Marrying the Billionaire

Chapter 13

it's 6 AM and im waiting outside the operating room. Sa loob ng operation room ay naroon ang anak ko na kasalukuyang binibigyan ng bagong lungs.

Natatakot ako pero alam kong malakas ang anak ko at malalagpasan niya ito.

"Adellaine.." Si carl. "Here hold my hand"

Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya habang patuloy ang pag iyak ko. Wala si boni dahil may trabaho siya.

Ilang oras din ang inabot ng operasyon pero naroon si carl para samahan ako. Im thankful to have him, but i need to tell him that we can't be more than just friends.

Masaya ang anak ko nang makilala niya si boni at masaya rin ako. Pero alam ko sa sarili kong hindi lang saya ang nararamdaman ko para kay boni.

"the transplant was successful. Ibabalik na namin siya sa room niya." Keanna lopez is my daugther's doctor kaya siya ang nagopera sakaniya. Minsan nga ay nahihirapan si boni na bumisita dahil madalas si keanna sa kwarto ni adi.

I took my phone out and texted boni

"Adellaine i need to ask you something" carl then held my hands.

"Ano yun?"

"Alam kong maring nangyayari ngayon, adi's condition, her father coming back..... pero i want to help you. I want to be your boyfriend, adellaine..."

Ito yung moment na kinakatakutan ko. He's a good friend and I don't want to hurt him but I need to tell him what I really feel for him.

"Carl... you're a very good friend at ayokong mawala saakin, yes maraming nangyayari ngayonand i am so stressed. Pero carl, yung pagmamahal ko para sayo ay hanggang friends lang. Ayokong saktam ka pero alam kong mad masasaktan lang tayo kapag ipinagpilitan natin ang gusto mo." sa pagkakataong ito ako na ang may hawak sa kamay ni carl... his smile faded away, his eyes became sad...

"I understand. Pero gusto kong malaman.... is this because bumalik na yung daddy ni adi? You still love him?"

Hindi kilala ni carl kung sino ang daddy ni adi. I'm not ready for that conversation yet.

"No and yes... and no. No because brotherly feelings lang talaga ang nararamdaman ko sayo carl and i am so sorry about that and yes dahil bumalik na ang daddy ni adi. I wasn't really syre about my feelings when i first met him pero habang nakakasama ko sya kasama si adi, i grow fond of him, slowly growing an affection that i know for sure na hindi lang gusto. I love him carl, i'm so sorry."

"Don't be. Pinili kong mahalin ka kahit walang kasiguraduhan na mamahalin mo rin ako pero atleast i tried. But don't worry, i will still look after you and adianna."

"Thank you, carl" yinakap ko si carl ...

"Adelle." it's boni..

Lumingon ako sakaniya..

"Boni..."

"Can we talk?" he said

"Carl please pakibantayan muna si adi. Maguusap lang kami"

Tumango si carl with a confused look. I guess he's hinting at something.

Naglakad kami ni boni sa hallway..

"I heard your conversation with carl..."

fuck.

"So chismoso ka na pala ngayon. Wow a billionaire is a chismoso?!" i tried to hoke about it pero mukhang seryoso siya.

"I filled a divorce with keanna."

napahinto ako sa paglalakad at humarap sakaniya.

"Ano?! Are you out of your mind?! Boni may mga anak kayo!"

"What are you talking about? You know naman na hindi ko anak si jacob diba?" His voice got louder.

"Yeah how about jake?!"

"Jake who?- oh jake, jacob. They're the same adelle. Nickname lang namin iyon sakaniya!"

gosh I feel so stupid!

"W-what?"

"You're so assuming. Baka mamaya pag binigyan kita ng singsong mag assume ka na pakakasalan kita."

"Hoy! Hindi ako assumera!"

"Well idc kahit mag assume ka dahil pakakasalan talaga kita."

"A-ano?"

"Just kidding" aniya.

Tinignan ako ni boni ng matagal atnapakagat labi.

"What are you staring at?" tanong ko sakaniya

then he pulled me inside the janitor's closer and kissed me. After all these years hinahanap hanap ko parin ang labi niya, thay he kiss me so smoothly, his soft lips on mine.

Him being mine again.

I missed him, I missed us.
