Rayne Antonio: The Sugar Baby Kabanata 31
I don't know how I fell asleep that night, Althea's question to me kept coming back to my mind. Minsan hindi ko maintindihan ang trip niya, una tinanong niya kung nanliligaw sa akin si Lucas. Tapos, tatanungin niya tungkol sa nararamdaman ko sa lalaki na yun.What does she really want to know?Gusto niya bang malaman kung mahal ko pa ang manloloko na iyon?I woke up late, that's why I wasn't able to eat breakfast.Nauna pang magising si Ryker sa akin kaya naman kinuha na siya ni Ate Lindy upang pakainin. Hindi ko na nagawang magpaalam kay Althea dahil mukhang tulog pa ito. Nasabi din naman niyang wala siyang lakad ngayong araw kaya nag-prisinta na siyang bantayan si Ryker."Ate Lindy, mauna na po ako. Kayo na pong bahala dito." tumango lamang ito.Filipino si Ate Lindy kaya naman nagkakaintindihan kaming dalawa. Lucas recommended her to me, she just came here to America to look for a job, luckily she ended up here with us. Tiwala ako na maalagaan niya si Ryker para na rin niya itong

"Rayne! Hoy, Rayne!"Napakurap-kurap ako."B-Bakit?""Sino bang tinitignan mo at tulala ka diyan?" tumingin pa ito sa direksyon na tinitignan ko ngunit ng bumaling ako doon ay wala na ang bulto ng lalaki.I sighed heavily.Siguro nga namamalikmata lang ako, imposible naman sigurong narito siya."W-Wala yun." kinakabahang tugon ko at inaya ko na siya na puntahan si Ryker.Kahit na nawi-weirduhan siya sa inasta ko ay sumunod naman siya ng hilahin ko. Ayokong ng malaman niya kung sino ang tinitignan ko kanina. Para akong nabunutan ng tinik sa dibdib ng makita na nawala ang lalaki na iyon, ayokong makumpirma kung siya nga iyon o hindi.Mas gusto kong paniwalaan na wala siya lugar na 'to.Mas gusto ko na hindi niya kami makita ng anak ko.Iwinaksi ko sa aking isipan ang nakita ko at nag-enjoy na lang sa lakad namin. I don't want to give them something to think about and end up talking about that person. After we went shopping, we took Ryker to the playstation and he was very happy while pla

"Ate Lindy, sino po yung kausap niyo kanina?" I couldn't stop asking that after we got into my car.I just waited a few minutes and hid so that Conrad wouldn't see me. May dala siyang maleta, mukhang pauwi na rin ito sa Pilipinas at ganung oras din ang kanyang flight. Mabuti na lang at hindi kami nagpang-abot noong inihatid ko sila Althea kanina.Ilang minuto lang din naman ay umalis na rin ito doon, saglit silang nag-usap ni Ate Lindy at wala akong ideya kung ano ang pinag-usapan nila."Uh, yun ba si sir? Kababayan natin, Rayne kay gwapo 'nu? Nadaanan lang kami ni Ryker at natuwa sa bata." masayang kwento nito.Gwapo, huh?Don't tell me, may crush na si Ate Lindy sa kanya? Hindi pa rin talaga nagbabago ang appeal niya pagdating sa mga babae.Natuwa siya kay Ryker? Yun ba yung lukso ng dugo na tinatawag nila. Sana naman hindi niya makita ang pagkakahawig namin ni Ryker at magkaroon siya ng ideya.It's good that he went home, so I won't have to think about anything. Mas mapapanatag ang

"[Damn! Babe, sana pala hindi muna ako umuwi. I didn't know you were a model now.]" napa-iling na lang ako sa naging reaksyon ni Althea matapos kong i-model ang mga gawa kong damit.Actually, I didn't expect those photos to turn out like that. Hindi ko akalain na magugustuhan ito ng lahat, dahil hindi naman ako sanay sa ganung bagay."[I need to that for my business, at wala lang yaun. Ano ka ba?]" I said as I continue what was I doing.Magka-video call kaming dalawa kaya nakikita ko ang reaction niya. She is scrolling through is IPad, browsing the uploaded photos of me wearing my design. I didn't do anything but put on the clothes I made and pose in front of the camera.We only posted it on our page but with the number of people who shared it, many people saw it and this design was actually sold out immediately after it was uploaded. I'm happy that I received only positive comments and reactions, more people are making clothes for me because of that.I accept others because I have a

"[Okay, Tita, we'll just go there later. See you, Tita.]" after that I immediately hung up.On the second day of my return back here in the Philippines, I really felt very happy. We all had dinner at our condo unit and I really missed all the Filipino food. Sa sobrang pagka-miss ni Althea sa akin ay hindi na siya umuwi ng condo unit niya at doon na nag-palipas ng gabi.We just talked all night until we reached dawn so we woke up almost late this morning.After mag-breakfast ay dumiretso naman siya papasok ng kanyang opisina at mukhang naibalita na niya kay Tita Athena ang pagdating ko dahil kaagad na tumawag sa akin si Tita. She invites us to their house for dinner, and also so that she can meet Ryker in person.I'm also excited to see Tita Athena again, and for her to finally meet Ryker.I was in Riri's car that I borrowed for a while because I had to go somewhere. She bought it when she got her first salary. Ayaw niya kasing tanggapin ang ibinibigay ko sa kanya dahil sobra-sobra na

"Do you really need to go there?" Althea asked repeatedly as she followed me into my room.She was asking that almost everyday she went here to our condo unit and I always gave her the same answer.Pupunta ako sa party na iyon. Not because I wanted to see that man, but to see with my own eyes how happy they were during the times when I was struggling.Isa pa hindi naman ako manggugulo e, I just want to be there.I sat on my bed and massage my head."You're always asking that for about one week now. Hindi ka pa ba napagod? "She lock the door between us para walang maka-rinig sa aming pag-uusap.Humarap siya sa akin na naka-pamaywang."Dahil hindi mo rin ako sinasagot for almost one week!" I can felt her frustration. "Ano ba talagang plano mo, huh?"Napa-irap ako sa tanong niya.I already answered it, the first time she asked that. Kung akusahan niya ako parang may gagawin akong masama? Ni pananakit sa pisikal na paraan hindi ko nagawa sa buong buhay ko. Ngayon pa kaya? Hindi ba talaga

"R-Rayne? Anong ginagawa mo dito?" gulat na tanong ni Mia sa akin.The shock on her face was obvious, maybe she didn't expect me to come here. Oh well, I don't really plan to go to this party, but why not try, right? Also, I don't see anything wrong, because I don't do and will do anything bad.Also, they invited me here as far as I remember.I didn't say anything and just put the mask back on my face. I could feel her eyes on me while I was doing that but I didn't care about her. When it was over, I was about to turn my back on her to get out when she suddenly pull me back."Please. Kung may balak kang maggulo pwede ba umalis ka na lang." I looked at her intently and raised my eyebrows while staring at what she was holding in my arm.She immediately released it.I compose myself and looked at her with disgusted eyes."Do you really think na pumunta ako dito para manggulo? Hindi ako ganun ka-pathetic para gawin yun." I took off the mask I was wearing again and folded my arms."Also, I'

"Malayo 'to sa mga bar sa Manila, mas maganda na rin 'to dahil baka may makilala pa sayo." saad ni Althea ng makarating kami sa isa mga bar na medyo malayo sa Manila. Mahirap na, baka mamaya ay ipinapahanap pa rin ako ng lalaki na iyon.It's been one week since that thing happened on the anniversary of VAI. I just want them to remember that I once existed in their lives. Pero, hindi ako ganun katanga para iharap ang sarili ko sa kanila.I don't know what happened after that, I just know that Conrad kept looking for me at the party. Ngunit ng sabihin ni Ching ang pinapasabi ko ay kaagad naman itong tumigil. But what I don't know is whether that man believed what Ching said.Oh well, kung hindi man siya maniwala wala na akong magagawa pa doon.Nabanggit din ni Leah na may pumunta sa aming shop sa America upang hanapin ako. Ngunit gaya ng ibilin ko sa kanya ay hindi niya sinabi kung nasaan ako.Bahala kayong lahat na magkagulo para lang mahanap ako. Good luck kung makikita niyo ako.Ou

I couldn't react to Conrad's confession. I don't even know how to answer him. Kasi kahit ako sa sarili ko ay naguguluhan din. Kahit na hindi ko aminin sa kanya at sa sarili ko, alam ko kung ano ang nararamdaman ko para sa kanya.Pero, hindi e. Alam ko sa sarili ko na hanggang dito na lang ang lahat para sa amin.The only thing that connects the two of us is that we have a child. As long as our arrangements are good, I know that Ryker will understand it after a while.Aaminin ko na mahal ko pa rin si Conrad pero hindi dahil ganun pa rin ang nararamdaman ko para sa kanya ay babalik na ulit kami sa isa't-isa. Marami ng nangyari, hindi na pwede pang ipagpatuloy kung ano man ang naudlot noon.Sa ginawang pag-amin ni Conrad ay medyo naging ilang kami sa isa't-isa. Kapag pumupunta siya sa condo upang makita si Ryker ay talagang iniiwasan ko na magkausap o kahit makapagtitigan kami sa isa't-isa.He also seemed to notice that I didn't want to talk about that matter so he didn't say anything.

"Ninang Rayne!" Chloe ran to me and hugged me when she saw me.I immediately hugged him back to when I recover from the shock. I did not expect that Tita Christine and Tito Leandro would bring her to visit here. I didn't know if, nasabi na nila sa bata ang totoo.O alam na din ba ito ni Mia?"Sorry iha, for the sudden notice." she kissed me on the cheek. "I just want to visit Ryker, because Conrad doesn't want to take him to the mansion either."Tumango lamang ako at pilit na ngumiti.Ayoko rin naman ang ideya kung sakali na bumisita si Ryker sa mansyon. "Good evening iha." si Tito Leandro at bumaling kay Tatay. "Magandang gabi,"Tatay remained silent and ignored Tito Leandro's greeting. I looked at Tito Leandro and asked for forgiveness because of Tatay's behavior. Naiintindihan naman nila siguro lalo pa't, galit din ito dahil sa nangyari noon."Nagpaluto ako ng food kay Manang Betina," nilagay nito sa lamesa ang dalang tray ng food.I invited them to come to the table to eat. I a

Wala na akong nagawa ng pinilit ni Conrad na sumama sa aming condo unit. Nagpumilit pa siya noong una na sa kotse niya kami sumakay. But I didn't agree because I had my car with me.Kaya ang ending ay sa kotse ko din siya sumakay, imbes na ipakarga niya si Ryker kay Ate Lindy ay hinayaan niya na matulog ito ng tuluyan sa kanyang balikat. I was in the driver's seat, driving while Ate Lindy was in the backseat."Ate, nakauwi na pala kay— Kuya Conrad?" Since I didn't tell Riri about this, she was just shocked to see Conrad with me. She looked at me questioning what this man was doing here.I just mouthed that I will explain to her later."Ate Lindy, pakisamahan na lang siya sa kwarto namin ni Ryker." tumango naman si Ate Lindy at iginiya na si Conrad sa aming kwarto upang mailapag na nito si Ryker.Conrad glanced at me once before following Ate Lindy.Riri dragged me inside the kitchen when Conrad entered our room."Ano yun, Ate!?" pagalit na bulong niya. "Bakit siya andito?""He alrea

Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig sa takot nang muli kong makita ang mga taong naging dahilan ng paghihirap ko. Hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko lalo na ngayon kaharap ko na sila at kasama ko pa ang anak kong si Ryker.Gusto kong tumakbo palayo sa lugar na iyon kasama ang anak ko para hindi nila malaman kung sino si Ryker. Pero, hindi ko magawang maihakbang ang mga paa ko para gawin iyon. Tila napako ako sa lugar na iyon, at kahit ang paghakbang ay hirap akong gawin.I stood up from kneeling while holding my son's hand tightly. I looked at their reaction, surprise registered on the faces of Tita Christine and Tito Leandro. They looked back and forth between me and Ryker who was still crying.And when I looked at Conrad, I only saw him frowning and full of wonder while looking at my son."Jusko kang bata!" si Ate Lindy at lumapit kay Ryker na nanatili lamang sa aking tabi. "Nag-alala kami sa'yo.Wag ka na ulit aalis ng ganun,"She tried to grab Ryker to stop him from crying bu

Isang linggo, simula ng umuwi ako sa Pilipinas ay iniwasan ko na magtagpo ang landas namin ni Conrad. After our talk, sa kanyang condo unit ay pinuntahan niya pa ako sa aking boutique upang makausap. Ngunit hindi ko siya hinarap, sinabi lang nang mga tauhan ko na wala ako sa lugar na iyon at umuwi na sa Pilipinas.I don't know how to deal with him after our conversation.Ang sakit pala na malaman na halos nabubuhay ako sa kasinungalingan sa loob ng apat na taon na relasyon naming dalawa. Na handang-handa na akong makasama siya habang buhay tapos sa huli maghihiwalay lang din pala kami.I think, Conrad was only part of my past that thought me how to love. And how to be loved. That even if it's not you in the end you still learn to love.I don't know but I feel like something is missing from the conversation I had with Conrad. I felt relieved because I had said everything I wanted to say.But, why does it seem like something is missing?Paano kapag nalaman ni Conrad ang tungkol kay Ryke

Kahit na nahihilo ay pinilit kong bumangon mula sa pagkakahiga upang malaman kung nasaan ako. Medyo maskait pa ang aking ulo dahil sa labis na pag-iinom. Hindi ako pamilyar sa kabuuan ng kwarto kaya nangangamba ako kung nasaan ako. Shit! Where the hell am I?Bumalik ako sa pagkakaupo sa kama at yumuko nang makaramdam ng labis na hilo. Hindi ko alam kung nasaang lugar ako at kung sino ang nagdala sa akin sa lugar na ito. Kaya kailangan kong makaalis sa lugar na 'to bago pa may mangyari sa akin na masama.Tumayo ako upang makalapit sa pinto ng kwarto na iyon para makalabas. Dahan dahan pa ang ginawa kong lakad dahil hindi ako sigurado kung may kasama ba ako sa lugar na iyon. Pipihitin ko na sana pabukas ang pinto ng biglang may pamilyar na boses na nag-salita mula sa aking likuran. "Where are you going?"I almost closed my eyes after I recognize the familiar baritone voice of the person behind me now. I just remembered that he was the last person I talked to before I passed out outsid

"Woohoooooo! Cheers!" they all said in chorus as they each took and raised their glasses.Wala na din ako nagawa kung hindi gayahin sila, ayoko namang matawag na KJ kapag di ko ginawa ang gusto nila. Also, they do this for me so I need to at least enjoy it.Mabilis kong nilagok ang aking inumin na kaagad kong pinag-sisihan dahil naramdaman ko ang mainit na hagod nito sa aking lalamunan.Shit. Kahit kailan talaga hindi ako masasanay sa lasa ng alak.As the conversation and drinking continued, I got to know them all better, I know that I have a few other staff that I'm not very close to because we don't often have this kind of party. Ang iba naman ay bagong hired pa lang kaya naman ngayon ko pa lang nakilala. Mas marami akong nadi-discover na ugali at personality sa kanilang lahat taliwas kung sino sila sa trabaho.It's like I got closer to them and don't consider them my staff-but of course they are my family.May isang oras na din kaming umiinom doon, kaya naman medyo nararamdaman ko

As expected, my return to America was very stressful. I spent a day before I took care of everything I had to do. I had to rest first because I was so tired from the trip.I already informed Lea, tungkol sa pagbabalik ko, gusto pa niya na bisitahin ako. Pero, dahil magkikita naman kami bukas sa shop ay hindi na siya tumuloy pa.I also talked to the owner of the condo unit we lived in because I can't live in it anymore. Maybe, I'll just let the housekeepers maintain the cleanliness of the room. So that when we think of going on vacation here in America, we have a place to stay in.I don't want to sell it, this condo has so many memories.Isa din sa iniiwasan ko na mangyari kaya hindi ako pumunta kaagad sa aking boutique ay dahil baka magkita na naman kami ulit ni Conrad. If tama ang hinala ko na business nga ang ipinunta niya dito ay malamang ilang araw lang siya magtatagal dito.Kaya siguro naman ay hindi na kami magkikita pang dalawa.Using my car key, I open my car parked in the bas

One week, after signing the contract, some miniminal adjustments were also started for my main branch. I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but the entire design of the building is perfect for a boutique shop.Hindi ko alam kung ano talagang plano ng may-ari kaya nila itinayo ang building na ito pero masaya ako na sa akin niya napiling ipagbili ito.Speaking of the owner, I haven't even met him or her yet because I only spoke to Ms. Celine and her lawyer. Kasama ko rin ang isa sa mga abogado for some legal purposes. Maybe it would be better if I also met the owner so that I could somehow thank him/ her for selling me the land.Pero, I hope I'll meet him or her one of this day.Sa bawat araw ay wala akong sinayang even the interior design ay ako ang nag asikaso. Sa kung saan ko ilalagay ang mga damit na gagawin o tapos ko ng gawin. At kahit na ano pa man, na alam kong magugustuhan ng mga tao. I'm very hands on pagdating sa pag aasikaso ng aking boutique."O, saan naman ang punta mo
