I was in my swivel chair in the office.. hindi mapakali.. nagpapaikot ikot.
It's been years since I heard his voice. You may think I'm a jerk dahil natiis ko ang anak ko ng ganun ganun nalang.. But I am back to make some changes.. and I'm starting with my son.
My fingers were fidgeting on the table, inaantay ang reply ni Zayden.

Agad akong napaayos ng upo, tila nabuhayan ng loob when I saw his reply. Agad ko siyang tinawagan.
*on call*
"Hi little boy.. Daddy misses you.. so much.." madamdamin kong sabi.
"Daddy.. Mommy knows.." pabulong siyang sumagot
"How did she find out?" Bigla akong kinabahan dahil alam kong magagalit si Alara sa pasikreto kong pagtawag kanina.
"I was doing as you told me.. then mommy asked if where did I learn all those things.. then, I said it was you.. It slipped right out of mu tongue than Mommy gave me the stare that—."
Gusto kong matawa dahil dire diretso siyang nagsalita. He stopped to catch his breath.. halatang excited pa magkwento pero baga ma't kabado parin.
"Zayden.." i chuckled. "You're not a little boy anymore.." bigla akong naging emosyonal.
"Dad.. I'm turning five now.. I'm a big boy na!" bakat ang pagmamaktol. Pero cute!
"I know.. it's just Dad missed more than half of your life.. that's why Daddy is just amazed.." napangiti ako.
"Daddy.. I'm big na.." matunog na bumuntong hininga eto. "I'm also big enough to be a kuya!"
"ZAYDEN!" Rinig kong nanunuway na sigaw sa linya niya. "Anong big enough to be a kuya ka diyan! Who's that?! Akin na nga.."
OH SHIT.
"Hello? Sino to?"
"Mommy.. hehehe" napakamot pa ako ng batok sa kaba.
"Zayden." Pag tawag niya. "Go to your lola downstairs." Mahigpit na utos neto sa kabilang linya.
"But Mom.. i'm still talking to Daddy.." rinig ko pang reklamo ng anak ko. Di ko napigilang mapatawa.
