CDS 2: Irresistible Desire

Chapter 34

Levi

Everything is so fucked up. I didn't mean to hurt her. Kahit ako ay nagulat din sa mga nalaman ko

Wala naman talaga akong planong itago sa kanya. I planned to tell it to her after my own investigation... but things happened

"Quit drinking Kuya"

I raised my head only to see my younger brother

"Hey bud! Come here, samahan mo akong uminom"

Kinuha ko ang isang bote ng alak at inabot sa kanya. Nakita ko ang pag aalalangan sa mga mata nya pero tinanggap nya rin naman sa huli

He pulled the seat in front of me and sat

"Let me guess, you went to Lili's house... at pinagtabuyan ka ulit"

Ano pa bang bago? Mas ayos sana kung sya mismo ang humaharap sa akin pero hindi eh. Kung hindi si Tito Lars, si Darcy or di kaya si Tita Elmira

I guess she hates me that much

"She doesn't want to talk to me" mapait akong ngumiti at tinungga ang bote ng alak

"You hurt her big time. It's reasonable. Okay lang naman na anak mo si Paolo pero ang mabuntis mo si Kendra habang sinusuyo mo si Lili? You're such an ass"

Umiling iling ito at ininom ang sariling alak. Bumuga ako ng malalim na hininga. Sumandal ako sa inuupuan ko. I want to defend myself that I was too drunk that time. Ni hindi ko nga maalala ang nangyari

"Tell me Kairix... how's the DNA I asked you?"

"Baka bukas or sa susunod na araw makukuha ang resulta"

Tumango ako

"Good. Make sure it won't be manipulated"

"Trust me, it won't"

That's enough assurance

"Bakit ba hindi ka agad nagpa-conduct ng DNA"

I sighed heavily

"My mind was a mess that time. Hindi ko alam kung paniniwalaan ko ba si Kendra. She told me that she was the girl I am with that night. We were in a bar, both drunk, and I took her in my condo. Tumutugma ang mga sinabi nya nang gabing iyon. Paolo is six years old, kung bibilangin mo ay tama lang ang edad nya. Then she presented a DNA and it says positive" ginulo ko ang buhok ko

"And you obviously believed her. Didn't know you're that dumb"

I glared at him

"My mind was in haywire for the past weeks. Ayoko rin na isipin ni Paolo na pinagdududahan ko sya. Paano kung totoong ako nga ang ama? It will surely pain him if he will learn that I conducted another test"

"You are not doubting him, you are doubting his mother's words. We're not even sure that Kendra was telling the truth"

Tumungga sya sa bote nya bago ito nilapag sa center table

"Paano ka nakakasiguro na siya yung babaeng iyon? Sorry to say this but I'm really doubting her. There are holes in her story. She told you her 'story' but you didn't tell her yours. She said she was too drunk that night that she couldn't remember you clearly. Then how the fuck she assumed that you were that man? No, she was pretty convinced that it was you"

Tama si Kairix. How the fuck I missed that detail?!

"At bakit ngayon nya lang sinabi? "

"She told me she wasn't sure at first. Ayaw nya raw akong komprontahin tungkol sa bagay na iyon. When she met with her friend, sinabi raw nito na ako iyon"
