Chapter 52

Nikita's POV,
I was mixing my cooked mongoose when Kent stood next to me.
"Levi's?" I asked immediately.
He is here again at our house to visit our son. They already know mama about us. And first, he was angry with Kent and me. He was angry with what Kent had done and he was also angry with me for my decision.
I do not regret my decision. Because don, we both became stable. I knew I became mature and I knew him too.
I learned how to be responsible. I also learned to be a mother to my child. I worked hard for my son. I learned how to work hard for my son.
My past experiences made me who I am now. That's the reason why I don't regret everything that happened before. Maybe there are what if's but I said yes, I'm happy now so I'm satisfied.
"Asleep already." He said and he was the one who sliced ​​the meat I was slicing earlier.
"Did you take her to her room?" I ask. He just nods. "Don't you have a job today?" I asked trying to brush away the awkwardness between us.
"I filed a leave for 1 week for you and our son." He said without even looking at me. I frowned at what he said.
"You don't have to do th ---"
"Can I ask you?" He cut me off. I was just looking at him seriously. So is he.
"If I'm not the first to come to your office, do you have any plans to tell me about our son?" He seriously ask me. His tone hurt when he asked me a question. I pushed my eyes as I cooked.
"Nothing." I honestly said to him. This time, he looked at me. I saw his eyes read quickly. I can see that he is going to cry. He immediately shifted his gaze to what he was cutting.
"Why? Why didn't you tell me before? You should have told me at that time. You were already there but why did you still choose not to tell ---" My heart suddenly ached because of what he said so I entered immediately ako.
"I didn't tell you because I don't want to take away your happiness ..." He just listened to me seriously. I covered what I was cooking to wait for the mongoose to soften before I seasoned. I turned to him.
"Kent's pain eh. I was hurt so much. The pain at that time was my joy when you texted me. It was my joy to walk to our meeting because I'm ready eh ... I'm ready to tell you that you're going to be a father . But I stopped when I saw you kiss Lauren. I brushed that away in my mind and continued anyway, thinking that I misinterpreted you because I believed eh ... I believed you love me non --- "
"I love you ---"
"You love me? All right, I'll let it be like that. Maybe you're confused because it's your first love. You thought you still loved him. But Kent was sick. When you told me 'I don't expect him to come back. I don't know. that I still love him '"I said, reminiscing that moment. I still remember the exact words he said to me non.
"The pain is not. What am I so against your ex, right?" I wiped the tears from my cheeks.
"So I didn't tell you about my pregnancy because I don't want our child to live in a forced family. I don't want you to be forced to marry me for our child. I know you also won't let our child live in the whole family so I thought you would marry me when you found out we had a child. That's also the reason why I didn't tell you. I want to marry you, but I don't want to get to the point where I feel like I used our child just to get you married. I want to be married to you because of love ... "He just listened quietly but I saw tears that fell down in his eyes. I know he is now crying.
"But I didn't regret all that. Because don, I became strong. I'm here now where I am. That's because I was able to. I was able to cope with the pain. I was able to cope for our son. I've been through all of those And I'm happy I was able to do that. I was able to do that alone for our son ... "I looked at him when he suddenly knelt in front of me and held my hands.
"I'm sorry, if only I knew." I also knelt down so we could watch. I lifted her face and wiped away her tears.
"You don't need to say sorry to me anymore, because I've forgiven you for a long time. Let's be happy because we know that's what the Lord wants. You see, even though we were separated for a long time, the Lord acted so we met again. I believed that this is God's will. We should be happy. " I said and continued to wipe away her tears.
I was a little surprised when he suddenly hugged me and cried more on my shoulder.
"Thank you. Thank you. I love you Nikita. I'm sorry for not being able to see how much I love you before. But now, I'm sure of how I feel. I love you Nikita. I love you so much. Please say that you still love me. " He said, begging me to say that. I slapped his shoulder and then broke away from his embrace.
"It's not gone." I said and laughed some more. "Don't cry. You're really ugly." I said he laughed.
I was a little surprised again when he pulled me to kiss me but I also immediately blocked my hand to my lips.
"Oppsss! Calm down Kent. Flirt again. Thick don ah." I said and laughed. He frowned at what I said.
"Is that still necessary? Eh we already have a child oh. I know we're not going to do that either." He said like a child sulking. For really my son. My son will definitely inherit from him.
I got up from my knees because we teenagers looked like we were crying while on our knees. He also stood up.
"Ayyy, are you hahaha. After you hurt me you want to come back instant? Why, you're pre endangered hahaha." I laughed. I stirred the mongoose again because it was slightly sticky to the casserole.
"I love you." He just said that's why it's my cheek, it's all hot. I know I'm blushing so I just focus on what I'm mixing my attention.
"May I ask? How come I don't know that something happened to us?" He wondered question me. I turned to him.
"It's simple. I was the first to wake up so I dressed you and I also changed the comforter we were lying on with blood so you don't know. I also left after non." I said.
"Guide. I don't know how delicious we made it." He said so my eyes widened at what he said. My hands automatically landed on his head to hit him.
"You're a monkey. W-what's delicious? You're going to stop being a monkey ahhh. It's too late." I said and shyly avoided looking at him. He laughed as I hit his head.
"Just a joke. What's that last? I want five children." He said and hugged me from behind. I can really feel the heat on my cheek. I'm really embarrassed. Busettt!
"Let's take a walk today." He told me.
Nikita's POV,
I am currently helping my son now wear his polo. Kent would pick us up to introduce us to his parents.
Honestly, I"m really nervous right now. I'm aware that Kent's parents didn't like me back then, I just don't know now. I just pray that they will accept my son.
Kent's parents don't like me. I know that because every time I go to their house, they don't winewelcome me. I just feel like air to them when I go.
"Mommy, is my other grandma as nice as my grandma?" Levi asks, referring to Kent's mom. I smiled at him then slightly ruffled his hair.
"Of course." I said trying to sound convincing.
He didn't ask again. Then we both left the room and went downstairs. That's right, we heard the horn of Kent's car.
"Daddy, will I meet grandma today?" He was descended from Levi. He first kissed it on the cheek and then lifted it.
The size of my child.
It's just funny that even though he's a man and a little understanding, he's still kissing her on the cheek. He is also not disgusted when called baby. Usually, that's what I read in the book.
He's like half bookworm and half baby. Hahah!
"Yes baby. Are you ready?" Kent also asked him. Kent approached me to kiss me on the cheek. I just let him because he was like that before, every time we met.
"I'm a bit nervous." Kent frowned at what our son had said. "What if they won't like me?" Levi added.
"How can you say that?" Kent asked that our son's vision.
"Because I'm weird? I mean, my classmates in the US sometimes call me that." My son said.
I didn't know he was bullied there.
"No son, you're not weird. You just happen to do things that they don't usually do." Kent's convincing him. Ment opened the backseat and let Levi in.
When he closed the door of his car, he turned to me. I mouth 'I don't know' to him when I see his questioning face. He opened the door to the passenger's seat so I entered. He turned around in his seat.
When we arrived at their house, I could not get rid of my nervousness. I was nervous to face Kent's parents who used to dislike me.
I turned to Kent when he suddenly took my hand. I saw that he was holding Levi as well.
"Don't worry, they'll accept you." He would ease me when he saw my reaction. He turned to our son and guided us inside.
"Mom!" Kent called his mother after we entered their house. I changed a little in their house. It's because it's new. But it still feels like a house full of authority, just like before.
The lady I already knew turned to us. It's setting the table.
"Oh son, ..." I saw the shock in his eyes when I saw the boy holding Kent's hand. He released it from Kent's hand and held me. Seems scared.
"Oh, N-Nikita." Kent's mom mentioned recovering slightly from the shock. He approached us and then scolded Kent and then looked at me.
"It's good to see you again, Ma'am." I smiled at the lady. I'm used to call her 'Ma'am' before. He doesn't tell me to call him 'tita' or 'mommy'.
I saw him smile at me.
"N-no, c-call me tita if you want." He said I was a little surprised. But still, I tried to smile at her.
"A-ah, y-yes tita." I just said and frowned a little.
"Ah mom, this is Levi, ... our son." Kent"s sudden introduction to our son. I saw that his mother was surprised and turned to our son.
"A-your son?" Kent's mom asked incredulously while looking at my son.
"I'll explain to you later. Please, let us in first." Kent said to his mother.
"A-ah, yes. But, can I ... touch my grandchild?" The lady asked us hesitantly. I turned to Levi who was now looking at the lady seriously.
"Ah son, this is your other grandmother. She's your dad's, mommy." Introducing Kent"s mommy to Levi. He looked at the lady again and smiled.
"Can I also call you grand-mom?" Smiling my son said to Kent"s mommy.
"Of course, dear. I'm your grand-mom. Come, I'll introduce you to your grand-dad. He's in the library." I saw the light in my son's eyes when he mentioned the library.
It looked at me. I guess, he's asking for my permission. I smiled at him and nod. He left me and approached his grandmother.
"Oh, kids, I'll leave you first ahhh. I'll just call your dad." The lady said and pulled my son away.
"Yes, mom." Kent said and pulled me into the kitchen. I immediately helped the helpers when I saw them getting ready.
The helpers hesitated but Kent just told them to let me go because I was really like that before.
Soon Kent's mother and father, along with my son, entered the kitchen. My son was still laughing and then his grandfather.
"It's nice to see you again, Sir." I greeted Kent's daddy again after they entered.
"Nikita, ija. It's also nice to see you again here. Just call me tito or daddy, whatever you want." He also smiled and said then they sat down. I sat down with my son next to me.
"How come you had a baby Kent? Why didn't you let us know?" Kent's daddy immediately asked him. He looked at me and then told everything to his daddy.
I saw the shock and conscience on their faces after Kent told them everything.
"We're very sorry ija about that. We really regret what we did before. My son really loves you." Kent's mother told me. I smiled at them. Smile saying I have forgiven you".
"It's been a long time, t-tita. The important thing is, God still made us meet again." I said.
"We want you now for our son." The lady said so I was embarrassed. I'm not used to this on them.
"So when's the wedding?" I was surprised by Kent"s daddy"s first question as we ate. I panicked and immediately turned to Levi. I rubbed his cheek with the sauce he was still eating.
"It's up to Nikita. Maybe not now, but I will do everything for her to marry me." Kent chuckled. I was embarrassed to avert my eyes.
"I want a grand wedding for you two." Kent's mommy's happy groan.
Are we getting married?
Why do I seem to tremble? Shemayyyy! Your son hasn't even processed me yet!
I didn't respond to the marriage discussion because Kent might say I was waiting for him to propose. Even if it's really true. Hahaha!
After lunch with Kent's family we decided to go home to Levi's house. I still have work to finish because I worked and I'm home again. I also need to refresh for my presentation tomorrow with the investors.
"I'll see you tomorrow, then." Kent said goodbye to me then kissed my cheek. He approached Levi and kissed him on the cheek.
"I love you." He said and kiss me on the lips which makes me stunt for a moment.
Kent's flirtation. In front of our son.
Perooo ehkkk! The buset, has not yet proposed.
I didn't answer and Levi and I entered when he left. He still has a job.
"Mommy, why daddy is not staying with us?" My son asked after we entered. I sat down so we were equal.
"You can't, baby. Next time." I said. Because your father is slow, it takes time to propose to your abnormal father!
Nikita's POV,
"Are you done?" Kent asked as he entered Levi's room.
"Just wait." I said and continued searching for what my son would wear.
He said he only requested work and home because we were going to go for a walk at the mall. Family bonding seems, we're not even married yet. Hahaha!
It's been a few days since I told him everything. I'm so happy because my son has met his daddy. I was also happy because Kent made me feel that he loved me.
At work, even though I have a car, he still really insists that he pick me up, considering that he has a job. But because I didn't want to make him tired anymore, I didn't agree. I know because he handles their company so I know he's tired too. But I agreed that he would take Levi to school, I was also recovering from the year I took them away.
"Daddy, can we also go to the bookstore? Help me find story books, so Mommy can have something new to read for me at night? Pleaseeee!" My son was still cute with his daddy when he got close.
"Sure, son." Kent said and ruffled Levi's hair slightly.
"Daddyyy ..." Levi sighed because his hair was messy. He doesn't want to mess up his hair.
"I'm sorry, son. You don't want to mess up your hair." Kent chuckled.
"Son, remember what I told you before, don't be extravagant. Know your limits. Money is not that easy to earn." I preach to my son because I don"t want him to be spoiled.
"You're Mommy's right, Levi. But as long as its for good, you can always ask us." Kent added.
"I bare that in mind, Mommy and Daddy." My son said more. I smiled because my son was so obedient. That's what he inherited from me. Hahaha!
"There you go, handsome." I said simultaneously pinching my son's cheek.
"Let's go." How is Kent. I stood up and reached for my pouch on Levi's bed.
We got in Kent's car. Throughout the trip, they almost only talked because they were talking about video games and books.
"Where will we go first, Daddy?" My son asked when we entered the mall.
"Let's have lunch first, son." Kent said so we ate first. We even quarreled because we wanted to eat differently. But since they were two and Kent was supposed to pay, they still complied. Kukulit eh. Be a father.
"Daddy, bookstore." My son taught at NBS when we went through that. Levi suddenly let go of his father's hand and ran inside.
"Levi!" I called him but he is now inside.
We immediately followed him. That's how he really is when he sees a bookstore. You just need to buy the establishment itself and take all the books home.
I know I can donate books that Levi doesn't want. He was so inclined to scan the book, he knew what he should give away.
I saw Kent catch up with Levi so I just let them go first. I'm just looking for a book to read.
"I've already read that." I turned to Kent who was next to me. "You want a Fifty Shades-like honeymoon too, babe? I can be wilder than that?" I immediately kicked him for what he said. The wild shemsss!
How about the wilder?
Ayyy shemayyy! I'm getting wild because of this Kent.
"Fifty black shades on your eyes, you want?" I told him to show my fist at once.
"Hmmm, I'm thinking of a place for our honeymoon." My eyes widened again because of what he said. So I kicked him again. I can feel the redness on my cheek. I averted my eyes.
You haven't processed gay yet!
I just left him because my mind was getting wild, thinking of honeymoon.
When I saw Levi and them again, they were already carrying a lot of story books that were just thin. Good for night story. They countered it and Kent paid.
I was surprised when Kent and Levi suddenly pulled me into the photo studio.
"Papapicture tayo?" I still ask.
"Yes, so I can have it in my wallet. Of course, yours too." Kent replied. I didn't growl anymore and let go. I also want a family picture.
After we took the picture, we developed it and we put the large copy in the frame so that he could also display it in his office.
"A lot of people are asking if I already have a girlfriend or a wife. So that's it, they'll see that on my table." My eyes narrowed at what he said.
"Is someone still harassing you?" I suddenly ask. I tried not to sound bitter but there's something in me that seems jealous. But more likely, I was triggered.
"Nah, I always brushed them off. I'm just saying I already have Nikita." He just said and paid for the photo we developed.
I blushed at what he said.
'He said he already has Nikita. Ayieeeeee! '
"Because I also tell my lovers that I don't have a husband yet." I tried to make fun of him but he immediately turned to me and his eyes narrowed.
"It's like you!" He said and snorted.
"Oh why? I don't really have a husband yet!" I was joking with him again because I was happy with his reaction.
"Hoyyy where are we going again?" I stopped when he suddenly pulled Levi and me.
"I'm going to marry you. I want that, with Levi next." He said he was the one my eyes widened. I slapped him on the shoulder because he was back in the 'honeymoon' thingy.
I haven't even been able to buy lingerie yet!
Charotttt! I'm really wild! Hahahah!
Kent laughed at what I said. My son also laughed even though I knew he still didn't understand that.
I just sucked and then walked away.
"Hoyy, where are you going?" I asked as the father and son walked away.
"Xbox, Mommy." My son said more and they even laughed. I walked quickly to follow them.
"That's too much for this day, Levi. Remember what I told you." I said to my child.
"But, Mommy ..." My son begged but I shook my head. I don't want him to be spoiled.
He looked at his daddy, thinking that he might save him. I also looked at Kent and glared.
"But, babe ..." Kent teased.
Don't be weak, Nikita! Don't do it first hahah!
"You bought yours but no one has Levi." I said firmly so he looked at his son.
"Baby, your Mommy's right. Let's go to the arcade nalang." Kent said to our son. My son just snorted and tried to cry.
"Levi, you can't always get what you want. All right, if you cry there, let's go home. Your Daddy and you are just arcade. That's fun too." I told him trying to cheer him up.
"Oh, let's go to the arcade before your Mommy changes her mind. Go ahead." Kent was still threatening him so he just nodded.
We can get cheaper in the arcade than his Xbox. Hahahah!
And they just played what-what. They still play basketball. I'm just a picture of the two. They also laugh when they play KTV.
I hope this kind of fun will continue.
Nikita's POV,
"Are you all ready? Wait, what did your aunt say? Is she coming home?" Kent ask me.
"Yes. He said we just closed the house, he's going home." I answered here and then I put Levi's shoes on.
Abnormal as my son's father, he decided to go to Paris because their favorite author had an exclusive book signing. He is still taking care of my son.
This son of mine is also addicted to books, he agreed. JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series and Erin Hunter, author of Warriors, were there. He said he wanted to meet to take a picture.
I wouldn't have agreed because I have a job in case Kent is really naughty. He added that he wanted us to take a trip out of the country.
After we checked all the outlets at home and even the luggage we were carrying we headed to the airport. Our flight is at nine o'clock.
"Daddy, I really want to meet Ms. Rowling and Ms. Hunter. They're my favorite." The child said happily.
"Your wealth too, right? Going to another country just for book signing?" I spoke to the two of them.
"Babe, I also want to have a quality time with you outside the country. And besides, I want to get back at you right? Love you!" Kent's veil but I just stared at it. Kakeleg eh! Hahahah!
When we heard the calling of the passemgers of our plane we got up and boarded. The three of us are side by side. I check Levi who is now shades again. Levi was at the window, I was in the middle and Kent was next to me.
When we landed in Paris, I couldn"t help but get excited. I also dream of going there because it's the center of fashion.
"Let's go. Let's rest first son because the book signing is the next day. Tomorrow we'll buy books." Kent said and we boarded the waiting cab to deliver us to the hotel Kent had booked.
Everything is settled raw since he also planned. The case is abnormal, only two days before the flight was said.
Just like Kent said, we picked out a book for the book signing they were going to. We left their Harry Potter and Warriors books because they were too heavy in the suitcase. They have double books like that.
"Let's visit their clothing shops here. I also want to see their fashion designs here." I was tempted to plead with them.
"Sure, babe." Kent said and kissed me on the cheek. Levi holds two of his Harry Potter books and two books of his Warriors. He can't carry all the books. Hahahah!
"Hello, little one. I'm surprised that you already read my books?" JK said to him. I just took pictures of them because my son was taking pictures.
"I also watched the movies. I really love your book, Ma'am. And I'm so grateful of my dad because he's the one who brought us here." My son was smiling and talking to JK.
"Oh, you're daddy is so supportive." She said as she refers to Kent.
"I'm also your fan." Kent said. JK chuckled.
"Thank you." Then she sweetly smiled.
Next they went to Erin. As usual, my son gossiped about Jaypaw, Hollypaw, and Lionpaw in the 'Power of the Three Warriors' he read.
He also just laughs at my son's story.
Kent went to his favorite authors. I don't know them, but I'm sure they're famous. There are only those who can go to this kind of book signing.
After their chitchats with their author, I invited us to go to one of the biggest clothing lines in Paris.
"These ones are good for you." Kent said and showed me a red halter dress with a bit of cleavage.
"I like that." I said and grab the dress from him to measure.
"Tadaaa!" I said when I put it on.
"Quite ... revealing." Kent said while looking at my cleavage. I looked in the mirror to see myself.
"Not much." I said.
I looked at my son who was now busy reading the books he was holding. I grab him and take a gray stripes long sleeve with belt straps. I also got orange pants to dress up.
My son did not growl. Perhaps, I am used to the fact that when I shop for clothes, I also look for her. Hahah!
When I measured it for him, I put it in the basket and then I went around again to look for Kent.
I pulled him to his surprise. I let him into the dressing room to measure the long jacket I had chosen that looked like a cardigan to him.
"Why did you help Levi get dressed? Why don't you come with me? ... lika naaaa!" He said suddenly and ready to pull me in but I immediately blocked my fist.
"Stop me Kent ahhh! You might not be able to repeat me." I said.
"So there's more to come? Ayieeee, that's enough for the five children." He said so I closed the door with all my might. He's still stuck. Hahahah!
THE next day, Kent invited us to go to the Eiffel Tower to take a picture. It was a symbol that we really went to Paris.
My son's father will still be the father of my children! Charottt! Harottttt!
"Excuse me ..." He called to the scattered photographers around. "Can you take us a picture?" Please let him more. The photographer nodded and took a picture of us.
"Also here. Thank you." He spoke to the photographer again and handed over his cellphone.
"Thank you. How much?" He asked the hightech photographer because the pics were printed immediately. He had a small printer so he printed it right away. Kent paid and invited us to go up again.
"Daddy, I thought this is made of gold because it looks yellow on pictures but why is it color orange? Or what do you call this kind of metal?" Levi asked his father in surprise. Kent, on the other hand, laughed at us, which my son teased.
"Those were just lights, son. You want to see it at night? We will go to The Pont des Arts or the Padlock Bridge in Paris. You're gonna seal your promises there. You want to see it also?" Kent told Levi that my son nodded immediately.
As Kent's trip always was, we took another picture at the top of the Eiffel tower. We just ate hungry. As usual, my son likes French foods so he is very full.
"Son, eat slowly. You won't be grabbed." I laugh at my son"s rebuke. He sniffed again as if he was embarrassed again.
As Kent says, late at night we went to Padlock Bridge where we could still see the Eiffel tower.
My son was amazed when he saw the lighting of the tower, so as I. I took another picture of Kent and our son and then Levi and family picture seeing Paris.
We were just looking at Levi"s Eiffel tower because Kent even bought a padlock when my phone vibrated.
"Hoyyy girl kaaaa! What do I see you have a family picture of?" I read Mara's chat.
"What?" I chatted her back.
"I saw Kent's instagram. He posted your picture in Paris. Girllll, are you comeback of that grass?" She chatted back.
I checked Kent's instagram and my eyes widened when I saw all the pictures of us since I confessed to him including now.
I looked at my phone again when someone chatted again.
"Son, your dad is awake." Chat ni mama sakin which makes my heart thump.
Dad is awake.
Nikita's POV,
We have just returned from Paris. We were only there for five days because Kent and I still had work to do. Levi, on the other hand, will re -enter after their break.
The amount we went eh. The father and son get tired when they are together. It makes me a picture nanny.
I even remember my son's search for my son's portrait of the Mona Lisa in the Louvre Museum. We still laugh at him. I don't even know if it's really there. Kent, after all, told a story about Leonardo da Vinci's portrait of Mona Lisa without eyebrows. Hahaha!
Then I was able to tell the story of Hunchback of Notre Dame when we went to the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris. He even bought the book so that he could meet Quasimodo. Napakakulit talaga!
Then we went to the Musée d"Orsay. I then remembered Levi saying that he was going to be a student to paint so that he could also be in the Museum. Shocked with awkwardness.
I really enjoyed the Palace of Versailles. Very good indeed, super. But we laughed at what Levi said. He also said that his dream is to build a palace in the Philippines. You really are the Monarch of the Philippines.
It's scary to take Levi everywhere. Suddenly a dream is formed. Maybe when he manages our company, the Philippines will suddenly rule. Hahaha!
"Mommyyy ..." I turned to call me.
"Oh, you're awake son. Did you sleep well?" I asked my son just as he entered my room.
We just got home last night and we plan to go to papa in the hospital because mama said he was awake.
"Aren't we going to visit grand-dad, today?" He asked suddenly and approached me.
"We will, son. Your daddy is going to come here. He is also going to come." I said. Kent said that we would visit papa at the same time.
I was wondering how dad would react when he met Kent. I haven't even introduced Kent to them yet. But I'm more afraid of my dad's reaction when he finds out that Kent got me pregnant.
My son and I went down to eat because Kent texted me that he was coming.
"Babe!" I turned off the shower first when I heard Kent"s voice calling me.
"What's that?" I ask.
"Levi and I are leaving first. We'll just buy fruit for your dad." He said.
"All right." I just said and continued to shower.
When I finished I went out and got dressed. It also fixed a bit. It's true that they came back to Kent after I fixed it.
"Are you nervous?" I ask Kent when I notice he is driving quietly.
"Huh? Somewhat." He said. I didn't even speak because I was also nervous about papa's reaction.
When we got to the hospital, we went straight to their dad's room. We even knocked before entering.
"Pa." "Grand-dad!" Levi and I said the same thing when we saw dad happily chatting with mom.
"My apoooo." Dad said and hugged Levi.
"How are you, grand-dad?" My son asks while hugging dad.
"I'm fine now, grandson. You're here." He said and even pinched my son's nose.
"Ahh, pa!" Dad looked at me and Kent. I held Kent's hand.
"Kent ... Levi's father." I blurted out. I saw papa's emotionless eyes.
"Your mama already told me about him." He said and turned to Kent. "I am not happy with what happened between you too. But I'm fine with you now as long as you won't hurt my daughter anymore. Don't hurt her anymore especially since you already have a child. I wanted to I can't totally blame you for that because my son didn't tell you right away about your son. I know it hurts you that you probably once disappeared next to your son. And now that you know about your family, what's your plan? " Dad said to Kent.
I felt Kent's grip tighten on my hand while he faced my father.
"Sir, I wanted to say sorry to you, personally. I was very wrong about hurting your daughter before. I'm sorry. If it wasn't because of Lauren, maybe I'm really married now. But I believe God really want us back. He still gave me a chance to be with her again. I love your daughtee, Sir. She's one of a kind. A perfect girlfriend, perfect mother, and a perfect wife ... if ever she'll let me be her husband. " It was as if my heart was pounding when he suddenly faced me.
"I know I was very cowardly then and weak because I wasn't able to clear my feelings before. But, Sir ..." Then he faced my father again. "I am now sure about my feelings for her ..." He looked at me.
I don"t know where Kent gets what he says but I can only say one thing, it was as if what he said touched my heart.
I saw the edge of her tears so I was also on the side.
"I've been waiting a long time for you to wake up. I want to say goodbye to you if I can ask for your son's hand." My eyes widened at what Kent said.
I never expected that he would propose to me in front of my parents. I used to be very anxious for him to propose to me. By the way, my dad is waiting for you to wake up.
I saw dad and mom smile at what Kent said. He turned to me and suddenly knelt in front of me. I immediately covered my mouth in shock.
"Nikita, I was once a bastard before. A bastard who once hurt you. A bastard who once make you cry and a bastard who left you before while you're carrying our son. I admit it thou. Kahit na siraulo ako .. . "
"Kent, you're backstabbing yourself too much." I groan because he's a bastard bastard.
"You come in later, Niks. You can only say 'Yes' and 'Yes' later." And there my tears stopped. I hit him because don.
"I'm sorry, babe because I didn't have a time when you were having a hard time conceiving with Levi. I'm sorry because I hurt you at a time when you should have told me about your pregnancy. I'm sorry for everything babe. Now , I wanted to enter marriage and a lifetime with you. Hope you will accept me as your husband ... "
"What are you saying? Is that a wedding vow?" I laughed saying even though I was super touched by what he was saying.
"Will you accept to be my wife? ... please say yes." He said after pulling out the ring. I covered my mouth and suddenly burst into tears.
"Y-yes." I said.
"Yes?"
"Mommy said 'yes', Daddy. Go put on her ring." He laughed at what our son said.
"I love you, Nikita Arellano-Fernandez." He said and suddenly hugged me.
"We're not married yet so Fernandez isn't here yet." Laughing I said as I wiped the tears from my eyes.
"Soon. Let's get married." He said so I slapped him on the arm.
"I'm happy for both of you." Mama said and smiled.
"Hope you won't hurt her anymore." Dad also said that Kent just returned the smile.
I was surprised when he suddenly touched my cheek and gave me a kiss on the lips.
"I love you." He said when we split up. My cheeks turned red and I looked at my son. Mama covered my son's eyes.
"Where did you buy this?" I ask while looking at my diamond engagement ring.
"In Paris." He said more.
That's why he left the hotel where we were staying for a while.
But, ekkkkk! I can't believe that Kent will be my husband soon.
Epilogue
Kent's POV,
"Hoyyy!" Calling my attention to my classmate who is crying now under the tree.
"Hoyyy!" I called again without it looking back at me.
"Hoyyy we still have work to do." I called him again. He looked up but still did not take his hand away from his eyes.
"Are you ok?" I still asked him even though my question was very stupid. I see you crying, I'll ask.
He didn't answer me and nodded back.
"Guide? I can tell you more about this. It's scary! ..." I said while shaking my head.
"My dearest woman broke up with me because she's getting married. Maybe she's married now ..." I was surprised and she suddenly turned to me.
"Are you guys really like that? Like that?" He suddenly asked. Still sniffing. My forehead frowned.
"What's that?" I asked him.
"In sex." He said directly so my eyes widened even more.
"Hoyy virgin pa ko nuh?" I defend immediately.
"Is that how you show your love for women? Is that how you measure their love for you? That's how ---"
"Who said that? The cringy of your question. I'm still innocent of that. Don't ask, not me. You generalize us. Not all men like that. Maybe the one who told you was just stupid. no. We haven't entered for a long time --- "
"The laswa of what you're saying." He groaned so I laughed.
He just started a topic like that, now it looks like he doesn't know.
"You look ugly, Kent." Nikita replied to me. It's been a few months since we talked. Now I'm flirting with her.
"You're so cute." I reply to him.
"Oh go ahead. It's my turn." I laughed at his reply.
"Yes, Kent." He said as we walked towards our canteen.
"You say?" I laughed when I asked him because he suddenly said 'yes'.
"You don't want me to be your girlfriend anymore." Then she chuckled. My eyes widened because of what he said.
Is he already answering me?
"Y-you mean ---"
"Your OA will react. Hahaha! Yes, I'm answering you." He said I was overjoyed. I'm so happy! My girlfriend is the woman I love.
Because I was so happy, I picked him up.
"H-hoyyy! I'm going down. We're PDAs too."
"There they are! I'm your girlfriend! Promise, you won't regret it you answered me. Yesss!" I shouted not so loudly.
"Hoyyy let me down. Pleaseee! Too many people ohh!" He said and shyly bowed.
"Can I kiss you?" I asked him. Her eyes widened and I could also see the redness on her cheek.
"Don't be here. We're too PDAs. It's school, Kent. It's not just sightseeing." He said so I took him down.
It was one of the happiest days of my life.
"Babe, they're inviting Jonas. It's his birthday. Can I come with you?" I texted Nikita when my friends texted and invited me to have a drink at their bar.
"All right babe. I trust you. Just don't get too drunk. No one will take care of you don." He replies to me which makes me smile.
She's the woman who won't ban you anywhere you go. Not because he doesn't know you so he just lets you, but because he trusts you a lot.
With our togetherness of a year. Yes, we are a year old. In that one year, I really tried hard to get her trust on me because of her experience with her past boyfriend. And when I got that I didn't waste it. So now, he has a lot of trust in me.
I just woke up that I was in my condo.
Who brought me here?
"Good morning babe, I'm in my condo now." I text Nikita. It was a long time before he replied. Maybe still asleep.
"Really babe? Good that your safe." He replied to me.
Our relationship was perfect, not until I received a text from my Mommy.
"Go home now, son. I have important things to discuss with you." She said on her text.
"Lauren is here." My heart pounded when I saw the woman I loved sitting across from mommy.
"Kent!" He called me and kissed me on the cheek.
"You came back." Out of nowhere I say.
"You will soon be married. Kent will be handling our business and so on as you." I couldn"t absorb what they were talking about Mommy but I still had the strength to speak.
"No, Mom. I have a girlfriend."
"I know and I suggest that you should break up with her ---"
"No. How could I hu ---"
"Kent." I turned to Lauren when she called me.
"We cannot accept that girl in our family. Never!" Mommy said heavily. I looked at Daddy and he looked at me the same way.
"Babe, see you now, I have something to tell you." I brushed away my tears when I texted that to her.
This is the day when I decided to break up with her.
I'm sorry, Niks. I'm sorry and I know this decision will hurt you.
I-I think I still love Lauren. I 'm sorry.
"OK. S-hope m-be m-happy. M-love s-him h-more than I love s-him. I'm h-happy for y-you. You're now free Kent. T-thanks for e-everything. " This is one of my darkest days of my life.
But destiny loves us. God let us meet again. Even though we went through a huge wound and a long wait before we met again, I can say that it was very worth it.
I waited, that's what I did so I got him again. I never got tired of waiting for him even though I thought then we had no hope.
"You may now kiss the bride." I touched Nikita to her cheek and I slowly moved my lips closer to hers.
"I'm happy for both of you." Our parents both said that to us.
"I love you." I said to her.
"I love you too." She said and smiled to me.
"I loved you. I love you. I will always love you." I said and kissed her passionately.
"Babe, what do you want to eat?" I ask and lean to give her a quick kiss. I loosened my necktie.
"Chicken curry." She said cheerfully.
"Again?" I said which made her pout. I turned around to cook for him. I was surprised when I suddenly heard a shout.
"OUCHHH, KENTTT! I'M GOING TO GIVE BIRTH TO AKOOO!" I immediately ran to the living room to go to him.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO MOMMY?"
"Levi, get your Mommy's things." I said to our oldest son.
"Babe, this is our fifth. I know, you know what to do." I said trying to calm her down.
"Busettt! This is really the last, Kent." He has a hard time saying. Napapout naman ako.
I'll just give him pills! Heheheh!
..... The End .....
