Bringing Daddy Home | Orig Ver.

Chapter 18

"Welcome to my humble home" sabi ni Lisa pagkapasok palang nila sa loob ng mansyon.

Namangha naman si Jennie sa laki ng bahay at napakaelegante pa. Siguro ay five to eight times na mas malaki ito kaysa sa bahay nila sa Korea. Well, hindi nga pala nakakapagtaka para sa isang napakayamang babae.

"You sure you live alone here?" sabi ni Jennie mukhang sobrang laki naman kasi ng bahay para sa iisang tao lang.

"Aside from my maids, security and other workers, yeah it's just me" Lisa shrugged her shoulders.

"This house is too big for you daddy. Mommy, why don't we just live here from now on so that daddy won't be sad living here alone" biglang sabi ni Liam.

"No baby, we're just staying here for the meantime. We already have a house in Korea right?"

"Yeah but mommy, it's only the two of us. It would be sad without daddy" the boy pouted.

"Baby you will understand when you grow up"

Jennie patted Liam's head and hugged him. Siguro nga ay matalino si Liam pero may mga bagay pa itong hindi gaanong naiintindihan gaya nalang ng sitwasyon nila ngayon.

"I'll take you to your room. Follow me" sabi ni Lisa saka dinala ang mag-ina sa kwarto sa taas.

"I'll be there, just call me when you need something." sabi ni Lisa saka umalis na sa kwarto.

"Wait daddy, I'll come with you," sabi ni Liam saka sinundan si Lisa pababa.

Naiwan naman si Jennie sa kwarto na mag-isa. Siguro hayaan niya nalang muna ang anak niya na sulitin ang panahon na nakakasama ang ama nito ngayon dahil sa oras na bumalik sila sa Korea baka hindi na muli pang magkita ang dalawa.

Napahiga siya sa kama and there she let out all her exhaustion. Medyo masakit ang ulo niya dahil sa kakabiyahe ngayong araw samahan pa ng stress sa sobrang pag-aalala sa anak niya. Grabe talaga ang pangyayari ngayong araw, it's too hard to handle. Sunod baka lagyan na niya ng gps or kahit anong tracker ang cellphone ng anak niya para malaman niya kung san ba ito pumupunta.

Bigla niyang naalala si Jisoo. Kailangan niyang ilabas ang saloobin niya kundi baka sumabog siya tsaka kailangan niya ding sabihin na hindi siya makakapasok kinabukasan kasi hindi pa sila makakauwi ngayon.

So ayun dinial niya ang number ni Jisoo at pagkaraan ng ilang ring ay sinagot din nito.

"Hello Jen? How did it go?" tanong agad ni Jisoo na may bahid din ng pag-aalala.

"Aigoo unnie, I'm so so exhausted. Liam is such a clever boy. He was literally able to track Lisa," she sigh.

"Really? So you mean they already met each other?"

"Yeah and actually we're at Lisa's house at the moment" pag-amin ni Jennie.

"What? Why? Lisa want to take responsibility now? But she has a fiancé right?" naguguluhang tanong ni Jisoo sa kabilang linya.

"Unnie it's not like that, it's just that there is no single plane going to Korea that is available right now. We ended up here because that woman said it would be waste of money if we stayed in a hotel plus Liam wanted it too"

Hindi na mabilang ni Jennie kung ilang beses na ba siyang napabuntong hininga. None of this is going on to what she has in mind.

"That's fine with me though, just let the boy enjoy the moments with his dad for now"

"That's what I thought too"

"By the way, how did Lisa reacted to when she found out about the truth?"

"Of course at first she seem to not believe it but I understand her tho. But whether she believe that Liam is her son or not. I don't care, I only want to get my son. Unnie what bothers me really is that she said we should've came to see her earlier so it wouldn't be hard for her. I don't understand"

"I think so too, if you just tried to find Lisa earlier then you're probably a perfect family by now"

"Unnie, if she was on her right mind she wouldn't leave me all alone on that hotel when she knew she was my first and knowing that there was a possibility she could get me pregnant" she sighs.

"You're right tho, she's the one who should've tried to find you"

"It doesn't matter really, I don't want her in my life anyway. It's just Liam that I'm thinking about"

"Calm down now Jennie, you have to relax okay? And rest, I feel like you're so exhausted."

"Who wouldn't be?"

"Okay, I'll hang up now. Chae is calling me. Bye" paalam ni Jisoo.

"Bye unnie"

And with that binaba niya na ang tawag. Napagdesisyunan niyang magpahinga na muna dahil pagod na pagod talaga siya at dumagdag pa ang sakit ng ulo niya, probably jet lag?

Pagkaraan ng isang oras ay nagising naman si Jennie. Siya parin mag-isa ang nasa kwarto, siguro ay nakikipag-bonding pa si Liam sa daddy nito.

Suddenly she felt like she have to take a bath. Parang ang lagkit nadin kasi ng katawan niya. She wouldn't feel comfortable unless she clean herself. So ayun pumasok agad siya sa bathroom to take a bath.

Habang naliligo siya ay maraming mga bagay ang pumapasok sa isipin niya. Iniisip niya kung anong mangyayari sa kanila ni Liam pagkabalik nila sa Korea. It would surely be so hard for the boy kasi iba na ngayon. Nakasama na nito si Lisa, mas lalong mamimiss ng bata ang ama nito habang magkalayo sila.

Bigla ding pumasok ulit sa isip niya ang sinabi ni Lisa kanina na kung mas maaga lang daw sana sila nagpakita okay pa sana. Napapaisip siya kung pano nga kung noon niya pa hinanap si Lisa, will Lisa really take responsibility of them? Papakasalanan ba siya nito?

Honestly, hindi niya naman talaga maitatanggi sa sarili niya that Lisa is still beautifully handsome. In fact mas lalo itong pumogi kesa nung huli niya itong nakita at mas nagmukha itong mature tingnan ngayon. She can't deny the tiny bit of attraction she have for Lisa. Sino bang hindi ma-attract sa isang Lalisa Manoban?

Kaya lang talaga hindi niya gusto ang pagiging arogante nito at isa pa hindi siya dapat ma-attract sa fiancé ng ibang babae. Mali iyon pero mabuti nalang talaga na hindi sila magtatagal dito.

Pagkauwi nila sa Korea, siguro naman back to normal na sila.

Sa kabila ng samut-saring mga bagay na pumapasok sa isipan ni Jennie ay natapos niya din ang paligo ng hindi niya namamalayan.

She turned off the shower and wrapped herself with a towel she found on the very bathroom she was in. Just at the moment she stepped out of the bathroom, she realized something.

Wala pala siyang dalang kahit na anong damit pagpunta niya dito dahil sa Pilipinas. Masyado siyang nagmamadali para maisipang magempake ng damit. Besides, akala niya ngayong araw din ay makakauwi na sila.

Napatampal nalang siya sa noo niya dahil sa sariling katangahan.
