Chapter 70

"Who are yo—" Freya's eyes widened when Ramon hugged her. She tried to remove his embrace but she couldn't let go.
 "Thank God, you're safe!" Ramon closed his eyes while hugging Freya.
 Freya glared at Jacob who now wasn't even complaining that there was another man, worse, an older man who was after her. "Excuse me. Who are you?" she asked after she got out of Ramon's embrace.
 "I'm sorry, Freya. I was just too happy. Do you really not remember me?" asked Ramon.
 Freya frowned. "I don't think so," she said.
 Ramon smiled.
 "Wait! You look familiar!" Freya thought.
 "I'm your Tito Ramon! I'm the brother of your Father Ramil," Ramon said directly.
 Freya's eyes widened. She brought her eyes closer to Ramon's face. Later, she was jumping when she confirmed that he was indeed his Tito. "My God! Tito Ramon! I didn't recognize you right away! I mean, look at you now! You're a well-established man! How are you? You've been gone for a long time! I've been looking for you for a long time since our house burned down in Monte Carlos. You were the only one I knew to run to at that time, but suddenly you disappeared."
 Ramon only responded with a smile. "Now, I can say that I'm really happy. Your family is whole again, Freya. After all the chaos and problems, finally!"
 "And for that, I am beyond grateful for all of you." Freya looked at Jacob, Ramon, Set, Hulyo, Uno, Dos and Jett one by one. She frowned when she saw Tamahome waving at her.
 "Who is that another man again?" Jacob whispered to Set.
 "Just relax, Sir Jacob. He won't take Freya away from you. He's Sir Oligario's staff," Set replied with a laugh.
 "That's Tamahome, my loyal friend and...family," Ramon said.
 Tamahome was surprised by what he heard. Later, he smiled. "Your majesty, say what you want to say. We need to go home to your mansion. You still have a flight tomorrow," he reminded.
 "Yes, by the way," said Ramon.
 "Tito, you're leaving? Already? Where are you going? Can't you have fun with mom and dad? Have you ever seen my son, Yael? For sure, you two will get along!" Freya's tone was mixed with sadness. After many years, she just now saw her Tito again and it turns out that he will leave so soon.
 Ramon looked at Jacob. "Take care of my niece. If you happen to make her cry, I'll sentence you to death."
 Jacob smiled and shook his head. "That's not gonna happen, T-Tito Ramon," he assured.
 "I just want to remind you. Don't play with my niece again." Ramon looked at Freya. He approached her and then whispered something.
 Freya was shocked by what she heard.
 "I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive your tito. I'm leaving to punish myself for doing such a thing. I'm also sorry if I doubted you…if I thought something terrible about you and your mother. Please don't go to new places just to find me. Even though I'm far from you, I can only guarantee one thing, I'll be watching and protecting you from afar. I'll still love you from afar." Ramon's tears fell down to his cheeks. He turned his back on Freya and slowly walked towards where Tamahome was.
 Jacob grabbed Freya by the shoulder. He took her hand and kissed it. "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Just now, you were so happy because you saw Tito Ramon. Why did the wind suddenly change? What did he say?" he asked one after the other.
 At the same time, as the rain fell, Freya's tears fell one after another. She bit her lips before she hugged her husband. She was like a child crying because her favorite toys and food were taken away from her.
 Jacob stroked Freya's hair and patted her back. "Alright, just cry about it. I will comfort you. I'll stop asking about it. Then I'll just ask once you feel better. No scratch that. Then I'll listen when you're ready to tell me the reason why you're crying now ." He kissed her on the forehead.
 "Freya, has Tita Rhea texted you yet? Where did she bring Kuya Jackson? What’s the name of the hospital?" It was too late when Jett realized that he had called Jackson his brother again.
 Jacob's mouth fell open. "Did I hear it correctly? You called Kuya Jackson as your kuya too?" He glared at Jett.
 Freya immediately thought of a way to reduce the tension around her. She called her mother. "Mom, where are you now? How is Jackson?" she asked.
 Jacob's sharp gaze shifted from Jett to Freya.
 "I mean, Kuya Jackson?" Freya plastered a fake smile. "What? I can't understand you. It's too noisy. Just text me the name of the hospital and which room you are in. Go ahead, mom. Thank you very much."
 Jacob crossed his arms. "Did you do that to divert my attention?" He raised his eyebrows.
 "Hehe. Let's go!" Freya took one of Jacob's hands. She forced him to follow her.
 Jacob did nothing but follow Freya. Before they even came down from the rooftop, he gave his wife a quick kiss on the lips. "Thank you, I love you. You still owe me an explanation. After we visit Kuya Jackson, then I'll tease you about that Jett." He glared at Jett. He precedes walking.
 Set, Hulyo, Uno and Dos laugh while tailing the couple. They didn't think that only one woman could tame the wild and unruly Jacob.
 Ramon watched the group of Freya and Jacob as they walked to their respective cars. He secretly wiped his tears but it did not escape Tamahome's eyes.
 "Your majesty, may I know what you whispered to Freya?" Tamahome patiently waited for Ramon's response.
 "It's about her son, Yael. I admitted that I saved Yael," Ramon replied.
 Tamahome was confused. Ramon said that positively but why does he feel Freya's displeasure at this.
 "I saved Yael from Jackson's people to use him against her and her mother," Ramon continued.
 "Your Majesty," said Tamahome.
 "Let's go. I need to take a rest. I'm leaving early tomorrow. Thank you for being loyal to me, Tamahome. Starting tomorrow, you're free to do whatever you want. I'm firing you," Ramon said as he closed his eyes.
 Tamahome looked at his boss in the passenger's seat. "I'm not going to leave you. I'm not resi—"
 "That's final. Let's part ways. Now, drive me to my house. It's my final order as your boss." Ramon closed his eyes completely but his tears continued to fall.
