng taxi.
"Magkakilala kayo?" Brooke asked and Avery raised her brow at him. "Of course, kuya," she flipped her hair. "Long time no see, Nesmee! Marami akong ikukwento sa 'yo! Ang tagal na nating hindi nagkita! Ilang taon na ba? 6 or 7 years? In fairness, going strong kayo ni kuya, ah?" Napaiwas ako ng tingin sa sinabi ni Avery. Hindi updated 'to. "Ano? Shopping tayo? Bar?" she asked, clueless about the tension inside the room. "Stop pestering my wife, Avery," Brooke pointed at me when Tito Reinold cleared his throat. "Correction, son, ex. Ex-wife," he smirked. Natigilan si Brooke bago nag-iwas ng tingin. "Right. She was my wife," he said as he looked away. "Wait, what?" Avery raised her brow at us, "Bakit may 'was' at 'ex' na nalalaman?" She asked. Tita Julie sighed, "We were just talking about the divorce they just filed when I called you, Avery. They're divorcing their marriage," sabi ni tita. "Ano?!" She stood up from
