Chapter 21 (Part 2)

Karina’s POV

“I’m sorry for what I said earlier,” I said to her.

“No, I understand that you don’t want me beside your son’s side. That you are not comfortable seeing me with him but still, napalapit na sa akin si Eli…” aniya. Napaawang ang labi ko roon. I didn’t said that. Kita ko ang pagtingin sa akin ni Eli at ng Mommy ni Adi. Agad ko ring nakitang papalapit sa aming gawi si Adi.

“You don’t want her to be at Eli’s side, Karina? Eli likes his Auntie. I know that you don’t like our family but why would you say that?” tanong naman ng Mommy ni Adi habang nakatingin sa akin ngayon.

“That’s not it po… I didn’t said something like that.” Kumunot pa ang noo ko dahil para bang bigla akong na-corner dito.

“It’s okay. I understand your point but I can’t just do what you want. I like hanging out with Eli,” she said again. I know she’s offended and maybe she’s taking it that way kaya napabuntonghininga na lang ako. Ako naman talaga ang mali kaya ako na rin ang humingi ng tawad patungkol doon
