When Love and Hate Collide [ Series 2]

Hype Boy

Jared driving back to Las Piñas after the 3 days camp with Lemon. Kasunod niya sa likod ang kaibigan na nasa sarili nilang sasakyan.

Pinasuri niya magdamag ang kalmot at pasa ni Lemon. He bought a lot of medicines and ointment para mawala lang ito.

But Jaz knew what happened. She's so worried about Lemon. Kaya maaga silang umalis doon kahit hapon pa pwedeng umuwi.

Jared use his ways to go home early. He's too over reacting about Lemon but what he can do? Hindi niya gustong masaktan ang bata na kahit sino.

"Daddy, I'm fine. Mawawala din naman to. Mommy had that smelly ointment but it's good."

Jared shake his head and he heard lemon whine.

"No baby, what if ma infection yan? Your mom's gonna kill me."

"Not gonna happen. Promise, hindi naman masakit eh. Uncle Jani check it kanina naman."

Napabuntong hininga nalang si Jared then look at Lemon. The girl give puppy eyes on him.

"Just buy me ice cream,daddy."

"Okay fine. Let's stop at the ice cream parlor before I bring you home."

[ Jaz POV]

I visited my bestfriend Ajin kasama si Zein. They keep talking about how Jared react sa gulong nangyari sa camp ng mga bata.

"My daughter is really a fighter! Gosh she's growing so fast." Naiiyak na sabi ni Zein sabay pahid ng imaginary tears nito.

"Lalaking boxingera yang anak mong babae makikita mo." Ajin said at nilatak ang fries sa harap niya.

"Heh! Ikaw, bat andito ka nga pala? Diba dapat nasa studio mo ikaw ngayon?" Tanong ni Zein kay Ajin pero ngumisi lang ito sa amin.

"I'm here to accompany you both. I already finished my 23rd masterpiece. And wanna give this to you."

Sabay abot sa amin ng apat na ticket. It's an event sa Cultural Arts Exhibit.

"Isama niyo ang gusto niyong isama wag lang ang mga bata. Children wasn't allowed." She sang and stood up bago nagsaludo sa amin na aalis na.

"How do you meet her again?" Zein asked while still looking at Ajin faded figure.

I smiled and trying to remember every detailed how I met that clumsy painter girl.

"Nga pala ngayon uuwi ang mag-ama ko. Nasabi din ni San na malalate ng uwi ang anak mo at si Jared."

"Bakit?"

"Nag-aya daw yong anak mo na mamasyal mo na kahit last nalang daw. Well, mukhang nagkakalapit ang mag-amㅡ Aray gago!"

Nasampal ko sya ng fries sa mukha. Napatingin ako sa paligid namin baka may makarinig at makaabot kay Jared.

He's a powerful man. He can manipulate everything. Baka may mga tauhan pala yon dito na umaaligid.

"Praning mo masyado! Walang may makakarinig sa atin. Sakit tuloy ng bibig ko."

"Ipakiss mo kay San." Sabi ko at umirap.

"Bitter ka lang. Sabagay, mag lilimang taon na si Lemon. Limang taon kana din hindi nadiligan."

Nailabas ko bigla ang iced tea sa bibig ko dahil sa sinabi ni Zein. I cough hard and try to inhale and exhale.

"Gosh Zeinary Rivero, what the hell!" I exclaimed in a small voice.

"It's true! Kaya kung ako sayo sabihin mo na kay Jared ang totoo para madiligan ka naman."

"No! Tsaka bat ako magpapadilig ha? Ikaw na babae na napakabastos ng bunganga mo."

Inirapan niya ako at sumipsip sa inumin niya. Habang umiinom ito ay umaacting pa ito nang nakakadiri.

"Oh oh magrereklamo ka naman dahil ganito ako uminom? Tsk tsk." Depensa niya kaya tumahimik nalang ako.

"Kung ayaw mo kay Jared, try mo kay Harvey."

[ Jared POV ]

It's already 8pm. It's been hours since we play arcade and riding a lot of rides. But Lemon still have a lot of energy.

"Are you ready to go home now?" I asked her and she nodded.

Naglakad sila bitbit ang mga laruan na kanilang napanalunan sa mga laro.

Kung titignan ay para silang mag-ama na nagbonding. They have some photos together na kuha ng mga street photographer.

"I'm hoping you will take care of that." Sabi niya kay Lemon na nakatingin sa litrato nilang dalawa.

"I will keep it Uncle Jared. I'll treasure it so so so much." The kid give him a big smile and Jared can't help to ruffle her hair.

"Of course, you will. Who I am again? What the people calling me earlier?"

"You're a hype boy daddy! The best daddy in the whole world!"

Lemon shouted and Jared can't help again to fall inlove on the child. His heart is thumping so loud na parang ayaw niyang ibalik sa ina ang bata.

"Your hype boy will bring you home now sweetie." He said and kiss Lemon forehead.

"When will I see my hype boy daddy again?"

"I don't know baby. But I will text and call your mom if I have a chance, okay?"

Lemon nodded and hd his hand.

Jared couldn't think straight right now. He wants a child. He wants his own child. At iisa lang ang gagawin niya. Because of Lemon effect on him. Hahanapin niya ang babaeng naka one night stand niya sa Australia 5 years ago.

Oohhh emmm geeeee sige hanapin mo Jared at nang magka-alaman naaaaa!!
