All the Love, Atty.

Chapter 21- Jeron Lawrence

ELLA

Laura and I fought

She knew where I worked

Also nalaman din na andun si Jema

Nakita pa kami ni Jeron kanina

Pinuntahan ko naman siya sa room

And I saw him playing with his toys

I smiled and hugged him from the back

"Oh, hi dada" he said and humarap sa akin

"Hi, my love" I softly said

He held my chin, napa daing naman ako ng konti

Ang sakit kasi ng pagka sampal ni Laura

"Dada, are you okay po?" He asked

Tumango naman ako

"Dada's okay, baby. Do you want dada to help?" sagot ko

Napa ngiti siya at tsaka tumango

After our argument ay Lumabas si Laura ng bahay

"Jeron, anak" sambit ko

"Po, dada?" He said, looking at me

I smiled at tsaka umiiling

"I love you nak" I sais

"Labyu dada!" naka ngiting sagot niya

I just smiled and helped him cooking

Ipina dna test kona din kahapon si Jeron

Para malaman kung anak ko ba talaga siya or hindi

It's like i wasted my 6 years, tapos hindi ko pala anak si Jeron

i got a text from Alyssa saying na nasa kanya na yung dna test

"Baby, let's go visit your tita ly in her office" sambit ko

"Yey! tata ly" he exclaimed

Napa ngiti naman ako

I texted laura na pupuntahan ko lang si Alyssa kasama ang bata

Felt weird kanina pa kasi hindi din siya nag rereply

"Hi tata ly" Jeron greeted

Napa ngiti si Alyssa at tsaka hinalikan si Jeron sa pisngi

"E-ells" sambit niya

It feels like a bad news

Binigay niya kaagad yung envelope

Napa upo ako

"Baby, upo ka muna dyan ha? behave" Sambit ko

Tumango naman si Jeron

I opened the envelope

And Negative ang nakalagay sa results

So all this time

Hindi ko anak si Jeron?

6 years

6 years ang nilaan ko sa hindi ko naman kadugo

I was about to call laura nang tumawag naman siya

I quickly answered the call

"Hello?lau..."
[Hello po is this atty. De Jesus?]
"H-huh?w-who's this?"
[Uhm from st lukes emergency room po. Ms. Laura got into an accident. And ikaw ang kanyang Emergency contact]
"Okay, I'll go Thank you"

I quickly ended the call

"E-ella, bakit?" takang tanong niya

"L-ly, si L-lau... P-pwedeng dito muna  si Jeron? K-kailangan ko lang p-puntahan si Lau" sambit ko

Tumango naman siya

Nilapitan ko muna si Jeron

"Baby, dada will be back ha?I love you nak" I softly said and kissed his forehead

"Where are you going po dada?"he asked

"I'll go to your mommy,okay? I'll be back anak I promise" I said

Napa ngiti naman siya

Mabilis akong naka dating sa st lukes

"N-nurse, nasaan po si L-laura...L-laura Lehman" sambit ko

"I'm sorry po, but dead on arrival po si Ms. Lehman pag dating dito " sagot ng nurse

Nanlumo naman ako sa narinig ko

No

Paano na si Jeron?

Inasikaso ko yung mga papers ni Laura

I told tita and tito, and they're devastated

Galit nanaman si Dad sakin

Galit naman na talaga yun

Simula nung nalaman niya yung tungkol samin kay Laura

Maybe I'll throw this away

Kawawa naman si Jeron

He lost his mommy

I dont want him to be alone

I told alyssa na I uwi nalang si Jeron sa bahay

Pumunta muna ako sa company ng mga De Guzman's

Kinuha ko muna yung gamit ko

"Uwi ka na atty?" Kyla asked

She's with Jema pa

Tumango naman ako

"I should get going, Have a good day Architect Galanza, Architect Atienza" tipid akong ngumiti bago tuluyang naglakad papalayo

Pag uwi ko, tahimik ang bahay kaya dumiretso na ako sa kwarto ni Jeron

"Jeron" I called

He's watching tv

I heaved a sigh at tsaka lumapit sakanya

"Jeron Lawrence" I called again

Napa tingin naman siya sakin

His eyes, mukhang kaka galing lang sa pag iyak

Baka alam na niya

I hugged him tight

Doon naman siya tuluyang umiyak

"M-mommy" he sobbed

"Dada's here my love... hindi ka iiwan ni dada hmm? I'm here, anak" I softly said

Pina kalma ko naman siya hanggang sa pareho na kaming naka tulog

I woke up and realized na naka yakap si Jeron sakin

I smiled and kissed his forehead

Biglang pumasok si Mommy

"m-mommy" sambit ko

Niyakap niya naman ako

"It's okay, andito naman kami ng daddy mo" she softly said

Tumango ako at kumawala sa yakap

Tinignan niya naman si Jeron

"Kawawa ang Jeron Lawrence ko, Kahapon iyak yan ng iyak" sambit niya

I heaved a sigh

"He loves his mommy so much" sambit ko

"Ay anak by the way, Dito daw igaganap yung wake ni laura, Papunta na sila tita at tito mo" sabi ni mom

Tumango naman ako

"Mom, I have to go. Kayo na po muna bahala sa kanya" I said and kissed her cheeks
