Morpheus Obsession

MO | FIFTY FIVE

Khione's POV

After weeks of spending all my available time with Kimiko ay kinailangan na ako sa kumpaniya ni papa. 

"Go to each of those companies." He reached for the list on the paper. "Find out who is the traitor among my men."

There was a traitor among his men who was sabotaging the shipments of his guns and stash and stole them.

"After this, please stop asking for more, papa. Kailangan ako ng anak ko." My father did not pay attention to my pleas.

"Instead of letting her play at your house. Why not teach that kid how to handle guns? You're at the same age as her when we trained you to do the same."

Nakaramdam ako ng matinding galit sa sinabi ni papa. "Leave my child out of this."

As long as I can, I'll keep Kimiko out of the Mafia life I endured growing up and I'll never allow my daughter to go through the struggles I had with my father.

Dante assisted me in finding a new dependable babysitter for Kimiko as he knew I was reluctant to hire a maid.

"I can't fetch her everytime. Your dad found out about it." Sagot ni Dante.

He talked to me, that when he gets through, he'll be back to help me with Kimiko.

Even though I was not that assured, I couldn't do anything but agree because it was me who was being tortured by papa.

"I have to go." I was already in a hurry to leave after he ordered to prepare the paperwork for the new trading of illegal products.

The maid, who will start working as Kimiko's new nanny next week, is still unavailable. She is still taking care after those she will leave behind in the province.

I arrived at Kimiko's school after six o'clock in the afternoon. I was still a little taken aback by the fact that Yana was also there.

"Wala pa rin ho ang sundo ni Yana?" Pagharap ko sa adviser nila.

"Wala pa rin po ma'am eh. Buti nga nandito si Kimiko dahil nalilibang din siya."

"How about Yana's mother? Hindi ba siya sinusundo?"

"Ahh.." Nag-isip ang guro, sinusubukang alalahanin, "—sa ilang buwan na nakalipas, yung tatay lang po ng bata ang nakikita namin rito. Pero kakiala niyo po yung tatay niya diba?"

"Opo."

"Narinig ko nung isang beses na nagkausap kayo na dati kayong magka-klase?" Tumango naman ako. "Kaya akala ko, sa magkaparehong ilang araw na hindi niyo masundo ang mga bata ay baka nasa reunion kayo."

"Reunion?"

"Opo, Miss Khione." Sambit ng guro.

Reunion? Wala akong ibang ka-close sa mga naging kaklase ko kung hindi si Khaos lang.

Bukod sa laging masasama ang tingin sa'kin ng mga babae, wala rin akong oras para makipagkaibigan at sumama sa iba't ibang gala dahil after classes ay kailangan kong umuwi agad at mag-train sa bahay.

I only felt what happiness and a care-free life when I lived on Lowe's Mansion together with his 4 friends. There are days when I still cry on my sleep whenever I miss them.

My daughter has been asking me lately about her dad's whereabouts. I told her that he works in another country for our family.

"But Tita Mona said na mayaman daw tayo, Mommy. Bakit kailangan pa pong mag-work ni daddy sa ibang bansa?" I almost slap my palm against my face. Ang daldal talaga ni Mona.
