Yung Hunk sa Mang Donald's #B5

16 Tatlong Papel

Mike's POV

Natatakpan ni Kennie ang bagong dating na bisita.

Pero nakita ko ang pagkagulat sa mukha ni Gerry at ilang staff ng MonKho na naroon sa sala.

Then Gerry looked at me.

I immediately got what he meant in that two seconds warning look. My heart started racing.

The thing I wanted Kennie to talk to me about since that day at the mall, but she kept her mum.

And finally, I got to know his name from her mouth.

"W-william," she said, stuttering.

Fuck!

Not a good timing.

Yes, I wanted to meet the guy and find out the truth. But now is not the right moment.

Kanina pa ako nabubwisit sa presensya ni Mar Belmonte, and now this?

"Who's the visitor?" si Mommy, with Dad just behind me.

Kinarga ko agad si Gelo dahil nagtatalo ang loob ko kung dapat bang naririto ang bata o ipapasok ko sa loob.

But there's no time!

And it will make the celebrant confused kung bigla ko siyang ipapapasok sa kuwarto.

"Roqueña..."

Kennie stepped back when he called her name so the guy came to my view.

Then I heard my mother gasped. She saw him, too, and was first to react.

And I was stunned myself.

Our resemblance is so evident, from nose up, except for the hair because his is curlier than mine. And also, he looks a bit older than I am. Marahil ay may aura ito na parang stressed at aburido.

"P-please... wag..." bulong ni Kennie.

S'ya ang tatay ni Gelo?

Suddenly, I didn't understand the fear that enveloped my heart, and ... jealousy?

My eyes went to his left hand holding a brown envelop and a paper bag with a gift inside. But what he's holding weren't the things which caught my attention.

It's the wedding ring he's wearing!

What the fuck?!

Kaya ba... kaya ba umiiwas si Kennie?

"...gusto kong makita ang anak ko."

S'ya ang tatay ni Gelo! And he is fucking married!

Kitang-kita ko ang panginginig ng mga kamay ni Kennie na nasa tagiliran n'ya.

I stepped beside her and wrapped one of my arm around her shoulder tight as I carry Gelo on the other.

I ignored how this William guy's eyes widened seeing me and the boy he's looking for.

"Sweetheart, kaibigan mo?" kaswal kong tanong kay Kennie.

Marahas na napatingin sa akin ang babae. Hindi ko pinansin ang magkahalong tensyon at pagkabigla n'ya.

"M-mike..."

I gave her the look not to utter another word.

I don't know if she understood it or she was really out of words to what's happening, because she shut her mouth.

She was just looking at me baffled.

Just like everyone else na alam na walang kami talagang ugnayan ni Kennie, lalo na at hinalikan ko ang babae sa noo then said to the guy, "You look familiar."
