"Okay sayong umuwi tayo?" tanong ko kay CJ. "Pano kung ayaw ko?" tanong nya.Aish, this guy.
"Oh edi wag kang sumama." sabi ko at pinagpatuloy mag impake. "And let that jerk hurt my wife? Not a chance."
"Wife ka dyan?" tanong ko. "Bakit aangal ka pa ba? Gusto mo bang kunin ko si Brooke ah?"
"Talagang iba black mail mo pa ko." sabi ko at nagkunot ng noo. "Kung Sa pangba block mail ko sayo, makukuha kita ng buo at hindi ako iiwan. Kung yun lang ang paraan."
"You're crazy." napailing ako.
"Crazy in love with you." tuloy naman nya. "Where is these lines coming from?"
"From my heart, duh." ngiti nya. "God, you make me cringe." tawa ko.
"Is that only what I can do to you?" he smirked. "Nakalimutan mo ata ang mga ginawa ko sayo."
Hinampas ko sya ng bag, "Damn you, shut up." nahihiya kong Sabi. Then biglang kumatok si Leb at Brooke."
"Mommy! Babalik na ba tayo kela daddy?" tanong ni Brooke. "Not you, Daddy CJ, my other daddy. Diba you know him already."
CJ smiled at binuhat si Brooke.."Yes I know him." sabi nya. "I'm confused, why do I have 2 daddys? Yung classmates ko naman they only have 1."
CJ just kissed his forehead. "There are things na hindi mo Maiintindihan sa ngayon, anak. But I want you to know that your mom and I loves you so much." he touchingly said.
Napangiti ako, "You should get ready na, Brooke. We have to go back na." sabi ko at pinapunta si Brooke sa banyo. Alam na kasi nyang Mag tooth brush at magbihis.
"You shouldn't have confused my niece." sabi ni kuya Luke na nasa pintuan.
"Maraming nangyari for the past few days. May balak nang magdemanda ang pamilya ni Richard dahil daw kinuha mo ang apo nila." sabi nya.
"Pero hindi nila apo si Brooke, she's my child."
"That's what Ana said to them, At Kung ide demanda nyo sya, kaya nyang lusutan yun dahil sa fact na anak mo si Brooke sa ibang lalaki."
"Are you actually with them, kuya?" tanong ko. "Do you want me to live with that bastard?"
"That's not what I'm saying, Ana. I just want you to be aware na maraming pwedeng mangyari sa pagbalik nyo. Lalo na si Brooke na ang pinaniniwalaang tatay ay si Richard."
Dumating na kami sa Manila and we're on our way to the hospital. "Why are we here?"
"Lolo's sick, anak. We have to see him." sabi ko. Pa akyat na kami sa room nya. Brooke immediately ran to her lolo..
"Lolo, what happened?" tanong nya. "Lolo's fine, apo. Kiss mo nalang si lolo para mawala yung sakit ko." sabi ni dad sabay turo sa pisngi.
Si Brooke naman pinag hahalikan ang buong mukha ng lolo nya. Silly thing, I don't think I ever saw my dad like that."Mom." sabi ko at nakipag beso. "What happened?" tanong naming dalawa. Napangiti nalang ako.
Lumabas kami sandaling apat nila CJ, kuya at mommy. "What did Richard do to you?"
"Nothing mommy. Hindi na importante yun. What happened while I was gone?"
"Richards parents are so mad. Ang alam parin kasi nila anak ni Richard si Brooke. Richard didn't tell them."
"But he told you?"tanong ni CJ. "That idiot."
"No, he didn't." sabi ni Mom. Nagtataka kaming dalawa ni CJ. "We knew since nagkasakit si Brooke 3 years ago."
"What?" gulat naming tanong.
Gosh, I can't believe this. "Anak, marami pang explanation dyan. Ang daddy mo nalang ang mag e explain dahil Sya lahat ang nagplano nyan."
Papasok na kami nung nakita ko si Brooke papalabas. "Mommy! Lolo's not answering me! I think he's sleeping."
Tumakbo ako agad papasok sa room and nakita ako ang screen as gilid nya. He's almost in flat line.
"Daddy! Oh my god, dad!" sigaw ko. He wasn't answering.Dumating ang mga nurse at Kinuha si daddy. They were reviving him. "Mommy, anong nangyayari?" tanong ni Brooke. CJ took Brooke for a while para hindi makita ang nangyari.
He was revived pero comatose. My father is at chance na hindi na magising. "Ana." she handed the phone in my hand. "That was a month ago."
"I decided to record myself kung sakaling hindi ako umabot or hindi ko kayang sabihin sayo harapan. Nakita ko ang mga papers ni Brooke 3 years ago and something seems off. Specially, 8 months after nyo magpakasal, nanganak ka na pero hindi naman pre mature. Nagpa DNA test kami sakanilang dalawa and nalaman na hindi nya anak si Brooke."
CJ and I were very speechless. I've been played again. "Alam naman namin ng mom mo na si CJ ang tatay ni Brooke dahil Sya lang naman ang minahal mo pagkatapos dun sa kinabaliwan mong ex."
"I was very sorry. I'm very sorry. I'm still sorry if I had to push the wedding kahit alam kong masaya ka kay CJ. I didn't know na nagseryoso ka sakanya at akala ko isa lang Sya sa laro mo. But I found out na talagang mahal mo sya."
"Sinadya kong i contact sya papunta dito at sinadya kong malayo dito sa Manila. Sinadya ko rin na ilagay ang school Malapit Kung saan kayo nagkakilala. I hoped for this day to come at sinabi ko na kay Luke na wag ka ng istorbohin dahil masaya na kayo ng pamilya mo. At least dun man lang you can feel the love of a family na hindi ko naiparamdam sayo."
His voice cracked kaya naluha narin ako. We were listening to it habang nasa tapat ni daddy.
"Ayokong magaya kayo sa buhay ko nung bata ako kaya nagsumikap ako para mabuhay ko kayo. I did everything para lang masustentuhan kayo. Wala akong ibang nagawa kundi ipagkasundo ka kay Richard because I was scared. Hindi ko matanggap na wala akong mapapakain sainyo ni Lauren at Luke. I'm sorry if I used you on this, anak. I'm very sorry."
I hugged him while crying. The man I didn't care for is very sorry. "Dad, I'm sorry for hating you. Sana hinayaan nalang kitang magpaliwanag. Daddy, gumising ka na please."
