Chasing Love

Chapter Nine

Chapter Nine

I was staring at nowhere while holding a glass of wine. Kakatulog lang si Nami ngayon, pero marami pa akong babasahing kaso. But I can't focus, because of a woman named Maia.

Clearly, I don't want her, I don't like her. She's too immature for somethings and were capable of. Magkaiba kami. And even though April said that I should be happy without her, hindi kay Maia iyon. Yes, I did fuck her, but it was just a spur of the moment. Lalaki ako!

Nilagok ko ang wine at bumuntong hininga. Maybe I should really avoid her, hindi maganda sa pang araw araw na buhay ko si Maia.

Hindi ako araw araw nasa opisina ng mga Saavedra, at dahil nakabalik na ako sa Law Firm hati na ang oras ko, pati kay Nami. As much as possible, I wanted to stay my daughter next to me.

"I needed to fetch up my daughter." Paalam ko sa mga kasamahan ko.

"Sige! Ingat Atty. Dizon."

Binuhat ko ang attaché case at mabilis na sumakay sa sasakyan ko. I was damn late, nagtext lang si Mama na nasa bahay na daw sila ni Nami. Immediately headed there.

Kinakalas ko ang necktie ko habang papasok sa loob ng bahay. I halted upon Seeing Maia went out of the kitchen. She smiled at me.

"Hi."

"What are--" naputol ang sasabihin ko nang sumunod na lumabas si Mama. "Ma."

"Anak. Nandito ka na pala." Nilapitan ko sya para halikan sa pisngi. "Oh, this is Maia. She's a friend of Nami, nakita ko kasing magkausap sila sa labas ng school so I invited her for a dinner."

Marahang tumungo si Maia pero nakangisi sya.

"It was a pleasure to meet you again, Atty. Dizon."

Pinasadahan ko sya ng tingin, she's wearing that tight skirt again and her tube top. Get ahold of yourself, Crime.

"Where's Nami?" I looked away.

"She's inside her bedroom, gumagawa ng assignment."

"Akyatin ko lang, Ma."

"Sige, malapit na matapos itong niluluto namin."

Umakyat ako at dumiretso sa kwarto ni Nami. She squealed upon seeing me.

"Hi love."

"Daddy! I had Tita Maia in our house." Nilapit nya pa ang mukha nya sa akin. "She has the same eyes as Mommy."

"Talaga? Namiss mo si Mommy lalo?"

"Bait Tita Maia."

"Finished your assignment. We'll be having our dinner."

"Opo."

Iniwan ko si Nami sa kwarto nya para pumasok sa kwarto ko. Dumiretso ako sa shower dahil alam kong delikdo ako. Fuck Maia, she's a freaking tease. Saktong natapos ako sa banyo nang kinatok ako ni Nami, binuhat ko ang anak ko pababa.

Nakikipagtawanan si Mama kay Maia habang nag hahain sila sa hapag. I scoffed upon looking at her. I knew her as a bitch eversince I met her. Pakitang tao lang ba to?

Madami silang napagkwentuhan ni Mama habang kumakain kami. Inasikaso ko naman ang anak ko at nakinig sa pinag uusapan nila.

"Saavedra ka pala no?"

"Yes po."

"That's good to hear hija. Kamusta naman? You had your work na?"

"Opo. Executive assistant po."

"Legal advisor si Crime ng Saavedra. What a coincidence."

Maia smiled at my mother. Tinanong din sya ni Nami. After we finished eating, nag offer si Mama na sya na ang magliligpit dito.
