School's Judge
Aaron's POV.
"Sir the FLU University wanted you to judge their talent competition," Ela said as she handed me some papers. "It's a grade school performance for family day," she added.
"Why would I waste much time on that silly stuff?" I asked.
"It's because I heard that your ex-wife's child is there," she said which made me stop. "Child?" I asked as she smiled.
"See, She still gets your attention," she said as she handed me some papers about the child's file.
"If you don't like to participate I can just call the school to-"
"Tell them that I will be there," I said as I look at the photos that she handed me. She looked like me when I was a kid.
But it's impossible, Wendy told me that our daughter died and didn't make it.
The day came as I walk down the hallway to the stage and sit down on my chair.
The opening was a song from the little girl in the picture that Ela gave to me as I try to search for Wendy and I found her in the corner with a guy.
"Thank you for teaching me how to love
Showing me what the world means
What I've been dreamin' of
And now I know, there is nothing that I could not do
Thanks to you"
She is just as good as her mother.
"Looking at her right now Sir she really looked like you when your father showed me your baby pictures," Ela whispered as my fist clenched.
"For teaching me how to feel
Showing me my emotions
Letting me know what's real
From what is not
What I've got is more than I'd ever hoped for
And a lot of what I hope for is
Thanks to you"
If this is really my daughter then why did Wendy hide her away from me? Doesn't she want me in their lives?
"No mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace
Can't stop me from believing
That my love will pull me through
Thanks to you"
Looking at this child now, She looked like 4 years old.
"Excuse what's the name of this child?" I asked one of my fellow judges as they are from the school.
"There's no mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace
Can't stop me from believing
That my love will see me through
Thanks to you
Thanks to you"
"Oh that girl is Mina Savilla, She's such a wonderful singer. How are you related to her Mr. Savilla?" They asked as I cannot believe it.
Wendy used my name so that means Mina is my child!
"There's no mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace
Can't stop me from believing
That my love will see me through
Thanks to you
Thanks to you"
as she finishes her song I cannot wait to finish judging so I can come and approach them.
I have tons of questions about Wendy now.
After the performances of the candidates are done I immediately went to the picnic place where the parents join lunch together with their kids.
When Wendy spotted me she choke on her water and got herself wet. Oh yeah, she's a slice of dead meat to me now.
I smiled as Mina looked at me.
"Mom?" she asked Wendy.
"Are you hungry Mister? You can join us if you want," she said as she smiled at me.
How can I even believe Wendy when this child looks exactly like me.
"What are you doing here?" Wendy asked as Mina is enjoying her food, I just glared at Wendy as she just sigh knowing that it was her fault for not telling the truth.
"Mina, Do you want to play with your friends?" Wendy suggested as Mina nodded and went to her friends.
"What are you doing here Aaron?" she asked again as I smirked. "I'm here to see my daughter, Why didn't you tell her that I'm her father?" I asked.
"Pardon?" she asked.
"What? She holds on to my name. She's a Savilla." I said.
"She's my daughter only, You abandon both of us," she said. "You cheated again," she added.
"I walked away because you just accused me of something that I didn't do," I said.
"What?"
"I thought that you were mad about me not making time with you when you were the one who pushed me away," I explained.
"I just knew that you saw the footage where Ela and her boyfriend are kissing in my office. I wanted to explain but you.." I sigh as I look at her.
She looks like she cannot believe what she heard.
"Wendy I...." She didn't let me finish.
"Please leave," she said as she look at me with a pleaded eyes.
"Do you really hate me that much?" I asked when the guy she's with came to our place.
"Wendy, is there something wrong?" he asked as he look at me like I was harassing my wife. Damn him!
I wanna kill this guy.
"He's about to leave now, He just congratulated Mina," she said as she look at me telling me to go.
"I will be meeting you again somehow," I said as I glance at the guy who kept staring at me.
Ela approached me as we rode the car and I sigh heavily.
"I didn't even get a chance to hold my own daughter," I said as she smirked. "What are you smiling at?" I asked as she stop.
"Nothing sir it's just you are the famous Savilla and yet you have these little problems." She said which I thought about.
"Yeah your right, I can have anything I want," I said as I thought about how can I have my wife and daughter back.
"That guy, do you know him?" I asked as she nodded. "It was Jason San Jose, He is my Ex-boyfriend sir," she said.
"Now that's news..." I said while smirking.
