My Nephew's Father (Completed/Unedited)

Chapter 8

Zeke's POV

"What brings you here, Sage?" I ask him.

"Visiting you if you're still breathing after what happened last night," he answered and sip his coffee.

"And when the hell you became the second version of Akane?" I ask.

"Well, all of us are worried about you, Zek." Seryoso nitong Sabi. "We know you. You still have feelings for her." Dagdag nito.

"I'm not a child that you need to check anytime, Sage," I said. "I'm old enough to handle myself."

"You're right. But when it comes to her. You're losing control. Aminin mo man at sa Hindi even though how you tried to hurt her to make her feel the pain you felt. At the end ikaw pa rin talo. Why? Dahil doble Ang sakit na nararamdaman mo sa tuwing nakikita mo siyang nasasaktan."

"If you're here to say that. The door is wide open for you." I said.

"Just only one question for you, Zek. Do you love her?" He asks seriously.

"That's nonsense," I answered and look at him sharply.

"Your reactions tell. And you can't hide it from us." He said.

Napatigil Ang aming pag-uusap Ng may kumatok sa pinto at iniluwa si Mellisa sa likuran nito Ang aking sekretarya.

"Good morning, my love." Nakangiti nitong Sabi at diritsong pumasok patungo sa aking kinaroroonan.

"Ana, what did I tell you?" Galit kong tanong.

"S-sorry sir. " Natatarangtang humingi Ito Ng paumanhin.

"Don't blame your secretary, Zek." Pahayag Ni Sage. "Aalis na ako." Pahayag nito at umalis. "Go back to your post, Ana. Don't mind that man." Rinig ko pang pahayag nito sekretarya ko bago sinara ang pinto.

"Honey."

"Get out." Sabi ko.

"Zeke."

"I said get yourself out of my office, Mellisa."

"No, I won't." Galit din na sigaw nito.

"Don't push me to my limit, woman."

"Honey, I'm sorry. Look I bring food...."

"I'm not hungry," I said rudely.

"Ganito na Lang ba tayo, Zeke? Mahal Kita."

"You don't love me. You're just sick."

"I'm not sick, Zeke. Bakit ba lahat kayo ganyan Ang sinasabi sa akin?" Galit na sigaw nito.

"Ikaw na Lang Yung natira sa akin. Pls. Huwag mo Rin akong iwan katulad ng ginawa Ni Kuya. Inagaw na siya sa akin nina Feliz. Hindi ako makakapayag na pati ikaw agawin din Ng babaeng iyon sa akin." Umiyak na pahayag Niya at niyakap ako.

I get her hands off to me.

"No one will steal me from you because from the start you don't own me, Mellisa. I'm not the right man for you. You don't deserve me and I don't deserve you either." Pahayag ko sa kanya.

"You're just the one who can help yourself."

Dagdag ko bago bumukas Ang pinto at iniluwa ang dalawang bodyguards.

"Get her out of my office. And don't let her in my building, again." Pahayag ko.

"No, Zeke. Pls. Don't do this to me." Nagmamakaawa niyang sabi.

"Have a treatment, Mellisa. You need to see your doctor to get rid of that OCD. You need psychological therapy."

"I'm not crazy to have that therapy, Zek."

"Your obsession became worst. That therapy will help you to get out of your past." I said before my men drag her out.

After that stress akong na upo sa swivel chair at niluwagan Ang aking necktie.

Zalliyah's POV

"How's your school baby?" Tanong ko Kay Zaiden na kararating Lang nila Ni manang.

"I got a perfect score on our quiz Mommy." Proud nitong Sabi sa akin.

"Wow, that's great," I said smilingly and give him a hug and kiss. "What do you want?" I ask him.

"Cookies." Nakapout nitong sagot.

"Mommy will make cookies for my handsome son, then," I said.

"Pero tutulong po ako." Cute niyang sabi.

"Gusto mo ring matutong mag bake?" Ngiti Kong tanong sa kanya na kanya namang ikinatango.

"Kung ganun kailangan mo nang magbihis kasi magbibake Tayo" pahayag ko na ikinatawa Niya.

"Yey! Thank you, mommy." Pasasalamat nito sa akin at patakbong umakyat sa Taas.

"Be careful, sweetie. You don't need to hurry." Sigaw kong Sabi bago sumunod sa kanya.

Pagpasok ko Ng kanyang silid nakita ko siyang excited na nagbibihis.

"Mommy, Tara na po." Pahayag Niya sa akin at inakay ako palabas Ng room Niya.

"Akala ko pa Naman tutulungan pa Kita sa pagbibihis." Sabi ko sa kanya na kanyang ikinatigil at humarap sa akin.

"Mommy, I'm big na po." Pahayag Niya. "Kaya ko na pong alagaan Ang sarili ko." Dagdag niya.

"Time flies so fast. You're growing up. I'm sure your mommy Zalliyah is happy seeing you right now." Ngiti Kong Sabi sa kanya. "Well, halika na. Let's start doing your cookies." Natatawa Kong dagdag. "How many do you want bah?" I ask.

"20 po. Kasi I want to bring some for my friends tomorrow." Ngiti niyang sagot.

"Then let's make it 30." Pahayag ko na ikinatawa Niya.

"Manang pls. prepare the ingredients we need. Gagawa kami Ni Zaiden Ng cookies." Pahayag ko Kay manang Ng nakarating kami sa kusina.

"Are you ready nah?" Tanong ko sa kanya na kanyang ikinatango.

Binuhat ko siya at pinaupo sa stall.

Kinuha ko Ang apron na maliit na kasya sa kanya at ipinasuot Ito.

Zeke's POV

"What's happening here?" Tanong ko Ng makapasok sa bahay at napansin Kong Ang tahimik nila sa Sala.

"Si Jessy umuwi because of emergency." Pahayag Ni mom.

"You don't need to worry about me." Pahayag Ni Lola.

I put my attached case on the vacant couch and sit there.

"Si dad?"

"He's on his way. May inasikaso Kasi siya kanina." Sagot Naman Ni mom.

"Then let's find someone we can trust to take of grandma." I said.

"Ayaw ko Ng iba." Pahayag bigla Ni Lola.

"Grandma, you need someone to assist you. Hindi Naman palagi si mommy manatili sa tabi mo because she's busy."

"If it's not Jessy then no need to hire someone to replace her. I don't want others will take care of me."

Napahilot ako sa aking sintido.

This is one of the problems for Grandma. Matigas Ang ulo Niya minsan. Ayaw niyang pagsabihan.

"Mom, your apo is right. We need someone t....."

"If mapilit talaga kayo. Sige. I know someone I can trust to be with me. To take care of me." Nakangiting Sabi Ni Lola sa Amin.

"Who's that? We're going to meet her tomorrow." Tanong ko.

Nakangiting bumaling sa akin si Lola na akin namang ikinataka. "It's Zally." Pahayag niya na ikinagulat namin.

"Grandma, your mouth. Why did you say bad word?" Pabirong pangangaral Ni Akane Kay Lola na kararating Lang at lumapit ito sa

kanya. "Ouch, grandma. Ang sakit." Pahayag Niya Ng hinampas siya nito Ng baston.

"And when did Zally's name become a bad word, Akane?" Tanong ni lola sa kanya habang tinapunan siya nito Ng tingin.

"That question has an obvious answer Po." Sagot Ni Akane.

"Mom, you can pick someone you want but not that woman." Pahayag Ni mommy at sumulyap sa akin bago tumingin Kay Lola.

"My decision is final, Ayami. I want Zally. Only her. Hindi naman big deal sa iyo iyon diba, Apo?" Baling Ni Lola sa akin na ikinatingin nilang lahat sa direksyon ko.

Akane looks at me seriously while mom is worriedly looking at me.

"We meet her earlier and she became more beautiful." Pahayag Ni Lola na aking ikinatingin Kay mom na parang nagtanong.

"Well, I think this conversation is done. See you at our dinner." Pahayag Ni Lola at inalalayan siya Ni Akane na makatayo.

"I can walk by myself, Kane." Ngiting Sabi Ni Lola at umalis patungo sa kanyang silid.

"Ante, what's that? Anong nangyari?" Tanong bigla Ni Akane.

"Jessy takes an emergency leave until her mother will be ok," Mom answered him.

"Insan?"

"We don't have a choice," I said na ikinalaglag panga Ni Akane.

"Wt*, you're talking Zek?" He asks seriously.

"I'm thinking about Lola's condition here. We can't risk," I said. "We can't give her stress, Akane. And you're aware of that." I add.

"And how about you?" Mom worriedly asks.

"She's my past mom. Nothing to worry about." I said. "Pasok muna ako sa kwarto." Dagdag ko at umalis.

"Grandma Naman eh. Napaka insensitive." Rinig Kong Sabi Ni Akane.

"Your mouth, Akane." Paalala sa kanya Ni mom.

"Hhhh sorry ante. Pero totoo Po iyon." Huling rinig ko bago tulyang umakyat sa hagdan.
