Chapter 18

Trouble

I also got myself a new Ob/gyn doctor. Since the last doctor can't be trusted. Kahit pa kakilala niya ang Mama ni Faye na dati niyang patient, I still became her patient now so she should also take care for my privacy and not just share my medical records to other people.

"Take care of yourself." bilin sa akin ni Hale.

Hale has to go on a business trip for days. Gusto niya pa nga sana akong isama pero may pasok pa ako sa university. And I also don't want to leave the children alone here dahil wala na nga si Hale. At least I could stay here for them.

"Ako na ang bahala sa mga bata, Hale. Huwag ka nang masyadong mag-alala sa amin." I gave my husband a reassuring smile. "At saka nandito naman sina Manang."

Hale nodded and kissed my lips shortly. Medyo nakaramdam pa ako ng hiya dahil nandito pa ang mga kasambahay namin at ang dalawang bata. Pero mabilis lang naman iyong halik sa akin ni Hale. "I'll miss you." he said. His eyes was filled with longing already.

I smiled gently. "Mamimiss ka rin namin ng mga bata, Hale. Mag-iingat ka. Tumawag ka na lang sa amin."

He nodded.

And then we went with him up to his ready and waiting car. We stood there just outside the mansion's main door and waited until Hale's car was already far and we couldn't see it anymore.

Pumasok at bumalik na kami sa loob ng bahay ng mga bata kasunod ang mga kasambahay. I then turned to Angel and Gelo. May bago na rin silang yaya ngayon. Although they were still looking for Yaya Celsa...

"I'll be just in my room." May gagawin pa kasi ako para sa eskwela. "If you need anything you can just go to me and ask... You can also ask your Yaya Mona for help or anything." I smiled to them.

But they both didn't smile back. Especially Gelo who just looked away. Suplado itong nag-iwas ng tingin sa akin at mukhang masama na naman ang hitsura niya. Ang nabuo namang umaayos na sana na relasyon namin ni Angel ay parang bigla rin naglaho...just because Yaya Celsa isn't here anymore...

Hindi ko rin naman sana gusto iyon... But her presence here in the mansion wouldn't help me get closer to the children... Kasi palagi siyang nand'yan. Kahit gusto ko sanang gawin ang isang bagay para sa mga bata palaging gusto niyang siya na lang ang gagawa...

"All right...I'll go upstairs now." Sighing, I started going up the grand staircase.

Tahimik at focus akong naging abala sa kailangan ko para sa course ko. Konti na lang talaga and I'll be finishing my studies. I can start working at Hale's company and help him with work. Iyon lang naman ang gusto ko na makatulong kay Hale kahit sa anong bagay. Because he's been working so hard for our family and I want to work hard, too.

One day while Hale was still away I received a call from the children's school. May ginawa raw si Gelo sa eskwela na hindi nagustuhan ng teachers niya. I then worriedly hurried to their school after talking to the teacher.

"What happened, Ma'am?" I immediately asked the teacher what was really happening the moment I arrived.

"Mrs. Salcedo." Sinalubong din ako ng teacher. She smiled at me politely. "We did not expect for this to happen too, Ma'am. Gelo was one of our good students. The best even. Kaya hindi ko talaga inasahan na makakapanakit po siya ng classmate niya..." The teacher looked saddened.
