Chapter 27: Taking Her Out

Walter's POV

After we ate I told Angelica to get ready since I want to take her out pambawi na din sa mga araw na hindi kami lumalabas at hindi ko sya nasasamahan sa mga lugar kung saan nya gustong pumunta. We just had to pass by my office kasi tumawag ang secretary ko na si Ate Jen na may kailangan daw akong pirmahan. Inis na inis na talaga ako kay Felix imagine after what he did to Angelica babalik sya na parang walang nangyari. Ibinilin ko muna sa mama at papa ni Angelica si Marcus so that Angelica and I could go out alone. Felix was sitting on the other couch he was on his phone he saw me look at him and glared at me so I glared at him as well.

I saw Angelica coming down the stairs she looked so simple pero ang ganda nya. I looked at Felix and saw him looking at Angelica too so I went near Angelica hinapit ko ang bewang nya nagulat naman sya sa ginawa ko I pulled her near the mirror

"Babe let's take a picture you look really good...we look fantastic together" nakita ko namang namula si Angelica nang dahil sa sinabi ko she got her phone and we took a couple of shots before bidding tito and tita goodbye

"Tita, Tito thank you for allowing Markus to stay here while I take your daughter out"

ngumiti sina tito at tita "No problem iho hala sige alis na kayo para maaga kayo makauwi be home by 10 kids wag nang lalampas sa 10 okay kapag traffic just inform us okay"

"Yes po tita" sabay na kaming lumabas ni Angelica sa bahay nila I opened the passenger's seat door for her before going to the driver's seat I made sure we were both wearing our seatbelts before starting my car.

We were in the middle of traffic when Angelica spoke "Love...I'm really sorry about earlier I didn't know na pupunta pala si Felix sa bahay kaninang umaga...and kahapon I didn't wanna fight with you since we just made up last night"

I looked at her and caressed the back of her head "It's okay as long as he didn't do anything bad to you" she shook her head. I smiled and continued driving.

The first place I took her is the mall since medyo matagal na din nung una ko syang nilabas.

We walked around the mall, I also shopped some things for her. It's almost time for lunch that's why we decided to eat already at kung mamalasin nga naman we saw Mr. Lactatao and his family syempre nandoon din ang babae nyang anak still wearing revealing clothes. I looked at Angelica and saw one of her brows raising. Nakita kami ni Mr. Lactatao the moment we decided to take a seat he went near us with his daughter with a big smile.

"Mr. Arkinson it's nice to see you here! Are you with your friend?"

I saw Angelica's expression changed she was smiling kanina but now I have a feeling she's really angry.

"It's nice to see you here Mr. Lactatao. This is Angelica, my girlfriend"

Nagiba ang timpla nang mukha ni Mr. Lactatao at nang anak nya when they heard me

"Hi I'm Regina Lactatao nice meeting you"

"Angelica Gonzales"

"So you're Walter's girlfriend pala well you're just the girlfriend pwedeng pwede ka pang palitan"

Angelica laughed "Ah okay kung kaya mo with that kind of outfit and attitude, I'm not sure with that Ms. Lactatao and ikaw na tatay nang anak mo you're selling your daughter for the sake of your company tapos sa jowa ko pa? How pathetic! Look at your daughter aren't you disgusted of the way she trying to ruin a relationship well an I think she got it from her mom right?"

Angelica did her homework knowing my girlfriend she knows everything, no pun intended. Halatang nainsulto naman ang mag-amang Lactatao sa sinabi ni Angelica.

"I will not sign the contract Mr. Arkinson! TRAIN THIS BTCH GIRLFRIEND OF YOURS!"

Sinampal ni Angelica sa Mr. Lactatao at binuhusan nang malamig na tubig ang anak nito, pinagtitinginan na kami nang mga tao but I didn't bother to stop my lovely dragon baby, baka mapag buhatan pa ako nang kamay, I wouldn't want that. Angelica's hands are dangerous sobrang lakas nang hampas nyan, she could be a great volleyball player!

"Call me a btch again Mr.Lactatao! I'll make sure your company goes down"

Mr. Lactatao and his whole family walked out. Angelica sat again and we started eating, I held her hand and caressed it.

"You okay now love?" she nodded but I'm sure galit pa din sya.

I didn't ask any questions anymore instead I ate my food in silence.

We strolled around the mall the whole day when dinner came since I promised my grandparents na ipapakilala ko sa kanila si Angelica I decided to drive papunta sa bahay nang grandparents ko. They were staying in America for 2 years kaya ngayon ko palang maipapakilala si Angelica sa kanila.

Our whole ride papunta sa bahay nang grandparents ko ay sobrang tahimik. I know Angelica's really tired since we spent our whole day mall hopping.

When we arrived pinagbuksan ko nang pinto si Angelica she looks really nervous. I squeezed her hand and looked at her "Love they won't bite just stay calm okay" I chuckled hinampas nya ang braso ko "You're really close to your grandparents and I wanna make a good impression"

"don't worry love they'll surely love you"

"Tss bolero ka talaga Arkinson" but she slowly smiled

"Shall we?" I asked. She nodded. So together we went inside my grandparent's house, the maids told us that they were waiting for us in the dining area. Nagulat ako nang makita ko ang papa ko and his mistress.

Angelica looked at me and gave me a smile. I held her hand tightly for support.

"Grandma, Grandpa this is Angelica. My girlfriend" tumayo naman si grandma with a huge smile plastered on her face

"Iha welcome to the family. I've heard a lot about you whenever Walter calls. Come sit and let's start eating"

"Thank you po ma'am"

"Oh iha don't call me ma'am! Call me Grandma Corazon and this is my husband Gerardo. Just call us Grandma and Grandpa"

Angelica smiled widely. My Grandpa also greeted her. We sat down and prayed.

"See. I told you they love you"

"Your grandma is so kind love"

"So Angelica I heard na same course kayo nitong apo namin, does he give you headaches?" tanong ni Grandma kay Angelica. She chuckled "minsan po grandma, I'm having a hard time making him take his meds nga most of the time since it tastes bad daw but so far naman po he listens kapag galit ako haha"

Natawa si grandma at grandpa sa sinabi ni Angelica.

"ganyan talaga yang apo namin, kaya pagpasensyahan mo nalang he's very hard-headed kaya kapag ayaw nyang makinig kurotin o paluin mo nalang iha nagmana yan sa grandpa nya"

Grandpa kissed Grandma's hands "Ang dami mo talagang sinasabi Corazon"

"heh! nagmana naman talaga yang apo mong yan sa'yo"

Walter's grandpa cleared his throat kaya tumahimik na muna sina Angelica at Grandma.

"Thaddeus anong plano mo sa pamilya mo? you're aware that you're a married man right better act like one, are you even sure that you're the father of this woman's kids? O baka naman ginagamit ka lang nyan?"

"Papa! Please don't disrespect the woman I love!"

"Thaddeus wag mong tataasan nang boses ang papa mo! Hindi ka man lang nahiya sa anak mo? You're aware that you have 2 sons and you're already married. I've always made you decide on your own but not this Thaddeus! You want us to respect that woman? That woman is the reason why your family is broken! She's the reason why my grandsons lost their father at a young age! Anak nang bestfriend ko na ninang mo ang nagdudusa nang dahil sa babae na yan! Enough is enough Thaddeus ang tanda mo na!" grandma spoke

"Mawalang galang po. Your son loves me and I'm carrying his 3rd child with me sana respetuhin nyo nalang po ang decision namin, Walter's mom just needs to sign the divorce papers so Thaddeus and I could get married we'll leave po as soon as she signs the papers"

"No one's getting divorced Thaddeus! You're going back to your family and act like a dad towards your two sons! Ilang taon na Thaddeus! Walter's now 20 and your son Marcus is 11 kahit kay Markus ka nalang magpakatatay di ka man lang naawa kay Walter na syang tumayo bilang tatay nang kapatid nya!"

Grandma's breathing was now uneven.

"Grandma's having an asthma attack so please let's stop this argument for the meantime, Angelica take grandma to her room, please call her nurse din Love"

Angelica held my hands and kissed my forehead bago nya inalalayan si grandma.

This is too much. This dinner could've been perfect if wala lang si papa at ang kabit nya.
