Chapter 48

I WAS AN HOUR LATE. Sigurado akong hindi na ako hinintay ni Damon. Malapit lang ang restaurant sa spa kaya hindi niya kakayaning paghintayin ang parents ko - not because of his loyalty and respect, but probably because he wanted them to trust him for his deceit.

Pumasok ako sa private room kung saan naroon na si

Mama, Papa, at si Damon. Si Damon ang una kong nakita.

Madilim ang titig niya sa akin nang pumasok ako. I looked away but confidently strutted towards my parents for a kiss.

"Sorry, I'm late. Natagalan ang spa appointment ko..." sabay halik kay Mama galing kay Papa.

There was a feast, judging on the table of this private room. Pero nang natahimik ako, agad kong napuna ang ere doon. It was thick and tensed.

"Kumain ka muna, hija..." Mama offered.

I really didn't have an appetite but I didn't want to give it away. I smiled at my mother. Naupo sa tabi ni Damon at tiningnan na ang pagkain sa aking pinggan.

Napatingin ako kay Damon. He looked at me sharply. I smiled at him sweetly.
