The Archer's Curse

39

Weeks had passed and manang Rosa is still in her province. I always see Jax and Clary in the hospital and I don't even know why they're there. But I don't actually care, I don't even talk to them anymore.

"Hey ayusin mo pag-babantay mo ha!" I lectured Chase who is on his phone.

He's talking about some problem in their airlines. It's a little odd that he managed it himself even though Clary is the first born. I wonder what happened to their family. Chase won't even tell me a thing.

He nodded at me before I went inside the supermarket. I had to buy groceries and walang magbabantay kay Ysa so sinama ko na siya at sumunod naman si Chase sa amin. I told them to stay outside at naka-stroller naman si Ysa though she's a little persistent to walk kaya tinatanggal-tanggal siya doon.

I bought everything we need and I suddenly felt disturbed. Kinakabahan ako nang hindi ko alam kung bakit kaya mabilis kong tinapos ang pamimili before I went out. The staff followed me with everything I bought and I was startled when I saw Chase holding Ysa while talking to Clary and Jax.

I went closer as I told the staff to stay there. I had to hear what they're talking and Ysa was there!

"You have a freaking child?!" I heard Clary asked that made my eyes widened.

It's not Chase's daughter!

"What do you care?" Chase asked boringly.

"Baka nakakalimutan mo, I'm still older than you" Clary retorted a little annoyed with what her younger brother acted.

"You don't act like one, stop sticking your nose to everything you see." I can feel the anger in Chase's voice so I know I had to butt in.

Only I can make him come back to his senses.

I motioned my hand for the staff to follow me before I walked right into them. Jax stared at me with his dark eyes. Napailing nalang ako at kinuha si Ysa kay Chase.

"Ma-ma" she said while beaming so I smiled at her.

"Aalis na kami Chase" I said before I turned my back on them.

But suddenly Ysa cried while stretching his arm towards Jax. Napangiwi ako at binaba ang kamay niya but she still kept on crying. What is happening?!

"Up.. up" she said.

"Baby no" I whispered with a threatening voice.

I heard Jax hissed before going near me and getting Ysa. My forehead creased when Ysa smiled brightly while she leaned her head towards Jax's chest. I hate my mind for thinking different what if's including what if we are still together?

Napailing ako at akmang kukunin na si Ysa but Jax glared at me. I raised my brow at him because of what he did.

"Akin na, we need to go" I murmured.

"How old is she?" he suddenly asked.

I rolled my eyes in irritation. Is this a freaking interview? Since when he got interested with who I'm surrounded by?

"One okay? Aalis na kami" I irritatedly said before forcefully getting Ysa. She suddenly cried so I tapped her cheeks a little. "Stop it Ysa" I whispered before walking away.

I drove my way back to my condo. I put Ysa back to her walker before I cooked for her. After cooking ay biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko.

[Cali, may shoot ka tomorrow.. Sunduin ka ba namin o ikaw na ang pupunta?] Misha said, my manager.

"Where?" I asked as I bit my toasted bread.

[New York] she chuckled.

"The fuck?" I exclaimed.
