When The Ice Melts - (profxstud)

Chapter 37

"Hindi sayo sinabi ni bree" Saad ko na at napabuntong hininga ito.

"By the way bakit kayo nandito sa kid's section?" Tanong ko sa kanila. Sa pag kaka-alam ko wala naman silang anak.

"Nevermind that! Ikaw bakit ka nandito?" Pabalik niya na tanong saakin.

"I'm here with-" Naputol ang pagsasalita ko ng may bigla namang sumingit.

"Nandito lang pala kayo" Her eyes widen in surprise as she set her eyes on me.

"Gene...." She uttered.

I just stared at her with a blank expression when i heard baby hale called me.

"Mommy!!" It surprised me dahil hindi naman mommy ang tawag niya sakin.

I was about to ask why she called me that but i saw my brother who is smiling mischievously.

Alam ko na agad ng pakana ng abnoy nato kaya sinakyan ko nalang.

"Baby are you finished na??" I asked her delighted.

Ngumiti ito bago sumagot.

"Yes po mommy, they're so beautiful po!" Aniya.

I smiled and patted her head.

Binalik ko ng atensiyon ko sa tatlong narito. Bree and Uzon are shocked, si Riche naman ay panay ngisi lang. Alam niya naman na anak to ni Yassi at Yuri.

"A-anak mo?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong niya.

Binalingan ko lang ito ng tingin at tinuon ang pansin ko kay Yuri na mag kasamang lalake papunta rito.

Ampota...

"Jet what are you doing here?" Kunot noo kong tanong.

He walked towards me and leaned in closer to my ear.

"I heard we're playing family today, hon" He whispered.

It seems like they convinced Hale already. I don't know what they did or what my brother it. But Hale is really into this.

I get it. They want her to get jealous?

Then be it.

I pushed him lightly and glared at my brother.

My faced formed a smile, at first it was forced but then i saw how Hale looked at me with that big brown eyes of hers. I can't help but show a real smile.

"Mommy can you pay na po? Daddy and i are hungry"

Napatawa ako sa sheepish smile nito. Halatang nag eenjoy eh. Ewan ko talaga kung 7 years old ba talaga to o mas malaki pa.

"Of course baby, wait ka lang kay daddy mo, magbabayad muna ako" Tumango namn ito and motioned for Jet to carry her.

Pumunta na ko sa cashier with a big cart full of dresses and clothes. She really knows how to shop.

"Cash or credit ma'am?" Tanong ng cashier.

"Debit" Tipid kong sagot as i handed her my debit card.

Nag hihintay lang ako na matapos ito ng bigla naman siyang mag salita.

"Ang ganda po ng pamilya nyo ma'am" Saad nito ng naka ngiti.

I thanked her politely. She handed me 4 bags in total. Hindi namn mabigat kase damit lang naman ang naka lagay.

I walked back to where they are. Hale saw me first and started to run towards me.

"Daddy, carry these bags for mommy" She bluntly said with her arms crossed.

Napatawa naman ako sa kanya.

"Baby it's not heavy naman" Sagot ko rito pero she shaked her head in disagreement.

"No! Daddy should carry the bags because i want mommy to hold me" She said in a small voice.

"Okay okay baby don't be angry" Saad naman ni Jet ng naka ngisi at kinuha ang mga bags sakin.

"Sis, we talked and decided to eat together since it's already pass noon at gutom narin sila" Sambit ni Yuri at tumango naman ako.

I don't mind. As long as i can see that look on her face.

"Where are we going to eat?" Tanong ko.

"Kuya J's!" Agad na sagot ni Hale na ngayon ay naka kapit sa kanang kamay ko.

"Are you guys okay with that?" Tanong ko sa kanila.

"Yes/Okay lang basta si baby Hale/Why not?/Mhm" Sagot nila, i didn't hear her say anything so i looked at her.

She's already looking at me. I looked at her with a plain face before asking.

"What about you?" Tanong ko na ikinagulat niya. She didn't expect me to talk to her huh?

"I'll p-pass" She stammered.

"Oh? I thought you already agreed?" Nakakunot na tanong ni Bree.

"I just remembered that i have something important to do" Sagot nito.

"But i thought-"

"Aalis na ako" Then she left.

What's her deal?

"Welp, tara bilis nagugutom na ako" Angal ni Riche at hinila kami palabas ng clothing store.
