His And Her Circumstances (To Be Edited)

Daughter

Daughter

Seymour's POV

I guess I'm really a sick bastard. I really love her, the kind of love that I am even willing to exchange my life for her.

Napasabunot ako sa buhok nang maalalang nakita ko siyang bumaba mula sa sasakyan ni Nathaniel. Fuck. I want to strangle her and kiss her at the same time. To show Nathaniel that Marionette is fucking mine. Will forever be mine.

"Ynette." I breathed out her name. "Fuck! It hurts."

Whenever I thought about them together and what might have they done in those past two years, my heart could not be restrained and uncotrollably gave violent contraction. It was so fucking painful.

An unstoppable pain.

"Fuck." I bit out and angrily swiped the things on top of my desk. It landed on the floor with a clutter.

My head jerked when I heard the door in my office opened. Lalo pang umigting ang panga ko nang makita ko kung sino ang pumasok. It was Sy Nathaniel Ichiwara.

"What are you doing here?!" I shouted.

Nathaniel just smirked and approached my desk. Bumaba ang tingin niya doon sa mga gamit, papeles at kung anu-ano pang nakakalat sa sahig. Then he whistled.

"Such a temperamental guy."

"What the fuck are you doing here?"

He chuckled and raised his hand as if he was caught stealing a cookie in a jar. "Woah, buddy. Kompanya ko rin ito at vice president ako, so may karapatan pa rin akong pumunta dito."

My eyes narrowed. "I don't have time to a piece of shit."

He quirked his eyebrow. "You mean, yourself?"

"FUCK. OFF."

He chuckled again. "Kaya pala ako nandito kasi tinawagan ako ng mama mo." Hindi ko siya pinansin, tumalungko ako at nagsimulang ayusin ang mga nakakalat sa sahig. "Ilang araw mo na daw kinukulong si Ynette sa kwarto niyo, ni hindi man lang daw nito nakikita ang sariling anak."

Saglit akong natigil sa pag-aayos, pero pinagpatuloy na ulit nang hindi siya pinapansin.

"Man, Yana is the only treasure she have."

I tightened my grasp on the documents, almost crampling it. Yana is the only treasure she have. She have of whom? She have of what? She have of him? Fuck Nathaniel.

He sighed. "Alam mo ba kung anong buong pangalan ni Yana?"

"Hindi ako interesado." Walang emosyong sagot ko.

He chuckled. "Why?"

"Just because."

"Man," He breathed, voice full of amusement. "Want me to tell you her real name?"

"Fuck off." I said as I put the papers back on the desk and sat down the swivel chair. "I'm not fucking interested."

"Oh! But you will be." I glared back at him, he just smirked. "Her whole name is—"

"I said—"

"—is Morgiana Cosias Montecillo."

"I'm not inte—WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY?!" I looked up at him incredulously.

I think I heard something wrong.

Ngumisi siya. "I thought you are not interested?"

"Just fucking tell me what you said!"

"Her real name is Morgiana Cosias Montecillo."

"What the fuck?!" I all but exploded. I stood on my feet and gave him a punch on his face. Natumba siya sa sahig at napahawak sa pisngi.

"Shit!"

"Don't you fucking shit on me! Why would you name your own kid Morgiana Cosias Montecillo?!"

Tumingin siya sa'kin na parang nababaliw atsaka biglang bumunghalit ng tawa. Gumulong pa siya sa sahig habang sapo ang kaniyang t'yan. When he stopped laughing, he stood and wiped the tear stains on the corner of his eyes.

"You thought Yana is my daughter? That's hilarious!"

I stiffened. "You mean, Yana is not your daughter?"

"Obviously. Wala naman kasing nangyari sa'min ni Ynette dahil tinatrato ko lamang siyang kapatid."

"Fuck!" Napahilamos ako sa mukha. "Fuck! I don't believe this."

"Then don't." Nagkibit balikat siya pagkatapos ay dumiretso sa pintuan at bago siya lumabas ay nagsalita siya. "Why don't you take a DNA test?"

Nanghihinang napaupo ako sa swivel chair. Bullshit. His words are bullshit.

Pagkauwi ko ay hinanap ko agad ang bata. Buhat siya ni Mama at umiiyak. Nagsalubong agad mga kilay ko.

"Bakit umiiyak?"

Isang nakamamatay na tingin ang pinukol sa'kin ni Mama na para bang sinasabing kasalanan ko. Inabot niya sa'kin ang bata kaya bigla itong tumahimik.

Namimilog ang mga mata nitong nakatingin sa'kin. Sa ilang buwang pamamalagi nila dito sa bahay ay ngayon ko pa lamang siya nabuhat.

Damn! I have to fucking swallowed hard just not to cry. And why would I cry?!

Hindi ko rin alam. Nagbabara ang lalamunan ko habang magkatitigan kaming dalawa ni Yana. She resembles Ynette a lot kaya hindi ko man lang naisip na anak ko siya. Anak ko ba talaga?

"Ma?" Tumingin ako kay Mama, hindi ko kasi alam ang gagawin ko. Pati ang gagawin ko sa aming dalawa ni Ynette.

My mother blew out a sigh through her lips. "Take care of your daughter, Seymour."

"I will."

"And say sorry to your wife. Hindi ko alam kung anong problema niyo pero hindi tamang kinukulong mo siya." Umiling siya. "You have to clear the misunderstanding. Second, you should let her see her daughter." Tinapik niya ako sa balikat bago umalis.

Naiwan akong nakatayo doon habang buhat ang tahimik na si Yana. Maya maya pa'y sumakay ako sa sasakyan ko at dinala siya sa hospital. Nagpakuha ako ng DNA test naming dalawa upang mas makasiguro ako.

Dahil kung anak ko nga talaga siya, bakit kailangang itago pa ni Ynette ito? Porket ba magkapatid kami? But I have the fucking rights to know about my daughter too.
