Chapter Thirty-four
Killer
"I know your family, Aeva." Seryosong sinabi sa akin ni Adam.
I looked at him and couldn't say anything...
"I still cannot believe it that my own son grew up with the kind of family you have." He said.
I get it. I know that he's referring to my family who were a family of assassins... And I know that Adam thinks that we are dangerous for Mikos. I think that, too. Kaya nga palagi rin akong nag-aalala noon pa man lalo na para sa anak ko. Dahil rin sa klase ng pamilya na mayroon ako.
He probably already had us investigated... Kaya nga hindi ko pa rin alam hanggang ngayon kung bakit wala siya o ang pamilya niya na ginawang aksyon pagkatapos ng nangyari rin noon sa kaniya involving my family, the Zachmanns.
I know that with the kind of a powerful family he has, the Rozovskys, alam kong may magagawa rin sila. But they remained not doing anything about it up until now...
At hindi rin naman sa gusto kong may gawin sila... I just wonder. And I'm glad that they didn't do anything to my family or to me...
"I've been just holding myself back because of my son. But I want to make it clear that I didn't like any of this, Aeva. Hindi ko nagustuhan na pinalaki ang anak ko kasama n'yo na mga kriminal..."
My eyes widened. Alam ko rin naman ang pinupunto rito ni Adam... Pero hindi ko pa rin maiwasan na makaramdam pa rin ng sakit sa mga sinasabi niya sa akin ngayon...
And he didn't stop there as he continued throwing me words after words. And I just kept my silence until he was finished...
"I didn't like that you hide my own child from me. I should've been there. I should've been able to take of my son. Hindi sana siya lumaking wala ako. Hindi mo dapat siya pinagkait sa akin." aniyang puno pa rin ng hinanakit.
And I just accepted it all...
"So now I think that it will only be right kung sa akin naman ang anak ko." He said.
It caught my attention and I looked back up at him.
"What do you mean, Adam..." nasambit ko na rin.
He was also just looking at me. And I couldn't read his emotions... "Mikos deserve to grow up in a better environment. I won't allow for him to continue living with you." He said.
And I can't help it anymore but to interrupt him. "Ano ang ibig mong sabihin, Adam? Kukunin mo ba si Mikos sa akin? Anak ko siya, Adam." I firmly said, showing my disagreement to him.
"And he's my son, too." mariin din na sinabi sa akin ni Adam.
Umiling ako.
Hindi ganito ang inasahan ko...
Inisip ko pa that when Adam will accept me again and our son, that maybe that would also be the time when I will talk to the Zachmanns.
I will quit being an assassin... Tatalikuran namin ng anak ko ang buhay na ito at maglalakas-loob na ako dahil nand'yan na si Adam at may tutulong na sa amin ni Mikos...
But maybe I was too idealistic... I didn't think this through. I should've known that it wouldn't be easy. Na hindi naman talaga basta-basta lang matatanggap ni Adam ang lahat...
I was wrong...
"It's for the best for Mikos. It what's best for my son. At inisip mo rin ba ito? What kind of job do you have now? Probably you're still working with your family." He gritted his teeth. "Have you ever think about Mikos, really? Alam ba ng anak natin ang ginagawa mo? How would Mikos probably feel when he finds out that his own mother is a killer?"
