Hearts and Blood (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 39

SYLVESTER DE TIERRA

"Sylvester," tawag sa akin ni Papa. Nakauwi na kami ng Pilipinas dahil dito gaganapin ang kaarawan ni Lolo. Ilang taon din kami sa Spain lalo na ako dahil binantayan ko ang pagpapatayo ng bagong hotel namin doon.

"There's a woman claiming that you got her pregnant in short you have a three year old son," Papa said calmly but I just shook my head. It's a night here and I can smell the fresh air coming from the trees that surround us.

Nasa veranda kami ngayon dito sa mansion namin habang naninigarilyo ako. "So what did you do?" I asked him. "I requested a DNA test but she doesn't want to cooperate and keep on insisting that it's your son," sabi niya sa akin kaya natawa ako ng mahina.

"I am very much careful about it, Papa. Don't believe that woman, she just need money," I said and look over the houses that are far from us. "I gave her one million dollars in exchange of disappearance in our lives," Papa said so I nodded.

"I'll give that back to you, Papa," I siad to him and he nodded, iniwan din niya ako doon. There's no way in hell that I will impregnate someone when I only choose people who I can fuck with. I always wear a condom and making my partner drink her birth control pill in front of me. Tapos sasabihin na may nabuntis ako? Kalokohan.

I like sex big time but I am going to choose a woman who is ready to bear my child and who will become a responsible mother to my child. Lumaki ako sa buong pamilya, na may mapagalaga at responsableng ina. Gusto ko ring maranasan ang naranasan kong pagmamahal sa aking ina.

"Sylvester, tangina ang ganda ng babaeng iyon no!" sabi ni Lancelot na nakatayo sa tabi ko habang humihithit ng sigarilyo. He's telling me about women we saw in the neighborhood. "Mas maganda iyong isa," sabi ko sa kaniya.

That woman who has a long straight brown hair. She has a mole in her upper lip that added to her beauty. And she's the daughter of Alexander De Rossi, I don't know what is happening to him why he sent his daughter here to hide.

He is doing me a favor, he was the one who served his daughter on a lion's den.

"Malamang sinasabi mo iyan dahil siya ang target mo, Sylvester. Hindi ka ba natatakot na galawin iyon knowing her father?" tanong niya sa akin at umiling lang ako. "Bakit naman ako matatakot? Maniningil lang naman ako," I said to him.

"Sigaruduhin mo na hindi ikaw ang magiging talunan sa larong ito," he said meaningfully and I just shook my head saka bumuga ng usok. Pinatay ko ang sigarilyo ko saka inilagay sa ash tray na nasa harapan ko.

Sa sabado na ang kaarawan ni Lolo kaya naman puspusan talaga ang paglilinis ng mga taong nandito sa mansion namin at ang pagdadausan ng birthday ni Lolo. Kagagaling lang din namin sa isang birthday celebration ng isa sa mga malalapit sa amin dito sa Pilipinas.

"I want you to wash my car," I said to a woman who is sitting on something. She declined at first but she asked for her salary. I smiled at the back of my head, she's good at pretending huh.

Wala naman akong balak ipalinis sa kaniya ang maruming sasakyan namin pero dahil gusto ko lang gumanti sa pagtawag niya sa akin ng lampa nung isang araw. It's her fault. This bitch, malakas ang loob nitong banggain ang kahit na sino dahil alam niyang kaya siyang saluhin ng tatay niya.

But then I am watching her as she washes the dirty car. She still look attractive although tiredness is visible in her face and what amazes me, she knows how to clean a car when all her life lives in a fairytale. A gruesome fairytale to be exact.

At nung lumapit ako sa kaniya ay sakto namang pagtapat ng hose sa akin kaya tila naligo na ako. "What the hell?! Tatanga-tanga ka bang babae ka?!" singhal ko dito dahil nabasa na niya talaga ako.
