Passion and Revenge (ON HOLD)

Chapter 36

Nakasandal ako sa upuan na nakatingin sa kawalan, hindi rin nagsasalita si Tony habang nagmamaneho ito, he knows I need space after what happened.

Umalis kami na bigo na makausap ang asawa ko or rather bigo na makausap ito ng matino.

Galit na galit itong lumabas sa loob ng kuwarto nang marinig niya ang boses ko. Her eyes full of hatred na pinapaalis ako. Screaming at me was not enough for her at akmang susugurin pa sana ako kahit karga ko si Hunter pero agad siyang napigilan ni Jake.

Nahihirapan akong tanggapin sa sarili ko that Vi hated me so much that she has this crazed look on her face habang nakatingin sa akin, her sweet mouth sprouting with venomous words directed to me.

Nikki has to begged me to leave when the two men can barely control her. When Hunter started to cry again dahil natakot ito sa malakas na boses ni Vi tsaka lang ako pumayag na umalis.

Poor Hunter.

I feel an unexplained protectiveness over the boy kaya halos madurog ang puso ko ng sinalubong ako nito na umiiyak, nagsusumbong ang mga mata.

I took him out of the place to get him away sa nagwawalang si Vi. He was so tired of crying that when I gave him to Nikki before we left, namumungay na ang mga mata nito sa antok.

He look so adorable and angelic while sucking his thumb na mabigat ang loob ko na iwan siya.

"Who's Hunter?"

"Excuse me?" baling ko kay Tony na nakatingin ng diretso sa kalsada.

"The boy, Hunter. Who is he?"

"Di ba sabi ko na sa'yo kapatid siya ni Vi. Why did you ask this again?" ayaw kong maungkat pa ang tungkol sa pagkatao ni Hunter na isa siyang ampon. The words leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

It pained me to think na basta na lang siya pinamigay ng totoong magulang niya na parang isang bagay na walang halaga. Hindi ba nila alam how lucky they are to have a sweet child like Hunter.

"They can really passed as siblings considering I can see Vic's features in Hunter and it's interesting to watched how the boy was attached to you."

Naisip ko rin 'yun, may hawig si Hunter sa magkapatid. Posibleng kamag anak nila ang tunay na magulang ng bata.

"Pero meron pang kahawig ang bata aside from her." this time lumingon siya sa akin, hinihintay ang reaction ko sa sinabi niya.

Napakunot lang ang nuo ko, wala akong maisip na ibang tao na kahawig ni Hunter maliban sa mga Colmenares.

"Ow, c'mon Allen. Don't tell me hindi mo na-realize what an outsider like me can see."

"I don't, so tell me what's on your mind then." nairitang sagot ko. There's so many things going on my mind and I don't have patience for Tony's guessing game.

"The shape of the boy's face, the eyes, the way he pursed his lips. Don't you recognize them?"

Umiling ako.

Tony sighed, para itong naubusan ng pasensiya when he got no answer from me.

"They are yours Allen! Hunter got your eyes, hindi lang siya kahawig ni Vic, kahawig mo rin ang bata. He's more of you in so many ways."

"H-hindi a-ako m-makahinga.."

"Shut your f*cking mouth!" and gave her a tight slap.

How dare she complain!

I grasped her neck tightly with my two hands, mas lalong tumitindi ang pagnanasa ko habang nakikita kong nahihirapan ito, tumitirik ang mga mata sa kakulangan ng hangin kaya mas binilisan ko pa ang pagbayo ng ari ko sa kaloob looban niya.
