Love Me Again, My Alpha

Chapter 2

Cullen

So I ended up bringing the kid with me after I dressed him with my nephews clothes.

"Kai, I will be working inside this building. I want you to behave okay?" sabi ko sa kanya.

"Pwomish Mama. Kai behave. No make Mama angry wid Kai," sagot nito bago ngumiti.

My plan was to bring him and turn him to the police but Kai cried at the top of his lungs and it made me just bring him along with me.

Pagpasok pa lang namin sa floor kung saan naroon ang accounting department ay agad na kaming pinagtitingan ng mga katrabaho ko.

"Omigosh! Ang cute ng anak mo, Cullen!" tuwang-tuwang sabi ni Reese habang tinitignan ang nakaupong si Kai sa aking kandungan.

"He's not mine but he calls me Mama," sagot ko sa kanya. "I wanted to turn over him to the police pero umiyak siya ng umiyak kaya heto dinala ko na lang siya rito".

"Baka kamukha mo iyong Mama niya or something. Either way kahit sobrang cute na bata iyan, kailangan mo siyang isauli sa mga magulang niya," sabi niya.

"I know kaya ako magha-half day mamaya. Hahanapin ko ang mga magulang niya," sagot ko.

Apat na oras na akong nagtatrabaho ng hawakan ni Kai ang aking kanang braso.

"Mama Kai is hungry. Kai want eat," sabi niya pagkatapos ay itinuro ang kanyang maliit na bunganga.

Napatampal ako sa aking noo.

Jeez I forgot his food!

Noon ko lang naalala ang snack bag na naiwan ko sa mesa sa bahay.

"Okay. Let's go to the canteen. I'll carry you and buy you some food," nakangiting sagot ko sa kanya bago siya kinarga.

"Yay!" nakangiting sabi ni Kai bago iniyakap ang mga kamay sa aking leeg.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Kai wants lots of chowkowets and candish," sagot niya.

"Oh no. That's not good for you Kai, you must eat a lot of good food. Not the bad ones," sagot ko sa kanya habang naglalakad ako patungo sa elevator.

"But Kai only eat chowkowets an candish wid nani," sagot niya.

"No no. That's bad for a Kai. You must eat healthy food. Mama will get angry if you insist on eating those bad foods," sabi ko.

Naramdaman kong humigpit ang yakap ni Kai sa akin.

"Otay. Kai will follow Mama. So Mama won't leave Kai. Otay?"

Napayakap ako ng mahigpit sa bata. I feel like he is my son already.

Ah, I wish he's my child.

Pagbukas ng elevator ay halos nakasalubong ko si Aeron kasama ang ilang taong hindi ko kilala.

"Dad!" sabi ni Kai noong makita ang isang babaeng matangkad sa harapan namin.

Para bang nahinto ang aking mundo noong marealized ko kung sino itong babaeng nakatayo sa harapan ko. Of course how can I forget those aquamarine eyes that used to look at me lovingly? How can I forget those pouty lips that used to kiss me back then?

This woman, even though she matured and became the most handsome female elite alpha I have ever seen, is still the one who dominates my heart until now.

Jesus Christ!

"Kai? Kai?!" sabi ng isang maliit na may edad ng babae sa tabi ng matangkad na babae.

Agad nitong sinubukang kunin si Kai mula sa akin ngunit biglang yumakap ng mahigpit sa akin ang bata.

"No! Kai only wants Mama. Go away nani. Kai go wid Mama buy Kai food," sabi ni Kai at saka yumakap ng mahigpit sa aking leeg.

"Leave us," sabi ng babae sa mga kasama niya sa elevator.

"I'll be meeting you later, President," sabi ni Aeron bago lumabas ng elevator kasama ang tatlo pang kalalakihan nasa loob ng elevator. "And you," aniya. "Come with me."

Wala akong nagawa kung hindi sumunod sa babaeng akala ko ay hindi ko na makikita.

Why did she suddenly appear? Why? Don't tell she's..

"Dad, Kai ride car again wid you and Mama?" nakangiting tanong ni Kai.

"Yes baby. Dad will take you and your Mama back to the hotel room. Do you want to eat something? Perhaps chocolate?" tanong niya sa bata bago binuksan ang passenger seat. "Hope in," sabi niya sa akin habang karga-karga ko si Kai.

"No! Kai don't want eat chowkowets again. Mama said bad for Kai. Kai don't want Mama angry. Mama leaves Kai if Kai no listen to mama. Kai don't want Mama leave again," sabi ni Kai bago umayos ng upo sa aking kandungan.

"Okay. Then let's eat to a restaurant properly. Kai must eat all food the Mama will choose for you okay?" tanong niya sa bata bago pinaandar ang makina ng sasakyan niya bago tumingin sa akin.

That kind of look that she's actually still angry at me. Nagbawi ako ng paningin at itinuon ko sa labas ang aking mga mata.

"Course daddy! Kai will be good for Mama!" nakangiting sagot ng bata bago nito hinawakan ang aking mukha at saka inilapit ang aking noo sa noo niya. Why the hell I am here anyway?

"I pwimish that Kai will be good to Mama. So, Mama also promish to no leave Kai, otay Mama?"

This kid's words melt my heart so much. Kai is obviously missing his real mom kung kaya napagkakamalan niya akong ako ang mama niya.

"Pinky promise," sagot ko kay Kai.

Ugh. What the hell am I thinking? He's the son of Sage. I have to stay away from her.

Naramdaman kong muling nag-activate ang aking natutulog na puso.

Oh hell, not again!

Bigla ko na namang naalala ang nakalipas.

I remember the first day I met Sage when I was just a kid back when I learned that I'm a recessive omega. I was hoping I'm not though every inch of me shouts that I am one. Still it hurts because people of all classes always look down on the class like me.

"Why are you crying?" tanong ng boses habang nakaupo ako sa isang sulok ng park at umiiyak. I was just seven back then.

Tiningala ko ang nagmamay-ari ng sapatos na kulay pula at nakita ko ang isang batang babae. Una kong napansin sa kanya ay ang mga mata niyang kakaiba ang kulay. I was mesmerized at her kung kaya hindi ko napansin na hanila na niya ako patayo.

"Why are you crying?" tanong niya uli.

"B-because I'm a recessive omega," sagot ko sa kanya.

Ngumiti siya sa akin.

"It's not bad being recessive," sagot niya. "Would you like to be my pair when we grow up?" aniya pa.

Napatitig ako sa kanya habang nakatingala.

"A-are you sure you want to be my pair? Even though I'm ugly and fat?"

Hinawakan niya ang aking mga pisngi.

"Of course. I'd like you to be my pair when the time comes," sagot niya sa akin.

Christ why do I have to remember that all of sudden?

I thought that she was just blabbering a white lie to make me feel good back then. Grew up and became a Junior High school student. Hindi ko ine-expect na muli kaming magkikita. She was in her last year of senior high school noong nagtransfer siya sa eskwelahan namin.

"Hi, we met again," nakangiting sabi niya noong makita niya akong kumakain ng baon kong pagkain sa likuran ng canteen. I can't afford the food in the canteen kaya para makatipid, nilulutuan ako ni Mama ng pagkain para sa tanghalian.

Tiningala ko siya at nakita ko naman ang mga magagandang mga mata na iyon.

"H-hello. Want to eat?" tanong ko sa kanya.

Ngumiti siya sa akin at saka tumabi.

"I've been looking for you all through those years," sabi niya sa akin na muntik ng magpasamid sa akin.

"W-why?"

"Remember what I told you when we were kids?"

I nodded at her.

"Can I court you, first? And when we reach the exact age, I'll mark you," sabi niya.

Akala ko nagbibiro siya. What else should I think for? Mataba ako, pangit pa. Walang nagkakagusto sa isang recessive na katulad ko lalo na't my hormonal imbalance. But when I look into her eyes, she's too sincere and that sparkle in those eyes shows everything.

And before I knew I had fallen in love with her so deep.

Sage spoils me every chance she has. She even insisted on meeting my parents. Hiyang-hiya ang parents ko dahil hindi naman kagandahan ang bahay namin at maliit pa ito.

My parents gave us the blessings she wanted. And she was so happy. Alangan pa ako dahil paano kung biglang magbago ang isipan ni Sage? What if sa bandang huli ay narealized niyang hindi pala ako ang gusto niya. Sage is popular to the omegas regardless the gender. Madalas ko siyang nakikita kasama ang mga dominant omegas or mga dominant alphas. She always takes time to look back at me and smiles whenever she knows I'm looking at her.

My heart would always go crazy whenever she did that.

I thought that we would be together back then. Akala ko yung kasiyahang nararamdaman ko would last. But I was wrong. And that was the mistake I ever regretted because I was so cowardly back then. If I didn't break up with her, my family would suffer. They suffered enough at ayokong madagdagan pa ito ka kahit na alam kong ang palayain si Sage ay ikakadurog ng puso ko.
