My Nemesis' Son Chapter 20 (Part 1)
Karina’s POV“Hi, Baby!” malambing na bati ni Ms. Galdon sa anak kong si Eli. Ngumiti rin sa kaniya si Eli at agad na nagmano rito. “Hello po, Auntie,” Eli greeted her nicely. “How are you, Baby? Do you miss hanging out with me?” Napatango naman si Eli roon. Looks like sobrang dalas nga nilang magsamang dalawa kapag nagtutungo si Eli sa bahay ng Cuizon. “Tita misses you too.” Eli immediately smile on what Ms. Galdon said. Ms. Galdon even whisper to my son, making Eli giggle before nodding at her. “Really, Auntie? Are we going to buy a set today?” Eli excitedly ask. I curiously look at the two of them subalit mukhang wala ring balak si Eli na ipaalam sa akin ang tungkol doon lalo na’t they are just whispering with each other. Napabuntonghininga na lang ako. I have been busy for days na bigla’y pakiramdam ko hindi ko na nababalingan ng atensiyon ang anak. I was starting to feel bad nang maramdaman ko ang kamay ni Adi na nakahawak na sa aking kamay. “What are you thinking?” he ask

Karina’s POVNang maiwan kaming dalawa ni Mrs. Cuizon, para bang bigla na lang nagyelo ang paligid. She looks like she doesn’t want to talk to me too kaya napakibit na lang din ako ng balikat. I’d rather have a cold treatment than hear an insulting words from her. “You can take the order, I’ll wait there. I’m already tired,” she coldly said to me. Pinanood ko lang siyang nagtungo sa isang table mula sa malayo. This is where Eli wants to eat kaya nandito kami, people will take their own order but because we are a regular customer here, I just called a waiter bago nagtungo sa upuan kung saan umupo si Mrs. Cuizon. She looks annoyed at me but I just smile.“I thought you’ll take the order?” she asked. “Yes, Ma’am, I asked for the waiter,” ani ko na ibinaba lang din ang bag sa upuan. Magkatapat pa kaming dalawa kaya hindi nakatakas sa akin ang pag-irap niya. Hindi ko naman pinatulan pa ‘yon. Hindi na dapat pang bigyan ng oras ‘yon. Tahimik lang akong sumimsim sa inumin ko bago naglabas n

Karina’s POV“Do you want a dessert, Eli?” nakangiting tanong ni Aliyah kay Eli. Agad namang napatango si Eli roon.“Yes po, Auntie.” Instead of giving it to Eli, she just spoon-fed him. Nanatili lang akong tahimik habang pinapanood sila.“Come here, Eli, I’ll wipe the food on your mouth.” Pinanood ko lang kung paanong punasan ni Aliyah ang mukha ni Eli kahit hindi pa ito tapos kumain. “Aliyah, can we talk after we eat?” tanong ko kay Aliyah bago tipid na ngumiti. I just can’t really take it at all if I won’t talk. Bahagyang napatingin sa akin si Aliyah. May pagtataka sa kaniyang mukha subalit unti-unti ring napatango. Halos lahat sila’y napatingin sa akin. Hindi naman na ako nagsalita at nagpatuloy na lang sa pagkain. After a while ay natapos din kaming kumain. Nagkukwentuhan na si Adi at Eli nang tumayo kami ni Aliyah dahil nga gusto ko siyang kausapin. Both of us went to the bathroom para mag-ayos din. “What is it, Karina?” tanong ni Aliyah nang magsimula kaming mag-ayos habang

Karina’s POV“I’m sorry for what I said earlier,” I said to her. “No, I understand that you don’t want me beside your son’s side. That you are not comfortable seeing me with him but still, napalapit na sa akin si Eli…” aniya. Napaawang ang labi ko roon. I didn’t said that. Kita ko ang pagtingin sa akin ni Eli at ng Mommy ni Adi. Agad ko ring nakitang papalapit sa aming gawi si Adi. “You don’t want her to be at Eli’s side, Karina? Eli likes his Auntie. I know that you don’t like our family but why would you say that?” tanong naman ng Mommy ni Adi habang nakatingin sa akin ngayon. “That’s not it po… I didn’t said something like that.” Kumunot pa ang noo ko dahil para bang bigla akong na-corner dito. “It’s okay. I understand your point but I can’t just do what you want. I like hanging out with Eli,” she said again. I know she’s offended and maybe she’s taking it that way kaya napabuntonghininga na lang ako. Ako naman talaga ang mali kaya ako na rin ang humingi ng tawad patungkol doon
My Nemesis' Son Chapter 22 (Part 1)
Karina’s POV“Alright… Enjoy hanging out with your Lola and Lolos, Mahal,” sambit ko kay Eli nang makitang naghahanda na siya sa papunta kina Mrs. Cuizon. It’s Sunday today at ihahatid na siya ni Adi.“Ihahatid ko na si Eli. May bilin ka ba?” tanong sa akin ni Adi nang dumaan sa gawi ko.“Wala naman. Ingat kayo,” ani ko na ngumiti sa kaniya. He stare at me for a while. Adi’s always trying to make me comfortable sending Eli to their home. He always thinks about Eli and my feelings. I appreciate it too. Alam ko naman kung gaano kahirap to come in between. “Hmm, anything you want once I come home?” he asked. “I can buy it, you know,” ani ko na ngumisi pa sa kaniya. Napanguso siya roon. “I know you can but still, I want to buy you one,” aniya kaya napaisip ako. “I’m craving for a sushi today,” I said kaya napatango siya sa akin. “See you later,” he said before waving his hands. Sumunod na rin kay Eli na excited na nagtungo sa sasakyan. He’s so excited hanging out with his cousins in

Karina’s POVNi hindi ko na namalayan ang oras habang nakikipagkwentuhan kay Keanu. He was really nice at talagang totoong fan nga siya ng mga disenyo ko. “How did you know that it’s me?” tanong ko. “Hmm, your clothes. I’m your Daddy’s ambassador on his wine’s brand. Nirereto ka ng Mommy mo sa akin na pinakita niya pa ang ig feed mo sa akin.” Hindi ko alam kung matatawa o mahihiya ako roon. Basta ang alam ko’y ramdam ko na agad ang pamumula ng mukha. “I’m sorry about that. They just really wants me to have a boyfriend but I’m not really looking for one right now,” ani ko. “I figure that out. You are a career woman and probably a lot of guys are intimidated to date you,” he said while laughing. Nailing na lang ako roon dahil ganoon madalas ang nangyayari o ‘di naman kaya’y I just lost interest. We just talk about random things. Hindi ko akalain na talaga ngang marami kaming mapagkakasunduan because he genuinely like clothes. Nabanggit niya na he usually do runways na talagang pato
My Nemesis' Son Chapter 23
Karina’s POV“Eli, can you ask your Mom if she’s already done eating?” malambing na tanong ni Adi kay Eli kaya agad akong napatingin sa kaniya. Agad na kumunot ang noo ko dahil puwedeng-puwede niya namang itanong ‘yon sa akin subalit bandang huli’y si Eli pa talaga ang inutusan niyang magtanong. He's acting up again. Simula noong nagtungo rito si Keanu ay malamig na ang trato niya. Kung puwede lang hindi niya ako kausapin ay hindi niya talaga gagawin. Napakaarte. Of course, sino ba namang hindi maiinis sa pagiging maldita mo, Karina?Flashback“Why would I care about you? I don’t even like you or anything. Kahit ilang babae pa ang ma-link sa ‘yo’y wala akong pakialam. You can do whatever you want. Huwag mo lang pakialaman ang mga desisyon ko sa buhay.” He smirk at me dahil sa aking sinabi. He looks like he was mocking me. “Really, huh?” Padabog niya nang kinuha ang kaniyang mga gamit at iritadong umalis. End of FlasbackAnd now, he’s really acting like I’m not existing on his eyes.
My Nemesis' Son Chapter 24
Karina’s POV“Oh, well, araw-araw naman war ang dalawa, Mayor. World war III nga lang ata ngayon,” pang-aasar nila sa amin ni Adi subalit hindi namin magawang matawa at makisabayan sa mga ito. Formal lang akong nakaupo nang maayos habang nagkukunwari lang na abala. Nakita ko rin sa gilid ng aking mata si Adi na siyang inabala rin ang sarili sa ginagawa but still tried to be casual with the people in the table. Matagal ang naging meeting, halos buong umaga ata ‘yon. Nang matapos ay kasabay na rin naming mag-lunch sina Mayor. Bahagyang napataas ang kilay ko nang makitang nilagyan ng water ni Adi ang tubig ko. “Thanks,” I casually said na akala mo’y hindi kami nagtatalo kaninang umaga. Napatikhim lang ang mga kasama namin bago napatawa nang mahina. I didn’t say anything. I was just silent while eating. Kausap namin ang lahat sa table maliban lang sa aming dalawa. We are trying to avoid each other. Malas pa dahil kinailangan naming magtungo sa site ng kami lang. We are still working
