Until Our Stars Align

Chapter 3

"Meet me where the falling stars live.
I will wait for you day and night"

"Big sister Mharya!" excited na sinalubong ako ng yakap ni Rauzell, ang nakakabatang kapatid ni Silva.

Nakangiting niyakap ko siya "It's good to see you again Rauzell"

Pagsapit ng bunkangliwayway sa sumunod na araw ay sapilitan akong dinala ni Silva pabalik sa France at ngayon ay kakarating lang namin sa malaking palasyo ng pamilya nila, ang sikat na Château de Seville located in the heart of the quiet and peaceful Loire Valley.

We were welcomed by the servants of the Seville family headed by the previous Duke and Duchess.

"Big brother said that you'll stay here with us starting today!" the fifteen-year-old girl exclaimed as I glare at the man standing beside me.

"Only for now Rauzell" pilit ang ngiting sagot ko sa kanya.

"Mharya! I've heard the good news! Welcome to the family, ma fille!" masayang bati sa akin ng mga magulang ni Silva.

"Greetings Lord Silvior, Lady Geneva. Thank you for the warm welcome" bati ko pabalik at niyakap sila.

"Nonsense! You don't have to call us that anymore Mharya! Come, and take a seat" aya ng nanay ni Silva na sinunod ko naman. Naupo kami sa sofa at nanatiling hawak niya ang kamay ko "I'm so delighted knowing that you are carrying our grandchild hija. I'm excited to discuss your marriage with our son!"

Bigla akong natulos sa kinatatayuan ko, hindi alam kung ano ang dapat na sabihin "T-Tita-"

"Maybe later la mère, Mharya is still tired from our flight" maagap na sagot ni Silva sa ina.

"Oh dear, my bad. Go ahead and take a rest first then. We'll see you at the dinner then Mharya" puno ng panguunawang sangayon nila, I awkwardly smiled and nodded my head as Silva guide me towards his room.

"You have five minutes to explain what is going on Silvariuz de Seville" pahayag ko pagpasok naming sa kuwarto niya. I was trying my best to calm down.

Kalmadong hinubad niya ang suot niyang trench coat at umupo sa single couch "Is it wrong for me to share the good news to my parents?"

"Good news?" sarcastic na ulit ko. "Ilang ulit ko nang sinabing hindi ikaw ang ama ng batang to! Paano pagnalaman ito ng mga magulang mo? Iisipin nilang niloloko ko lamang kayo!"

"Then let's get some Paternity Test" kibit balikat na suhestyon ni Silva na ikinabundol ng dibdib ko. "Cat got your tongue?" he smirked after he saw my expression.

"T-There's no need for such things kasi hindi nga ikaw ang ama ng batang to. At ano yung sinabi ni Tita Geneva? Marriage?!" nangaakusang kwestyon ko sa kanya.

Napahilot sa noo niya si Silva. "Calm down Mharya, all these shoutings will be bad for our child"

"This is my child alone Silva. You bringing me here in France without my own consent could be treated as kidnapping and now you're gonna force me to marry you?" sikmat ko sa kanya.

Silva inhaled and exhaled as he walks towards me and holding my hand "Let's stop running around the circles Mharya, we both know the truth. I will marry you, as I've said I don't want our child to grow up as an illegitimate child of de Sevilles. Don't be so hardheaded, I'm doing what is the best for my heir"

Sa sinabi niya ang para akong sinampal sa sakit. Unti unti kong nakuyom ang mga palad ko habang nanginginig ako sa galit. There was no word enough to describe the pain I'm feeling right now as I look at the silver-eyed man I have loved in my entire life...
