JUST ANOTHER SCANDAL Chapter 27
Art Theodore"Will you stop drinking?" mahinang bulong ko kay Mira."What babe?" tanong nito sa akin bago ngumiti. "Hindi naman po maglalasing, grabe ang strict naman"Gusto kong bawiin na lang ang sinabi ko dahil mali sya ng intindi. I don't want her to drink dahil baka gumawa na naman sya ng kahihiyan or worst baka ako pa ang utusang mag uwi sa kanya."Hija, you look lovely in your gown" napalingon kami sa dumating, it is her dad. Senator Ramon Soledad."Daddy! I look good in pink, right?""You always look good anak" nakangiti itong bumaling sa akin. "Bagay na bagay kayong dalawa"Spare me you old hag! I wouldn't be in here if you are not holding my mom and dad in their necks but kaunting panahon na lang, matatapos na rin ito."Where do we sit?" I asked them."Oh, we will be seating in front, we are VIPs in here, we will be seating along with the one who runs this show" mayabang na sabi ni Sen. Ramon.Nauna na akong maglakad papunta doon pero mabilis na kumapit sa braso ko si Mira p

Amari"Tatiana, stop playing with your food anak" sabi ko dito at bored lang nya akong tiningnan."Mama, do I have a brother?"Kusang naibagsak ko ang tinidor na hawak ko dahil sa tanong nya.Hindi ko pa nasasabi si Arthur sa kanya dahil masyado pa syang bata para i handle ang lahat ng iyon and her asking me this really surprised me."B-bakit mo natanong?""Well, I dreamt of a boy, he said he is my older brother and that he will always protect us"Mabilis akong gumilid para itago ang mga luha ko dahil hindi sinungaling na bata si Tatiana.Arthur, anak, is this how you want to communicate with us? Through your sister?"He said he loves you and-and-"And?""And our papa. Do we have the same papa, mama?"Mabilis kong pinunasan ang luha ko at tumingin sa kanya para hawakan ang pisngi nya."Yes anak, same kayo ng daddy""I do not really want to talk to my daddy but that boy-"He is your kuya, anak. He is your older brother""I do not really want to talk to daddy but kuya wants me to tell h

Amari's POV."Tatiana, I told you that you are not allowed to curse! Natutunan mo ba yan kay Tito Rozen mo?"Umikot ang paningin ko dahil sa narinig kong sumbong sakin ni Hanna, apparently my good daughter just cursed in russian."I'm sorry mama" Tatiana answered on the other line.I sighed, saktong bumukas din naman ang elevator kaya umayos ako ng tayo at maayos na binuhat ang paper bag ng groceries na binili ko ngayong umaga.I am now residing to the condo I mentioned and it's been more than a week and I won't be able to live long kung puro delivery at fast food ang kakainin ko kaya naman namili na ako.Hawak ng dalawang kamay ko ang paper bag dahil sa takot na matapon ito at nasa pagitan ng balikat at braso ko ang cellphone ko kung saan kausap ko ang anak ko."Alright! Ano pa bang magagawa ko, just promise not to do it again! Hmm?""I love you mama!""I love you too! Behave!""Is that Equinox?"Muntik ko ng mabitawan ang dala-dala ko ng biglang sumulpot sa kung saan si Art."My goo

Amari's POV.Equinox is quietly sitting in his lanai ng dumaan ako sa bahay nito.He smiled ng magiliw na kumaway sa kanya si Tatiana na ngayon ay nagbibisikleta."Daddy, look! I can do this" sigaw ni Tati kaya naman tumayo pa si Equinox para silipin sya ng mas maayos."That's my girl!" masayang sagot nito at saktong napatingin sya sakin kaya ngumiti ito. "Kararating mo lang?"I nodded and came closer, mabilis naman nya akong pinaghila ng upuan."Hi mama!" bati sakin ng anak ko and I just waved at her dahil bumalik na ito sa pagbibisikleta."I didn't know na uuwi ka ngayon dahil sa schedule mo, you are supposed to go to provinces after provinces" I told him."Yeah, I will need to catch another flight tonight pero one of my campaign talk got cancelled and I grabbed that opportunity to see Tatiana"I smiled hearing this from him."Equinox-"I hope you know na hindi lang dahil gusto kita kaya minahal ko si Tati, I really love her and see her as my daughter, given the fact that I help e y

Art TheodoreTahimik at nakasimangot nyang binuksan ang passenger side ng kotse ko.Saglit ko syang tinitigan kaya naman mas kumunot ang noo nya."Papasok ka ba o sisipain kita papasok?""Adi""Wag mo kong simulan, Art" she said in a warning tone kaya wala na akong nagawa kundi pumasok sa loob ng kotse.Literal ata na natanggal ang tama ng alak sakin ng makita ko sya kanina sa presinto.Pabalibag nyang sinarado ang pinto at syang naging paglapit ng bagong dating na si Hossam.Halos magdikit ang kilay nya sa sobrang pagkakasimangot.But despite of that, Amari Vann is still the most beautiful woman in my eyes.Dahan-dahan kong ibinaba ang bintana so that I can hear what they are talking about."Make sure that no news will leaks, do you understand, Hossam?""Yes, my lady. I'll make arrangements and ensure that this won't affect the Congressman's reputation""Let me know what you need""No worries, my lady. Do you want us to take you home?"Mabilis na bumaling ng tingin sakin si Amari kay

"I can't"That's the next word he said after I asked him if he can let me go, hindi agad sya sumagot kaya naman nagdrive na ako patungong bahay nya para ihatid sya."Ano?" I asked him.Tinanggal nya ang seatbelt nya at bahagyang binuksan na ang pintuan ng kotse."You asked me if I can let you go, and my answer for that can't be answered by just a no or a yes. If I say yes, I will be fooling myself, if I say no, I would sould like a selfish jerk husband, so my answer would be I can't let you go, hindi ko alam kung paano kita makakayanang bitawan ulit, hindi ko kayang maisip na mapupunta ka sa iba kasi mahal na mahal pa rin kita. I will clear this situation with Mira and I will go to you to explain everything""Hindi mo na kailanga-"Don't push me yet, let me settle and explain everything, then you can decide if you still want to go"I sighed, he faked a smile before he went out of the car."Mama" napalingon ako sa pagtawag sakin ni Tatiana. "I don't like to eat vegetables, they're gros

Amari Vann"I like the weather in here, mama"Nilagay ko ang cellphone ko sa bulsa ng coat ko pagkatapos kong magsend ng text message kay Art."I thought you prefer the winter in Russia" I asked Tatiana."Yes but the weather here in the Philippines is perfect for beaches and I want to go to the beach on my birthday" Tatiana jumped out of excitement."We'll go to the beach, anak""Will my papa come this time mama?"Parang kusang may kumurot sa puso ko dahil sa tanong nya.I knelt down to level myself so I can see her better."A-akala ko ba galit ka kay papa, you always say that-kaya akala ko""I am mad at him because he missed four birthdays already, he didn't bring me to school on my first day, I have no father on family day and even if I have Tito Rozen, Tito Raegan, Tito Enzo, and, Daddy Equinox,I feel like it would be better if I have my dad""Tati" mabilis kong niyakap ang anak ko."Can you tell him mama to stop flying airplanes for other people and just fly our private plane?

Art TheodoreI was awakened by a soft knock in our door. A part of myself don't want to wake up but I know that I have to at some point.I pulled her closer to hug her tighter, gumalaw ang ulo nya kaya akala ko ay magigising sya pero hindi, she looks so tired and yet having her here brings peace sa panandaliang panahon.A knock interrupted my thoughts again kaya wala na akong nagawa kung hindi mag t-shirt para pagbuksan kung sino man ito. I covered Amari with the comforter dahil malamig pa rin sa kwarto.I opened the door to see Nana Belen, Ate Susan, and Lena at the door, all smiling brightly at me."Uhm g-good morning?" I gave them a confused eyes."Ay-ay good morning Kuya Art" Lena greeted me first."Good morning Art hehe" Ate Susan gave me an awkward smile."Magandang umaga hijo" Nana Belen greeted me. I nodded kaya naman tila natauhan ulit sila. "Anong gusto mong agahan?"Mas kumunot ang noo ko dahil sa tanong ni Nana dahil madalas naman alam nya na kung anong ihahain para sa alm

JUST ANOTHER SCANDAL Epilogue
Art Theodore"Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans, the famous John Lennon said. I used to think otherwise dahil just like what everybody used to know about me, I like everything to be planned out, I do not like when things go the opposite way" I told everyone.It was just one regular day for me. I was just visiting one barangay to give some rice and groceries sa mga mamamayan.I was greeted by a lot of people except for one person who seemed to be lost in the crowd.I was simply trying to flirt with her but I guess it didn't work dahil nilayasan nya ako. That was the first time that somebody did that to me.I even asked myself kung bakit sobrang interested ako sa babaeng yun, but maybe it is because I am lonely, I just got out of a long term relationship with Mira.I don't know what made me attracted to her so bad. I thought we won't see each other again, but fate have its own way to play with people like me.I was so selfish to blame her and made it difficult for

Amari Vann"Mrs. Dela Cuesta, do you want to drop by anywhere before we head home?" one of Art's security asked me."Uh yeah, I want to go to this dessert cafe, may gusto si Tatiana na cheesecake" I told him and then I showed my phone.May kinausap sya gamit ang communication system nila, telling them that we will reroute dahil dadaan nga sa cafe.I was surprised by Art's announcement, hindi ko alam kung anong pumasok sa isip ng lalaking iyon pero hindi ko ipagkakailang natuwa talaga ako. He finally told everyone who am I to him. Dati, iniisip ko lang kung darating ba yung araw na magiging proud sya sakin at hindi na ako itatago sa publiko.I used to think that meeting him was a mistake, na ikinagulo lang ng buhay namin parehas ang pagkakamaling iyon but it turned out na, it was our fate. It is our destiny to be together, ang bumuo ng isang pamilyang parehas namin poprotektahan.I was lost in my thoughts and a loud sound made me deaf for a couple of seconds. I just felt the car makin

Amari Vann"I am delayed"That's what I told myself while staring at the mirror in the bathroom.What am I thinking? Sunod-sunod na kasi ang naging pangyayari that I literally ignored all of the symptoms.Just thinking about the possibility na buntis ako ay may matinding kabang bumabalot sakin.Art and I just got back and I don't know if it would be alright to surprise him with the news, if ever that I am.Naghilamos ako at nag decide ng bumaba para mag breakfast. I want to eat strawberry taho pero I know magiging hassle lang at kwestyonable kapag naghanap ako."Good morning mama!" masiglang bati sakin ni Tatiana.Mabilis naman na nagsilingunan ang mga taong kasama nitong nag aagahan. I smiled at them.Mabilis na tumayo si Art para salubungin ako, he immediately kissed the side of my head."Good morning Adi" he greeted me as he intertwined our hands guiding me to the dining table."Good morning po" I greeted everybody."Good morning hija, we are very thankful, you allowed us to visit
JUST ANOTHER SCANDAL Chapter 38
Amari VannMabilis kong pinahid ang takas kong luha. Ang emotional ko naman grabe.Art kneeled in one knee to level himself to Tatiana's height."Happy birthday, my princess""B-but are you really my papa?" That's the first word that came out of Tatiana's mouth. "Why didn't you tell me right away the moment that we met?"Art chuckled probably amazed by how witty my daughter is."Because I have to see first if you've been a good girl""And you still came even though I'm not a good girl" Tatiana's face is about to cry pero mabilis itong yumakap kay Art.The people around us started clapping as if they are on a show right now pero their claps slowly faded away as I focused on the two of them. Art was looking intently at Tatiana's face, memorizing every inch of it. He then turned his gaze to me and looked at me with a look that warmed my heart, he looked at me as if he is really proud how I raised Tatiana."Have you met Daddy Equinox? I think you and him will get along very well" Tatiana
JUST ANOTHER SCANDAL Chapter 37
Amari VannParang tinakasan ako ng lahat ng tapang at lakas ng loob ko ng marinig ko ang sinabi nya."She-she's not-"Please don't do that, Amari- we both know that she is mine, I don't know how this possible pero nararamdaman ko, the moment I saw her, ramdam kong akin sya so please just don't lie"I looked at Art and I can see confusion and frustration in his eyes."Art""Just please, I am begging you" he clasped both of his hands as if praying to me. "Anak ko yun diba?"Huminga ako ng malalim."Yes, Art. Tatiana is your daughter"Mabilis nyang naihilamos mula sa mukha nya papunta sa buhok nya ang mga palad nya and then he breathed in and out slowly as if calming himself."Aren't you going to ask how did I conceived Tatiana?"Tumingin sya sakin bago isinenyas ang kamay na magpatuloy ako."We stole your sperm donation for Mira years ago. Hanna was the one who brought it to me in Russia"His jaw literally dropped when I told him that na parang lahat iyon ay naging kasagutan sa mga tano
JUST ANOTHER SCANDAL Chapter 36
Nanatili ang paningin ko sa batang nasa harapan ko.Itinabingi pa nito ang ulo nya na parang nag-iisip din kagaya ko."I- I'm sorry, sir, baka nakukulitan ka na rito sa alaga ko" biglang sumingit yung nanny."No, it's fine" umayos ako ng tayo to get a better look.Ang imposible, napaka imposible ng nasa utak ko. Hindi ko napapansinb napapailing na ako."What did you say your name again?""I already said it mister, my name is as expensive as I am""Tati, let's go na hmm? Pasok na tayo ha tapos diba isusukat natin yung damit mo para sa birthday mo" her nanny told her.Nabigla ako ng magpapadyak ang bata."I told you nanny, I don't want to celebrate my birthday, I just want to go back to Russia!" pagkasabi nito ay mabilis nitong tinakbuhan iyong katulong.Mabilis naman itong sinundan ng huli and I remained on my position.Trying to erase the odd and impossible thought in my head.Maybe Amari just used some part of my name dahil lagi naman syang vocal how much she loves my name.I breath
JUST ANOTHER SCANDAL Chapter 35
Amari Vann"It's alright, Hazel" I told Art's sister while hugging her. "Tell Mommy Maureen that I forgive them, things happened and the only thing I or we can do is move forward""Ate Amari, sorry sa nagawa ni Kuya Art""Don't apologize on behalf of him, if I know your kuya don't feel sorry about what happened""Hindi ko talaga alam ang nangyari ate kasi alam naman namin that he only followed that woman to protect us, we can't believe as well na mabubuntis nya pala"Just hearing the last word send pain throughout my whole system."I can only wish your kuya happiness now, and give his freedom for their baby""Ate" halos maluha na ito. I hugged her one more time."Pursue your passion, hmm? Sige na, ipapahatid na kita" I told her and then she nodded.Nung maiwan ako ni Hazel ay syang pagpasok naman ni Equinox, looking so handsome dahil bago ang haircut nito."Ang gwapo mo naman senator""As always" mayabang nitong sagot kaya parehas kaming natawa."That's right, spend your time going on
