Chapter 27

Papa

.

Meeting someone special that was away from you for a long period of time is very overwhelming. Mixed emotions will be felt, which cannot be explained merely through words, and maybe, that is what exactly Henrik is feeling right now as he face to face his own son.

"Can I bring him to our house? So that my family will know about him. They would love him for sure," Henrik said.

I smiled. Hiding some bitterness. But it seems like I can't hold my own bitterness.

"Ipapakilala mo siya? I thought it's better if we don't have a child? That's what you told me, right?" I told Henrik bitterly.

Homer's eyes widened a bit, his brows furrows and then stared his own cousin like he can't believe Henrik could say all those things.

I can see guilt on Henrik's eyes. Napayuko siya at napatingin sa anak niyang nasa kandungan na ni Khalil ngayon, dahil sa kagustuhan nito.

"I'm sorry. Ang gago ko. I'm s-sorry. Let's forget about it? Please, I just want to be a father to him. Please let me be, Jenan," pakiusap niyang pagsusumamo sa akin.

Tahimik lamang ako't hindi sumagot. I've already made my mind. Bibigyan ko siya ng karapatan sa anak niya. Pero aaminin ko, ang mga salitang binitiwan niya ay talagang nagpagulo sa isipan ko. Naisip ko pa na hindi na lang ipakilala sa kanya ang anak niya, but I realized, hindi ko maitatago panghabangbuhay ang bagay na iyon, dahil lalabas at lalabas din ang katutohanan.

"Did you know that because of your words ay mas gugustuhin pa ni Jenan na ilihim sa'yo ang lahat? How can you exactly be a father to Eurence, when you doesn't want a child with Jenan in the first place?" Khalil interrupted.

I looked at Khalil using my weary eyes like telling him not to say anything, to stop where he did stop, but I know him, I know he will not just shut his mouth especially when it's about me or Eurence. Homer just insulted me earlier and Khalil can't just sit here without voicing out his own opinion.

Nabanggit ko kay Khalil ang nangyari at kahit hindi ko man nasabi sa kanya ang tunay kong nadarama, alam kong alam niya nasaktan ako sa nasabi ni Henrik.

"Aaminin ko, talagang sinadya ko iyon dahil ayaw ko na may mag-uugnay pa sa aming dalawa at para na rin mapanatag ko ang loob ni Daniella. But when I saw my son using my naked eyes, I can't exactly explain what to feel. I even asked myself if he's indeed my son, my son to Jenan, and to tell you frankly, my inner side is wishing and hoping that he's mine, and indeed he's my child."

"Gusto kong suntukin ang sarili ko nang malaman ko na may anak na ako. I am very mad at myself, hindi dahil may anak ako kay Jenan kundi dahil pinagsisihan ko iyong sinabi ko," Henrik said all his drama sincerely.

His eyes were directed to me and sincerity is really in his eyes. No lies, just pure honesty.

"Jenan, forgive me p-please. Believe me, everything changes when I met him. I feel so happy. Sana naman hayaan mo akong maging ama sa kanya."
