The Billionaire's Ex-Girlfriend (Billionaire Series #1)

CHAPTER 13:AMBUSH

[After 6 years]

FAITH EVANS

"Mommy, why are we packing our things?" tanong ni Hael sa akin habang inialagay ko ang mga damit namin sa maleta kaya huminto muna ako at hinarap siya.

"We're going to the Philippines, Tito Devion needs to do something and so as mommy," malabing kong sagot sa kaya at muling nagpatuloy sa paglalagay ng mga damit.

"Hello, kuya?" bungad ko nang masagot ko ang tawag.

["Hello, bunso, sorry I can't pick you up today, nagkaroon kasi kami ng urgent meeting with Mister Park,"] sabi nito sa akin. ["But I will tell Archie na sunduin kayo sa airport."]

"It's okay, kuya, hihintayin na lang namin siya sa tapat ng airport," sagot ko at ibinaba ang cellphone ko.

"Hael! Zachariah! Alliannah! Let's go na," I called my kids.

"Mommy, can we buy toys first?" tanong ni Alliannah habang bumababa sa hagdan.

"We will buy toys when we arrive in the Philippines, okay?" I said and poke her cheecks.

"But, mommy," angal niya at saka ngumuso.

"Don't be naughty," saway ko kaya hindi na ito umimik. "Where's Zachariah?"

"He is still on his room," the cute voice of my little Hael answered so I looked up.

"Wait for me here, I'll just call your brother," I said and went upstairs.

"Zachariah, let's go na, baby, we will be late," I said as I open his door.

"Mommy, I don't want to go, can we cancel our flight?" he asked while he's holding his blanket wraped around his body.

Dahan-dahan akong lumakad at umupo sa gilid ng kaniyang higaan bago magsalita. "Baby, we can't cancel our flight, mommy has work in the Philippines and we do promise Tita Rose, Tita Mariane, and Tito Arrone that we will meet them tomorrow."

"But, mommy, I don't have a good feeling about going to the Philippines," he said and pout.

"Baby, everything will be okay," I assured and hug him. "Let's go na, we will be late."

KHYEL QUEMATON

"Hello, Detective Leander?" bungad ko nang masagot ko ang tawag. "Update about?"

["We found out that Miss Faith is now going back here in the Philippines with her kids,"] sabi nito sa akin kaya agad akong napatayo, I lowered the volume of my phone to prevent my parents from hearing my conversation with my private detective.

"Correction, our kids," buong diin kong pagtatama sa sinabi niya.

"Where are they now?" tanong ko ulit dito.

["They are currently on Shinaiah International Airport in Chicago,"] sagot nito at mula sa cellphone ko ay rinig ko ang pagtunog ng keyboard mula sa laptop niya.

"Mga anong oras ang dating nila?" Tanong ko ulit.

["They will arrive at exactly 1:50 am,"] sagot nito.

"Okay, thank you for the information, detective," sabi ko dito at agad na kinuha ang coat at susi ng kotse ko.

Honestly, I'm clueless, simula noong dinala ako ni Devion sa hospital 6 years ago ay wala na akong narinig na balita tungkol kila Faith at sa mga anak namin that's why I tried to reach Detective Leander again pero kahit siya ay walang mahanap na data tungkol sa kanila.

I went directly to the toy shop and buy every single toys they have. I want my kids to know how much I love them. After ko sa toy shop ay nagpunta naman ako sa pawn shop to find a perfect necklace for Faith and an engagement ring for her. Hindi ko man alam kung galit siya sa akin dahil sa mga sinabi ko sa kaniya noon. Bumili na rin ako ng iba't ibang damit for them and also every single clothes for a six years old kid. Sobrang busy ko buong araw sa paghahanda sa pagbabalik nila, hindi na rin muna ako nagpunta sa opisina dahil maghapon akong paikot-ikot sa iba't ibang mall at dinala lahat ng pinamili ko sa bahay na ipinatayo ko para kapag nabuo na ulit kami ay doon na kami titira.

"Hello, Cendrix! Bakit napatawag ka?" tanong ko sa tauhan ko nang masagot ko ang tawag niya.

It's already 1:45 in the midnight and I'm currently on my way to the airport para sunduin ang mag-iina ko kahit wala pa akong tulog. Nilinisan ko kasi ang buong bahay after kong mamili ng mga gamit sa kusina at mga furnitures.

["B-boss, bad news,"] sagot nito sa akin. ["Naunahan tayo ng mommy mo, we're now on our way to Claveria Hospital---"]

Hindi ko na pinatapos ang sasabihin ng tauhan ko at agad na iniba ang direction ng aking sasakyan. I drove my car in full speed on my way sa to the hospital.

What the f*ck is wrong with my family?! Pati mga anak ko dinadamay nila!

Agad akong nagpunta sa nurse na nasa lobby para hanapin ang kwarto nila.

"Miss Faith Evans is now on emergency room, while Miss Alliannah Zelene Quematon, Mister Hael Angelo Quematon, and Mister Zachariah Kyel Quematon are currently on the operating room," sabi nito.

"Thank you" I said in response at agad na tumakbo papunta sa operating room at emergency room.

After almost an hour ay may lumabas nang doctor mula sa operating room kaya agad akong tumyo.

"Ikaw ba ang kamag-anak ng mga pasyente?" tanong nito sa akin.

"Yes, I am their father," sagot ko agad.

"They are now I good condition but we still need a blood donor dahil a amount ng dugong nawala sa tatlong bata," pag-amin nito.

"What are their blood types?" halos mapapikit ako dahil sa tinanong ko.

I am their father but I know nothing about them.

"AB positive, which is sobrang hirap hanapin but we still have two bags of AB positive blood type pero it's not enough for three people," sagot nito.

I am AB positive, pwede akong magdonate, my blood is safe since it's almost a year since I last take an alcoholic drink.

"I can donate, matagal na akong hindi ng-iinom at wala akong sakit, pwede n'yo na akong kuhanan ng dugo ngayon," prisinta ko.

"Ipapatawag na lang namin kayo mamayang eight am, mister," sabi ng doctor. "Mauna na po muna ako."

Maya-maya pa ay magkakasabay na inilabas ang mag-iina ko sakay ng higaan nila dahil i-ta-transfer na sila sa iisang recovery room.
