Flames Of Deception (Levrés Series #6)

Kabanata 30

"Wala kang ginagamit," sigurado niyang sagot. Pinanliitan ko siya ng mga mata ko. Tama naman siya. Pero paano niya kaya alam? "Alam ko ang bawat kilos mo. Alam ko kung ano ang mga gusto at ayaw mo. I know everything about you."

Kung hindi lang si Kyner ang nagsasabi niyan, I'm sure I'll have goosebumps all over my body. Tunog stalker. Pero dahil siya si Kyner at pogi siya, nakakakilig iyon para sa akin.

"Are you my stalker?" I joked. He just smirked. "But yes. I'm eight weeks pregnant."

He stared at me. I'm waiting for him to say something but he's just staring at me. Para bang hindi makapaniwala sa narinig. Medyo awang pa ang labi at nakatulala sa akin. He looked cute.

"Oh? Hindi ba, alam mo na? Bakit nakatulala ka pa riyan at mukhang gulat?"

"I was still not one hundred percent sure, but it already made me happy. Pero ngayon, iba pa rin talaga ang saya kapag narinig ko ito mula sa iyo."

My lips twitched a bit. Meron din talagang parte sa akin na akala ko, hindi niya tatanggapin ang anak namin dahil may iba siyang mahal. Pero ngayon, naisip ko na tatanggapin niya ito, may mahal man siyang iba o ako lang.

Kyner took my hand and kissed the back of it. He then looked into my eyes. "Thank you, Snorri. For making me the happiest. Pangako kong aalagaan, iingatan at mamahalin ko kayo habang buhay. I will make sure that our child will witness my undying love for you. I'll always tell our child that you're the only one that I've ever loved. That I will only love you."

He knows my past. At ayaw niya na ulit mangyari sa aming magiging pamilya iyong nangyari sa akin, sa mga magulang ko.

"Marry me again, Snorri. I don't care if you'll deceive me again--"

"I'll never do that again!" I interrupted.

"Kagaya ng sinabi ko, wala akong pakialam kung gawin mo man. Your lies may have scorched my heart, but I want you to know that I'll let you set my heart and soul in fire again. Anytime as you want, Snorri. Anytime."

Namuo ang luha sa mga mata ko. Oh how it feels so good. To love and to be loved. How love, is the warmest place in a frozen world, and an ocean in a world on fire.

"Pakasalan mo ako, Snorri. Please," he said again. But this time, he's begging.

I nodded my head. "I'll marry you. Again."

He gave me a smile. A smile that came both from his eyes and mouth. He rarely smile. But when he did, it always took my breath away. Especially when he's smirking. So gwapo.

A call from his phone resonated. He quickly looked at his phone before he looked at me.

"Tumatawag si Mama. Nandito na siguro siya," he said.

Agad akong napatayo. "Hindi pa ako nakakapag-ayos!"

"You're beautiful."

"I know, right? Pero tignan mo nga ang itsura ko! Kakagaling ko pa nga lang sa pagkaka-kidnapped!" napansin ko ang pag-igting ng panga niya dahil doon. "I'm a mess, Kyner! I need at least to look presentable before facing your mother!"

Sakto at nakita ko si Mommy na pababa na ng hagdan. Kasunod si Daddy na bihis na bihis na akala mo ay presidente ng Pilipinas ang haharapin. Amoy na amoy ko pa ang pabango mula rito.  I wrinkled my nose.

"Sunduin mo na ang Mama mo. Magbibihis lang ako," paalam ko at umalis na.

"She's here?" narinig kong sabay na sinabi ni Mommy at Daddy.

I took a quick shower. Mabilis ang pagkilos ko pero nag-iingat pa rin ako. I wore a casual dress. Naglagay na rin ako ng kaunting make-up lang. Maglalagay sana ako ng paborito kong pabango nang pagbukas ko pa lang ng takip nito ay napatakip na ako ng ilong. I immediately close its lid and put it inside my drawer. I didn't like the smell of it anymore. Mukhang hindi ko muna ito magagamit.
