"Miss Elrod, andito na po yung lawyer na kinuha ng daddy niyo"sabi ng sekretarya ko na si Kael
"Papasukin mo siya"sabi ko habang pumipirma ako ng papeles sa mesa ko
"It's been a long time Alona"the voice that I missed for a long time, it gives me butterflies in my stomach again
but....
"Kael, tell my dad to change the lawyer"
"Miss Elrod, siya na lang yung available na lawyer dito sa pilipinas at full-time"
"That's true Alona"he smiled at me
Kung hindi lang dahil sa pinagagawa ng kapatid ni daddy sa kompanya na ito wala sanang lawyer eh!
"So tell me what would you file against this person?"He asked me and sat infront of me
"Stealing an amount of money"I said without looking at him
"Bakit hindi ka makatingin sa akin?"
"It disgust me"I said while sipping my iced tea on my table
"Embezzlement is the case then so can I have your number?"he asked me
"For?"
"For this case and don't worry I'll used it for businesses matters"he added
"Whatever"I gave him my calling card
"Mommy!!" Calista ran to me and hugged me
"Ayaw magpapigil miss Elrod"sabi ng yaya niya sa akin napabuntong hininga ako sa sinabi niya at pinaupo ito sa lap ko
"Calista, what did I just told you?"
"Calista should behave"she answered
"That's right!"
"Ma-may anak ka na?"bigla na tanong sa akin ni Luca habang nakatingin kay Calista
"This is Calista Aika Elrod, Calista can you say hi to the mr.?"Calista crossed her arms
"No mommy!"napabuntong hininga ako at binigay ito sa yaya niya
"Mich, can you bring Calista to the playground"
"Yes ma'am"agad niya naman binuhat si Calista at lumabas na ng office ko
"So tell me is she really your daughter?"
"Why do you care that much Luca? If she is what will you do?"I asked him while playing with my pen
He didn't say a word
"Anyway you can go now, I have a meeting to attend to"I stood up and walked towards the door
She is my sister's daughter who died in plane a crash together with her fiancee. My family registered Calista as my biological daughter to cover everything
"Miss Elrod what do you think of our proposal"a young man asked me nervously
"Are you nervous?"
"A little"he awkwardly smiled
"Your proposal is great but can I asked something? what will you do if there is an circuit shortage? How can you handle this situation?"I asked him while playing my pen
"Uhmm...we would solved this problem immediately"
"Oh, I see"I snap my fingers to let my secretary know to end this meeting immediately
"Meeting dismissed!"I stood up and went to my office, Calista was already asleep, I smiled at myself and kissed her on her forehead
"Ate, she is look like you"I whispered while looking up in the sky like I was talking to her "I will love her and gave her the best"
"Mommy?"she squealed and hugged me
"Oh baby, are you tired?" I cupped her face
"Yeah"she whispered
"Kael, I'll be leaving early today"I told him as I carry my daughter
Mich was behind us...
"Mommy, look at those children"she pointed at the playground
"You wanna play with them baby?"I asked her
"No, I just want to play with you mommy"she smiled and step into the car
"Im sorry baby if Im always busy"
"Mommy, it's okay"She said while smiling sweetly
"Babawi si mommy sayo sa free time ko"I smiled at her
"Yeey! I can't wait mommy!"
"Be a good girl to yaya Michielle okay?"
"Yes I will!"saka siya ngumiti kay Mich
"Ang ganda naman ng baby namin"sabi ni Mich sa kanya at niyakap ito
"Ofcourse because my mommy is also pretty"
"Kunan mo na si mommy mo ng boyfriend"pagbibiro ni Mich sa kanya
"Nope, I don't want to!"she crossed her arms infront of Mich and arched her eyebrows
"Why not?"
"Ako lang baby ni mommy!"sabi niya at umirap ito
"Aba! Selosa na bata to ma'am"tawa niya sa anak ko
"andito na tayo sa bahay"sabi ko at lumabas na ng porsche sumunod din sila sa akin
"Sammy!"agad niya niyakap ang aso naming husky
"Aso lang talaga kalaro niya dito sa bahay"natatawa na sabi ni Mich
"Look after her Mich, may gagawin lang ako sa study room"I told her and walked inside the house
After two hours of working in my laptop. I stretched my arms and removed my glasses.
"The business is getting tougher"I whispered
I still need to get the money what they steal....
"The money is mine and ours, my sister work hard for that. I am sure you killed her and her husband. You were the reason why my nephew lost her parents at the young age!"I clenched my fist
"Pagbabayaran niyo lahat!"hindi ako susuko hangga't hindi ko makuha ang hustisya sa pagkamatay ni ate at ni kuya Dion
"Mommy, dinner is ready!"Calista came to my room and looked at me with those innocent eyes
She really got my sister's feature...
Ate Jasmine, your daughter is growing up so fast
"Okay baby let's go"I said while smiling at her
"Alona, I heard you already had a daughter"My classmate in high-school said while looking at me
we are here at the hotel venue of Villarosa with my alumni classmates when I am still studying in Ateneo
"So?"
"Hindi ka ba nahihiya na may anak ka na at the very young age?"she said while smirking
"Bakit ikakahiya ko ang anak ko? Sa totoo nga yan isa siyang blessing at siya yung rason umaangat ako sa buhay"sabi ko habang umiinom ng cocktail ko
"Francine, don't cause a scene here!"Sophia told her while glaring at her
"Do you even tolerate your bestfriend Sophia?"she smirked
"Atleast nagpapakatotoo siya hindi yung iba diyan nagsasanta maria"sabay irap niya
"Ano sabi mo?!"
"Malandi ka"sinampal siya ni Francine gumanti naman siya ng dalawa sa kanya
"The heck!"
"Sophia tama na, sayang lang oras natin dito"sabi ko sa kanya habang nilapag ang baso sa mesa
"Tama ka nga Alona sayang yung oras natin sa malalanding tao na to"
Francine gaze at the boys and smiled at me
"Luca, do you know that Alona had a daughter?"Francine asked him
"I already saw her daughter, you don't have to embarrassed her infront of us Francine"he coldly said
"Ikaw lang pahiya girl"natatawa na sabi ni Owen
"Sinabi mo pa"sabi ni Sophia na tumatawa din
"Chaka ka girl, malandi kana nga kulang pa sa pansin. Girl, pakilugar nga ng ugali mo. Hindi mo deserve explanation ng kaibigan namin. Tara na nga girls sobrang masama yung hangin dito"sabay hila niya sa amin ni Sophia palayo sa kanila
"Nasisira yung beauty ko sa kanila girls"sabi ni Owen at pinapaypayan ang sarili niya
"Wag ka mag-alala sis mas maganda ka sa mga haliparot na iyun"natatawa na sabi ni Sophia
"Ayos lang ba pisnge mo?"tanong ko kay Sophia habang nakatingin sa pisnge niya
"Okay lang ako Alona"she smiled at me sweetly
"Matibay yang si Sophia eh, teka nga kailan ko ba ulit makikita yang si Calista"sabi ni Owen
"Gusto mo ba bantayan si Calista?"tanong ko sa kanya
"Nako girl, go ako diyan at gusto ko siya ayusan.Napakagandang bata"nakangiti niyang sabi sa akin
"Osige iiwan ko siya sayo bukas dahil may seminar ako pupuntahan bukas"sabi ko sa kanya
"Doon ako sa inyo bukas sis"sabi ni Sophia kay Owen
"Girl, akala ko ba may trabaho ka?"
"Fired ako sis pano ba naman kasi yang pinagpalit sa akin ng ex-boyfriend ko yung mayaman na haliparot"sabi niya
"Let me guess pinatulan mo?"tanong ko sa kanya
"Pano hindi ko yun papataulan, feeling magaling!"
"Isayaw nalang natin yan sis"paghila sa amin ni Owen sa gitna ng dance floor at sumayaw ng sumayaw
"Girl, ang gwapong lalaki!"turo niya sa amin sa isang sulok ng table
"Girl, mahilig ka pala sa fucboi"tawa ni Sophia
"Girl, ang gwapo niya kaya"
"Gwapo nga pero maarte naman sa katawan"
"Bitter ka Sophia? Wag mo damayin nagugustuhan ko"
"Go ka na doon!"pagtulak niya kay Owen at itong bakla naman rumampa papunta doon
"Hi boys!"sabi niya at tumalikod kami ni Sophia para tumawa
"Nakakadiri talaga tong si Owen"pabulong na sabi ni Sophia
"Sinabi mo pa!"
"Girl, si Alona yung gusto nung lalaki"sabi ni Owen na nakasimangot
"Samahan mo ako Alona dali na"hinila niya ako papunta sa mga lalaki
"Owen teka!"muntik na ako madapa sa paghila niya sa akin
"Ito ba gusto niyo?"ngumiti sa akin ang lalaki at hinawakan ang kamay ko
"Sorry, I already had a daughter"sabi ko sa kanya at binawi ang kamay ko
"Single mom?"a guy asked while looking at me
"She is not a single mom, Im her husband. If you dare touch her again even one strand of her hair you'll die"Luca said in a cold voice
What? What is he doing?!
"Papi, nagkabalikan na kayo?"hindi siya pinansin ni Luca at kinaladkad na ako palabas ng venue
"Dahan-dahan nga!"sigaw ko dahil nakaheels pa naman ako
"Alona, you still had a great charms on every men"he cornered me on the wall
"Lu-ca baka may maka-kakita sa atin"sambit ko saka umiwas sa mga mata niya
"You're still mine"then he kissed on my lips
Damn Amir Luca!
"Luca! You're insane!"I slapped him after he kissed me
"Alona"
"Please remember that we are not together anymore!! Hindi na ako yung Alona na kilala mo na agad nagpapatawad! Niloko niyo ako! Akala ko nga totoo ka sakin dahil sa sinabi mo pero tama nga sila Sophia words cannot be proven without a sincere actions! Now please stop saying that im yours because I am not a property of anyone!"I said and left him in the parking lot
How dare him!. Umupo ako sa bench at umiyak
How many years it still affects me!....
"Handkerchief miss?"A man offered me his hanky, he's wearing a hospital uniform. Kinuha ko iyun at pinahid sa mga luha ko
"Sorry dahil emotera ako"natatawa na sabi ko
"It's okay to let it out sometimes"he said while smiling "By the way see you around, im working in that hospital. The name is Bryle"
"Alona"
"Nice to meet you"we both said and laughed
