Unmatched (TRF #6)

Prologue

"May pupuntahan ka ba today?" Tanong ni Des sa'kin.

Napaisip naman ako. "Wala. Sabay naman na matatapos shift natin ngayon 'di ba?" Sabi ko naman.

Tumango siya. "Punta tayo kay Aydi." She said and I frowned.

"Pupunta talaga ako. Tsaka sino na naman pupuntahan mo doon?" Tanong ko sakaniya.

Agad naman siyang umiling. "Gago, wala. Si Aydien lang talaga." Sabi niya.

I shrugged and nodded. "Okay." I replied.

"Bakit ka pupunta doon? Papagawa ka ng bahay?" She asked.

I frowned. "Na sakaniya si Canary e " I told her.

"Miss ko na ang bebe Canary. Ilang araw ko na ring hindi nakikita." She said pouting.

"Makikita mo naman mamaya. Sabay naman tayong pupunta doon." I said.

She pouted. "Akin na muna. Isang araw lang. Day off ko bukas." Nakangiting sabi niya.

Agad namang sumama ang timpla ng mukha ko. "Kapal naman neto." Kako.

Tumawa naman siya. "Sige na. Nandoon naman si Ian. She loves Ian." Pilit niya sa akin.

"Tigilan mo ako, Desiree." I dismissed her.

She frowned. "Ang KJ talaga neto. Minsan ko na nga lang makakasama inaanak ko tapos ayaw mo pa ibigay sa akin ng isang araw. Wala kang off bukas kaya akin na muna siya. Ako ang mag-aalaga sakaniya." She offered.

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako. She won't give up unless I give in. Canary also mentioned that she's missing her ninang Desiree. Bahala na nga.

I nodded and she hugged me. "I'll take good care of her. Promises." She said smiling.

"Hey. I'm here to pick Canary up." I told Aydien as soon as I entered her office.

Canary ran to me and when she saw her ninang Desiree behind me, she immediately withdrew from the hug and hugged Desiree instead.

"Ninang! I missed you po!" She happily said.

Desiree grinned and picked her up. "Na-miss din kita bebe." She pinched her cheeks. "Do you want to play with Ian?" She asked.

I just sighed and sat on the visitor's chair. I heard Aydien laugh. "Nasa pedia ba talaga iyan?" Turo niya kay Desiree. "Kung maka-asta parang first time makakita ng bata e." Dagdag niya na nagpatawa rin sa akin.

A guy suddenly entered Aydien's office and covered Canary's eyes. I just rolled my eyes and sat comfortably on the chair.

"Guess who?" He softly said as Desiree just smiled and sat beside me.

Canary's lips formed a pout. "I don't wanna." Sabi niya na nagpangisi sa akin.

He let her go and frowned. "Ang KJ niyo naman both ng Mommy mo." He said frowning.

I just laughed when Canary's eyes widened. "Papa Triv!" She exclaimed and hugged Triveon by his neck.

He picked her up and sat on my other side. "Do you wanna go home with me, baby?" He asked.

Agad namang umangal si Desiree. "Hoy, berde! Ako ang mag-uuwi sa inaanak ko ngayon. Feeling 'to." Singhal niya kay Triveon.

Umirap naman si Triveon. "Ako ang papa. Ninang ka lang. In short, mas importante ako kesa sa'yo." Mayabang na sabi niya.

Umirap rin si Desiree. "Baby, kanino mo gusto sumama?" Tanong niya kay Canary.

"Nasa condo si Ian. Don't you wanna play with Ian?" She bribed.
