Pandora Catherine C. Perez
Kinagabihan ng may nangyari sa amin ni Demetrius ay agad akong nag book ng ticket patungo sa ibang bansa.
I didn't bother to inform him because before we did it I knew already that I was pregnant with his child and I don't know if he will accept it or not.
Nag desisyon akong umalis dahil ayaw kong masaktan...ayaw kong masaktan ang bata kapag lumabas na siya. Ayoko malaman niya na ayaw sakaniya ng tatay niya kaya hangga't maari ay ilalayo ko na.
Tanging si Callista at Xenia lang ang may alam kung nasaan ako. Hindi alam ng mga magulang ko at mga kamag anak namin. I disappeared for 5 years.
Nanganak ako na ang na walang sino man ang nasa tabi ko. It is a good thing that I owned a company here in U.S and I totally hid my daughter from the world.
No one knows and I thought it will stay like that forever not until one day she asked me about his dad.
"Does Dada not love me? Why isn't he here?" She said in a soft voice that actually tear my heart apart. Maybe it's time for me to accept na kahit anong mangyari ay kulang ang ina sa isang bata na gusto na buo ang kaniyang pamilya.
That's why I decided to go back in the Philippines. Ng makabalik kami ay agad akong dumiretso sa mansion nila Deme hoping that he's there but no.
He's not there but fortunately andon sila tita at tito. I introduced our daughter to them and I entrusted her sakanila.
They didn't blame me for what I did and they accept my reason they even said sorry to me. Pero si Demetrius kaya? Ano kaya ang magiging reaksyion niya?
Agad kong kinuha ang aking phone at tinext sila Callista at Xenia para sabihin na nasa pilipinas ako at papunta ako kay Demetrius.
After texting them I composed an email it is a scheduled email sakaling hindi kami magkita ni Demetrius.
I heard that he's living well then good for him.
Pag park ko ng sasakyan ay dumiretso na ako sa loob ng hospital nila. Nag tungo ako sa lobby para itanong si Deme at sinabing sa dati pa din ang office nito agad akong nag tungo 'don pero to my surprise ay si Adonis ang nakita ko.
"Why are you here?" Matalim ang tingin sa akin ni Adonis at halatang ayaw niya na nag pakita ako sakaniya.
"I am here to talk with Deme do you know where he us right now Adonis?" I tried to sound friendly.
"He's busy kung mangugulo ka lang saming dalawa ay mabuti pang umalis ka nalang masaya na kami Pandora." Anas nito.
"I am not here to ruin you two may importante lang akong sasabihin kay Deme." Kalmado kong sabi pero halatang iba ang nasa isip ni Adonis.
I was about to speak ng maunahan niya ako. "Come with me Pandora sa rooftop tayo mag-usap." Aniya kaya sumunod naman ako sa kaniya.
I followed him we took the stairs kaya ng makarating kami sa tuktok ay hingal na hingal ako sa pagod nakakaloka naman itong si Adonis may elevator naman sana.
"So what is it tell me Panodra."
"I got pregnant by Adonis she's 5 years old now I want to introduce her to his father." Hingal kong sabi.
Tumaas ang kilay ni Adonis at mukhang nagulat siya. "Are you sure that she's his child? Hindi sa ibang lalaki?"
"Anong tingin mo sa akin mag papatira kung kani-kanino?" Medyo iritado kong sabi.
Lumapit sa akin si Adonis kaya napaatras ako ng bahagya may kinuha siya sa bulsa ng white coat niya at bigla ko nalang naramdaman na parang may kumagat sa langgam sa akin.
"Hindi mo maagaw si Demetrius sa akin Panodra." Aniya at hinimas ang ulo ko. "Don't worry that's an anesthesia it won't hurt I promise."
The next ting I know is that I am stabbed my him already. Not once not twice but multiple times. How unlucky of me.
Is this how I am going to die? Is this how my life will end? I never had the chance to say goodbye to my daughter and Demetrius properly.
But I think this is my destiny and I need to accept it. I just hope that Demetrius will acknowledge our daughter so that Adonis will not be able to hurt her.
Blood started to flow on my mouth I looked at Adonis who's smiling like a psychopath and is talking but maybe because I am about to loose my consciousness I am not able to hear his words anymore.
Napahiga ako sa lapag at tinignan ang kulay asul na langit. Despite of everything I am still thankful to you Lord for bringing me to this world and for bringing my child to this world.
Thank you and it's time to return my borrowed life to you. Ah right nagdasal muna ako na sana ay maging masaya si Demetrius kasama ng anak namin at huwag sila paghiwalayin ng nangyari sa akin.
I love you both, my daughter you are my sun while Demetrius you are my world. In my next life I will still follow you i will still follow our destiny.
I am Pandora Catherine C. Perez and I failed to achieve my dream to be Demetrius M. Hernandez's wife but I achieved my goal to be the mother of her child even if it's just for a short while.
I smiled and closed my eyes.
