CHAPTER 63
SPIRO GRAY
WALA AKONG ibang nagawa nang pinalabas nila ako sa kwarto ni Phamela. Seeing her crying like that hurts me so much. She's crying for our lost daughter. She's crying for our Serine.
She's blaming me and I expected that already. Ni hindi ako nakaramdam ng konting galit sa mga sinabi niya sakin. Who am I to get mad? She's right. I killed Serine.
"I'm sorry, dude," Tinapik ni Garret ang balikat ko. "Stop blaming yourself." He chuckled. I closed my eyes when I heard his chuckles. I know he's being sarcastic.
"You should punch me, you know? I want to get punched." They never hurt me. Eirene just slapped me.
Dad, Mom, my siblings, Tito's and Tita's, cousins... They never hurt me physically, but the way they look at me. I know they wanted to disown me. Kyle took over the company and I am doing nothing now.
Ang alam lang ng pamilya ko ay ako ang may kasalanan pero hindi alam kung paano nawala si Serine. I'm gonna tell them the truth.
He smirked. "Napagkasunduan ng pamilya na hindi ka pwedeng saktan physically. You need to be a good father to Skyros... if you can." I gritted my teeth. "You don't know how much I wanted to stab you, bro."
They can't hurt me physically, but they're killing me emotionally. Kulang pa 'to.
Tatayo na sana ako para umuwi at para sabihin sa pamilya ko ang mga kagaguhang ginawa ko kay Phamela nang makita kong may nurse na papalapit.
"Hey, what's that?" I pointed the jar she's holding. Hindi maganda ang kutob ko sa jar. Anong laman no'n?
"Uh, this is the fetus of Phamela Ibañez po." Napakurap ako at napatitig sa jar. "Excuse me." Humarang agad ako.
"N-no, let me touch it first," Nagtataka ang nurse sa inasal ko. What the hell? Hindi ba ako kilala nito?!
"Let him. He's the father." Agad namang inabot sakin ang jar. When I get the chance to hug the jar, I almost lost my consciousness.
I fell on my knees while hugging my lost daughter. I cried harder as I whispered my sorry's. Hugging her in this way almost killed me. I don't want to hug her like this!
"Spiro," Garret tried to help me.
"No, no." I kissed the jar. "I'm so sorry, Serine," I remembered her face. "I-I'm a useless dad. I'm sorry, princess..."
"Ibigay mo na si Serine. Ipapakita siya kay Phamela."
Dahil na rin sa panghihina ay madaling nakuha sakin ang anak ko. Nakasunod ako sa nurse at pilit sinisilip ang anak kong hawak niya. I saw Phamela inside the room, still crying.
"Bro---"
"Fuck off."
Umalis ako ro'n. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta. Namalayan ko na lang ang sarili ko na nasa loob ng chapel nitong hospital.
Napatungo ako habang marahang naglalakad papasok sa loob.
It's been years or what nang huli akong mag-simba. Simula nang bumukod ako ay naging madalang ang pagsisimba ko. Nang nakila mommy pa 'ko, every Sunday nasa simbahan kami kahit gaano pa kami ka-busy.
"Maybe you did this because I lost our communication." Ako lang mag-isa sa loob ng chapel and I don't find it creepy or what. Umupo ako sa bakanteng upuan. "Are you with my daughter?"
Tears started to fell from my eyes.
"I'm sorry. Ngayon na lang ako nakipag-usap ulit. I don't know what's your plan... Bakit mo hinayaang mangyari 'to at bakit binawi mo agad si Serine?" Naisip ko bigla ang mga kagaguhang ginawa ko kay Phamela. "You want me to realize my wrong doings? By losing my daughter?"
