"Baby Blue Eyes"

-Baby 34-

Flynn

"Hey, you okay dude?" di niya alam ilang minuto na siyang tulalang nakatayo doon.

When he felt a hard tap on his shoulder saka lang siya natauhan.

It was Kai.

"What the fuck! del Pierro what happened to you? Tulala ka pare" para itong nakakita ng alien sa hitsura.

He blinked multiple times before he gain back his composure.

"Nalugi na ba ang del Pierro's   Group of Companies at para kang wala sa sarili?" Kai asked with his usual serious signature look.

"Are you busy?" bigla niyang tanong nito mukha namang napariwara din ang buhay nitong abogado na ito eh.

"Why?" takang tanong nito.

"I need a freaking pilot" sagot nito.

"Sumakay ka ng commercial plane gago inaabuso niyo ako lagi!" itinaas nito ang middle finger sa kanya.

But later that day

Naririnig niya na nagmumura na ito habang nagpipiloto sa kaniyang private plane.

"Fucking shit! del Pierro make sure whatever you are rushing for California is a goddamn very important matter!" singhal nito sa speaker.

Nagsuot na lamang siya ng headset kaysa marinig ang nakakapangilabot na boses ni Izekaia.

•••••••

St. Magdelene Hospital

"Mr. del Pierro I am very sorry, I hope you are aware that the files you are requesting is very confidential and besides it is against the rules of this hospital" sabi ng doktora na siyang doktor ni Erin thanks to Jhanice she is very informative she need to to have a delicious treat for this.

Kung pagmasdan ang doktora ay bata pa nasa mid 30's pa ito.

Habang si Kai ay mukhang naguguluhan na sa lahat, basta lang niya ito hinihila papunta sa California at ng itinanong niya tungkol kay Erin gulat na gulat ito peru nanatili itong tahimik. He knows he had too much question running in his mind right now.

"Is that so Dra. Parker? Well I'm so sorry for asking" patay malisya siyang gumiti siya rito.

Tumango naman ito

" My friend here unfortunately suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest right bud?" bigla niyang tanong kay Izekaia na halatang mas lalong nagulat at napatitig sa kanya.

"Dra. Parker would you mind to introduce him to someoney he need  a very good cardiologist?" kung ipinta ang mukha ni Kai ngayon malamang mahihirapan ka kung tao ba siyang nagulat o gulat na tinubuan ng tao.

Mukha talaga siyang aatakehin sa puso.

Napatingin naman si Doktora Parker kay Kai.

"I know a friend his good at the heart don't worry" sabi nito at tumayo ang doktora nakisabay na din sila.

"Tangina ano bang nasinghot mo del Pierro?" paanas na tanong ni Kai sa kanya peru sabay silang ngumiti sa babaeng doktora ng lumingon ito sa kanila.

Nang pasakay na sila ng elevator ay nagdahilan siya na naiihi.

Then he goes back to Dra. Paker office and look for the documents he was looking for.

Mabuti naman at organized ang drawer ng files ni Dra. Parker nang makita niya ang V.I.P.'s ay doon niya agad ito hinanap at di nga siya  nagkamali.

Patient name:Crystalle Maxierine M. de Cuesta

His heart beat faster as he scan the files and his eyes settled on the date she was admitted and the reason of her hospitalization "Miscarriage" parang naging blurred ang lahat.

Dali-dali niyang kinuhanan ng picture ang mga documents at umalis sa opisina na iyon he don't mind anymore if it's illegal. His mind was clouded by what he discover.

Nanghihina siyang napa -upo sa pavement. Tinitigan lang niya ang documento na nasa cellphone niya. His mind do the calculation.

Erin is a virgin, and he would even cut his finger if she let another guy touch her.

She knows Erin and he knows that child she lost is him naramdaman niya ang kabog ng kanyang puso at ang sakit.

He was not there at all peru ramdam na ramdam niya ang sakit no matter what the lost child is his blood.

His heart tighten napasubsob siya sa braso niyang nakapatong sa tuhod niya.

God! What I have done?

Naramdaman niya ang pagtabi at pagtapik ng isang kamay sa kanyang balikat. Nang iangat niya ang paningin Kai looks like a shit and stressed.

Ikaw ba naman ang biglang may sakit sa puso.

"Hey...bud you get what you need?" tanong nito at sumandal na din sa pader wala na silang dalawang pakialam sa kanilang hitsura.

Kilala siya nito, kaya nakisabay na rin ito sa kanya kanina.

But he know he got a lot of questions.

"Things really fuck up sometimes right?" malungkot itong ngumiti sa kanya.

"I am more than fuck this time de Cuesta" he sincerely utter.

"Let's get wasted..."suggest nito na agad naman niyang sinang ayunan.

After an hour halos gumapang na silang dalawa ni Kai palabas sa bar. Di na niya maintindihan ang lahat umiikot na.

-Erin-

Napahawak siya sa dibdib niya. The abnormal beating is there. She doesn't expect him. Last night on the event he seems very focus on Jhanice Escabarte the well known Half Filipina journalist.

"You seems disturb cupcake" komento ni Hunter sa kanya habang nakahalukipkip ito sa hamba ng pintuan ng study room ng second floor.

"No I'm not!" depensa niya agad sabay irap.

When he walk towards her she rolled her eyes.  At tinalikuran niya ito.

"Cupcake, you can lie to everyone but not me because I know every inch of your reaction" ng lingunin niya ito he was was serious.

She surrender at his gaze that pierce her soul.

But when she look at him again she made it sure that there was no glint of emotion visible on her eyes.

"I am already done with him, tapos na akong nagpakatanga gising na ako ngayon" pahayag niya.

At nagsimula ng umalis palayo kay Hunter. He might believe it or not but she don't care at all.

Alam niya sa sarili na ang nararamdaman niya ngayon ay poot at galit na basta na lamang bumangon galing sa kanya. She thought she already forgive everyone including him but it seems that she is very wrong. Seeing Flynn means the memory  of that day, his angry and furious face, the fury and disgust in his eyes, the blood on her hands, her screams and her tremendous fear.

Seeing Flynn means remembering that nightmare.

Forgiveness?

She don't know if he deserve one,

Maybe yes or it could be no.

Masyado pang masakit ang mga nangyayari sa kanya. Kahit natuto niyang tanggapin ang pagkawala ng anak niya di ibig sabihin nun na nakalimutan na niya.

It is always there.

"You are hiding something from me Erin" seryoso parin pa lang nakasunod si Hunter sa kanya.

Hindi niya ito liningon at sinagot.

Nang hawakan nito ang braso niya at pinaharap siya rito ay nagulat itong nakita siyang umiiyak.

"Hey, why are you crying?" bahagya itong yumukod. He wipe her tears using his thumb.

"Akala ko, kaya ko. I thought I really move on..but I am still hurt Hunter,  ang sakit sakit parin" humihikbi niyang pahayag niya at agad naman siyang yinakap ng lalaki.

He doesn't say anything he just hug her.

Habang siya ay patuloy na umiiyak.
