Captivated

Kelly

I've been here for weeks at hanggang ngayon wala pa rin akong maisip na paraan para makaalis dito. Sa loob din ng mga linggong yun, pilit kong iniiwasan si Phoenix. Most of the time I'm just here inside this room at dinadalhan na lang nila ako ng pagkain. His daughter Kristen always visiting me and play with me. She's the reason why I can still smile even I'm stuck with Phoenix

I also found out that I already saw her in an island, sya nga yung batang lumapit sakin at tinawag akong Mommy. I don't have any problem with her calling me Mommy because everytime she did, it puts a smile on my lips at pakiramdam ko rin ay  kasama ko ang anak ko dahil sa kanya

"I'll show you something Mommy!"

She held my hand. Wala na kong nagawa at sumunod na lang sa kanya. We stopped in the living room

"Daddy and I baked a cake. We baked this cake for you! "

Kinuha nya yung mocha cake sa may lamesa at hinarap sakin. I smiled, I found it sweet

"You did that?"

She nodded and smiled sweetly

"Taste it Mommy! Oh wait, I'll get you fork. Come on Ate Layla! "

Layla smiled when Kristen held her hand. She looked at me and I just smiled and nodded

Kristen put the cake back on the table and they left. She's a smart and adorable kid

"I bet you're enjoying your stay here "

Napalingon ako sa nagsalita. It was Harriet. She sat on the couch and arched her brow at me

"I thought you hate Phoenix? "

"I do but I like Kristen"

"That kid has Phoenix's blood running in her veins, the blood of the criminal who ruined you and yet you still like her? "

"Not because they're in the same bloodline means she's just like her father, she's innocent"

"What would I expect? Of course you will say that. She's your daughter though"

Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi nya

"Oh damn, you didn't know?"

She made a shock face but I know she's just faking it. She got up from her seat and smirked at me

"I guess Phoenix didn't tell you about her. And yes Kelly, she's your daughter. She was the fruit when Phoenix did that you"

I felt my world suddenly stopped. How... how could that happen?

Nangingilid ang luha ko nang lumapit sa kanya at sinampal sya. Ang kaninang pagkabigla ko ay napalitan ng galit

"How dare you involved my child here"

Ngumisi lang sya at binalewala ang lakas ng sampal ko

"Are you not happy that she's alive?"

Her grin widen

"Akala mo talaga nawala sya? You heard her cried Kelly. Phoenix took your daughter away and made you believe that your daughter died but bitch, she didn't. Oh well, maybe he thought that you can't raise your child. Yes, he thought you were incapable of raising your daughter. But you should be happy now that you finally knew that she's alive"

She's just making up stories. I wiped my tears but they were helplessly falling, damn! Magagawa ba talaga ni Phoenix ang bagay na yun?

"You want to leave right? I can help you with that but in exchange you have to leave us. Wag ka ng magpapakita samin"
