Chapter 53: what is love?

Kalev Stanislaski's Point of View

"Gusto ka niya makita, anak." My mom automatically said while approaching me. I stopped in front of my father's hospital room.

"But I don't want to see him." I said without bluffing but someone hissed behind my back. Geez, man. I forgot, there's a minion behind me. Ready to cut my neck if I turn my heels and started to walk away. My woman is really feisty. Feisty as fuck but hot as hell. I know she's behaving like that because of her hormones. Either way, I love everything about her. Yumuko ako hanggang sa maabot ko ang mukha niya. Perks of being tall. Ako ang mag aadjust maabot ko lang ang minion na 'to. I'm calling her minion because she keeps on watching that movie while caressing her baby bump. How many times did she watch it. Five? Seven? I don't know. I lost count. To tell you the fact that she's wearing a jumper and a yellow shirt underneath. I face palmed.

"Calm down, my little minion. I'm going." Bulong ka sa tenga niya and I can literally feel her freeze from her position. I chuckled lightly. Ang bilis magtayuan ng balahibo niya. And my husky sound of my voice can easily aroused her. We're on the same boat.

Huminga ako ng malalim and put my hands to the doorknob but I stop.

I can't do this.

I thought I can but I don't. I hate him for treating my mother like that. He failed as a father. He failed as a husband. I act like it doesn't matter, but it does. He made me like this. Cruel, selfish, untamable son of a bitch. If for no other reason, I would never forgive him. Kung hindi lang sa babaeng nasa tabi ko, hindi ako pupunta dito.

"Ano ba Kalev Stanislaski? Bubuksan mo ba yang pinto o ako pa ang magbubukas para sa'yo?" An irritated voice said. I looked at her. When did she started being grumpy? That's at first. Maybe because she's been hanging with Tori lately. That girl always seeks for trouble. I tsk-ed. She grabbed my shoulders and pinned me to the nearest wall and even my mom is so shocked in the corner.

"Don't let your inner self defeat you, Kalev. You must face this now, kung hindi ngayon kelan mo pa ba babalakin? Alam kong natatakot ka, pero normal lang na maramdam mo 'yun. Because you're going to face your past. We all have the ability to feel. Stop pretending that everything is going okay kung in the first place wala kang gagawin para maging maayos ang lahat. Alam ko din na kapag makikita mo ang ama mo, it's like opening an old wound, but you need to control yourself. Try not to be impulsive. Think before you act. You are rational human being, Kalev. Just like what I've said. Talk to him first, before you decide if you're going to forgive him or not. Pero hindi mo naman kailangan matakot. Nandito ako sa'yo. I'm with you, I'm not going to leave you. That's a promise." She said while holding both of my hands. Squeezing it lightly.

Soothing me with her soft voice just like listening to a piano piece. My nerves calmed down. My organs that almost forgot it's place come back from it's original position.

"I'm going in, but you must come with me."

Marsh Lahm's Point of View

The presidential suite is huge. The room is awfully quiet with the smell of some chemicals. There's a man lying down on the bed. Fine looking handsome old man. Weak and debilitated. Ang daming makina na nakakabit sa kanya. Particularly sa may upper part.

He's old with white hairs yet intimidating. It's like I'm looking to the old version of Kalev.

Ang higpit higpit ng hawak ni Kalev at bawat labag pa sa kalooban niya ang bawat hakbamg niya papasok. Kung hindi lang talaga pumayag ang nanay niya ay hindi ako sasama sa loob. Because it's a family matter. Pero heto ako ngayon.
