DEVIL'S WRATH 1: Lucian Velorca (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 42

Napainom siya ng juice at napapailing. Para talaga siyang siraulo.

"Hanapin mo na siya bago mo pagsisihan ang lahat," saglit siyang napatingin sa'kin at muling tumitig sa basong hawak niya.

"You know what Milk? Ikaw lang talaga nakapagsalita ng gago sa'kin." napataas naman ang kaliwang kilay ko sa sinabi niya.

"Am I wrong? Totoo naman ah? napakagago ng lalaking gagawa gawa ng bata tapos tatakas?!"
Bigla nalang siya napatawa sa sinabi ko.

"Di naman ako tumakas ah? Ako pa nga tinakasan eh. Pero thank you, buti nalang sa'yo ako nagsumbong kaya nasabihan pa akong gago. But you're right, I have to take my responsibility."

"Dapat lang Lucard, accident man 'yon o hindi. Pero may nabuo, blessings 'yon sa'yo, matanda kana kaya panahon na."

"I'm just thirty, makatanda ka sa'kin."

Napatawa nalang ako sa kaniya. He's a good man, and I know he's capable of taking care of his future family.

"By the way, I talked to Hazelton last time." he immediately turned to look at me when I mentioned Hazel's name.

"What? What does he want?"

I told him everything that happened that day. And who I really am. Who I really am.

"What the? So you mean he's your father? Damn! Malaking gulo 'yan pagmalaman niya Milk."

"Di ako papayag na guguluhin niya pa ang magulang ko Lucard!"

"Dinig ko wala siya dito, mag-ingat kayo lagi. I know Lu can afford to protect you. Pero huwag kayong pakampante, especially since they're enemies. We don't know what's going on in his head."

I got nervous from what he said. I know how bad that person is. I can't even consider him my father.

Our conversation was cut short when Milo called us. We stood up and went over to him. May nakita daw siyang uod na caterpillar daw ang tawag ng iba, tinuro niya sa amin ito at tuwang-tuwa siya. Pero ako hate ko ang mga ganun.

"Papa, so cute right?"

"Yeah... Milk, cute daw?"

"Ano ba 'yan! Hali kana, huwag na 'yan baby pawis kana o'. Manang, pakibitbit nalang ng tray sa loob, salamat."

"Takot mama mo diyan, baby." sabat naman ni Lucard nang naglakad kami at nasa gitna namin si Milo na nakahawak sa magkabilang kamay sa amin.

"Why po? Mukhang mabait naman."
Napakunot noo nalang ako sa sinabi ng anak ko. Ba't niya nalaman na mukhang mabait? Habang naglalakad kami papasok ay bigla nalang napasigaw si Milo.

"Daddy!"

Napatingin ako kung saan siya tumakbo, ganun nalang ang kaba ko nang makita siyang madilim ang mukha habang nakatitig kay Lucard.

"Dad, I saw a silkworm right there. Mama and papa went to look at it."

He just nodded at Milo and looked like he was digging into my stomach.

"Baby, I'm going. I'll visit you another day."

"You're going home, papa? Take care."

He went over here and kissed Lucard's cheek.

"Thank you... You too, baby. Milk, I'm going first."
I nodded at him, and I couldn't say anything more.

I felt his gaze burning into me as he watched Lucard walk away. And he turned to me, ramdam ko ang galit sa mga titig niya kaya nagsimula na akong kabahan. Basta nalang niya ako tinalikuran kasama si Milo. Di ko alam ang gagawin ko kaya sinundan ko sila.
