Novel & Cerita Hidden Love Can't Be Concealed

I don't know if this was the right time to tell her about what happened but I think she needs to know dahil si Amber ang involved. Kilala ko siya. Kapag si Amber ang usapan ayaw na ayaw niyang pinaglilihiman siya. She never wanted anyone hiding something important when it comes to the love of her life. She will get furious kapag patatagalin pa ito. I heaved a deep sigh. Slowly nodding my head. She gasped.

Mukhang sabik na nagmamadaling lumapit sa kama saka nahiga. Napangiti si Rashed at natuwa dahil nagustohan ng dalaga ang secret room niya. Personal assistant saka secretary niya lang ang nakakaalam sa silid na ito maliban sa family niya. Kapag wala siya sa mood umuwi sa kahit saan at dito siya nanatili. Kumpleto siya ng personal gamit dito at may pamalit rin saka shower room. "Gisingin mo na lang ako kapag tapos ka na sa meeting mo." Inaantok na ani Camela saka niyakap ang isang unan at ipinikit ang mga mata.

“Kung totoong buntis ka, patunayan mo, Celine.” Natatarantang hinanap ni Celine ang resulta ng test niya kaninang umaga, nasa loob lang ng bag niya iyon pero bigla nalang hindi niya ito mahanap. “S-sigurado akong nandito lang yun, i-imposibleng mawala yun.” Mahihina kong anas habang panay pa rin ang pagkalkal sa bag ko. “Tama na, Celine. Pagod na akong makinig sa ‘yo, umalis ka nalang.”

Napansin niya yata ang pagdaan ng lungkot sa expresyon ko kaya unti-unting nawala ang ngiti niya. "But if Mimi doesn't want Lulu to have a father, then Lulu doesn't need one. Masaya na po ako kasama kayo ni Lala. I don't need a father kasi you can protect and love me naman po." his voice suddenly toned down. Halos maluha ako nang makitang pinipilit niyang itago ang lungkot niya. At such a young age, he already learned how to hide his true feelings, but he can never hide it from me as his mother. Alam kong napapansin niya na hindi ko gustong pag-usapan ang tatay niya kaya sinusubukan niyang pagaanin ang loob ko.

She was referring to her mugshots taken during her rebellious years which sent the Maritrians berserk when it resurfaced. “That’s fine with me too. I love the past, the present, and the future you, Tala Eloise. Full package. Without a doubt. Sure,” seryosonng sagot nito, muling humakbang palapit sa kanya. Humikbi na siya. It was the first time that he said he loves her and her heart was warming up with so much joy. Subalit ayaw magpapigil ng mga agam-agam sa isip niya. She had seen how destructive secrets are, she had experienced it firsthand with her wrong assumptions about her parentage. And so, if she would start a new life with Knoxx, she must not lie with her emotions even with her unce

Parang wala na silang ibang mapag-usapan. Nakakatawa, ‘di ba? Na nakakainis at nakakailang. Kung alam lang nila… kung pwede ko lang sabihin na mali ang lahat ng iniisip nila tungkol sa akin. Hindi ako single. Hindi rin ako available. Taken ako—oo, pero hindi sa paraang kaya nilang unawain. I’m in a relationship so wrong, it shouldn’t even exist. A love hidden in shadows, one I can’t name out loud.

I mean, I can still manage to be happy. Mahirap nga lang dahil kailangan ko laging magpanggap na masaya. Hindi pwedeng makahalata sila na nasasaktan ako, dahil paano ko naman sasabihin ang dahilan? This is the downside of being secretly in love, you have to hurt secretly too. Zephaniah was consistent in treating me like a stranger, sometimes, even invisible. I wanted to hate him for being an asshole but what hate can do anyway? The damage has been done, hate can only worsen it.

"Then let's face it all. Together. No more secrets. No more hiding." In that moment, standing on the busy street, I knew the storm was only just beginning. His family's wrath. Society's judgment. A divorce that could crumble their business empire. But as long as we held hands, I was ready to face it all. Because the love we had hidden away was stronger than any wall the world could build between us.

So, he chose to keep the truth hidden, at least for now, until the antidote was ready. 'A little more time,' he told himself, just a little more, and he could finally be free to love her openly, without the risk of hurting her. Nilagok niya ang natitirang laman ng wine glass na hawak pagkuwa'y sumandal at saglit na pumikit. Kung bakit naiimagine niya na nasa harap niya si Selina, nakangiting nakatingin sa kanya, pagkatapos ay naupo sa kandungan niya at masuyong hinaplos ang mukha niya. Sa loob ng ilang sandaling pagtititigan nila ay dahan-dahan niyang nilapit ang mukha dito. Hinapit niya ito at hinalikan sa labi. Damn, how he ached for the feel of her lips and the softness of her touch.
