"What is this, Michael?" I asked him when he gave me an invitation card. Of course I know what it is but I want to ask him if what it is really for. "Invitation card, obviously. There's a big party and you have to go." He is stuck. He just rolled his eyeballs at me. I thought at that time that he had a surprise for me and that our relationship would be fixed just for our son Lenoah, but no. I attended a party just to get hurt too much. Because it was their engagement party. At first I thought Kalezy was just joking. I also know that Michael is her boyfriend but seeing me hurt face to face is what I couldn't handle. I had a quick breakdown. "W-We still haven't fixed our past problem, Michael. I kept your son from you for two years and even though I was hurt then that you let me go, I chose to introduce you to Lenoah as his father. I'm the first one who tried to fix our relationship but... I also suffered because you don't want me anymore. I know how much I wronged you before, Michael. I'm sorry but you gonna hurt me like this face to face? Michael, w-is it really gone? Don't you really love me anymore? Are you really giving up?" "A person's feelings change, Novy, and besides, it's been a long time," he said without emotion. I smiled bitterly. He's right. A person's feelings do change. "I understand. Sorry, if I'm too naughty. I'm sorry if I'm still trying to fix our relationship because I'm just thinking about our son," I said softly. "You planned to frame me up so I can get back to you, Novy. That's what I hate the most about what you did," he said coldly. "I'm sorry... I-I made a mistake..." I once let Michael go and it still hurt me too much. But I can handle it if I let him go a second time, right? I love Michael very much. But I know a different Michael now. The Michael I loved before and I was the only one he valued but now is gone. Another woman owns his heart and it's not me anymore. "S-Sorry... I promise you... I won't... I won't tease you anymore. B-I'll just visit Lenoah at your condo---" "We will also move to our subdivision." I quickly wiped my tears. It dripped one after another and my chest was tight. "In that case. S-We'll just meet outside," I said and sniffed even more. It's not just my tears, but also my cold. "I'll just give you a schedule." I nodded. "S-Alright, ah. I-I'll go first," I said goodbye and because my knee was getting soft I almost lost my balance. He quickly grabbed my elbow to support me but I immediately pulled my hand back. "I'm fine..." I said and raised my hand and started walking. "New..." When I got out of the hotel, I just laughed so hard. Even the weather seems to be keeping up with my disappointment and sadness. It is raining heavily and the wind is also very cold. My tears are also pouring and it really doesn't stop. "New! Are you insane?!" my cousin Devillaine yelled at me. When he saw me walking and making it rain. "New!" "H-Leave me alone, Devi. I-I just want to... get wet in the rain." "You are really crazy! You know you get a fever easily when you get wet in the rain!" He shouted at me while pulling my arm but I struggled. "I told you to let me go!" "New..." "N-I'm in pain, Devi... I-I just want... to forget even for a moment." "Then I will take you to the bar. I'll go get drunk with you if you want. Don't do this, Novy..." he said and just hugged me. I just cried on his shoulder. *** The news about their engagement party was hot and even though Michael and Kalezy were not engaged then he always went to the gym where the tennis players practiced. He does the same to me. He will watch our practice, even if it takes him an hour, he doesn't get bored waiting for me, but now... He's watching a different girl. Because I got wet from the rain last night, I did have a fever, but I also went in because we had practice. Our competition was coming up again but when our coach noticed that I was not myself, he gave me a break. I'm still wrapped in my varsity jacket and I'm really cold. "New! Your pogi boyfriend is looking for you. Cry without seeing you!" my tennis player friend also told me. Even though I was sick, I still smiled. Because I know who he is referring to as my boyfriend. It's my son. The net was blocking between us but that was often the scene between the two of us. He was holding it so I knelt down so that I could face his face. His eyes and nose were red. "Hi. Are you looking for me, babe?" I asked him and he snorted. "M-Mommy..." "Why is my boyfriend crying?" I asked him softly and he was about to touch both of my cheeks when I avoided it. "Your girlfriend is sick, babe. Kisses, hugs and touches are not allowed because Mommy's trying baby might get infected." "I just miss my girlfriend," he said and chuckled softly. "I miss you too, my baby." "You're close, Mommy. You will transfer your fever to me and then I will transfer it to Daddy." "Oh. You're with your girlfriend's rival again, hmm?" "Mommy..." "I love you,
Chapter 1
NOVY MARIE V. BONGON'S POV
I'm busy watching other players who are just new, they just joined Coach Avemn's team last week, which is also our team. They are newbies but I can already see their potential so I like to watch them even if it's still all day and I won't get bored.
I can also see the happy reaction of Coach Avemn because he nods one after the other and he focuses on his new pets. But he's not clapping. Only when you see him nodding and hardly sitting down will you know that he is pleased and happy with the improvements he sees in practicing.
My shoulder jumped in shock when someone tapped it, who's disturbing me all of a sudden. I looked back at this just to frown because it was only my beautiful aunt.
"Aunt Mommy, eh. You are surprising me," I complained to her. Why is he here?
We are in the gymnasium and it is open field. I'm just sitting in the bleachers and my favorite aunt suddenly appeared. She sat next to me and she walked but her chin rests on my right shoulder, that made me smile.
"I remember your first day in your competition, son."
Aunt Mommy, Novyann V. Bongon, she's 45 years old and a single mother. Well, Tita's husband died when Devillaine was only two years old. But what I know is that that is not really Devillaine's biological father.
My aunt doesn't really talk much about her love life, but when I asked her about her first love which is my cousin's father, she just said that she has a family and she doesn't know where his whereabouts are. , and besides, he said he doesn't care anymore. Eh, I often see her mesmerized by a man's picture. I'm not that sure if that's my cousin's Daddy.
She said, first love is really scary because there is a saying that first love never dies. That's why I didn't have a boyfriend and I kept being a cold-hearted person because I didn't want to be like Tita Mommy.
A lot of men are blowing the air at me and as if I'm going to ignore them?
Aunt always says that it's good to love when you first feel it with someone, but nah. No thanks because I would rather be single forever than be hurt more than you can physically feel. I can endure the pain physically, not mentally and emotionally. That's what I can't do, but because I'm also cold, somehow I don't feel anything even for those two.
And also, my Mom and Dad. They also had each other's first love but where are they now? They weren't the ones who stayed because they still had their own families and I? Is it the result of their love or just a mistake?
Well, my parents just left me in the air. Aunt Mommy took care of me when I was only three years old. He is Daddy Nevo's younger brother. Therefore I don't believe in destiny either. All I believe is that you will grow old alone. Thank you
Yes, I came from a broken family. My parents only lived together for three years, then they immediately separated and Mommy left me with Tita because Dad married another woman earlier. In return, he will give me.
As if Dad will be angry with him, I don't care about that. That's why they didn't stay together forever.
However, I didn't feel alone in this world either. Because my aunt was there who stood as my mother and father. It's good for him that I also feel that I'm important and that he loves me very much. Considered a true child, and Devillaine is also there. My cousin who is super close to me.
"Are you my first supporter, Tita Mommy?" I asked because I remembered that. Who can forget right away, that was my first competition as a single tennis player who immediately became a champion.
"Yes, Novy," she replied and nodded.
I smiled back at that incident 7 years ago. I was only 19 years old at that time and fourth year college. So it was an honor awarded to me by the university I used to attend. Yes, K2-12 did not reach me.
"Are you nervous, kid?" Aunt Mommy asked me and I nodded but later I also shook my head and she laughed.
"Auntie, I've been doing this for several years, eh. I'm used to competition especially at our university. It just looks like chicken to me, eh," I said and he frowned. He grabbed my shaking hand and laughed loudly. "Mommy, eh!" I complain. Because he was laughing at me.
"Chicken? Your hands are shaking, Novy. Is this just a chicken? Hey, my son..."
"Aunt Mommy... This is normal for me, but I admit it. I'm a little bit nervous," I uttered the fact.
She caressed my face and pulled my arms to give me a tight hug. I winced because I could barely breathe but he just gently patted my back.
"You're right, Novy. It's normal to feel nervous but you can do this, son. I know you and you always win your competition. Are you still saying it's just a chicken?" he said making me smile and hug him back.
"Thank you, Tita Mommy..." She also relaxed when she saw Coach Avemn walking around.
"Are you ready, Novy?" coach asked me to which I nodded. "Now, come on."
Coach Avemn and Auntie Novyann, they have been best friends since they were in grade school. So my coach takes care of me and besides she is also my Godmother.
"Cheer up, Novy Marie!" I smiled when she exclaimed.
"Thank you, Mommy! Let's win it!" I happily exclaimed and I wasn't disappointed so when it was over when my win was announced, Tita was still teary-eyed.
"But, what are you doing here, Aunt?" I asked her when my mind returned to reality. When Tita comes here there is a reason.
"It's your Daddy's birthday next week, son. We're going," he said and stared at me intently. "Novy..." See? I didn't even remember that old man's birthday.
"Why did your brother have a birthday again, Aunt? I'm also getting tired of his birthday. There is no fun there," I said seriously. He knows that I really don't want to go to my parents' birthday because I'll just be bored.
Because they don't even remember my birthday. They will only be congratulated when Aunt Novyann tells them and then the next day they will send their birthday gift.
Mommy only gives signature bags. Whereas Dad is money and I treat my friends and bond with them.
I'm not rejecting them but I'm selling my Mommy's gift. As for Daddy, the orphanage benefits from his money. I really don't want to receive anything from them anymore. They also have no value to me, so why should I accept what they give?
I'm not extravagant, ah. Psh. They should just give that to their children who only have pride in their bodies. I'm not jealous or envious. I get hotheaded and stressed that's what happens to me when I see them.
"New..."
"Just tell me I'm busy. We have practice in one week!" I shouted and stood up.
"Son..."
"Mommy... I really don't want to see Daddy's face anymore!" I still shouted. He caressed my arm and I sniffed but he just gently pecked my lips.
"I can't, son. Devi and I will come with you. He is looking forward to your arrival," he said.
"Auntie... You really can't do this somehow?" I pleaded and she shook her head.
I took a deep breath and finally screamed out of frustration.
Coach Avemn laughed when he saw me and immediately gave his tennis players a break. She walked towards us "What is that again, Novy?" she asked and he still agreed.
"Am I now my godmother or just my coach?" I asked her.
"Okay, godmother," he answered. I smiled and approached him.
"Mom, maybe you can tell Dad that I can't come next week. Because we have overtime practice? You are strong for my daddy because you almost became his wife! Good thing it wasn't!"
"Nope. Even I was invited. Novy, no matter what your daddy did to you or even your mom. Always remember that they are still like you," he reminded and then Auntie nodded.
"I wish I was just a cat, Aunt, Godmother. "Isn't it?" They both just laughed.
I really have no choice! But to go to Dad's birthday party and wish him a happy birthday.
The hell, why can't he just celebrate his birthday in heaven, right? I will be really happy.
Novy Marie V. Bongon is the name, 27 years old, born on April 30, international athlete and a famous tennis player, I won several times in the Olympics games. They say you are a woman with a cold heart. My both parents are from rich families but what do I care about their money?
I don't have any choice but to agree to go with them. Daddy has two sons with his second wife and they never had a daughter. I don't know about them, maybe they don't know how to make a baby girl. My stepmother didn't like them. I hope my mommy taught him.
They are five and seven years apart from me but they are not bad like their Mommy. Feeling pretty, my aunt is even prettier even though she used to be an actress. I don't even pay attention to my brothers because I remember Dad from their faces. Because they have a lot of similarity, eh. But they do their best to talk to me.
As for Mommy, she had a son with her second husband. He also doesn't have a daughter because he and Daddy are the only ones who know how to do this and that is no longer possible. Psh. Maybe someone will cry when they look back at each other.
I was just lying on my bed and honestly speaking, I was too lazy to get up and get ready for our flight tonight. Daddy is already in Canada because he stayed for good with his second family. Good for him because they will distract me from what I'm doing now.
While Mommy is in London. I am really their only child who chose to stay in the Philippines because Tita Mommy is also here. But I'm often in other countries too, especially when we have the olympic games.
Tita is a hoteliers and she will be gone even for a year, which will not make her staff feel that the person she trusts can handle it alone without her. Duh, I'm referring to my cousin. She's good at business too, eh.
"Coz, Mommy said to get up!" Speaking of the devil, psh.
"I don't want to! Why do I have to be there?! Daddy has so many children!" I complained and buried my face in my pillow. Then I closed my eyes tightly.
"Let's go, coz... I want to go to Canada because it's my vacation," said Mommy. You know I'm super busy. Why haven't you helped me run a hotel yet? You graduated from HRM, right? " he scolded me.
I am an HRM graduate from Harvard. Aunt Mommy sent me to school even though Daddy said that he will take care of my tuition but I just told him that I will not go to school if he pays my tuition.
Mommy also offered but I also refused. Did I not accept it from Daddy yet? But I also receive an allowance from them. I had no choice to accept that because my aunt threatened me that she would not give me any allowance if I ignored my parents' help. That's all I received so it's okay
