Run After Her

Calyx Kheifer Huscaro

A month passed, pinasundan ko sa private investigator ko si Kourtney. I'm waiting for his news every single day.

We broke up. Me and Vien broke up but she didn't know that I have a child already with my bestfriend.

My phone rang for the first time this day na kinatuwa ko. Dahil it's an international call from my private investigator.

"Mr. Huscaro, Miss Sillero just.." paramg nahihirapan siyang sabihin ang gusto niyang sabihin sa'kin.

"What is it? Is she healthy, she just what?" Curios na tanong ko sakanya.

"Miss Sillero, just had an abortion. She had a schedule in this clinic. I asked for the information, and she just aborted your child. I'm sorry for your loss, Mr. Huscaro."

"But it seems like the reason why she aborted it is because of another man? I think she's already married." Seryoso ang pagkakasabi nito.

Married? Parang nung nakaraang buwan lang ay inayawan niya ang arrange marriage namin? Dahil ba hindi niya talaga 'ko mahal? Or dahil mahal niya talaga 'ko pero mas matimbang ang pagmamahal niya sa asawa niya ngayon?

"What? Maybe you're mistaken, Atty. Sanfworth. She's my fiancée and she can't be married to anyone, unless it's me."

"Calyx, kilala mo 'ko. Malinis ang trabaho ko, ni minsan sa buhay ko hindi ako pumalya sa mga hinahawakan ko." Mayabang na sabi niya.

"Is that so, Oliver?"

Oliver and I have been friends ever since our high school days. Madalas lang siyang tulog sa klase, pero tignan mo nga naman. He graduated as a valedictorian and a summa cum laude. Ang patulog-tulog lang dati, asensadong asensado ngayon.

Sa pagkakaalam ko ay may girlfriend na siya. 1 taon na daw sila ng girlfriend niya at kakauwi lang nito galing Pilipinas. Gusto niya ngang ipakilala sa'kin kaso sabi ko na busy pa ang schedule ko. Masyado pang madaming ginagawa.

Occupied din ako ng pagbibili ng mga gamit para sa nursery ng anak namin ni Kourtney, but it seems like it's too late already. She aborted our child. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ayaw niyang tanggapin ang bata, ang masaklap pinatay pa. She hates people who kills, murder and aborts. But, does she hate herself too? Ang batang walang kamuwang-muwang, pinatay nalang niya dahil hindi niya tanggap?

Hindi niya 'ko mahal, pero minahal niya 'ko. I know that she did and she still love me.

Kourtney, bakit kailangan mo 'kong pahirapan ng ganito? Sana ako nalang, bakit dinamay mo pa ang anak natin. He or she's a blessing from above, but you just have sinned. Bakit pati siya?

Ganyan ka ba kagalit sa'kin? Na pati mismong anak mo papatayin mo?

"Hey Calyx Kheifer, are you still there?" Rinig kong nagsalita ang nasa kabilang linya.

"A-ah, yes. What are you saying?" Tanong ko.

"Si Miss Sillero, ano mo ba talaga siya?" Napatigil naman ako sakanya.

"She's a fiancée of mine by the choice of the 2 biggest company in the business industry." Yun nalang ang isinagot ko.

"Alam kong fiancée mo siya, dahil balitang-balita dito sa America. But why are you doing this? Pa'no ang girlfriend mo?"

"Alam naman na niya, Oliver. She's the one who told me to chase my dreams. She told me that my fiancée and my child needs me. She let me go." Sabi ko.

"Letting go is now a choice of her. I thought kayo ang ikakasal. You're one of the most perfect couple. Hindi ko alam na may affair na naganap."

"It isn't an affair. Kourtney isn't my mistress."
