Her Comeback

Chapter 25

TYRONE'S P.O.V

Pagkatapos kong maihatid si CJ sa kaniyang silid ay pumasok ako sa study room. My father was sitting on the couch while leisurely drinking pinot nior. Umupo ako sa tabi niya at binigyan niya ako ng basong may laman nito.

"How's your day with CJ?" he asked when I accepted the glass.

Napangiti ako nang maalala ang mga nangyari kanina. Iyon na yata ang pinakamasayang araw ng aking buhay. I can't believe they already meet each other. Fate must be on my side. All O want right now is to be with my family.

"I can see that you have a really good day based from your smile."

Tinungga ko ang alak na laman ng baso at inilapag ito sa mesa.

"I'm with the twins dad. With their mother."

"With their mother. So…when are you going to introduce us to our grandchildren?"

He know that his father's very excited to meet the twins. He's actually planning to introduce them to their grandparents if he has fixed everything with Jill. She's really a stubborn woman.

"I will dad. I just hope mom will not make it hard for me."

He remembered how his mother treated Jill before and insisted Sofia to him. His mother clearly didn't liked Jill.

"Don't worry about that son. Mas excited pa nga ang mama mo na makita ang kambal. She can't possibly hate the woman who bore your children. At nag-usap na kami tungkol diyan. Just focus on your business and finish everything with Sofia. Huwag mong pahintayin ng masyadong matagal ang mag-ina mo," tumayo siya at dinala ang bote ng wine at tinapik ang aking balikat. "I'm going kasi naghihintay pa sa akin ang mama mo sa akin."

"Ipapahatid na kita sa driver papunta sa old mansion dad." akmang tatayo na ako nang itinaas niya ang kan'yang kamay.

"Do bother. I can manage. Pareho kayo ng mama mo. Tingin niyo sa akin ay uugod-ugod na." natatawa't napailing ako at pinanuod siyang lumabas.

I stayed sitting on the couch as I slowly emptied the glass. Ilang minuto pagkatapos lumabas ni dad ay muling bumukas ang pinto. Pumasok ang taong kanina ko pa inaasahan. I look up and watch her made her way to my direction. Ramdam ko ang pagpipigil niya ng kan'yang galit. Tumayo ako at sinalubong ang kan'yang nagbabagang mga mata.

"What was that message suppose to mean?" she asked through gritted teeth.

"The literal meaning."

I know I am heartless but I want to end this craziness with her. I want to set everything right and I am starting here. I sent her a text message telling that I am ending everything between us and I want to talk to her personally.

"Why?! What did I do? Mayroon ba akong nagawa? Ano?! Sabihin mo sa akin? Why do you suddenly want to end our relationship?" galit na galit na tanong niya sa akin.

Kaunti nalang ay kakalmutin na niya ako. Nakakuyom ang kan'yang mga kamao at pilit pigilan ang kan'yang sarili. Mariin ko siyang tinitigan bago sumagot.

"I don't want us to keep on lying to ourselves. Mas mabuting itigil na natin ang kahibangan na ito, Sofia. I want to start again with my son. Gusto kong magsimula muli bilang isang magulang kay CJ."

Tumawa siya ng pagak nang marinig ang mga sinabi ko. Tinabig niya ang baso na nakapatong sa mesa kaya umalingawngaw sa buong silid ang tunog ng pagkabasag nito.

"What a lame reason you have there! Bakit? Hindi mo ba magawa ang maging magulang sa anak mo kasama ako? Mahal kita kaya hindi mo ako maaaring iwanan! No! I won't let you! There will be a wedding happening next month. No…no…this isn't happening."
