SQUAD SERIES 1: SECRET [COMPLETED]

Chapter 23: Look-alike

DAHAN-DAHAN kong minulat ang mga mata ko at nakita ko si kuya. "Sky, how are you?" He asked and he looks tired

I smiled. "I'm fine kuya." He sighed and few minutes later pumasok sina Angela at Rica.

"Wahhhh, Sky. Are you alright?" Dinambahan agad nila ako ng yakap. "Bitawan niyo ako please hindi ako makahinga." Agad naman nila akong binitawan sa pagkakayakap at tumitili na sila ngayon.

"What happened to the both of you?" I asked habang nakataas ang kilay.

"Sawakas yung lodi namin nakita na namin sa personal kahit may mask at cap pa siya. We took a picture with her." May patalon talon pa si Angela habang si Rica hawak hawak ang cellphone nito at yinayakap ito.

"She was really a goddess Sky." Dagdag ni Rica.

"Sino ba yang idol na yan aber? Ang dami niyo kayang idol." I rolled my eyes and agad na napasimangot si Angela na tinawanan lang ni kuya.

"Si Amethyst! Yung sobrang ganda na actress sa China. Bagay na bagay sila ni Wang Xiaotong." Tili nanaman ni Rica.

"Weh? Asan?" Hindi makapaniwalang sabi ko. I saw her picture inside the twins room. She was indeed a Goddess.

"Ayan oh kaso may mask lang siya." Malungkot na saad ni Rica. Nasa bata yung attention ko ngayon.

"Sinong anak to?" I asked.

"Ito? This is Amethyst's son. He was really adorable, smart and sweet. Pero familiar ang mukha niya." Angela said and scratched her hair.

"Kuya tingnan mo this child looks familiar." Hinila ni Rica si kuya kaya napailing ito.

"Let me see." Sabi niya at natigilan sa nakita.

"He looks familiar right kuya?" I asked pero hindi sumagot si kuya. Nakatitig lang siya sa larawan ng bata. Then realization hits me ng ikumpara ko ang mukha ni kuya at ng bata.

"He looks like you kuya!" Napasinghap ako pati na rin ang dalawa.

"The heck kuya?! Anak mo ang anak ng idol namin?" Naguguluhan na tumingin si kuya sa dalawa.

"How old is her son?" He asked and I can sense that he is nervous.

"Three. He is Flint Jasper Callahan. Born in Beijing, China. His mother is Hermione Amethyst Callahan a Chinese actress. She started her career in China three years ago. Why do you ask kuya?" Tanong ni Angela.

"Shit! I gotta go. May importate lang na lakad si kuya. Girls kayo muna ang bahala kay Sky ha. Alam niyo na kung ano ang bawal sa kaniya." Kuya warned the two and they just nodded.

"I can smell something fishy. Parang may mali kay kuya ih." Sabi ko.

"Malamang nagdududa si kuya Ven na baka anak niya si Jasper. Kamukha niya ih." Tinampal ni Rica ang braso ko ng mahina.

"Let's just wait for his news." Tanging sabi ko dahil wala akong ibang masabi.

"SEARCH everything about her damn it!" Sigaw ko sa mga tauhan ko dito sa headquarters ng Bartolomes'.

"Yes boss. Base sa impormasyon na nakuha ko her son is indeed three years old and born in Beijing, China. She was eighteen when she left the country to give birth to her child." Sabi nito habang nagtitipa ng mabilis sa keyboard.

"That was four years ago." Bulong ko.

"She visited a club once. It was Hot Club, the same club you visited four years ago. Let me check the cctv inside the club." Dagdag nito na ikinabilis ng tibok ng puso ko.

What if that rumor was true? I am such a jerk if it was really true. Agad na tumikhim ang katabi ko at si Eric ay napasipol.

"Wow man. Look at how you kissed her. You looked like a hungry wolf." Napa-awang ang labi ko sa nakita. We were kissing and then entered the private room inside the club.

"Shit! Man! The rumor was true." Hindi makapaniwala na sabi ulit ni Eric.

I glared at him. "Wala kang pagsasabihan nito." He just chuckled.

"Don't worry my mouth is always zipped." Umakto itong sinara ang bibig na parang zipper.

"So, that child is indeed mine." Nakangising saad ko kaya sumipol ulit si Eric.

"Not yet ready to get married huh?" Tudyo nito sakin kaya sinapak ko siya ng mahina.

"Fuck off." He just laughed.

"Boss, this is the list of dramas Ms. Amethyst worked with many famous actors in China. She has one drama that her child is a guest. Her child became her child here in the drama. You can see it in the ending that they looked like a happy fam—" Hinampas ko ang lamesa ng napakalakas.

"Pfft. I see. You're jealous." Pinipigilan ni Eric ang tumawa.

"Stop that video, find me a photo of them instead." Galit ako pero hindi ko alam kung bakit.

"This is her photo when she gave birth. The first birthday of Jasper and then gone. Ms. Amethyst stopped posting her son's photo." Sani nito na ikinatango ko.

"Now hanapin mo ang address nila. Philippines and China." Mabilis nanaman itong nagtipa sa keyboard at sumigaw after 10 minutes.

"Heto boss. Here in the Philippines she lived inside her mother's house and in China she have her own condo enough for two people." I gave him a thumbs up and grabbed Eric to come with me.

"Sigurado akong Chinese ang lenguahe ng anak ko kaya kailangan kita." I said na ikinakunot ng nuo niya.

"Alam ko na plano mo gago!" He rolled his eyes at me and then pumasok sa kotse ko.

ILANG minuto ang byahe mula sa headquarters papunta sa bahay nila. Pipindutin ko sana ang door bell ng pigilan ako ni Eric.

"Hindi ka nila kilala." Paalala nito. I sighed. "Anong dapat kong gawin?" Ngumisi siya sa tanong ko.

"Easy. Climb the gate like a fucking theif." Napabuga ako ng marahas na hangin ng marinig ang sinabi niya.

"Sige nga anong iba mong plano?" He asked at  umiling ako.

"Then, climbing the gate it is." Nauna itong umakyat tapos sumunod ako. Hindi naman gaano kahaba ang gate nila.

"This house is not safe." Sabi ko at malakas akong sinapak nito.

"Gago! Hindi magulo ang buhay nila. Hindi gaya mo!" Napatango naman ako sa sinabi niya.

Dahan-dahan ang bawat hakbang namin ni Eric ng marinig namin sa likuran ang boses ng isang batang lalaki.

"Nǐ shì shéi? Rúguǒ nín àn xià ménlíng, wǒmen de nǚpū jiù néng wéi nǐmen liǎng gè dǎkāi dàmén, wèishéme yào pá mén ne?" Who are you? Why climb the door if you ring the doorbell and our maid can open it for the two of you?

Tinuro ako ni Eric. "Zhè shì tā de zhǔyì, bǎobèi nánhái." It was his idea, baby boy.

"Who are you?" The little boy asked.

I smiled at him before I answered his question.
"I'm someone connected to you." Kimunot ang nuo nito

"Son, where are you? It's time for your vitamins." Sigaw ng babae sa loob ng bahay.

"Coming mama." Lumingon ulit ito saakin at ngumiti. Nakatingin ako sa tumatakbo kong anak.

"Do you think kilala niya kung sino ako?" Tanong ko kay Eric na ikinatawa niya.

"I think so, because he smiled at you earlier." Sabi nito habang nagkibit balikat.

"I hope so."
