Accidental Baby

Chapter Forty One

COCO

"Tito Axel..." Adrenaline shot through me as Tito Axel held me by my shirt collar. Hindi ko na naramdaman ang sakit ng ulong kaninang naramdaman ko ng gisingin ako ni Anais. I felt as though all my blood went up to my head. Fuck hangover! This feeling was worse than the worst hangover I've had. It felt as though my heart dropped to the pit of my stomach. 

"Dad, please... bitawan mo si Coco. Nasa tamang edad na ako. I already know what I'm doing. Ginusto ko ang nangyari sa amin." She begged, clutching onto the blanket she had around her body.

"Tumahimik ka! Ginagawa niyo akong tanga! Ilang beses na kitang pinagsabihan!" He roared at his own daughter before his eyes went back to me. "At ikaw! Ano'ng akala mo sa anak ko? Your fucking whore? Kung noong una hindi kita napatay, ngayon tutuluyan na kita!"

"Dad, please no!" Anais jumped out of bed. She held the blanket over her body with one hand as she tried to pry Tito Axel's hands from me with the other. "Don't hurt him. Pareho namin ginusto 'to!"

"Tito, I'm sorry..." I sincerely apologized.

"Sorry? Paano pag na buntis ulit ang anak ko?" He shook me by the collar.

"I'm on the pill, Dad! Hindi ako mabubuntis!" She exclaimed. "Let Coco go..."

"Hindi pa rin yun sapat na rason para gawin niyo iyon." Tito Axel shouted. "Paulit-ulit mong dinungisan ang pagkababae ng anak ko!"

"Dad naman. Please, just let go home. I'm no longer a freaking virgin, okay? May anak na kami. Wala naman nawala sa akin!" Anais said, almost on the verge of tears.

His raised one hand and his fist was the last thing I saw before I tumbled down. Napaupo ako sa sahig sa lakas ng suntok at napahawak sa pisngi ko. Naramdaman ko ang pagtulo ng dugo sa gilid ng labi ko dahil tumama iyon sa ipin ko. I wiped off the blood.

"Daaaad!" Anais let out a shrilling scream before kneeling in front of me. She embraced me as if that would shield me from his father. She began to cry and sob. "Don't hurt him. Tama na, Dad!"

"It's okay. I'm okay." I said, rubbing her back soothingly.

"Sa tingin mo palalampasin ko 'to?" He sneered spitefully. "Hindi mo na ginalang ang anak ko. Binuntis mo na nga, ginagalaw mo pa. Ano? Magtitikiman kayo kung kailan niyo gusto?"

"Tito Axel, I'm so sorry..." Iyon lang ang tanging naisip kong sabihin ng mga oras na iyon.

"Sorry?" He let out a sarcastic chuckle. "Pag katapos mong anakan si Anais, sorry? After you just fucked her, sorry? Do not degrade my daughter's dignity as a woman. Panindigan mo ang anak ko! Fucking marry her!"

"D-dad..." Anais took a sharp inhale.

Suddenly it felt like the world had stopped spinning. It was so quiet and all I could hear was our breathings. Did I just hear what I thought I heard or was it my imagination? Was I in a dream?

"Ano? Tatahimik ka na lang d'yan?" He towered over me, shoving my shoulder. "Pakakasalan mo ba ang anak ko o hindi?"

"I... I will. Tito, pakakasalan ko si Anais." Kahit sa lahat ng simbahan.

"Mag-usap tayo." He kept a stoic face as he waited for me.

I gently pulled away from Anais hold and got up. She just looked at me and Tito Axel in a state of shock. Her mouth opened looking like she was about to say something but it closed again when no words came out. 

Tito Axel exited my room and I followed behind him. Si Dad ang sumalubong sa amin pagkalabas ng kwarto.

"What happened?" He asked and his brows furrowed when he saw me. Tumaas ang isang kamay ni Dad papunta sa gilid ng labi ko. My head flinched at his touch. "Bakit nagdudugo yang gilid ng labi mo? What did you do to my son, Atticus?"
