Seducing my Baby's Father ✅

CHAPTER 5

Chapter 5

"I love you, baby." I uttered as I kissed my baby's forehead to bid goodbye. Hinarap ko si Eunice. "Nalista na ba ang lahat ng kakailanganin kong bilhin?"

Tumango lang siya at kinuha sa lamesa ang isang papel bago ibigay sa akin. She's carrying my baby. Inabot ko ang papel at saka binasa at tumango.

"Thank you."

Nakipag-beso beso ako sa kanya. Yumuko ako para hagkan ang anak ko bago umalis.

"Mommy's going na, don't make tigas ulo to your Tita, hmm?" I pinch its little nose.

Ngumiti ako. I bid my goodbye to Eunice before leaving. I'm heading to the super market now to buy some groceries for tomorrow.

Bukas ang ika anim na buwan since I gave birth to my baby. Every month, we celebrate it the same day in the month. Tatlo lang kami including me, Eunice and of course, Asher. Nakasanayan na rin.

Bumuntong hininga ako. My boy is growing so fast. Mas na-depina ang magandang feature nito which exactly has its father's face. I conclude, when he grows old enough, he's gonna be a carbon copy of his father.

Pinilig ko ang ulo nang biglang lumampas na ang iniisip ko. I should not think of him, I'm not yet a hundred sure if he really is my baby's father. The moment his eyes locked to mine, seemed like he didn't know me.

Bumuntong hininga ulit ako at saka i-p-in-ark na ang kotse nang mapagtantong nakarating na ako. Lumabas ako sa kotse while reading the notes Eunice gave me.

Nang makapasok na ako sa SM, agad akong naghanap ng mga lettering stuff. I'm so grateful 'cause my accounts were now back, hindi na ako mangangapa pa sa paghahanap ng pera.

I was grounded back then and my father black listed me to almost a hundred of jobs. Two months when I figured out I was pregnant, mas lalo akong na-stress. Buti nalang at nariyan lagi si Eunice. She had me lived in one of her own buildings without any charges.

Sobrang laki ng utang na loob ko kay Eunice, she's even the one who always takes care of my baby everytime I'm out. Ewan ko lang talaga kung wala ang kaibigan kong iyon.

Nang may makita akong mga lettering, agad akong namili ng design. I chose the one there whose design is Peterpan and Wendy. Flowers are everywhere.

'Happy 6th Month living my little angel' iyan ang nasa letra.

I added it to my cart. Sunod kong pinuntahan ay ang mga ingredients for desserts. Gagawa ako ng macaroni, salad, mango float at marami pang iba. Inilagay ko sa cart lahat ng kakailanganin ko.

For the last note, cake. Itinabi ko muna ang cart ko malapit sa counter. I looked at the cashier there.

"Miss, pakibantayan 'tong akin. May hahanapin lang ako."

Tumango naman ang cashier. I turned around and looked for my phone. I checked an app and looked if there's a cake with four layers, and of course with a kiddy design.

When I found one, I tapped the buy button and then the check mark popped. I smiled. Inangat ko ang paningin, kailangan ko pa pala bumili ng balloons. I took a step to look for balloons.

Pero ganoon nalang akong natigilan nang may mahagip ang aking mata. My heart was beating so fast as our eyes met. The man, with his gray shirt and cyan blue khaki pants, was looking at me with his usual intimidating stare.

I swallowed hard. I was nailed on my position. I couldn't hear anything but the loud beating of my heart each passing second. Napayuko ako when I realized I shouldn't be like this.

"Ace Caspian..." bulong ko. Inangat ko ang paningin at nakitang hinakbang niya ang pagitan namin.

Ngayon ay nasa harapan ko na siya. Napalunok ako nang ilang beses nang makita ang mabalasik nitong anyo habang matamang nakatitig sa 'kin.

"Are you following me?" mahina pero mariin nitong wika.

My lips parted a bit. What?! Sumulyap ako sa paligid, baka sakaling may nakatingin sa amin. Nakahinga ako nang maluwag nang makitang abala ang mga tao kakabili ng kung ano.

Hinarap ko si Ace at saka sinamaan ng tingin. "Excuse me? And why the hell would I follow you?"

"Bakit, hindi ba? There's only one reason why you're here, you're following and stalking me. And now that I saw you, you're denying it." sabi niya sa nang-aakusang tinig.

Naiinsulto akong tumawa. Mad, I glared at him. Annoyance and anger were visible on my face. Ang taas nga naman ng tingin niya sa sarili niya!

"Ang kapal din ng muka mo to accuse me such thing? I didn't expect that you have that delusional conclusions, mister. Ang kapal mo! Ang kapal kapal!" mariing sabi ko.

"Ha! Ako pa ang makapal? Sino ba sa atin ang halos ibigay na ang puri at ibenta ang katawan para sa pabagsak na kompan-"

I slapped him, really hard. Tumabingi ang mukha niya at saka ako hinarap sa mabalasik at galit na paraan. I trembled at my position. My hands were shaking as I glanced the people around.

They're now looking at our direction. Uminit ang pisngi ko. Halo halong emosyon ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. Pinanlisikan ko ng mata ang lalaking kaharap.

"Yes. I admit I'm seducing you but don't you think too much. I'm just doing this for you to lie low and sign the deal, it's the only way I can do, though. But honestly, it's against my will. I was just forced so bear with it 'cause I'd seduce you until you give in to me." I said, coldly.

Bumalatay ang gulat sa mga mata niya kahit na seryoso ang ipinapakita niyang expression.

Tumalikod na ako at doon tumulo ang mga luha sa aking mata. We're the central of attraction now but hell, I don't give a damn.

Gusto ko nang umuwi. God! I need my son right now.

Matamlay akong umuwi pabalik sa condo unit ko. Dala ang mga kakailanganin bukas, walang ganang pumasok ako sa unit at bumungad si Eunice na nagpapatulog kay Asher.

Sobrang hapdi ng mga mata ko kakaiyak habang nagmamaneho. Hindi ko alam kung bakit tila dinaramdam ko lahat ang sinabi ng lalaking iyon. I shouldn't be affected... but damn... I could't help it.

His words were damn hurt. Sagad sa buto, masakit. But I couldn't blame him, totoo naman iyon, e. Inaakit ko siya to make him sign the deal. Bakit ba ako nag-iinarte rito?!

"Oh? Umiiyak ka?"

Kilala talaga ako ni Eunice. I sighed and put down the things I bought to the near kitchen.

Bumalik ako at kinarga si Asher. Bumuka buka pa ang mga mata nito pero ramdam kong matutulog na. I kissed the tip of the nose of my baby, doon ay tumulo ulit ang luha sa aking mata.

"Syden, what happened?"

Nilingon ko si Eunice. Mapait akong ngumiti.

"Just met my baby's father. Got a little argument then... reached to the point that I couldn't take his foul words." naluluhang sagot ko. Lumapit siya sa akin at hinagod ang likod ko.

"I feel your pain but... Syden, huwag mo nang dibdibin." sabay sulyap nito sa natutulog ko nang anak. "Kaya ka flat chested, e."

Umarko ang kilay ko at matalim na tumingin kay Eunice. Umismid ako at tinarayan siya. I glared at my boobs and faced her.

"Excuse me? I am not." maarteng wika ko. Tumawa siya.

"Joke 'yon. Eto naman, pinapatawa lang kita."

"And it's more like you're insulting me. Mukha mo, joke!"

"Luh. Grabe siya. Mukha ko? Maganda. Pero siyempre mas maganda ka."

Naiiling nalang ako sa kaibigan. Pinagmasdan ko si Asher na payapang natutulog sa bisig ko.

Looking at him, I remember that bastard's face. Damn it.
