Chapter 20
"Y-you what?"
Mukhang hindi makapaniwala si Kenzou sa sinagot ko. Shock is evident on his eyes, he probably didn't expect that from me.
I am not the type of girl you would want to love, Kenzou. I am problematic, toxic and my past interferes with my mind too much that I am unable to make the right decisions.
Funny, how I always condemned my mother, sister and even my sister in law for making the bad decisions in their life. Mga nagpabuntis ng maaga. Ang sabi ko, hindi ako gagaya. Pero heto at mas malala pa nga ang sa akin.
Kabit ako. Tangina. At hindi lang basta kabit dahil may bastardo na akong dinadala sa tiyan ko ngayon.
Paano ko ito bubuhayin? Paano ko ipapaliwanag sa kanyang hindi kami magiging buong pamilya dahil ang ama niya ay may asawa't anak? How will this child live this life knowing he's an illegitimate child?
Pucha, hindi ko naman ginusto 'to. Hindi ko naman ginustong maging kabit. Wala akong alam. At ang una pang pumasok sa isip ko kay manatili sa lintek na lalaking 'yon.
Bwisit.
Mali 'yon e. Kahit sabihin mong wala akong alam, alam kong mali pa rin kung mananatili ako sa kanya sa kabila ng lahat.
"I want to abort this baby," I firmly said. "May alam si ate. Maghahanap ako, pwede mo 'ko samahan—"
"Do you fucking hear yourself?" iritadong saad niya sa akin. "I know the father's a fucking asshole, but that is your child! Wala siyang kasalanan sa nangyari sainyo!"
"I know," I calmly replied. "Pero isipin mo ang buhay niya pagbinuhay ko to at pinalaki. Hindi ko kaya maging ina, Kenzou. Hindi ko kaya. At wala pa akong ipon, kung hihiwalay ako kay Axer—" kinagat ko ang labi. "Hindi ko kaya magisa ito."
"Then I'll be the father of the child," pagpresinta niya. "I'll take care of everything. Hospital bills, checkups, the needs of this child when it comes out at hanggang sa paglaki niya."
"Kenzou—"
"Don't give me that look, Gianna. I'm willing to give everything, just to convince you that child should be given a chance to live." he firmly said. "No more buts, ako ang magiging ama niyan."
Umawang ang labi ko. I've never seen this side of him. Si Kenzou Yamamoto, gusto maging ama ng anak ko?
"Just break up with him, Gianna. Kung natatakot ka na wala sasalo sayo, I will do it. I'll protect you from them..."
Hindi ko mapigilan ang maluha. Mahal niya ba talaga ako? Ganoon niya talaga ako mahal na kaya niyang akuin ang batang hindi kanya?
"Don't you understand? Hindi ko kaya maging ina, Kenzou! Hindi ko kaya tingnan ang batang ito at hindi maalala ang ama niya. I can't be a single mother at mas lalong ayaw kong idamay ka pa rito. This child is not yours to take responsibility!"
"But I'm willing aren't I?" he said in all seriousness.
Napahilamos ako sa mukha gawa nang frustration.
"Ano nalang sasabihin ng pamilya mo? Na disgrasyada ako? Na nagpabuntis ako sa ibang lalaki at pinaako ko sayo? Kenzou, you have to understand! Kahit pamilya ko hindi matatanggap ang batang 'to!"
"Then I'll accept that child, if you can't! Wala akong pakialam kung hindi ko kadugo 'yan. Or if the father of that child is a liar and manipulator! I can't take it if you will do this to yourself, Gianna. That child is your flesh and blood, and sure you make mistakes... but aren't we all doing the same?"
