Magmahal Muli (COMPLETED)

Chapter Twenty-three

Evening came, and his father's affair will arrive soon.

Bailey never left her mother's side but eventually her mother asked him to fix himself.

"Sige na, anak. Kaya ko ng mag-isa." Sabi nito, breaking the hug. "Mag-ayos kana, darating na sila."

Bailey frown "Mom, okay lang sa'yo ito?" he ask.

Her mother looked at her with those sad eyes. "Anak, mahal ko ang Daddy mo. We promise each other na iintindihin namin ang bawat isa."

Bailey was shock to hear his Mom okay with this. Sino ba naman ang matutuwa kapag malaman mong niloko ka ng asawa mo. At para sakanya, wala lang iyon. Pag-ibig nga naman. He shook his head and stood up.

Padabog na lumabas si Bailey dala ang mapait na balita.

Tulad ng sabi ng kanyang ina, nagbihis ito para sa sinabing handaan. Tila napatitig siya ng matagal sa salamin pagkatapos ayusin ang kanyang collar.

May ibang pamilya ang Dad niya. Paano ito tatanggapin ng kanyang kapatid? Makikihati rin ang pamilya ng Dad niya sakanila? Mabait kaya sila?

Bailey gave a heavy sigh and left his room.

Pagkalabas nito, Maya was standing, leaning on the wall while her arms were crossed. "So." She paused. "May ibang pamilya si Dad." It was not a question. Just a statement with bitterness.

She was still wearing her school uniform. Kararating lang galing sa paaralan. Yun ay pumasok nga ba?

"That's not the reaction that I was expecting."

"What? You want me to go wild and shout 'Hey, my Dad has a mistress. Guess what? We're going to meet her with her son.' " Maya rolled her eyes. "Kuya, hindi na ako magugulat. Dad has been an asshole to Mom."

Bailey didn't like what he is seeing. Ayaw niyang magrebelde ang kapatid. Importante sakanya si Maya.

"Hey, stop saying that. Ayokong maging ganyan ka. Mom raised you as a fine kid. At least have some manners." Kalmado niyang sinabi.

"Whatever Kuya. If I know, gigil na gigil kang suntukin si Dad."

"Maya." Bailey warned. "Go fix yourself."

Wala ng sinabi si Maya atsaka pumasok sa kwarto niya.

Habang pababa si Bailey, kita niya ang mga nakakalat na kasambahay.

He was disgusted. Importante bang tao ito? Mayaman din ba?

"Good, where's your Mom?" His Dad show up not knowing where he came. "Any minute darating na sila." He said glancing at his expensive watch.

Bailey mentally growled at his Dad's attitude. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi siya makapaniwala sa mga nangyayari. Mahirap para sakanya. He never imagine this kind of event to happen in his life.

Calming himself first, he answered his father, "Hindi pa siya tapos. Do you think she's excited to see your mistress para makababa kaagad."

His father gave him a glare and said, "Watch your mouth kid. Wala kang alam sa mga nangyayari. This is all for your own good."

He scoffed. "We never asked for it. Ni hindi mo kami tinanong kung ano ang gusto namin. Do you know why? Because you were nowhere to be found. Hindi ka namin makausap dahil masyado pala kayong abala sa kabit mo."

Bailey's voice was filled with anger. Sino ba naman ang hindi? Hindi na niya kilala ang taong nasa harap niya. As a kid, he admires his father's passion on his job but eventually it all faded. Napalayo ang loob nito ng siya'y lumaki.
