His Model (Leviste Series 2)

Chapter 32

To be a Father

Pauwi na kami pero nanatiling walang kibo si Matthew.

I know he heard what his father asked me.

"Anak," hindi pa din sya kumibo

"You're papa Theo got us our ticket already. We will leave by the end of the month. Is that okay with you?" Tumango lamang ito at nanatiling nakatanaw sa dinadaanan namin

"Do you want to formally know your father?" Hindi sya sumagot.

"You're father asked me to let him meet you"

Pagkukuwento ko. Panay ang sulyap ko sa kanya para makita ang kanyang reaksyon.

"Hindi ko pa sya pinapayagan because I want you to be the one who will permit him."

Nanatiling walang kibo si Matthew hanggang sa makauwi kami.

"So? Do I need to cancel your flights?" Theo asked

Nandito kami ngayon sa library ng mansion. Naikuwento ko na sa kanya ang nangyare. Amethyst is also here.

Hindi ko pa nga pala sya nakokompronta tungkol sa pagsasabi nya kay Akiro na anak nya si Matthew

"Hindi ba at boyfriend mo si Akiro?"

I asked her without looking at her.

"Yeah" she said in a low voice

"Then why the hell did you tell him that he has a son?"

"Im sorry Amelia. I know I don't have the rights to do that. Pero naaawa ako kay Akiro. Whenever we are together, bukambibig nya ang anak nya. He always wondered kung babae ba ito o lalaki. He will always say na kung babae man ito ay paniguradong maganda ito dahil maganda ka! Kung lalaki man ay paniguradong magmamana sa kanya. Kapag may dadating na report mula sa kanyang investigators ay halos kalimutan na nya na nasa date kami. He is so focused and worked up on finding his child! And one time, we went to his condo with our team for a meeting, you know what he did after our meeting?

He proudly showed us two rooms. The first room is decorated and full of girly stuffs while the other room is full of boy stuff. He said, that's the room of his child. He even has this one picture frame at his living room, a small sonogram of, I think your child.

Every weekend, I will receive a call from the bar telling me to take him home dahil lasing na sya. He's always miserable whenever he receives report and updates na hindi pa din kayo nakikita"

Pagkukuwento ni Amy habang lumuluha. Lumapit sya sa akin and held my hands

"Sandaling panahon ko pa lang sya nakikilala at nakakasama pero nakita ko, naramdaman ko na gusto nya makita ang anak nyo, tanggap nya kayo at mahal na mahal"

I went to Matthew's room. Natutulog na ito at yakap yakap ang paboritong stuff toy. Nakita ko naman na nakabuklat ang kanyang journal notebook. Isasara ko na sana iyon nang may nahulog na kung anong papel. Pinulot ko iyon at nagulat sa nakita. Its an edited picture of me and Matthew with a picture of Akiro. Halata mong edited ito dahil magkakaiba ang background

Sept. 5, 20**

Papa, Mama & Me

The date was when we we're still at the U.S. Ibig bang sabihin, matagal nang alam ni Matthew na sya ang ama nya?

Napansin kong nag unat ang anak ko kaya dali dali kong inayos ang journal nya

"Mama" namamaos nyang sabi
