The Boys' Princess

Chapter 3

Serina's POV

Pagkalabas ko ng bathroom ay agad na bumukas ang pinto ng kwarto ko. May iniluwal itong malaking lalaki na naglakad patungo sa akin. Agad niya akong hinablot at niyakap ng napakahigpit.

"I missed you so much, Serina." His deep and husky voice made my heart pumps so fast.

I was shocked at the moment and I can't even move. I just stood still and let him hugged me.

He isn't one of my brothers, probably, he is my biological father.

He is in his formal attire. I think he just came home and went toward my room to see me.

It was a bit uncomfortable but I also like him hugging me. My biological father is hugging me.

Nakaramdam ako ng pagkurot sa puso ko na tila ba ang sakit lang. Bumigat din ang dibdib ko. Nararamdaman ko rin na gusto ng bumagsak ng mga luha ko. I tried to hold it back but I failed. It fell down. Sinubukan kong wag gumawa ng ingay kahit na sobrang sakit na ng lalamunan ko at gusto ko ng humagulgol.

Kakalas na sana siya sa yakap niya sa akin ngunit hinila ko siya pabalik at niyakap siya ng napakahigpit. At ngayon ay hindi ko na napigilang humagulgol.

Gusto kong sabihin sa kaniya na na-miss ko rin siya kahit na ni minsan ay hindi ko naalala ang mukha niya. Gusto kong magsalita. But my voice was cracking up.

I was crying loudly like someone took a child's candy.

"You're still a cry baby." He said.

"D-dad?"

"Yes, baby?"

"A-are you...?" Sa iyak ko ay hindi ko man lang magawang tapusin ang sinasabi ko.

"Of course, baby. You inherited your looks from me." He jokingly said.

"Don't cry na, hm? I'm now here."

His words made me calm. Kumalas ako sa yakap namin at pinunasan ang mga luha ko. Tinitigan ko rin siya habang ginagawa ito.

Nakaupo kami sa kama ko at nagpakuha siya ng tubig kila Johan. Napatulala ako at iniisip kung anong ginawa ko.

My father was staring at me like he was memorizing every single detail in my face.

"You're so beautiful, baby." He said.

I didn't respond.

I still didn't came to my senses. I can't think at this time. My emotions were controlling me. I messed up and cried like a lost child in front of my father. I once gave a thought about this. I thought that I won't be reacting so much once I saw my biological father but the opposite happened. I over reacted and showed my longing for him.

Inabot niya sa akin yung tubig at ininom ko naman ito kaagad.

"How are you?" He asked.

Tinignan ko siya. He is smiling very sweetly. Napakabinata niyang tignan. Malinis ang pagkaka-shave sa balbas niya. Maayos din ang gupit at buhok niya. Katulad ng sa mga kapatid ko, he has thick brows and lashes. Pareho rin sila ng mga mata at hugis ng mukha. They inherited it in our own father who also has that manly look.

"You got your mother's eyes."

Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya at naalala ko si mommy. Then, everything sank into my mind. I remembered what my mother told me when she said that this man sitting in front of me, cheated on her and made her terrible.

"Your biological father cheated on me and it made me terrible. That's why we divorced and a year after, I met Timothy, your step dad."

Bigla akong nakaramdam ng inis sa taong nasa harapan ko ngayon. He hurt my mom but he still has the courage to tell me that I got my mom's eyes?
