A LOVE THAT STARTED IN MY BOSS' OFFICE

CHAPTER 50

Yuseff's POV

"Clark! What is your problem? Inaaway mo ang mga pinsan mo. Ayaw mong kumain. Nagaglit ka kay Tita Patchie mo. Ayaw mong lumapit kay Lola. What's with you?"

"You all don't like me? Why bother?"

"Clark! Hindi totoo yan!"

"Really? Where are you then before coming here?? With your mistress?"

"She's not my mistress! Clark, she is my wife! Sya ang totoong asawa ko!"

"Then why in hell am I existing?? I shouldn't be here if my mom wasn't your wife!!"

"Clark, you listen. You listen please." Pagpapakalma ko sa bata.

"Son, I've loved your mother dearly. She was my everything. She was my world. But things happen. She married someone else while the two of us are still together. I don't know why. I was devastated. I almost give up on life. I lost almost everything because your mom left me broken."

For a 10 year-old kid, Clark is very bright. Yun nga lang, he needed to be guided properly. Masyado syang na spoil. Nasanay syang nakukuha ang lahat.

I combed his hair using my hand.

"When your mom came back, I already had a wife. We are having a good life. But she introduced you to me."

"So I'm the reason why you and your wife broke up?"

"Your mom asked me to choose. To leave my wife and have you by myside or have my wife with me but will never have a chance to father you."

"You choose me?"

"Yes. I choose you."

"Are you regretting now?"

"My only regret is I have let your mom decide for us. I should have fought for you while I stay with my wife."

"You should not have chosen me. You don't even love me."

"Oh son, I love you. Mahal kita Clark. Sorry kung hindi mo ramdam. Sorry anak. Sorry kasi si Daddy broken din nuon kaya hindi ko kayang ipakitang mahal na mahal kita. Mahal kita, mahal ko ang asawa ko pati ang kapatid mo."

"Mom said Yugi isn't your son."

"He is also my son. He is your brother."

"If you'll be together again, where would I be?"

"You can stay with us, your Tita Fere is a good woman. She will accept you. Just please don't hurt her."

"Do you love her?"

"I do."

It was not the talk I imagined but Clark was okay with it. I told him I'll bring him with me and he seemed to be okay with it. He even asked if it'll be fine to tag him along with me. Ofcourse, I asked my wife first. She was happy that Clark's okay with us.

Just when I was peacefully having coffee before I head back to my wife when I saw Faye. I am actually waiting for her para makauwi din muna sya kahit ngayong weekend lang. But I was surprised to see her crying.

"Faye."

"Kuya!!!!" She hugged me tight and cried on my shoulders.

Nagtaka ako. Why is she crying??

"Faye? Anong nangyari? Bakit ka naiyak? Sabihin mo kay Kuya?"

She cried more nung tinanong ko sya. Iyak na hindi tumatahan. Hindi ko alam kung ano o sino ang nagpaiyak sa kanya pero ramdam ko ang sakit nun.
