"We're here!" Xiana jumped happily the moment we descended from the plane. She was giggling uncontrollably as she craned her neck to have a better look on her surroundings.
"Baby, calm down. You're sweating already." Kinuha ko 'yong bimpo kay Drei at pinunasan ang mukha ni Xiana.
"Let's go see Daddy!" she chanted. And Xander who was impatient and irritable looked at Xiana peevishly. "Alexiana you're so noisy. Vous etes enneyeux!"
Xiana looks like she was about to cry, so I scooped her up and craddled her in my arms. "Hey beautiful, don't cry."
She sniffed and bobbed her little head. Drei carried Xander too. "Desole. Don't be mad at me mommy." Xander said before looking down.
Nilapitan ko siya at hinalikan sa noo. "Mommy's not mad, just don't say something like that to your sister. Vous me comprenez?"
"Oui. Je comprends." He nodded.
Manang was walking behind us. Alam kong nag-aalala siya sa mangyayari kapag nagkita na kami ni Aaron.
Hindi ko alam kung anong ine-expect kong itsura niya ngayon. My heart started racing the moment I set foot on Philippine soil. I took a deep breath and tried to expel my negative thoughts.
Xiana wrapped her arms around my neck. "Mommy, I want to see my Daddy."
"Rest muna, then we'll see your daddy." I promised. She pouted but gave in eventually. Sumakay kami sa Montero Sport na naghihintay saamin sa airport. The one behind the wheel was Drei's family chauffeur. Inihatid nito kami sa bahay ni Drei sa Makati.
Dere-deretso ako sa itaas at inihiga ang nahihimbing na si Xiana sa kama. Inilapag naman ni Drei si Xander katabi ng kakambal.
"Aayusin ko lang muna 'yong luggage natin," saad niya bago lumabas ng kwarto.
Xander shifted from the bed and slowly opened his little eyes. "Mommy?"He sat bolt upright and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. "I don't wanna see my dad."
"Why is that?" Nagtatakang tanong ko.
"Papa told me that my daddy hurt you so bad. And that he doesn't want Xiana or me. He is a bad man," inosente niyang sabi.
Nilapitan ko si Xander at hinawakan ang maliit niyang mga kamay. "That's not true, Xander. Your daddy isn't a bad man."
"But he made you cry." Niyakap niya ako and I hugged him too.
"Listen to me, okay? Just because he made Mommy cry doesn't mean he's a bad person."
Ayoko namang kamuhian nila ang tatay nila. Drei and I would talk about this once I'm done conversing with Xander. Hindi na siya sumagot, so I tucked him in bed again and watched the two of them until he fell asleep again.
Lumabas ako ng kwarto at hinanap si Drei. I found him in the kitchen.
