Forgotten Memories☑️ [Completed]

13.We meet again...

Andrei Mondragon

We were already at home when suddenly I remember again the woman I meet today.I really can't believe it. Those eyes.. those eyes that first captured me.

It's been years since the last time I saw her. Yet she is still the same Faith that I know. I remember what Dad has told me, when I discovered that Faith has left.

And I already know what's the reason why she left. I loved her,but I was a coward.

I left her..
I was blinded..
I never stayed...
I never believed her..

She was raped.
She needed help..
She was lost..
So she left...

I almost killed Simon when I discover that he raped her.I really thought that they have a relationship.There were so many what ifs in my mind that time.

But it's too late...

After I left her,I went to Canada.I got drunk almost every night.That's the time I meet Zion's mom,Jane.She helped me recover.I decided to love her and forget about Faith.

Jane was already pregnant when Dad talk to me.They try to look for her everywhere.But she is nowhere to be find.

Not until now..
I don't know whether I would tell Dad about her.Or tell may fucking brother that I found her.

The way I look at her,she is happy now.She has a son already.Her fiancee is a doctor and the son of a well known surgeon in the states.A very wealthy man who happens to own the biggest hospital here in the Philippines.

She must be so lucky and contented. So I decided not to tell my family about her.

Simon must not know that I found her. I know he is still looking for her.
He even told me that he love her that's why he wanted to own her.

I might tell Dad,but not Simon.He can go to hell..

I was disconnected to what I was thinking when I heared my phone ring.

When I checked it, it's absolutely the last man I wanted to hear over the phone.

"What do you want?.." tanong ko sa kaniya.

"Hey,bro.I just wanted to borrow Zion.I might as well go to work in the next few weeks..May inaayos pa kasi ako..I just missed your son.."sabi niya at iyon lagi ang dahilan kapag napapatawag siya sa akin.

"Why not make your own son..You are getting older.But you can still have him tomorrow.He is already sleeping right now.Napagod sa birthday party nang best friend niya."sabi ko habang inaayos ang nakatabing na buhok sa mukha nang anak ko.

"You already know me.I am still waiting for her..But anyway thanks bro."sagot niya sa kabilang linya.

He is still into her.Siguro totoo nga ang sinabi niyang love at first sight ang naramdaman niya kay Faith.

But Faith is already happily engaged with a Gonzales.She is happy now but  Simon is still looking for her.

Mabuti sana kung walang ikukuwento ang anak ko sa kaniya.Napaka makuwento pa naman nang isang 'to.
Hindi man kami nagkatuluyan ni Faith.Our kids will be best friends forever.

Kinabukasan,maaga pang dumating ang lalaking giliw na giliw sa anak ko.My wife is still out of the country dahil sa work niya.Kung kaya kaming dalawa lang palagi ni Zion ang magkasama.

Tuwang tuwa naman ang anak ko nang malamang darating ang uncle niya.My son really like this man.Kahit pa nga hindi niya alam na makasalanan ang lalaking ito.

"Hey,kiddo..how are you?.." bati niya sa anak ko nang pumasok ito sa kitchen.

"Hi,uncle!" Tuwang tuwa naman si Zion at tumakbo papunta sa kapatid ko.

Kinarga naman niya ito at pinagkikiliti.Tawa nang tawa ang bata sa pinag gagagawa niya.

Maya maya pa ay naghahabulan na silang dalawa.Hanggang sa pareho silang napagod at nagyaya nang lumabas para mamasyal.

Nagulat ako sa sumunod na nangyari.
Bigla akong napalingon sa gawi ni Simon nang marinig ko ang kaniyang sinabi.

"Paano kaya kung nabuntis ko si Faith?..You will be of the same age.How I wish,I could find her right now.."sabi pa niya habang nakatingin sa anak ko.

He missed her.I know for sure.Kahit pa ayaw kong malaman niya kung nasaan si Faith.Para akong tinatamaan sa nakikita ko sa kaniya.

He never do relationships.Although I know he is always seen dating with different woman.Yet he never get serious with them.

But the way he looked at Faith's picture.I still remember the photo that he took from her.

Pinalakihan niya at nilagay sa kwarto niya sa bahay namin sa probinsiya.At kahit sa opisina niya,nanduon ang picture ni Faith.

Paano niya nasasabing she is the love of her life.Kung ayaw namang magpakita ni Faith sa kaniya.

Paano kapag nalaman niyang nasa iisang subdivision lang kami.

Paano kapag nalaman niyang may anak na ito at malapit nang ikasal.

Hindi ko na namalayan na nakaalis na silang dalawa ni Zion.

Paano nga kaya kung nabuntis si Faith?

Paano nga kaya kung si Vince ay anak nilang dalawa?

Paano kaya kung magkita silang dalawa ulit at agawin niya si Faith sa doctor na 'yon?

Marahil kinakailangan kung sabihan si dad..

Siguro alam niya kung ano ang tamang gagawin.

I dialled dad's number at kinausap ito.
Tuwang tuwa si dad nang malamang nakita ko na si Faith.But then nagulat siya nang malamang may anak na si Faith at malapit nang ikasal.

"I wanted to see her,son.." sabi ni dad sa akin.

" I don't know if she would be happy to see you,dad?Alam kong natatakot siyang malaman ni Simon na nakita ko na siya." Napabuntong hininga na lamang siya sa kabilang linya.

" Alam kong galit siya anak.Galit siya sa ginawa nang kapatid mo.Kaya gusto kong humingi nang tawad sa kaniya.Gusto kong bumawi sa kaniya.She has been the daughter that I've always wanted.."mahabang paliwanag ni dad sa akin.

" I know dad..I know..Kaya lang,paano kung ayaw ka niyang kausapin?Nagkita kami sa birthday party nang anak niya kahapon.She is happy now,dad.."paliwanag ko sa aking ama.

"Naging malapit na din siya sa akin,iho.Alam mong botong boto ako sa inyong dalawa dati pa.Kahit pa nagkaroon nang malaking kasalanan ang kuya mo..I just want to meet her family.."malalim na buntong hininga ang aking narinig at pagkatapos ay tuluyan ko na lamang sinabi ang adress ni Faith.

Nag uap pa kami ni Dad,hanggang sa tuluyan na siyang nagpaalam.

Ako naman ay nanatiling malayo ang tingin at inalala ang masasayang sandali na nakasama ko si Faith.

Siguro nga hindi kami ang itinakda.Dahil I have my son now.And I am already inlove with Jane.

Next year ay pauwi na siya at mananatili na lamang dito upang maalagaan niya si Zion.

Everytime she calls lagi siyang naiiyak.I know she missed our son.
Konting tiis na lamang at muli na din naman kaming magkikita.
