#Book 2 Chapter 32
” Thank you, Nass… I love you so much” We hugged each other again, and then I cried on his chest.
” I love you too, Keian…” He stroked my back.
” Stop crying, baby,” I chuckled.
Then looked at his eyes.
” I’m just happy.” He held my cheeks.
” I’m happy too…” We again hugged.
I’m so lucky that I met this man…
I’m still can’t believe that he proposed to me. At his birthday, which I forgot…
” Oh My Ghad Nass!” I parted from Keian and looked at Katie, who immediately hugged me.
” So happy for the both of you! We need to plan already the wedding date, reception, theme, who are the guests, your wedding dress—”
” Bibi, Kei just proposed. Let’s give her time to take it all in” Zeke approached Katie and stopped her from talking.
Katie pouted.
” Okay, bibi. But promise me, Nass, you’ll include me in your wedding planning” I widely smiled at Zeke, especially at Katie.
” Of course, it’s not like I have any other friends or relatives who can help me, just you, Clare, and Tiya” Katie clapped and hugged me again.
” That’s a promise! I’ll help you with everything I can do for you.”
” Thank you, Katie” she pecked my cheeks before breaking our hug and going to Keian, then hugged him.
Let me hug my best friend!” Smiling, I jumped to Zeke.
” Take care of Kei Nass!” He said to me while we are hugging each other.
” Of course. Thank you, Zeke” he separated from me and looked at me with wonder.
” For what?”
” For everything…” he was stunned at what I said.
I got confused at his reaction.
” N-Nass,” my smile disappeared when I saw a tear fell to his cheeks.
” Are you crying, bibi?” Katie faced us, together with Keian.
Keian approached me and wrapped his arm at my waist.
” No! Don’t look at me!” I saw Zeke still crying.
He hugged Katie to hide his face from others.
” Zeke. Come here…” Zeke glanced at me, sobbing.
” No, i-its embarrassing” I slightly laughed and felt a tear fall from my eyes again.
” I said, come here…” he pouted. He separated from Katie then hugged me.
Keian moved away from me to give Zeke space.
I patted his back even though I’m crying too.
” I’m so happy, Nass. You’ve come a long way, and I’m glad you’re getting married to Kei,” he whispered in my ear.
” Thank you so much, Zeke” his hug tightened, and after a while, he pulled away.
He faced Keian.
” I can’t believe you’re crying,” Keian said teasingly.
Zeke glared at him.
” Hey! I also saw you cry a while ago!” Keian’s grin disappeared at what Zeke said.
” Come on, you two, if you want to hug each other, just do it. Don’t just tease each other,” Katie said, and we both laughed.
The two shake their heads and approached each other.
” Congrats, bro” they hugged in a manly way.
” Thank you, Nicolas.”
” Nass” I turned to the one who called me. Tito Andre”
Laiza, Theo, Dale, Devon, Erick, Maxence, Clara, Diego, Kuya Kayden, and Kuya Khalil approached to congratulate and tease me.
They also approached Keian and did what they did to me.
” Tiya” I went to Tiya, who’s with Brylle and William.
Tiya held both my shoulder.
” I’m happy for you, Nass. I hope your relationship with Keian will be great.
” Thank you, Tiya,” I answered her.
From William’s arm, Brylle moved to me.
” Oh Brylee. Careful,” he fidgeted just to reach me.
I carried him properly.
” Congrats, Mama! I love you so much” I stroke his back.
” Thank you, baby. I love you too.”
” Nass” I looked at Keian, who neared us.
” Tito Kei!” Brylle raised his arms and looked like he wants Keian to carry him, so I gave Brylle to him.
” Hello, Brylle” I watched them talk.
My heart is beating fast because of what happened earlier.
My smile won’t even go away from my lips.
I’m so thankful for Keian.
And I’m looking forward to being his wife and a mother to our future children.
—
11 months later…
I sat at the bed, tired, and sighed.
I removed the tie of my hair then lay down.
” Finallyyyyy!” I said in a whisper. I stretched while lying down.
” Oh baby,” Keian also whispered, then moved away from our child’s crib.
I watch him near the bed.
He tiredly looked at me then laid on top of me.
” Ooofff!”
” Keian!” I whisperingly shouted.
I tried to push him away because he’s heavy, but he didn’t even flinch and seemed like he is already sleeping on top of me.
” Haayyyyy!”
I give up! He’s too strong compared to me!
I just hugged him and placed my face on his soft and fragrant hair.
” Hmmm” I caressed his hair, and he looked up because of it.
I studied his face.
His facial hair has grown. And I think he is more handsome like that.
” You’re so beautiful, baby,” I smiled at Keian and held both of his cheeks.
” You’re so handsome, my love” he kissed my lips, then we both laughed after.
” I feel like I haven’t taken a bath for two days!” Keian moved from the top of me and laid beside me.
” It’s okay baby, I still love you, and you’re still beautiful,” I pouted at Keian.
” That’s not my point” he turned to me with closed eyes and brought our faces close to each other.
” Let’s just have a shower then” I hit him lightly.
” Keian!”
” Tomorrow. I’m just so tired right now, alright?”
” Not my point again!” he chuckled, then he hugged me again.
I let him rest on my arms and looked at the crib.
It’s been 11 months since Keian proposed to me. We have a date planned for the wedding, but something happened.
We were supposed to marry each other last month…
Keian’s hug tightened, and then he squeezed his face to my neck.
” Let’s sleep already, Nass” I didn’t answer him, but I kissed his forehead and returned my eyes to the crib.
” Uwaaaahhhh!” I pouted when I heard a cry.
” H-Huh?” Keian rose from lying down and looked at the crib too.
He breathed deeply and was about to stand when I stopped him.
” I’ll do it” he reassuringly smiled at me.
” It’s okay, you go rest” before he even got to walk, I already caught his wrist and pulled him to lay in bed.
” You rest. You’ve been taking care of Kathriane for a while now” Keian caressed his hair.
” I’m alright, Nass. I should take care of my girls” I looked at him badly then quickly ran towards the crib.
Keian eyes widened, and he tried to chase me, but I’m the one who got to the crib first.
” Sleep already, Keian. I need some bonding time with my daughter. We’re going to have girls talk,” he winced at me, and we even had a staring competition before he gave up and closed his eyes.
” Fine! Goodnight baby! Love you both!” I raised my eyebrow at Keian, who hugged a pillow on the bed and fell asleep already? He’s already snoring!
I giggled then carried our daughter so she’ll stop crying.
” Why are you crying, my dear?” I talked to her.
I swayed and sang her a lullaby, and later on, she looked at me then stopped crying.
I wiped her wet cheeks and kissed her forehead. She giggled, and I lovingly looked at her.
She just wants to be with Mama…
Katherine Belle Marques is our baby’s name.
She’s a cute and beautiful baby…
I think she looks more like Keian than me.
But it’s fine, hihihi.
She raised her hands like she is trying to reach me, so I held her hand. I smiled widely.
She was born four months ago…
She still always cry, moreover at night, so Keian and I couldn’t get proper sleep.
Even though we are tired, we are trying to cope up. Well, we love our daughter.
Keian’s been taking care of Kathriane since this morning, so I volunteered to make her stop crying this time.
We weren’t able to be complacent this past few months. We need to watch her. Making sure she’s alive.
A lot had happened. Some are happy, some are sad.
I found out 2 months after Keian’s proposal that I’m pregnant.
Of course, we were delighted because God has given us a second blessing even after what happened at Palawan.
I was cautious since I don’t want to repeat what happened before.
I reached 7 months pregnant with Kathriane.
We even held a gender reveal, and Keian’s particularly happy that our child is a girl.
But something happened during my 7 month pregnancy period.
I bit my lip while remembering what happened.
—
My hands are just on the car’s shift stick, so Keian and my hand remain holding each other.
I stroked my stomach with my other hand then looked at Keian.
He also looked at me then smiled.
He had a bad day, but I can sense that now that he’s with me, his mood lifted.
” You’re not nervous, are you?” I asked him. He gulped then returned his eyes on the road.
” W-What? Of course not,” I chuckled.
It’s pretty obvious.
Hahahaha!
We are going to my parents/
Kuya found where they are buried. I’m even grateful that Lolo Maximo even let Mama and Papa be buried at a cemetery.
I’ve already visited them together with my brother, and now I’m returning together with Keian and Kathriane.
” It’s okay, Keian. I know they’re now in heaven” Keian squeezed my hand.
” Yes, I know that too and that they’re looking over us here. And they’ll be seeing me, and I can’t stop wondering if they know all the things I did to you in the past years…” my eyebrows furrowed because Keian said it in a whisper.
” Keiranz—”
” Yes, yes, I know. I’m sorry. I just can’t help it” he kissed my hand then glanced at the side mirror.
His expression turned cold, so I got confused.
I just ignored it then looked out the window.
My eyebrows furrowed even more, when I saw that we are on the wrong way.
“Keian—”
” We’re being followed.” I stopped at what he said and instinctively held my stomach.
I looked at the side view mirror on my side and saw a black car at our back.
Keian turned at a corner, and the car is still following us.
Keian made a lot of detours, but the car behind us is still following us.
” Sh8t,” my hold on Keian’s hand tightened.
He reassuringly looked at me.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
” Don’t worry…” I nodded at him and looked at the car behind us again.
He pressed things on the smartwatch he is wearing while still on alert at the car following us.
Keian put an earpiece on his ear and pressed it two times.
” Alpha to rider”
I’m still looking at the side view mirror and watching the car.
” Get our location immediately…” Keian’s jaw clenched, and he looked at the back.
” Damn it, Nicolas! I’m serious! Get up and go to your f—ing car!” I squeezed Keian’s hand to calm him.
” Look, sorry. Just get here fast…” Keian looked at me, then turned the car again.
After maybe five minutes, we noticed that the car behind us is nowhere to be found.
I wonder where it went?
I didn’t realize that I was holding my breath, so I sighed.
Our car is running pretty fast, and I can’t clearly see where we are going.
There’s an intersection coming up, and it’s good that no one’s following us anymore.
But everything seemed to slow down when I looked at the window beside me and saw that there’s a car approaching us at a fast rate and it seemed that it wants to hit us.
” Keian!” I shouted at his name.
Keian looked at the window beside me, and his eyes widened.
I’m just staring at the car approaching us.
” F—! Nass!”
