Psycho's Mine

Chapter Twenty Nine

"Stay here. May pag-uusapan lang kami ng kapatid ko," bilin ni Keith sakin tapos ay umalis na kasabay ni Kate. Pumasok sila sa isang kwarto na gawa sa salamin at naiwan akong nakaupo sa sala kasama nung batang lalaki na hindi ko mapaniwalaang anak ni Kate. How would I know? Eh since that time in college wala na kaming pakialam sa isa't isa.

Tiningnan ko ang batang naglalaro sa gitna ng carpet with his Legos and puzzles. He seems so familiar and good about it, coz he keep on building anything with the Lego, looks like Kate raised an intelligent kid.

Medyo nagulat ako nang bigla itong lumingon sa pwesto ko at saka ako tinitigan. Nakakailang nga eh, kase feeling ko hinuhusgahan niya ako. Or kaya ay ngayon niya lang napansin na may ibang tao sa sala bukod sa kanya.

Nagtitigan kami nung bata, medyo malapit siya sa akin kaya malaya kong napagmamasdan ang pigura nito. His mat of almost blonde hair is cropped short, makinis din ang maputi nitong balat. Singkit ito, nagmana kay Kate pero kulay asul naman ang mga mata nito, electric blue to be exact. It's so vibrant! Na para bang nagliliwanag ito kahit umaga, siguro ay kahit sa dilim maaaninag mo pa rin ang mata niya. So beautiful...

I could see that halos namana nito ang Eurasian blood ng mga Nagasaki, pero hindi maipagkakaila ang genes na namana perhaps nito sa kanyang ama. From his almost blonde hair, eyes, and the complexion, he surely got it from his dad. Now I'm curious kung sino ang nakatuluyan ni Kate...

"Who are you?" tanong nito pagkakuwan. Those electric blue eyes bored into me as if seeing my very soul.

"I'm Wynter," I answered, "you're?" then returned the same question to him.

Pinagpatuloy nito ang pagbubuo ng pader, cause I think he's building a castle or a house, I really don't know. "My name is Nexxus Mondragon, I'm 6 years old!" sagot nito ng may pagkabulol. He couldn't pronounced his name correctly yet but it sounded so adorable kaya napangiti ako.

I cleared my throat, para kasing nagkabikig ang lalamunan ko as I stared at the little boy. I could already hear my biological clock ticking, yearning for a child to call my own. Then I frowned, if not for these crap I'm being stuck into, I'll gladly embraced motherhood with open arms. Marami pa akong dapat na iresolbang problema, starting with the people who wants to kill me.

"Are you with uncle Keith?" tanong nito and I chuckled. Imbes na Keith kase ang sinabi niya, it sounded a lot like Keef. What a cute child...

"Yes I am."

Nagliwanag ang mga mata nito at gumapang palapit sakin before sitting in front of me. Nakatingala ito ngayon and look so excited all of a sudden.

"Are you my auntie?" tanong nito with an innocent face. Muntik nakong masamid, though a part of me is celebrating with joy, may part naman na biglang nahiya. The heck...

"A-ahm..." di ko siya masagot. Well Keith told me that I'm his girlfriend, is that enough to be labeled as his aunt? Did Keith mean it anyway?

Tinitigan ko si Nexxus na nakatitig pa din sakin and gave him a sweet smile. Itataya ko talaga lahat ng meron ako to have a child too, swear.

"Are you my aunt?" tanong ulit nito na nagpangiwi sakin.

"I wish I am Nexxus..." sabay ginulo ang buhok nito, "I wish."

KATE's POV

"I don't want to do it Keith." I said with conviction habang magkatitigan kaming dalawa. No, we're actually glaring at each other and no one's backing down.

"You have to." Sabi niya din with all seriousness and underlying urgency. Napaangat ang kaliwang kilay ko na pina-laser hair removed ko pa para di ko na ahitin ng ahitin. I don't have time to always pluck my eye-brows pag tumubo na ulit, it's too time-consuming.
