Playful Kiss (PSbook2)

14.Victim

Minah's POV

"Drugs?"

I asked after kong malaman 'yung nangyari sa kanya. What makes him did like that?

Si Danica? Iniwan muna namin sa hospital, since kailangan muna daw niya ng bed rest sabi ng doctor.

"Maybe. I'm not sure, but I want you to believe me. Please."

He said habang hawak 'yung kamay ko.

"I believe in you." I simply said.

Medyo tumayo siya at niyakap ako after I said that, since nakaupo kaming dalawa.

I hugged him back.

"I love you." He whispered.

"I love you too...but.."

Kumalas siya sa pagkakayakap at tiningnan ako.

"But what?" He asked.

"Pa'no si Danica?" I asked. Medyo masakit pa rin sa'kin 'yung nangyari, but I chose to forgive Red dahil alam kong mas lalo lang akong masasaktan pag nilayuan ko siya.

I can feel naman na mahal niya talaga ko.

"Like what I have said, anak ko 'yung dinadala niya, kaya papanagutan ko 'yung anak namin, pero hanggang do'n nalang 'yon. Ikaw 'yung mahal ko. Hindi kita ipagpapalit sa kahit na sino."

I smile kahit medyo may kirot pa rin sa puso ko.

"So you will now be a daddy."

Ang sakit isipin 'yung bagay na 'yon. He will become a dad, but I'm not the mom. It's Danica. Kung iisipin parang mag kakaroon sila ng pamilya ni Danica.

"Sorry talaga." He said nang nakayuko.

*Phone rings*

May tumatawag kay Red.

"Hello?" He asked. Hindi ko marinig 'yung sa kabilang linya.

"Sino 'to."

"Okay po."

After niyang makipag usap sa phone tumingin siya sa'kin.

I looked at him with 'what' look.

"Danica's father." He said.
Hindi ko alam pero bigla akong kinabahan.

Kilala ko 'yung dad ni Danica. Shucks. Sobrang serious niya sa life. He's a lawyer.

"What did he said?" I asked.

"He said he wants to talk to me."

Nakakainis! Ba't pa kasi nangyayari 'to.

"I'll come with you." I said at tatayo na sana, pero pinigilan niya 'ko.

"No. Let me handle this." He said.

"But--"

"I'll be back. Okay? I love you." He said then he kiss me on my forehead.

That feeling. Ang sarap sa feeling when someone kiss you on your forehead.

Red's POV

"Look what you've done to my daughter!"

Untag ni Mr. Lee. Danica's father.
Pinapunta niya 'ko sa bahay nila.

"It's not my mistake." I defended myself.

"What the?! Binuntis mo 'yung anak ko and now you're telling it's not your fucking mistake?!"

"Hindi niyo alam 'yung buong nangyari." Mahinahon kong sagot.

"Wala 'kong pakielam sa buong nangyari. What I am concern about now is my daughter."
