Captivating Benjamin (4th Gen #11)

Chapter 39

"W-what do you mean, Dad?" Tanong ni Helliom ng suportahan nito ang likod niya sa muntik niyang pagkabuwal.

"I'll let her explain to you. Chameron.." Tito Frigus motioned his hand and a woman..no not just a woman but the doctor who did the surrogation entered the house!

She's wearing mask and a lab coat to prove that she's the Doctor Chameron.

"Here's the papers." Ani ng doctora at inabutan sila ng papeles na patunay na siya ang nak ng bata.

The DNA of her and Drix Leo compared to Ivy. And the surrogation method that's not a virto fertilization but...

"I'm the one who conducted the surrogacy. The original plan of Ivy and Belum was virto fertilization which is we are using Ivy and Hellion's egg and sperm combined but I didn't do it as per Frigus requested." Dr. Chameron explained.

"W-what?" Nanghihinang usal niya sa gulat.

Dr. Chameron looked at her.

"I used the other way of surrogation, in which I injected Hellion's sperm inside you. Your egg and Hellion's sperm met and form a baby. That's traditional surrogation, kind of artificial insemination. And therefore, there's no doubt that you are Drix Leo's biological mother, not Iviana but you, Clea."

Napatakip siya ng bibig at napahagulhol sa narinig. She almost fell on the ground when her energy run away from her body but Hellion quickly held her.

"S-si Drix Leo...anak ko si Drix Leo." She cried.

"What?! I can't believe you! Belum and I trusted you---"

"I suggest you don't shout at my wife, Scotz." Tito Frigus warned and revealed.

Tinanggal ni Dr. Chameron ang mask nito at ina nga iyon ni Hellion na si Tita Cham.

"Fuck." Hellion cussed.

Agad na sinamaan ito ng magulang.

"D-dad, Mom, why didn't you tell me?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Hellion sa magulang habang siya ay napahagulhol na lang.

She was played. Fuck, she was played.

She was happy knowing that Drix Leo is her son. She's the real Mom, she is, not Ivy but remembering the pain she went through about her just a surrogate mother of Drix Leo, she's hurt.

God, what did I do to deserve this?

"Instead of questioning, aren't you gonna thank us instead?"

"Dad!"

Agad na nawala ang emosyon sa mukha ni Tito Frigus. Agad itong pinigilan ng asawa.

"'Yan ang napapala mo sa katigasan ng ulo mo, Hellion Drixton. Hindi ka nakikinig. You just have to be thankful that I save your ass, if not, what do you think will happen to your woman? Carrying the burden of being not the biological mother of your son. And if one day you'll get married, you are making Drix Leo a bastard because your wife is not the biological mother. It could create a big complication if I didn't manipulate it." Mariin na pangaral ng ama nito.

Napayuko ang binata. Hindi niya alam kung anong nasa isip nito.

"Calm down, please?" Tita Cham whispered on his husband.

"What the hell? What kind of drama is this?" Inis na palatak ni Ivy.

"Bring her out." Utos ni Tita Cham sa pulis.

Agad na sumunod ang mga ito at hinawakan si Ivy sa magkabilang balikat.

"What?! Let me go! Bakit ba ako ang kinukulong niyo! Anak ko si Drix! Clea, papatayin kiya! Aargh! Let me go!" Pagwawala ni Ivy hanggang sa tuluyan na itong nakaladkad ng mga pulis palabas ng bahay.

Naikuyom niya ang kamao at nawala ang emosyon sa kanyang mga mata.

"You're hiding the truth to realized Hellion's his mistakes and to learn his lesson...and you didn't realized what kind of chaos you have brought in me." She said.

"C-clea..."

Lumingom siya sa binata.

"Nakakatawa, 'no? Hindi ka sinabihan ng katotohanan  para matutunan mo ang pagkakamali mo. Ikaw ang pinaparusahan pero bakit ako ang naghirap?" Nabasag ang boses niya at lumayo sa binata.

"Clea.." Hellion tried reaching her but she keeps on stepping back.

"We're partly at fault and we're sorry, hija. But it's Hellion's job to begged for your forgiveness. We're leaving. Leo, come with Daddy-Lo." Ani Tito Frigus.

Lumapit naman si Drix Leo na gulat rin sa pangyayari.  Inakbayan na nito ang asawa at naglakad palabas.

Nag-aalinlangan pa si Tita Cham na umalis pero pinabayaan na lang silang dalawa.

Only her sobs can be hear on every corner.

"C-clea, I didn't know---"

"Alam ko. Parehas tayong walang alam. Ang masakit lang sa katotohanan ay ikaw ang rason kung bakit..." Napatakip siya sa bibig niya at napahagulhol.

"Hindi dapat ako magdrama, 'di ba? Masaya dapat ako kasi...nalaman ko ang katotohanan na ako ang ina ng bata. Na ako ang tunay na ina, na kahit pagbaliktarin pa ang mundo, hindi na siya mawawalay sa akin kasi ako ang tunay niyang ina."

Napatakip siya ng bibig para matahimik ang hagulhol niya.

"P-pero ang sakit Hellion...Nakita mo ako, 'di ba? I've suffered postpartum depression. Napapraning ako dahil baka ano mang oras darating si Ivy...na baka kunin niya sa akin, kasi kahit ako ang nagsakripisyo ay hindi pa rin ako ang tunay niyang ina."

"Clea..." Hellion tried to touch her but she shoved his hand away.

"And you think that three years you gave me, I'm really fully healed? That I'm fine?...Umiiyak ako Hellion. Most nights, I cried when Drix Leo fell asleep. I cried saying sorry that I can't be her real mom...I-i...I was ready to take my life, just to not see Drix Leo taken away from me."

"'Nung una pa lang pinaglaruan na ni Mama ang buhay ko. Then Ivy and, now your parents... and you know why they did that? Because of you, Hellion. You are the reason why I'm in pain right now."

"Clea, I'm sorry. Hindi ko alam!---"

"Alam mo kung anong mas masakit? Ang taong handa kong mahalin ay siya ang rason kung bakit ako nasasaktan ngayon. Your sorry can't healed my pain, my depression, amd my sadness, Hellion. It'll only meant to hurt me more."
