16. Genuine Smile.
Hannah was feeling a little bit light headed. Pero hindi dahil may sakit siya, nahihilo o ano pa man. It was the confusing feeling na kanina pa niya nararamdaman.
"Hannah," untag ni Leah."Hmn?""Are you listening to me? Kanina pa ako salita ng salita rito eh," reklamo ng kaibigan niya.'I'm sorry, what are you saying?" sinikap niyang ibaling ang atensyon kay Leah."Ay alam ko 'yan!" sabi nito matapos siyang suriin ng tingin nang mga five seconds. "You're in love!" halos mag-heart shape ang mga matang dagdag nito."Huh?""Hannah, you're in love," ulit nito na dumikit pa sa kanya. "So tell me ha, is Nate Sarmiento the lucky guy?""What? No!" matigas na tanggi niya. "What are you talking about?""Pinagdaanan ko 'yan kaya 'wag mo akong niloloko, Hannah," tukso pa rin nito. "Ang bilis ng improvement ah. Come on, tell me the details...""Ano ka ba, hindi 'no!"Wala naman siyang aBab terkait
Raising The Billionaire's Child 17. Disappointed.
Wednesday afternoon the following week, Hannah found herself in a restaurant with Nate Sarmiento's father, Benjamin Sarmiento. Alam ni Hannah na hindi siya dapat nagpunta lalo na at hindi alam ni Nate. But his old man insisted that hindi kailangang malaman ng binata. Mag-uusap lang naman daw sila. Last night, she received a direct call from Adam. Sabi nga nito, money works kaya hindi na siya nagtaka kung paano nito nakuha ang number niya. Kaya nga heto siya ngayon, kaharap ang mismong ama ni Nate. "I know you're wondering why," umpisa ng matanda, Hannah noticed na hindi pa naman pala ito gano'n katanda. Well considering that Nate is only thirty at siya ang panganay, malamang nasa fifties pa lang ang ama nito. Maybe it was his condition that made him look older. Naka-wheelchair na kasi ito. "I'm desperate, Ms. Rodriguez. I don't have much time. Noong nakita kita sa bahay ng anak ko, I'm certain na mapagkakatiwalaan kita.
Raising The Billionaire's Child 18. Team Sarmiento.
"Mr. Sarmiento, we met at last!" Overly cheerful na bati ni Leah. Nakarating na sila sa Farm noon at napilit na rin ni Elisha ang ama nito na isuot ang pink shirt at cap na bigay ng kaibigan niya. To say that Nate carried the attire really well was an understatement. He looked like a model who had just stepped out of a magazine cover. Kahit ano ata ipasuot sa binata ay babagay rito. And Hannah felt a little bit conscious that she was wearing a shirt the same as the one Nate was wearing. Tapos may nakalagay pang Team Sarmiento na parang talagang isa silang pamilya nina Elisha at Nate. "Hannah always talks about you!" Patuloy ni Leah at kung wala roon si Caleb ay baka nakatikim na ito sa kanya. Tipid na ngiti at maiksing bati lang ang tugon ni Nate na halatang pinipilit ang sarili na hindi maging suplado. He obviously wasn't used to casual talks with a new acquaintance. "I really don't talk about you that much," sabi niya ka
Raising The Billionaire's Child 19. Too late.
Two more hours and Hannah's most dreaded confrontation was about to unfold. Natatakot siyang ma-reject. Natatakot siyang malaman na hindi na siya kailangan pa ng kanyang ama sa buhay nito. Hannah's last memory of David Rodriguez was when he asked her to leave his house dahil ayaw umano ng bago niyang stepmother ang presensya niya sa bahay nila. She was making his wife remember that she was just a second wife raw. Naalala niya na nagmakaawa siya noon dahil wala siyang pupuntahan. Pero nagmakaawa rin ang kanyang ama na umalis na siya. He needed his second wife, he said. 'Yon lang daw umano ang paraan para tuluyan itong makarecover sa pagkawala ng kanyang ina. That's when Hannah ran to Olive for help. At hindi siya binigo ng kaibigan niya. Nine years later, heto siya, sana nga buo na ang kanyang loob na makaharap ang kanyang ama at ang bago nitong pamilya. "Nervous?" tanong ni Nate. "A bit," amin niya. Tam
Raising The Billionaire's Child 20. The Emergency.
Bumisita sila Hannah sa puntod ng kanyang ama kinabukasan. Doon ay hinayaan muna siyang mapag-isa ng mga kasama niya. Somehow that was the closest she could get to her father. She could no longer see him, no longer hug him, no longer talk to him. And no matter how hard it was for Hannah, she had to face the truth. Na ulila na siya at mag-isa na lang talaga sa buhay. Kahit naman matagal na siyang independent, iba pa rin iyong alam niyang wala na talaga siyang magulang. 'Yong alam niya na hindi na niya makikita pa ang mga ito. Pero ang pinakamasakit sa lahat ay iyong mawala ang kanyang ama nang hindi siya nakakahingi ng tawad. Ni hindi niya nasabi na hindi naman talaga siya galit, na hindi nito kailangang hingiin ang kapatawaran niya at tulad ng kanyang ama ay hindi rin siya tumigil na mahalin ito. But she wasn't able say any of those, instead, heto siya, puntod na lang ang kaharap niya. "Hannah," narinig niyang marahang tawag ni Nate, agad niyang tinuyo
Raising The Billionaire's Child 21. Nuisance foster mother.
Olive was traumatized. Lagi raw itong sumisigaw at umiiyak at sa presensya lang ni Nate ito kumakalma. Nate on the other hand managed to clear his schedules to stay beside his ex ayon na rin sa payo ng mga doktor sa London. In fact, isang linggo na si Nate doon and during those times, he would just call and talk to Elisha for a few minutes everyday. Sina Hannah at Nate, hindi pa nag-uusap. Ayaw rin namang dumagdag ng dalaga sa mga alalahanin ni Nate. Alam niya na hindi biro ang pinagdadaanan nito. Mabuti rin nga at wala ng pasok si Elisha. Dahil may mga balita ng lumabas na si Olive talaga ang ina ng bata. Hindi niya alam kung paano iyon nalaman ng media. Pero sa panahon naman ngayon ay wala ng imposible. Hindi pa nagpapalabas ng opisyal na pahayag si Nate at wala itong pinapaunlakan na interview. Pero ang problema, dahil mainit ang issue, hindi makalabas sina Hannah at Elisha. Lalo na dahil nauungkat iyong pagkakataon na nakita sila
Raising The Billionaire's Child 22. The right to intrude.
Hannah's been unleashing someone that wasn't really her. She hated doing it but she had to. For the sake of one family that she had unintentionally kept apart. Just now, Elisha's been crying for the nth time this week dahil lagi niya itong pinapagalitan. Kaunting bagay na hindi naman nito kasalanan ay nagagalit siya. Hindi nga lang niya ito sinasaktan physically. Hindi na niya magagawa iyon sa anak niya na hindi naman dapat paluin. Eli was a good girl. Hannah's proud to have raised her like that. Pero kailangang lumayo ang loob nito sa kanya. That's what she'd been trying to do. Pero si Elisha nagmamakaawa sa kahihingi ng sorry sa kanya. Hindi ito nagagalit. Kaya mas nahihirapan siya. She wanted so badly to pacify her but she needed to be hard on her. "Mommy... Sorry! Mommy!" Yumakap ito sa binti niya. "I'm not going to play dolls again if you don't want, mommy," mga manyika kasi ni Eli ang napagdiskitahan niya kanina. Wala lang. 'Di naman nakakalat. Gu
Raising The Billionaire's Child 23. Give her a chance.
Mula sa bintana ng silid ni Hannah, kita niya sina Olive, Nate at Elisha na nagbe-breakfast. She was supposed to be there dahil request ni Eli iyon. Sa katunayan ay ilang beses itong bumalik sa kwarto niya but she pretended to be sick. Unti-unti nang nabubuo ang pamilya ng mga ito. Pero mas mabilis niyang nararamdaman na hindi na siya kailangan doon. Nanghihinang bumalik siya sa kama niya. Kakapanggap niyang may sakit siya, parang nagkakatotoo na yata. Ang bigat ng mga talukap niya at nananakit ang kanyang mga mata sa kakaiyak. She could even feel her head aching like hell. Parang kasing sakit ng sugat na palalim nang palalim sa puso niya. Hannah found herself sleeping again. Iyon lang yata ang gusto niyang gawin. Forget about eating and everything else. Atleast, habang tulog siya, nakakapagpahinga siya mula sa mga problema niya. It's like a temporary escape where she needed not to face Olive, hurt Eli and pretend that she's not in l

'Good morning folks... I know we have the same question in mind as Nate Sarmiento, Olive and their cute daughter Elisha were spotted together in an adorable family moment in Bali, Indonesia... Are we hearing wedding bells soon? This family had truly touched the lives of many. They struggled to be together but hey, in the end, evil did not prevail...' Tumaas ang sulok ng bibig ni Hannah as she watched the news. Evil talaga? "Hoy!" Binatukan siya ni Leah. "Aray!" reklamo niyang binalingan ang kaibigang kakapanganak lang. "Ano bang problema mo? Bigla bigla ka na lang nananakit?!" "Nanonood ka na naman niyan!" Inagaw nito sa kanya ang remote at pinatay ang TV. "It's not like alam kong ibabalita 'yon. I'm watching the news. Not them," kaila niya. "Who are you kidding? You saw it on the headlines. But instead of turning the TV off, hinintay mo talaga ang balita sa mga Sarmiento." "Of course not. You're too as
