Kabanata 26
[ Cassidy's point of view ]
Hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko magawang alisin ang mga mata ko sa magandang babae na nasa harapin namin ni Alessandro.
Ang babaeng 'to kasi ay alam kong matagal ng patay. Si Georgina na dating fiancee ni Alessandro na siyang namatay sa car accident, 9 years na ang nakakalipas.
"Daddy where did you go?" muli ulit akong natigilan ng magsalita muli ang batang nasa gilid ko. Tinignan ko 'to at medyo malaki na nga ito, nakatingala ito kay Alessandro.
"Griffin." ngumiti si Alessandro sa bata bago niya binalingan nang tingin si Georgina. Ang kanyang mga mata ay naging malamig muli.
"Who told you to come here?" malamig ang boses niyang tanong, tinignan ko si Georgina at ang mata niya ay parang nagmamakaawa kay Alessandro.
"I-i just want to see Griffin, I miss him.." mahina at tila natatakot nitong sagot "Dad, I wanna see Mommy too. I'm all alone here in this mansion, I feel really lonely."
Pagkasabi nun ay lumapit ang bata kay Georgina bago ito yumakap sa bewang ng babae. Si Georgina naman ay napangiti ng tipid bago hinawakan ang ulo ng bata.
"Griffin, I told you that you can meet your Mom outside. You can't let her stay here." even if I'm not looking to Alessandro, I can feel his anger.
Nakita ko naman ang pagiging malungkot ng mata nung batang lalaki. Nakaupo pa din ako sa wheelchair at tahimik lang.
I still have no clue about what's happening right now and Alessandro? I think he also forgot that I'm here infront of him.
"Let's talk Alessandro." malamig ang boses kong usal. Dahil doon ay sakin na napunta ang atensyon nilang tatlo. Ang batang lalaki ay natigilan habang pinag mamasdan ako.
Ramdam ko naman ang pagiging ilang ni Georgina. I looked up at Alessandro who's still standing behind me.
His eyes were full of rage while he was looking at Georgina, but when it landed on me, that emotion quickly changed. It became gentle and soft.
"Go to the garden." utos niya sa dalawa, yumuko naman si Georgina bago kinuha ang batang lalaki. Nakatingin lamang ako sa kanila hanggang sa makapunta sila sa likod.
"W-what's the meaning of that!? Who's that kid and why he was calling you a father!?" mabilis kong tanong pagkawala pa lang ng dalawa sa mata ko.
I'm confuse, Georgina is dead long ago. Before I enter the Chavilire family and meet her by myself, she already died in a car accident.
So who's that girl!? Who's that kid!?
Umupo si Alessandro sa harapan ko para mag pantay ang paningin namin. He looked guilty and sad, that's why I can't help but be nervous because I'm afraid of what he will say.
"Georgina and I met again last month, she's the one who saved you from the man who tried to kill you in the bar, and she's also the one who sent you to the hospital immediately that night." dahil doon ay hindi ko maiwasan magulat.
Si Georgina? Siya ang nag tulak sa lalaking yun nung gabing yun?
"B-but I thought she was dead!?" huminga nang malalim si Alessandro bago niya hinawakan ang kamay ko.
