Chapter 53: What I'm Scared Of
Jasmine's POV
We went back to the hotel after we were done eating because David wanted to sleep. Actually, he's already in our room sleeping. I think he's tired. "How is he?" Diego asked me while he was watching. I sat on the other side.
"He's sleeping now. I think he's tired of playing," I chuckled. I grabbed a piece of pizza and juice and started eating while watching a movie also.
"He's been asking about this trip while you are not around. He kept on repeating about it. That's why I have no other choice but to talk to you." He started. I nodded.
If it is not because of David, I have no plan to come back here. Diego's assistant can also manage that project.
If he hadn't seen that picture of me, maybe he wouldn't have any idea about this place. I also know that when he's with Diego, they always go somewhere else. Actually, that's really what he wants.
He kept insisting that he wanted to be with me at work, but I couldn't let him. Travis might see him, and I don't know what to do if that happens.
I never thought that scene would happen.
"I'm sorry when he always does that. David just became interested in this place, and he wants to explore it. "I said. I heard him let out a heavy sigh.
"No, it's okay. You know how important David and Jasmine are to me." He said that it touched my heart.
"I'm sorry that you still have to carry us all the way here. I'm sorry for being a burden." I tried to smile, but when I remembered those struggles that I faced in the past years, I couldn't help but be sad.
I don't know why I have to experience those things. I can't forget the pain, and it still remains in me. I tried to forget about it, but I can't.
I just felt him standing up and sitting beside me. And hugged me.
"I never considered both of you like that. Even in the first place, I never saw you as a burden. And I will never think of you that way, Jaz. God knows how important you and David are to me. He knows how much I love both of you." He said and caressed my back. His words melted my heart. I can't say a word. I don't know how to answer him.
I just felt my tears keep on falling in my chicks. I went on a challenging path in my life, and I know that he faces more than what I experienced. But here he is, showing me how strong he is and that I should also do it.
I know, and I can see how tired he is. Those were the years when we went abroad. I tried to work even though I was four months pregnant because I wanted to help him.
I know he's wealthy, but I couldn't let him pay for everything. Yes, His sister told him to help me, but it doesn't mean that I will reply to him.
But when I was seven months pregnant, he never let me work. Actually, I had difficulties giving birth that day since that was my first time.
There are days that I always vomit, and sometimes I can see blood on my pans. Even if Diego had a meeting that day he would cancel it and rush to help me because no one can but only him..
I even experienced staying in the hospital for two days because of what happened, and he left all his work in the company just to stay with me.
Then, when I'm nine months pregnant, I always get dizzy, and I'm not comfortable giving birth. That whole month, he didn't attend the company, and he let Via handle everything in the meantime.
He gave me his full attention because I was too scared, and I always had a fever at night.
It never left me, even when I was in a labour room. Especially when David Born.
I couldn't do housework, that's why he was the one washing our clothes, and he even brought clothes for my baby and all the stuff for a newborn baby. He even hired a maid to help me and who could teach me how to take good care of myself in that situation. He did everything, when I'm not feeling well, he will take good care of my baby and he even always experiences not getting enough sleep at night.
He will cook for me and even do household Chores. When David was six months old, he would help me rush him to the hospital when he got a fever. He's always on guard and didn't let something bad happen to both of us.
When I couldn't let David stop crying, he would try to Carry him, and he would sing a song to him. Even when nights come, he's always there for us.
Even if he's so busy with work, he never forgets to bring food for me. When David slowly grew up, Diego never failed to accompany him and gave him everything.
Money couldn't repay his kindness-not even a billion thank yous. I don't know how I would be able to repay everything he did to us.
"Common, stop crying now. I promise to myself that I won't let anything bad happen to you and David, even if it costs my life," he said and fixed my hair. I looked into his eyes, and I could see how serious he was.
It's just that I can't explain my feelings. I still can't tell what's really in my heart. I know he's been waiting, and I'm dying thinking that I might hurt him. I don't want that day to happen.
I'm scared. I'm scared about what is going to happen in the future. I'm scared that one day, everything will be ruined.
I'm scared that one day, those happy memories will end.
