Hired Girlfriend (CAMPUS SERIES #1)

Chapter 17

"nawala si evoughn sa 'min when she was 5months old baby"

i glanced at the wall and stares at the baby pictures

why does she looks like me when i was a baby?

i furrowed my brows and look at the photo album which was kuya rich handing me now

"what was this?"
i asked

"that's her photo album from baby to 7years old girl"

"i thought nawala siya? then why do you have her photo collections?"
i asked

"someone's sending us pictures of her when she was a baby until 7years old, then after that it disappear"
mom said

so may anonymous person na nagpapadala ng pictures ni evoughn sa kanila?

i open the photo album
then i was so shocked about the pictures

it's all me
this picture was taken on my 6th birthday
i was holding an ice cream then papa was trying to tease me and lick my ice cream

"h-how does this happen"
i said

"what do you mean?"
daddy asked

"it's my 6th birthday, and that man is my papa"
i exclaimed

mommy Yhumie's mouth formed an 'O' with her both eyes open wide

i immediately stares on the next page

my gosh!
halos lahat ng pictures puro ako

Does this mean?
ako si Evoughn?

then suddenly a flashback came into my mind

the time when papa's dead
he gave me a white paper containing my family contact

"we didn't addopted you alexa! when we get your birth certificate on your previous campus, it written there na manabat ang surname mo, then your parents are yhumie manabat and renato manabat"
daddy exclaimed

"a-am i-i d-dreaming?"

"no lil sis"

i ran towards my cabinet and found the white paper that papa gave to me years ago

and when i opened it
i found his letter

esang anak,
          napakalaki ng kasalanan namin ng mama fe mo, ninakaw ka niya sa totoo mong pamilya dahil sa inggit,
alam kong may gusto ang mama mo sa amo niya, pero wala akong nagawa para pigilan ang damdamin niya, sa sobrang selos niya sa totoo mong nanay, ninakaw ka niya, nagpakalayo-layo kami para itago ka sa kanila, wala akong magawa para maibalik ka sa mga magulang mo, kaya nagpapadala nalang ako ng mga litrato mo sa kanila, para kung sakali man na magtagpo ang mga landas niyo, hindi sila mahirapan na mahanap at makilala ka, alam kong hirap na hirap kana sa buhay natin anak, diba may pangarap tayo na sasabitan pa kita ng medalya? gusto kong ang tunay mong mga magulang ang tumupad non para sa 'kin
kaya naman sa oras na mabasa mo toh
ibig sabihin wala na ako
ibig sabihin gagabayan na kita kung saan ka man pupunta
kailangan mong bumalik sa pamilya mo
sila madam yhumie ang totoo mong magulang, isa kang manabat anak!
gusto kong pumunta ka sa kanila, gusto kong makamit mo yung dapat na sa 'yo
mabait kang bata, alam kong gagawin mo ang tama, mahal na mahal kita anak, sana mapatawad mo si papa

-papa

hindi naman matapos ang pag-agos ng luha ko habang binabasa yung letter ni papa

napakatagal na ng sulat na toh
bakit ngayon kolang naisipang basahin

sinulyapan ko naman sila mommy na nakatitig lang sa 'kin

agad naman akong tumayo tsaka tumakbo papunta sa kanila
