CHAPTER 2
1028 Words
Marco's POV
Nang makarating ang eroplano, agad akong sinalubong ni Michael, ang aking matagal na assistant sa France. Isa siya sa mga pinagkakatiwalaan ko at siya rin ay isang detective, kaya't siya ay isang mahusay at akma sa kanyang posisyon.
"Found her?" mahinang sabi ko na alam kong rinig niya rin ito.
"Yes Mr. Freniere and she is currently living in a small apartment and she is confirmed to be pregnant and I think she has been pregnant for five months," he stated while looking at his memo note.
Five months, five months, and now she still lives in an apartment? Saan siya nakukuha ang mga bayad sa renta at kung anu-ano pang mga bayarin, dahil alam kong wala siyang kamag-anak dito. Ano ba ang trabaho niya? Why do the hell I care about her? Stop thinking about that woman Marco! Mag focus ka ngayon sa mga ginagawa mo at gagawin mo palang please hold your self. She should pay for everything she did, she's not worth your love.
"You have a 10, Mr. Freniere," Miguel said and I nod.
Alam kong isang araw malalaman niya na narito ako at alam ko din na pagdating niya dito pumunta siya sa condo na tinutuluyan namin at hinanap ako. At kung ipapaako niya ang batang nasa sa kanyang sinapupunan ay malugod ko itong tatanggapin, according to my plans besides wala namag future ang anak niya sa kanya, it's better na sa akin mapunta ang bata. At first, I knew I was the father of what she was carrying but I wanted her to tell me that I was the father, gusto kong sa kanya iyon manggaling ngunit ano ang nangyari, ipinaako niya sa iba. I'll just take the child and leave her alone. That's what I should do and the right thing to do.
Ngunit sa kabila ng mga kabal-balang ginawa niya sa akin bakit tila mahal ko parin siya and I'm annoyed of it, I'm annoyed of myself for feeling that way. But the wounds she gave me would not be sealed by love. I want her to taste all the pain... slowly and painfully.
Before I came here I had to stay in London first to think about everything I had to do. Bago pa ako ipagkanulo ni Mirana I was ahead step of her, I had a house built in London and there I wanted to make a new life with her and our children, but now it seems like a waste. There I thought I was going to take the child she was carrying, our son. I will not give her the right to the child. Hindi siya karapat dapat na tawaging ina, at kailanman ay di siya matatwag na ina.
I'll give her an agreement to sign.
My phone rang and I excuse myself.
Agad kong pinasadahan ng tingin kung sino ang tumatawag, Kiero.
"Hey"
"Hey Marco," he said in a low tone and I knew something bad had happened, ganito siya kapag may itinatago.
"Tell me now Keiro what is it?" I asked and he took a deep breath before answering.
"I have been arranged," mahinang sagot niya sa kabilang linya, nakainom ata ang mokong na ito.
"Arranged to what? Be specific Keir," I said and he sounded irritated.
"marriage," he finally said after a minute of silence.
"To whom?"
"IHindi ko pa alam kung sino pero ngayon palang sinasabi ko ng di niya magugustuhan ang pinasok niya, I'll give her hell. She'll live in hell," he said and I know that he didn't want this situation pero hindi dapat siya maging ganyan, I'm not taking sides pero di ko rin alam ang kwento ng babae, marahil ay hindi niya rin ito ginusto.
" When have you been arranged?"
"I don't f*****g know and I have no plans to find it out."
"Please don't hurt a woman. She may not want to marry you either. After you get married we have an annulment bro, wala sa linya natin ang manakit ng babae kung wala naman silang kasalanan sa atin," biglang sagot ko na ako mismo ay biglang natigilan, hindi nanakit ng babae ngunit tila ito na nga ang ginagawa ko pero alam ko namang may kasalanan siya so we are even. Agad akong natigilan ng biglang tinapik ni Michael ang braso ko.
"We need to go, Mr. Freniere," he said gesturing me the car who is waiting for us to go.
"I need to go Keiro, think before you act. I'll call you later." I said and ended the call.
I can't believe his family did that to him, I don't blame his family either in this generation's wealth is more powerful. But as others have said everything has its reason.
"Miguel," I called at agad naman siya lumingon sa akin.
"Yes Mr. Freniere?" he asked.
"Cancel all of my meetings, show me where she lives," I ordered and he obeyed immediately.
Nang makarating kami sa kung saan ang kanyang kinaroroonan, I saw her carrying heavy things to the other house. I wanted to get out of the car and help her and give her a word for doing heavy things pero bakit ko aman gagawin yun? Wag tanga Marco. And I just keep myself from going out.
"Kaninong bahay yang pinapasukan niya?" I asked as I didn't take my eyes off of Mirana.
"According to my research that house belonged to Cello Frey but he is not there, he went to the Philippines may problema ata sa pamilya nila," he stated while reading his notes.
Cello Frey, who is he in her life? Sino ba siya sa iyo Mirana?
May tinatago ba kayong relasyon? There are so many questions that ran through my mind that I could not answer them. I looked at Mirana again, wiping her sweat, obviously struggling with what she was doing. She held her stomach and I don't know if she was crying as she patted her stomach, tila ba may sumindot sa puso ko at tila nasasaktan sa nasasaksihan. At nang muli ko siyang tignan ay nakatingi na siya sa aming direksyon na nakakunot ang noo, masyadong mainit ang panahon kaya di niya kami masyadong makita.
"Let's go," I ordered and the engine started.
I took one last look at her and she was gone in where she was standing.
Someday, we will see each other and that day... I hope you are prepared.
