LOVING THE PROSTITUTE #1

CHAPTER 61

I was actually shocked. Saan natutunan ni Lucas 'yon?

Lumapit naman si Cian sa kanya. "Why are you crying, Cia?"

"Y-You blocked me." Naiyak ito ulit at inalo naman ni Lucas.

"I'm sorry, sister. I won't do it again, okay?"

Unti-unti rin itong tumahan. I envy them. How I wish I have a sister or brother. Napangiti ako ng mapait.

"Have you eaten, kids?" masuyo kong tanong sa kanila.

"No, mommy."

Umiling lang ang dalawa bilang tugon. "Let's go downstairs?"

Tango lang ang naging tugon nila. Pinauna ko silang maglakad. Lucas was supporting the little girl walk and Cian was just walking cool. Halatang namana sa ama.

Natagalan pa kami sa pagbaba ng hagdan dahil ang bagal ng dalawa. What would I expect? Ang liit nila. Malamang mahihirapan talaga. Hindi ko sila tinulungan since Lucas was doing it. Binantayan ko na lang sila sa paglalakad para walang mahulog sa kanila.

Nakababa rin kami sa wakas. We heard voices from the kitchen. Kaya doon kami dumiretso.

"Mommy!" Tumakbo si Cia sa tinawag niyang ina. She must be Glen. She got a shoulder length hair and a nice body. Tumitig ako saglit sa kanya. Mukha siyang inosente.

Lumapit din sa kanya si Cian. She kissed both of her kids before looking at me. She smiled genuinely. "You must be Denise. Nice to finally meet you by the way."

Binalik ko ang ngiti sa kanya. "Yeah. And you must be Glen. Lucan's wife."

"Oh, you're right. I'm Mrs. Salvatore." Natawa siya ng bahagya. "And you will be a future Salvatore?"

I shook my head. I never seen that coming. And what? Why would Luca marry me? Binuhat ko si Lucas na hinihila ang dulo ng damit ko. Glen's kids were already sitting on their own seats. May sarili silang upuan na sumusuporta sa katawan nila.

I can't see the twins. Where are they? "They went outside. May pinag-usapan lang," sabi niya nang makitang naghahanap ang mga mata ko. Tumango na lang ako.

"Bakit kailangan sa labas?"

"Ayaw yata nilang marinig ko. Hindi naman ako chismosa, e." Napangisi ako sa sinabi niya. Tumalikod siya saglit at tinignan ang niluluto.

"Mommy, what are you cooking?" tanong ni Cia.

"Your favorite."

"Oatmeal, mommy?" Bakas ang kasabikan sa boses nito.

"Yeah," she responded before looking at me placing Lucas in a chair. "I really wanted to meet the woman who broke Luca before."

I was confused. Broke Luca? I did? "You don't know?" muling tanong niya ng makita ang pagtataka sa'kin. "He was a mess before. And I heard a woman left him. I assumed that was you. Where have you been?"

Nagkibit balikat lang ako. "Nagtago."

Natawa siya sa sagot ko.

I didn't know that really happened. He was a mess because I left him? Well, that's sucks.

"You hid really well, huh. I heard from Lucan, kung saan-saan daw naghanap noon si Luca. But unfortunately, he failed. Hindi raw tumigil until their mom stopped him."

That took my interest. I looked at my son playing with the twins before looking at Glen again.

"What happened next?" interesado kong tanong.

"After that, the wedding cancelled and they never talk about it again. I heard, Rylee back out. I don't know why. Wala naman daw sinabi."

Napaisip ako. Sinabi rin ni Luca na hindi na raw matutuloy ang kasal. What really happened? Now I'm curious and I wanted to know the whole story behind it. Sasagutin kaya ni Luca kapag nagtanong ako? I doubt that.
