Your Badass

EPISODE 10: SWEET HEART’S FATHER

  Eunice’s POV

  I spent another day in Berlin, Germany before going back to United States.

  “Babies, mommy is back!” I shouted excitedly as I stepped into my mansion. I saw a cute blue and pink bunny sprinting down the stairs.

  “Mommy! I missed you!” Sweet in her pink bunny pyjamas clung to my arms excitedly as I squatted down to kiss them.

  “I missed you, mommy.” On the other hand, Heart is in his usual calm demeanor.

  “This is home!” said happily.

  “How’s your trip?” Sensei asked.

  “Everything went well.” I held Sweet Heart on my both arms and went upstairs.

  After I shower and coaxed those two to sleep I looked after Sensei in the study room for a talk. I sat before the study table.

  “Why didn’t you tell me about him?” I squinted my eyes on him.

  “It’s time for you to face him.” He said in a serious tone.

  “I don’t need anybody.” Knowing what he meant, gloom overshadowed me instantly after hearing his words.

  “Eunice, I know your capabilities but think about your children. No matter what, he is the father of Sweet Heart. You can change everything but not that, Sweetie” He patiently explained.

  “I can bring up Sweet Heart on my own.” I look in the other side in grimace.

  “The reason why you call your children Sweet Heart are because he calls you sweetheart. I don’t want to intervene but I hope you will give your children a chance to grow up with their father.”

  My face revealed a contemplative expression as thoughts raced through my mind. “I’ll tell him about Sweet Heart.”

  “What about you?”

  “I can accept him as my children’s father but not as my man.” Sadness enveloped my whole being.

   “I know he still loves you.”

  “I…but I can’t love him back.” This conversation feels like a bumble bee stinging my heart.

  “You can’t because you don’t want. Give yourself a chance to be free from the past.” Sensei touched the most sensitive part of my life. The part I don’t want to open up. The part I wanted to bury. The part I wanted to hide from the whole world.

  I stood up to head to my room. My welled up tears are trying to escape from my eyes.

  “If you don’t want him, you can always choose plan B.” He chuckled sinisterly.

  “Are you nuts?! Stop it or else I will disable your chosen chicken!” My hurt heart turned cold.

   “He likes you to the point he is not willing to marry anyone except you! Hahaha! It’s up to you sweetie, on whom will you choose but of course I would prefer you to be my granddaughter.” He laughed teasingly this time.

  “I will destroy his fantasy! I will make him impotent!” Steams are now visible in my nostrils.

  “It would be my honor if you do that. He deserves it for not showing his true feelings towards you.”

  I was dumbfounded. “Are you his real grandfather? You don’t want to see-“

  “I have Sweet Heart, what will I ask for someone useless?” He smiled in victory.

  I sneered in disbelief and left the study room. In this sleepless night, I decided to changed my clothes and hang out.

  I am wearing my black seductive outfit matched with a surreptitious mask and a black high heeled boots. E Club in Los Angeles is ostentatious of being a costly bar. Drinks can cost at least a thousand dollars. I sat quietly in the corner, brought out my sketch pad and skimmed through those expensive guys who like trouble. Some of them still have milks on their lips, some are small time gangsters and some are big-ticket commoners who want to waste time and money with babes.

  I saw a huge man flirt with a young girl and the other party which seems to be the companion of the girl, rushed to them and hit the first. Wow! This is what I’ve been waiting for! I grabbed my pen and started drawing.

  ‘A vest that absorbs power of punches! Ouch! He was hit by another guy with bachicorno! I must put some electromagnetic field to counter the attack! It must be in micro design so the user won’t be affected with electromagnetic field. I will pair it with gloves to control the flow of electricity. No, it’s a little bit out-dated. I will put sensor for the shield to be automatic!’

  I recognized the big guy to be one of the leaders of small time gangsters in this town. This rascal likes to flirt with taken girls to show his power. He’s gloating his hidden background which seemed to be a pinky finger for other costumers of this bar.

  ‘These people don’t really have guts to do something good. Tsk! Tsk! How useless!’ I enjoy the show in front of me while decorating my future gadgets.

  I was immersed in my thoughts of designing armors with my tongues out when a hand patted my back. I stood up and swiftly swing my feet to kick the chair towards the one who touched me.

  ‘I don’t want to be disturbed! I want to finish designing first before I will let him do so! Still got to draw few more designs.’

  I’m still focused on my sketchpad while my feet are being busy kicking this asshole who wants to ruin my ingenious imagination. Maybe it’s a good thing that he provoked me, I can bring out my fury to him, right? I’ve been itching to find a sparring partner for I am in a foul mood. I stopped, put the sketch pad in my pocket. An impetuous wind gushed over me. A murderous physiognomy flashed in me and I executed a perfect crescent axe kick but my feet slashed through thin air. He’s fast! I calculated the strength, speed and accuracy of my kick yet he is able to dodge my attacks. Only one person has this capability!

  “Baby, how are you? Did you miss me?” A baleful whisper rang beside my ears.
