"Fils, je peux te parler une minute? (Son, can I talk to you for a minute?)"
That is exactly what my Dad said when he entered my office here at Building the Gauthreaux Corporation.
I invited him to the Couch inside here in my office.I also sat in the chair next to him.
He looked so calmed as usual but something odd about dad's now.
Una ay bakit Niya ako naisipang dalawin ngayon dito sa kompanya?He don't usually do those stuff's.
"Dad, What are we going to talk about?"
Magalang na tanong ko rito,
He sighed and put a plain brown paper envelope in the glass table.I just stared at that envelope and frowned when I looked at dad again.
"Quel est le problème, papa? (What's the matter, dad?)"
Nagtataka ako.
Pinuntahan niya lang ba talaga ako dito sa opisina ko para ipakita sakin itong envelope na nasa harapan ko?
Well, maybe it definitely does matter and important.
"Découvrez ce qu'il y a dedans, fils. (Find out what's in it, son.)"
Walang emosyong sabi nito saakin.
Kaya wala akong nagawa kundi ang abutin ang envelope at binuksan iyon.And start looking for what's inside of it.
"Did you investigate Rhys dad? But why?"
Nagtataka kong tanong rito,
Nakatuon parin ang atensyon ko sa mga litrato ng kapatid ko na nasa airport at hila hila ang bagahe nito at sa tingin ko wala siya sa kahit na isa man sa mga airport sa Pilipinas.
I looked at dad with confusion was still on me.
Prente itong naka upo at may hinugot sa bulsa niya at mula roon ay inilabas nito ang isang kaha ng sigarilyo at isang lighter.Kumuha ito ng isang stick ng sigarilyo at sinindihan ito and he started smoking.He still smoking huh?Did mom know this?If she know then he will be so dead.
"Look for more son"
He said kaya sinunod ko ang sinabi Niya,
I look for the other photos of my brother.
It's all about him,And all of the pictures of him was taken in Hongkong,
Is this the reason why dad investigated Rhys?Nagdududa rin ba ito kung bakit panay pabalik balik ito sa Hongkong?
Suddenly I stopped looking and taking a looked at the pictures when one of them grabbed my attention.
I even looked closely at the Photo to confirm what I was seeing now and if it is true.
But no matter how was so close my face in to the photo I am holding right now, what I see is absolutely unedited.
I am seeing this right?
My jaw tightened of what I am seeing right now.
The Fuck.
It was my brother and the woman who ruin my life.
Xena.That fucking Xena again.
All along alam ni Rhys kung saan ang putang inang babaeng yun pero hindi man lang niya nagawang sabihin sakin?!
Halos malukot na ang hawak kong litrato ni Rhys at Xena na papasok sa isang puting mercedes benz.
The Fuck of that woman.
"Look for more Magnus"
Napansin siguro ni Dad na natigil ako sa pagtingin sa mga litrato,Kahit inis na inis na ako ay wala akong nagawa kundi ang ipagpatuloy ang pagtingin sa mga litrato.
At mas lalo lang nararamdaman ang galit ko dahil puro si Rhys lang iyon at ang babaeng yun.
Until I found something that cause my heart to beat so fucking fast.
Napatitig ako sa hawak hawak kong litrato at tinignan iyong mabuti.
It was Xena,
She was wearing a Cotton Linen Maternity Blue dress,
And she was Fucking Pregnant.
What is this?
What the fucking is this?!
Tinignan ko pa ang Iba at halos ganun parin ang lahat,Stolen shots of her in any random place in Hongkong.It was In a mall,In a bus station and in a supermarket.
I continue looking for every photos until I saw her photo again but she's not pregnant, instead She was in the street, While she was holding in her right hand A kid was on her school uniform,A girl with curly hair and eyeglasses on it and they both smiled as they walking together.
Shit.
What really the fucking is this damn thing.
Nilipat ko pa ang mga litrato hanggang sa naagaw ng pansin ko ang isang Litrato.
She ,The kid with curly hair and Rhys while carrying a boy who I think he was about a five or six years old.
"Avez-vous fini Vous cherchez les photos? (Are you done Looking for the pictures?)"
I heard dad ask while I am still staring at the photos.
Shit.I am seeing this bullshits right?
"Alors que pouvez-vous dire fils? (So what can you say son?)"
Kalamadong tanong ni dad habang naninigarilyo parin ito.Napatingin nalang ako sakanya at napayuko rin kaagad dahil sa naguguluhan ako.
Did he impregnate X-xena?
Fucking Rhys.
Why didn't he tell me?
Putang ina talaga.
Kaya ba palagi siya sa Hongkong kasi lagi niyang binibisita ang d-dalawa niyang anak?.
FUCK.Shit.
Damn You Rhys.
What have you'd done fucker huh?
"I-I don't know dad"
Tanging naisagot ko nalang kay dad.
I am confused as fuck.
"It's not impossible that it's your younger brothers child is it, right? Did you see the young girl? She looks like your mother, she had those innocent face yet looks so elegant,and your sister Eloise's curly hair,She really got your sister's rare hair."
Totoo nga
The kid really have the same hair as like Ate Sadie.
"I don't know if you noticed the kids eyes.But they have the same pair of gray eyes just like us,Magnus"
Y-yeah,Napansin ko iyon,They have those beautiful gray eyes just like dad,me,ate Sadie and Rhys.
"S'il est vrai que c'est l'enfant de ton frère alors pourquoi ce salaud nous le cache, pourquoi a-t-Il caché mes deux petits-enfants? (If it is true that it is the child of your brother then why this bastard is hiding it from us, why has He hid my two grandchildren?)"
Matigas na sabi ni Dad.
Hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko.I can't find any words to say but only one thing I am make sure of.
If that fucking Rhys Jaxon was here,I would really fucking beat that bullshit until he can no longer to stand.
"Dad, can you not tell mom first?....I will confirm first if it is true that she really got pregnant X-"
I stop for a minute and take back what I was trying to say.
"That girl"
Dad stared at me with those cold dangerous gray eyes then nod and put his cigarette butt on the ash tray on the table, which I sometimes really use when I smoke here in the office.
"Alright if that's what you want Son,Hindi ko muna sasabihin ito sa mama at pati narin sa ate mo"
He said and leave my office.
I stared again on the photos where was scattered at the table.
Xena and Rhys.
If this is true then good for them and fuck them too.
I grabbed my phone in the pocket of my Dolce and gabbana three piece navy suit.
I dialled Calum number and a seconds before he answered it.
"Hey fucking Axl,What's up fucker?"
I didn't pay attention on what he says
"Can you find information of Xena-"
I didn't finish utter my words when he interrupt.
"Xena Zhuo?The girl last 8 years ago?Fuck bro! don't tell me you want to know where she is, and ask for a night with him again?Bro marami nam-"
Oh shut up bastard.
If Calum was here I may really punch him right now.
"Shut up you fucker-I want you to send me information.All information Callum, her true name is Zhuo Suyin Lei,I fucking want to know her life in last past 8 years in her fucking life"
And I immediately end the call cause I know magtatanong na naman ang gagong yun.
I picked up the photo of Xena,The young girl with curly hair such as ate Sadie and this cute little boy.
If Rhys is really the father of her child then I don't care.
Pero pag nalaman kong pinapaikot na naman ako ng putang inang Xena nayun.
Then fuck her.
Fuck her damn shit life.
I'll make sure she'll pay this time.
