Bringing Daddy Home | Orig Ver.

Chapter 8

Kakatapos lang mag-dinner ng mag-ina at kasalukuyang nagligpit ng pinagkainan si Jennie ng biglang may nagdoorbell.

Pinagbuksan agad ni Jennie ang panauhin ng mapag-alaman niyang si Jisoo ito. Mukhang ang seryoso nito ah.

Pinatuloy ni Jennie si Jisoo dahil sabi nito may importante itong sasabihin sa kanya. Halata nga ni Jennie na importante ang balitang dalaga ni Jisoo sa itsura palang nito.

"Jennie, I found someone that matches your description except that the person lready changed her hair color" sabi ni Jisoo pagkadating nila sa sala.

She didn't even bother sitting down first.

Napalingon naman si Liam na busy sa panunuod ng TV.

"Liam baby, go to your room now" utos ni Jennie sa anak niya.

Sa ngayon kasi hindi niya pa muna gustong malaman ng bata ang tungkol kay Lisa. At isa pa gusto niyang siya muna ang makaalam ng mga bagay tungkol kay Lisa bago niya ito sabihin sa anak niya.

"Yes mom" the boy obliged.

As soon as Liam went to his room nagsimula na silang mag-usap ulit.

"While searching on the internet I found a woman named Lalisa Manoban and she perfectly fits the details you told me. And her name do sound like the name you remembered. Doesn't it make sense?" Stated the older girl.

"Really? Do you perhaps have a photo of her?" kinakabahang tanong ni Jennie.

Hindi niya nga alam kung bakit siya kinakabahan. Maybe because Lisa is like a ghost in the past that is still haunting her lalo na ngayon.

"Yes, I saved some pic from the internet. If it is really that person, I must say she's surprisingly famous that's why it wasn't hard for me to find her"

Sabi ni Jisoo saka kinuha ang cellphone sa bag niya.

Halos malaglag ang panga ni Jennie sa gulat ng makita niyang ito nga ang Lisa na nakilala niya 12 years ago. Ang babaeng may genitalia ng lalaki who happened to get her pregnant. In other words, ang nasa picture ang ama ni Liam.

"Oh my god" wala sa loob na sabi ni Jennie.

Hindi na kailangan pang magtanong ni Jisoo dahil sa reaction palang ni Jennie nasagot na ang tanong niya.

"Goodness gracious Jennie, this bastard is one hell of a rich personality. Your life would probably better if she only took responsibility of the two of you"

"Unnie, I don't need that person's money. You see, I managed to raise Liam on my own without even her shadow in our lives."

"I know, I know, I was just saying the possibility but Jennie the sad part actually is that Lisa is ready bound to be married to a girl named Chou Tzuyu" Jisoo heaved a sigh.

"See, she's already gonna be married. Liam and I doesn't stand a chance. If we show up in front of Lisa's face now, we might just mess up her life"

"You're really generous Jen, have you thought of how that Lisa ruined yours"

"Unnie it was already in the past and I don't regret having Liam now. Thanks to her"

"It's just Liam that I'm worrying about. I mean he should probably at least know what his dad looks like"

"I-I'm scared unnie, I might loose my son"

Gulong-gulo talaga si Jennie dahil sa balitang dala ni Jisoo. It's like a bomb na bigla nalang sumabog ng hindi manlang siya prepared.

"I read some articles about her by the way. I found out that she's currently residing in the Manila, Philippines though she's a full blooded Thai. It's just her business based in the country."

"Unnie why are you telling me that?"

"Just in case you want to talk to her. Even if she fled, she doesn't know about the boy yet and she's the father and she also deserves to know Liam at least."

"What if he takes Liam away from? She's going to marry someone soon and what if that woman will hurt Liam? Unnie I don't know what to do"

She's so frustrated. Gusto niyang makilala ni Liam si Lisa dahil alam niyang yun talaga ang tunay na magpapasaya sa bata pero ayaw niya namang mawalay sa kanya ang anak niya lalo na ngayon na't mag-aasawa na si Lisa siguradong walang pakialam ang taong yun sa kaniya.

Ganun din naman siya kaya lang, may part sa kanya na ayaw niyang may ibang tumayong ina kay Liam maliban sa kanya. Childish pakinggan pero ganun talaga.

Ngayon ang hirap talagang isipin kung ano bang gagawin niya. Isang wrong move lang kasi baka magbago na naman ang buhay niya.

"And unnie I only met her once, I don't even know what she's like"

"Try to do a research about her" sabi ni Jisoo.

Sa gabing yun mahaba ang pinagusapan nila tungkol kay Lisa but little did they know, Liam was just listening to them. He heard every single thing.

Liam is actually smarter than what Jennie thought. So the boy finally know who his dad is. It's Lalisa Manoban.

The 11 year-old boy spent the night doing research about Lalisa Manoban, his long lost daddy. He was so happy and very much excited to see his daddy. He badly wants to meet Lisa at walang kaalam-alam dun si Jennie dahil ang buong akala niya ay natutulog na ang bata sa kwarto nito.

Pagkatapos mag-research ni Liam tungkol kay Lisa ay kinuha nito ang tinago niyang ipon mula pa nung maliit pa siya, he knew that this day was coming kaya naghanda siya.

Naging matipid siya at halos lahat ng perang binibigay sa kanya ng mommy niya, grandparents niya, aunt Jisoo at aunt Rosé niya, mga ninang at ninong niya, mga iba niya lang kapamilya ay tinatago niya until such time na dumami ang ipon niya.

Binilang niya ang naipon niya and he searched kung magkano ba ang pamasahe papuntang Pilipinas. He smiled ng sumakto ang pera niya at may sobra pa nga.

Ibinalik niya ulit sa pagkakatago ang pera niya saka niya napagdesisyunang matulog na. He fell asleep with a big smile on his face.

He's gonna meet his daddy soon.
