The playful Greek dad

Chapter twelve

The following week,she was hesitant to go to work,but she don't have a choice. Kauupo pa lang niya sa kanyang swivel chair ng may mapansin siyang note sa ibabaw ng kanyang desktop.

Hindi niya ito inaasahan dahil hindi naman ito ganito kung makipag communicate, it's either he will call or send a messages through text or email which he rarely do. Isa lang ang ibig sabihin nito,galit ito sa kanya.

In my office when you arrived

GK.

I sigh deeply,all the explanations I memorise during the weekend all vanished the moment I read the note he left on my desktop. And if he's incredulous fury on her apartment last week was anything to go by,I am already dreaded on what will this meeting will come out. Could there be any worse way to find out that you fathered a child you never knew existed?

Kumatok ako ng dalawang beses bago pumasok sa kanyang opisina.

He was standing by the window looking at the beautiful Sydney's skyscraper. He turned around,bold with a grim features.

I just closed the door behind me when he started talking.

"Why didn't you tell me you had a child?"

"Geoffre......"

"Don't you think I have the right to know?"

I looked down at the floor,I can't think of anything except for the fuming handsome man in front of me.

"It's not that easy,it was a matter of......?"

"You let me kiss you,you let me think...." He compressed his lips a straight line.

"Alright! You were shocked...."

"What did you expect? I have been chasing you like a stupid teenager,I did not have any clue what you were keeping from me"

Mapanghamong mga titig ang makikita ngayon sa mga mata nito. Dahil sa pagtatago ko sa kanya sa aming anak,and I can understand why he's acting this way. I stand rigidly,pero ramdam ko na nangangatog na ang aking mga binti.

"I thought of telling you but....I was afraid,I know I couldn't keep George from you...."

He released a breath with a hiss.

"You had a nerve to accused me of infidelity? And all this time,I thought you dumped me because you could not allow yourself to be happy because of your....."

Naguguluhan na tiningnan ko siya. What's he on now?

"What are you talking about?"

He is circling around,rather than thinking on the main issue,,,George! Our son.

"....and all along it was because you had met someone else! Only I refused to see it"

He growled in front of me.

Halos mawalan ako ng lakas ng marealise ang kanyang mga sinabi. Hindi ako makapaniwala na ang tanging lalaking minahal ko ng higit pa sa lahat ay pagiisipan siya ng ganoon.

"I had met someone else?"

Nanginginig ang boses na tanong ko sa kanya

"The father of your child,where is he? Since you are living with your brother and his wife,I assumed that he is long gone!"

When she finally understood na naniniwala ang lalaki na nagkaroon siya ng anak sa ibang lalaki. Pagkadismaya at galit ang namuo sa kanyang puso.

"You assumed th...."

"Forget it! I don not want to know the sordid details"

Tumalikod ito sa kanyang harapan at muling humarap sa kagandahan ng siyudad,na para bang mapapawi ng tanawin ang lahat ng mga mali nitong paniniwala tungkol sa kanya at sa kanilang anak....kanyang anak pala dahil naniniwala itong iba ang ama ng kanyang anak. Gusto kong umiyak sa mga oras na ito,naghihinagpis ang aking kalooban sa pag uusap na ito.

Mabuti nalang pala at umalis ka agad ito nong nakaraang biyernes ng malaman na may anak na siya. Napanatag ako na hindi umiyak si George ng makitang umalis ang ama sa harapan nito marahil ay sa gulat nito at sa hindi magandang pakiramdam na rin.

Naging maayos din ang pakiramdam nito kinabukasan at bumalik kami sa aming routine na mag ina. Although puno ng pangamba ang aking puso at isipan dahil sa natuklasan na ni Geoffrey ang tungkol sa anak niya ay pilit kong inaabala ang sarili sa aking anak na mas importante kaysa sa ano pa mang bagay sa paligid.

"In fact,I do not even know why I wanted to talk to you,because really,what is there to say?"

"You've already said more than enough!"

She shouted back at him with a furious pain in her chest.

And he shot her with a sardonic appraisal.

"You are afraid to tell me that you had a child,admit it......"

"I refuse to continue this conversation!"

She turned her back on him and reach the door,she is shaking.

"Now you are trying to make me feel guilty,but your silence was inexcusable,,,,you deceived me!"

"Just like you once deceived me! Why should I care how you feel now?" My son's feelings Is more important than how you feel.

She slammed the door when she got out.
