Taming Dramon (COMPLETED)

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: DONE

Rhian's POV

"Dramon?"

"Hmm?"

Nakayakap siya sakin habang nakatanaw kami sa kalangitan. We were on the rooftop. Ang dalawang anak ay nagliligo sa kabilang pool para sa mga bata.

"Nasaan sila...Coleen?"

Yumuko siya para titigan ako. Inaalam kung anong nararamdaman ko.

"I'm not jealous. Just asking." Inunahan ko na siya.

"Hmm?"

"Curious lang ako. That's all."

Sandali muli niya akong tinitigan. Pinagsiklop niya ang aming mga kamay. Sumandal ako sa kanyang dibdib.

"I don't know where they really are."

Napaangat ako ng tingin sa kanya. Nakataas ang kilay.

"That's the truth. I don't know where they are after I asked them to leave."

Hindi makapaniwalang tumitig ako sa kanya. Siya naman ay nakatitig na ngayon sa mga anak niyang masayang naliligo.

"Paano mo nalamang hindi sayo yung bata?"

He already told me that Coleen's daughter was not his. Hindi ko na nga lang inalam noon ang buong detalye.

Seryoso siyang tumitig sakin.

"Dad told me. He knows from the very beginning that the child is not mine."

"Eh? Totoo?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko.

Tumango siya bago nagpatuloy.

"He is also the reason why I can't find Coleen when I'm searching for her. He hid her."

Naningkit ang mga mata ko.

"So are you saying na kasalanan pa ng daddy mo na hindi mo nahanap si Coleen?"

"What? No, that's not what I mean. I was just explaining." Depensa niya sa sarili.

"Okay. Continue."

"Are you sure? You won't get mad?" Paninigurado nito. Tinitimbang ang mood ko kung magagalit nga ba ako.

"Yeah. I want to know."

He sighed and hug me tightly.

"Daddy knows everything even the plans of Coleen. She plans to make me take full responsibility of the child. But before she could do that, dad already blackmailed her to tell me the truth. That's why he offered to leave the country and just hide."

"Bakit hindi nalang sinabi sayo ni dad simula palang noong naghahanap ka sa kanya?"

"I don't know. He's a cunning old man. He loves to play hide and seek."

"Did really something happened..." I paused, "between you and Coleen?"

His hugged become tighter. He then kissed me on the forehead as if avoiding the question.

Of course I know that something happened. I just...want to confirm.

"Dramon?"

"Do you really want me to answer?"

I slowly nodded. Giving him permission to answer. Malalim itong napabuntong-hininga.

"I was her first but not the father."

"Ikaw ang nauna pero hindi ikaw ang ama? You mean, after you two...did that, she had an affair and impregnated by someone?" Napakalas ako ng pagkakayakap sa kanya. Nagsalubong ang kilay nito bago ako muling hinila at niyakap.
