Mr. CEO's Baby

Chapter 10

I was speechless for a moment. When I recovered, I pushed him.

"A-anong pinagsasabi mo?" I hissed.
"Tigilan mo nga ako! I told you already, handa akong kalimutan ang nangyari noon. Hindi mo ba ako narinig? I want to live normally. Okay na ako. Okay na kami nang anak ko." Garalgal kong sabi.

Umigting ang kanyang panga. As if he was not pleased by what he heard. He stared at me and spoke..

"I was a jerk before." He started
"I thought you cheated on me. When Paris showed me the video, I was very devastated Lia. I couldn't believe you could do that. You know how much I love you. I couldn't processed, my ego couldn't accept it. I was blinded by those lies. Then, I hurted you. I'm sorry."

"Sorry?" I scoffed
"Sorry saan? Are you sorry for those nasty words that you've thrown? Na ano nga ulit? I was dirty?
Na pinagsisihan mo na minahal mo ako? Na marumi ako?Are you sorry for pushing me? Are you sorry for not accepting your own child? Are you sorry for letting me bear your child by myself? Which one? I was alone Vlad.
Alam mo yan, but what did you do?" Nangingilid ang luha ko while asking him those.

Years went by pero I realized na masakit pa din pala. Everything flashed back. My family. They disgust me. They abandoned me when I needed them. The only person I thought na magmamahal saakin at po protekta was the one who inflicted me the greatest pain. I was scared. There was a time I couldn't eat three times a day. I was very thin because I couldn't get the proper nutrients that a pregnant woman should have. I couldn't even buy stuffs for my baby. I had to work kahit malaki na ang tiyan. I was crying at night thinking kung papaano haharapin ang buhay na kami lang. Paano ko papalakihin ang anak nang walang ama? My mind was clouded with questions and worries.

Nakita ko ang bigo nitong mukha. Maybe he didn't expect my sudden outburst. I wiped my tears.

"Lalabas na ako. Hindi maganda na nandito tayo sa opisina at nagsusumbatan nang nakaraan."

"Lia.."

I didn't listen to him. I opened the door and went outside. 
I even saw Mr. Koch sitting while talking to Flynn. When he saw me, confusion was drawn to his face.

"Okay ka lang?" Si Flynn when I sat on my chair "

"Yeah" I nodded trying not to meet his gaze.

"I heard pinatawag ka. Namumugto ang mga mata mo."

"Wala to. Okay na Flynn.."

"Lia, napagalitan kaba? Sorry, kasalanan ko ata." Si Nica

"Hindi mo kasalanan Nica. It was me. I mean, hindi kasi ako nakikinig kanina."

We stopped from talking when we heard the office door opened.
He's now walking towards our direction.

"Sir Koch.."

"Sir..

"Sir.." I heard Mr. Aviar, Nica and Flynn addressed him

"I have another set of meeting. My secretary will talk to you about our arrangement and.."

Then he looked at me

"We're not done yet. We need to talk and some explaining to do." He didn't even give Mr. Aviar and Flynn the last glance. He headed to the elevator. His secretary followed him.

I sat on my chair. Nagsibalikan na din ang mga empleyado sa kani kanilang posisyon at nagsimulang magtrabaho. Now, I felt weak after our last encounter.

Saturday comes. I was busy cleaning when my phone suddenly rang.

"Hello?"

"A-ate?"

"Lana? Hey, are you okay? Napatawag ka?"

"Ate, si dad.." I heard her cries after she mentioned about our father.

"He needs you. Ate please. Please pumunta ka dito sa bahay. Ayaw niyang magpa ospital."

"Lana, naiintindihan mo naman siguro ang sitwasyon namin diba?

"Why can't you just forgive him? Ate naman! That was years ago."

"Lans, please understand me."

"No! Ate, I've been contacting you for a long time. Please, don't shut your door to us. We're still your family. I was very young to understand what happened before pero I still tried to understand you. I was even on your side. I hated dad for asking you to get rid of Eli before. For not helping you out. Pero ate, he's a change man now. He's weak ate and he needs us. He needs you and Eli."

"Lana, kasi, yung matagal na yon andun padin. Kasi masakit padin Lans. Kahit na matagal na, masakit padin."

"Ate.."

"I'm sorry." I sobbed and ended the call.

My sister Lana knew everything. My parents were devastated when they found out that I was pregnant. They were even furious when I couldn't name the father of my baby. My dad suggested to get rid of it. If not, itatakwil niya ako. My father was a politician that time. Meron siyang pangalan na iniingatan. Vlad came from a well known family. My father believed na ang paglalapit namin ni Vlad will lead him to win the election.  Since his family was powerful, the more na mas makakahatak nang suporta sa mga tao. Gustong gusto siya ni dad kaya hindi nito matanggap na hindi si Vlad ang tatay nang anak ko. My father stopped from entering politics.

Now, he is sick, so my sister wants me to visit him. I don't know. Kaya ko na ba harapin ang sariling pamilya? We never had a contact nang umalis ako sa puder nila. Ang nakaraan ay patuloy na bumabalik.

"Momma, sad ka po?" My baby asked

"No, hindi sad si mommy."

"Baby?"

"Yes, momma?"

I tucked her hair on her ear. "Do you want to see lolo?" While cupping her cheeks.

" I will see lolo na? He's not angry na?"

" Angry? Bakit naman angry si lolo?"

" Kasi momma, sabi ni ninang Vie, he's always angry. I'm sad nga po kasi angry siya for a long time."

" Naku baby, yang ninang mo talaga. She's just joking. Okay? Hindi angry si lolo. I think, gusto ka niyang makita. He's excited pa nga."

" Really momma?"

I nodded

"Okay, momma. I want to see lolo na." I smiled and hugged her. I want her to feel my comfort and protection.
