Seducing my Baby's Father ✅

CHAPTER 36

"Dad..." nangilid ang luha sa aking mata.

"I'm tired, Syden. Let's talk some other time," aniya. Napansin ko ang mahigpit niyang paghawak sa kanyang dibdib.

"Are you okay, Dad?" habang tinitingnan ang dibdib niya.

"Yes, of course." mahinang saad niya. "I'm strong, don't worry." he assured me.

Tatlong araw ang lumipas at sa bawat araw na iyon, nakikita ko ang pag-iiba ng hitsura ni Daddy. He became thinner and weaker as the time passed by. And I'm crying every time he's telling me about him being with my mother.

Gusto niya na raw sumunod kay Mommy. But I kept on telling him not to, not yet. I don't want to lose another love of my life again. Hindi ko yata iyon makakaya.

"Pappy..." my son called him.

My father smiled weakly to my son. Sobrang nalulungkot ako dahil alam kong gusto niya nang makarga ang apo but he couldn't for he's to weak to even carry my baby.

What makes me sadder is that, tommorow will be Asher's first birthday. It is a grand birthday celebration for Asher. Everything's settled already for tommorow. Gusto ko maging masaya pero ang daya ko naman kay Daddy. He's suffering now.

"Hello, apo..." my father said.

Lumipas ang araw at ngayon ay kaarawan na ng anak ko. Only our closest friends and some elite families were invited.

The hospital didn't allow my father to attend due to serious infections. Sa labas ng bahay namin ay ginawa ang isang napakalaking playground. The birthday's theme is Smurf that's why the whole house is colored in Blue.

Naging masaya naman ang birthday celebration. Bawal ang media roon kaya kung sino man ang magpapakalat ng picture without our consent, we can take legal action against them.

At night, we let Eunice and Ethan entertain our guests. We'll be going to the hospital now, makita lang ni Daddy ang apo niya sa birthday nito.

"Mauna na muna kayo, susunod ako." si Ace.

Pinagkunutan ko siya ng noo. "Bakit?"

He raised his phone. "May tatawagan lang ako."

"Okay?" tumango-tango ako kahit may kaunting pagsususpetsa. "Follow us quickly, then."

Binuksan ko ang pinto ng kotse at bumaba na karga si Asher.

"Do you trust me?" biglang sabi ni Ace na ngayo'y nasa likuran ko na pala.

Nagulat ako. "H-Ha? Of course, Ace." ngumiti ako.

He looked at me intently before letting a sigh.

"Okay, then." he bit his bottom lip. "I love you,"

"Yeah."

Tumalikod na ako. I felt something strange and I hate it. I trust him, alright! Pero ngayon, bakit may kakaiba? Sino kaya iyong katawagan niya?

Umiling nalang ako at pumasok na sa kwarto ni Daddy. Nagulat ako dahil dilat pa rin siya hanggang ngayon. Hindi pa siya tulog, alas diyes na ng gabi, a?

"Daddy," tawag ko at nilingon naman niya ako. His eyes were swollen.

Ibinaling niya agad ang paningin sa apo niya. He extended his hand to carry Asher.

"Dad... hindi mo kaya." mahinang sambit ko.

"Let me," mahinang aniya. I let him, though. Ngumiti siya sa apo at sa akin. "Happy birthday, apo." naluluhang sambit niya.

Parang hinahaplos ang puso ko sa nakikita ngayon. I took my phone from my pocket and took a video of them. Nangilid ang luha sa aking mga mata habang pinagmamasdan sila.
