Chapter Twenty-Six

Chapter Twenty-Six
Take two?
Zainiel Maxine Florence

Imbis na kabahan ako ngayon ay mas lalo akong sumaya dahil sa katabi ko ngayon, Ayaw n'ya akong bitawan simula nung pag dating namin dito, halos wala na ata s'yang pake sa mga tumitingin samin eh.

Pinapatawag kasi ako nung principal, imbis na yung dean namin ang tatawag sakin yung principal pa talaga; Kinabahan ako bigla sa thought na yun dahil kaparehas ni Miss-ma'am yung principal.

"Hello there ms Santiago. 'Di ko inaakala na anak ka pala ng kaibigan kong si Vicente; Well nandito ka kasama ng anak ko dahil I want you to stay beside her and tanggap na tanggap ko ang magiging relationship ninyo I have no problem with that at sana wag mo s'yang iwan as long as you can."

Natahimik lamang ako habang namumula ang katabi ko.

"And alam mo naman na siguro na mahal ka ng anak ko, but her mother seems like she doesn't care inarrange ng ina niya sa isang engagement and hanggang ngayon ay tutol parin ako kaya hindi pa nang yayari, That guy is very suspicious so i don't want her to be near my daughter. Thats why I want you to stay by her side, Don't ever leave my daughter again and prove her mother wrong. Alam naman na nang ina nya na may minamahal na s'ya pero hanggang ngayon ay pinipilit nya talaga na ipakasal ang anak namin sa taong hindi aman karapat dapat sa aking anak, I know what's best for my daughter so please stay beside her like you did when you were young."

Ang haba na sinabi ng ama ni Miss-ma'am. So support nya kami? Omg tapos si tita pa talaga yung kontrabida sa love story namin ni miss maam?! Halahhh pano na yan?

But wait stay with her like when we were young? what does that mean?

"Oh man I still remember when you two were young you used to play family with Anthony. You were the husband and Athena was the wife and Anthony was your child, Ang bilis talaga ng oras akalain mo yun patakbo takbo lang kayo sa garden dati ngayon nag mamahalan na kayo." He smiled genuinely

"Oh my god dad shut up!" Tinignan ko yung taong nasa tabi ko ngayon ay pulang pula.

"What? totoo naman eh, atleast tanggap ko na dati na kayo ang mag kakatuluyan." Yun ang sinabi ng ama n'ya bago tumawa, Mga ilang minuto pa ay hinawakan n'ya ang kamay ko at ngumiti ito.

Masaya kaya pag ganyan ang relasyon nyo na mag ama? I know my father isn't pero i want to have that kind of relationship too.

"You're excused to you classes today and you too Athena. Mag bonding muna kayo and later we'll have a family dinner with Mr. Santiago and Ms. Flores."

I know he's pertaining to my mother. Dahil divorced na sila pero i dont mind it as long as their happy.

"Sige po sir."

"Call me tito or dad i don't mind Zainiel. Your always welcome in my arms same with Athena. Sige na alis na kayo sa office ko at marami pa akong aasikasuhin." Sabi nya at humarap na s'ya kay Athena dahil nag salita ito.

"Dad how about we'll have a family dinner in their house." Napa tingin ako rito at nagulat sa sinabi n'ya.

"Hmmm... Is it okay with you Florence?"

Nabigla ako a sinabi nito at syempre inisip ko ng mabuti, What will dad think? My mother what will she think?

"Don't worry Florence your dad knows and mostly your mother."

Halaaaa pano nila nalaman?? Halaaaa baka papalayasin na nila ako. Halaaaaa....

"It's a yes sir." Ngumiti ito at tumayo sa upuan niya. "Thank god my daughter found someone like you, Hulog ka ng langit sakanya."
