Tears Of The Unwanted Wife [COMPLETED]

Unwanted Wife 19

When Lolo leave the office, I quickly followed him and found him knocking on Vero's room.

He didn't notice my presence so I just stayed there as I watch him entered my daughter's room.

I walked towards the masters bedroom and found Freya lying on the bed. She's sleeping and I didn't bother waking her up, I know she's tired.

Tinungo ko ang banyo at naisipang maligo. This day is giving me headaches! Shit!

When the cold water touches my skin, a picture of a gorgeous woman appeared in my mind. She's wearing a white dress and a genuine smile appeared on her lips.

She's smiling at him. The woman immediately vanished and he hates his mind because it.

But he still remember the beautiful face of the woman, it's kinda familiar and he knows he already saw that face but he's unclear where and when.

I keep remembering the familiar face of the woman but my mind won't cooperate. I frustratedly close the shower and stared at the wall.

Half an hour had passed and I'm already on my walk in closet picking the clothes I want to wear.

I choose a plain white t-shirt and a gray pajama.

Nang lumabas ako, tulog pa rin si Freya. She must be really tired. Kinumutan ko siya and kissed her forehead before leaving the room and walks towards Vero's room.

I heard someone talking inside so I guess Lolo is still here.

Idinikit ko ang aking tenga sa pintuan para marinig ang pinag uusapan nila. When I heard their conversation clearly, my lips automatically form into a small smile.

When I realized what I did, agad nawala ang ngiti sa aking mga labi.

Fuck! What was that, Helius? Seriously, smiling because of that slutty woman? Tsk.

No way.

I was about to leave when I heard Vero's sad voice. Idinikit kong muli ang aking tenga at parang tinusok ang puso ko sa narinig kong sinabi ng aking anak.

"Papa Lolo, where is my mommy? My classmates are bullying me because they said my mom doesn't love me, that's why she left me. Is it true, Lolo? Mommy hates me?"

Ilang minuto bago sumagot si Lolo and I can feel uneasiness from his voice. Like he doesn't know what to say. Kahit naman ako ang tanungin ng aking anak ng ganoong bagay, hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko.

I hate Kreisha! Pero hindi ko iyon kayang sabihin kay Vero. I don't want her to think that her mom is a gold digger. Kahit nauubusan na ako ng mga rason, ni minsan hindi pumasok sa isip ko ang sabihin ang totoo tungkol sa mga ginawa ni Kreisha noon kay Vero. I don't want her to feel sad or worst feel hatred towards someone. As much as possible, gusto ko siyang lumaking walang tinatanim na sama ng loob sa kahit sino.

"Vero, apo... your mommy is the best woman in the world. She did everything for you. She did everything she can to be with you, don't hate her, apo. Soon, you'll finally meet her."

"Really, Lolo?"

He can sense the excitement on her daughter's voice, parang sabik na sabik talaga itong makita ang kaniyang tunay na ina.

"Of course, apo."

He heaved a sighed. Hindi na niya narinig pang sumagot si Vero. Maybe she fall asleep already.

Akmang tatalikod na ako nang biglang bumukas ang pinto.

I saw shock on Lolo's face but it quickly disappeared.

"Alam mo bang gustong gusto makita ni Veronica si Kreisha?" Tanong niya sa akin ng maramdaman niyang wala akong balak mag salita.

I nodded, "bakit hindi mo siya hayaang makita ang anak niyo?"

"Because she doesn't deserve Vero." Tinignan niya ako gamit ang kakaibang ekspresyon ng kaniyang mukha.

He didn't like my answer.

"But Vero deserves to know who her mom is!" Mediyo tumaas ang boses ng Lolo tanda na naiinis na ito sa mga sinasabi ko.

I chuckled, "easy for you to say. Kung tutuusin, hindi naman mangyayari ang lahat ng ito kung hindi mo pinakialaman ang buhay ko noon."

Hindi siya sumagot at diretsong naglakad patungo sa hagdanan. Before his feet could touch the stair, he stopped, "I did what I know is best for you."

Hindi makapaniwalang nakatitig ako sa puwestong kinatatayuan ni Lolo kanina. Best for me? Sa pagkakaalam ko, puro pasakit lang ang hatid ng kasalan na iyon sa buhay niya.

Walang magandang naidulot iyon sa buhay niya.

His mind was interrupted by a soft voice calling for him.

"Yes baby?"

"Are you mad at me?" She asked and tears pulled down from her cute eyes.

I rattled and immediately lift her. I don't want to see my baby crying. It hurts. Parang may nakadagan na mabigat na bagay sa dibdib ko kapag nakikita ko siyang lumuluha.

"No baby, Daddy is not mad at you." I said softly and entered her room.

She rested her chin on my shoulder and slowly, she stopped crying. Thanks God!

"Why are you shouting at Lolo, daddy? Is it because I keep on insisting to meet my mom?" She asked innocently.

I wiped her tears and laid her on the bed. Umupo ako sa tabi niya and caressed her soft hair. Kulot-kulot iyon sa dulo na nakadagdag sa ganda non.

She got it from Kreisha.

"No, yes, I mean, uhm we're just talking about something personal."

Tinignan niya ako na parang hindi naniniwala but she didn't bother to answer anymore.

"Daddy, is my mommy pretty?" Nagulat ako sa biglang tanong niya and end up reminiscing Kreisha's face. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pumasok sa isip ko ang babaeng na imagine ko kanina noong naliligo ako. I shrugged and erase the thought.

"She is gorgeous." Wala sa sarili kong sambit.

Huli na bago ko mabawi ang sinabi ko dahil narinig na ito ng anak ko. She's smiling widely at me.

"Uh-huh! The picture didn't lie at all!" She exclaimed.

Picture?

"What picture baby?" I asked, curious about the picture she's talking about.

She didn't answer and run towards her small study table. She opened the drawer and get a piece of paper from there.

She run back towards my direction and jump on my lap. Damn! Mas lalong lumilikot anak ko ah!

"Here, daddy! Papa Lolo give it to me!"

She showed me a picture of a woman wearing a white dress and smiling genuinely on the camera.

It's similar with the girl I imagined while taking a shower.

I looked closer at the picture and a realization hit me!

Fuck!

Did I just daydreamed the woman whom I loathe the most?
