Fate In The Sky

Chapter 34

"I'm still-"

"Thank you for your kindness but I hate giving you an owe. Please let me walk peacefully tonight" Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko at napagtaasan ko siya ng boses. Kita sa mukha niya ang gulat at dismaya.

"I'm sorry but..." He trailed off, stepping closer to me "But at least, can I hug you?" Without any hesitant he hugged me, tightened his arms around me.

I can't deny the fact that I miss the warm of his hug. I miss being around his arm, smelling his manly scent.

"I miss you" He whispered before letting go of me and he go back inside his car and drive away.

A droplet of tears escaped my eyes.  "Me too..."

I ended up riding a taxi since may dumaan naman habang naglalakad ako. Hindi ko maiwasang maiyak sa loob ng taxi habang dinadama ang naiwang yakap niya.

It's already too late for the both of us. He found his new home while I was still il hoping for him to come home with us.

Umuwi akong namumugto ang mata buti nalang at tulog na si Shaira at Dylan since tahimik na ang bahay at patay na lahat ng ilaw. Dumiret ako sa kusina para uminom ng tubig. Napasandal ako sa ref habang tumatakbo parin sa isipan ko ang biglaang pag yakap niya saaken. It seems like I want to hug him more...

Hinugasan ko na ang basong gimanit ko nang' biglang may pumasok sa kitchen.

"Mommy?" Nagulat ako at agad akong napalingon. It was Dylan in his sleepwear and seems like he's half asleep.

"Baby? What are you doing here?" Agad ko siyang nilapitan at kinarga. "Did mommy woke you up?"

"No mommy. I just had a dream. I was with daddy" Something throbbed my heart. It pained me.

Gusto ko nalang maiyak sa harap ng anak ko paulit-ulit humingi ng tawad. He suffered a lot, even in his dreams his daddy hunting him obviously I deprived him so much.

"Mommy are you okay?" Dylan's voice snapped me out. Agad akong napatingin sa inosente niyang mata.

"Yes baby. Mommy is okay" I plastered a reassuring smile.

"Let's sleep mommy" He said and wrapped his arms around my neck, placing his head on my shoulder. I suddenly remembered the hug that Kyjie was given me earlier.

Halos hindi ako makatulog buong gabi, the thought of that incident last night triggered my insomnia. My head hurt and I felt sick because of the alcohol I drank last night.

"Rae! Wake up already, I have flight today pa. Walang kasama si Dylan sa living room" Nagising ako sa boses at alog ni Shaira saaken.

The sunlight from the window welcomed my swollen eyes. I groaned and slowly getting up "Anong oras na?"

"It's late already na kaya! I have fight pa, you should fix yourself. Wala ka bang work today?" Dire-diretsong lintya niya.

Napahaplos ako sa sentido ko at tumayo "Wala. Rest day namin" Puna ko at tinalikoran ko na siya at agad naman siyang sumunod.

"That's great. Uhm could you at least buy a groceries? It's ubos na kasi" She pleaded as if asking a candy from me.

I just nodded and since wala naman akong magawa ngayong buong araw. Gusto ko ding' ipasyal si Dylan dito.
