I was babysitting my twins when tumawag si kuya, I quickly answer it.
"Hello kuya? Bakit napatawag ka?" I heard people speaking in Korean. I admit that I still couldn't understand Korean, so when I want to go grocery shopping I bring kuya with me. "I just want to tell you na hindi agad ako makakauwi ng maaga ngayun. I have a lot to do, sweetheart."
My lips form a curve, okey lang naman. "It's okey kuya. You can have your time, but don't stress your self." Nag-alala ako sa health niya. His been working nonstop.
"Okey, I will." He hang up the call.
I looked at my children, they're sleeping peacefully. Fellix and Hellix looks like their father, I won't deny that. Nakuha nila ang bushy eyebrows nila sa kanilang daddy, isa pa ang green eyes nila. The only thing na nakita nila sakin is the curly eyelashes, long and curly eyelashes us our jewel.
Natigilan ako sa pag titig sa mga anak ko dahil my kumakatok sa pinto. We have no maid's here and dad his in another country, for business.
I open the door, and was dumbfounded. How could he know our location? Why does he always find us? This is bad really bad
I was about to close the door, when he swiftly pushed it making me stagger.
"Go out please!"
"Wala bang halik? Hug? Mahal ko?" What is babble about? Halik? In his wildest dream.
I sight before looking at him. "Ano ginagawa mo dito? What do you want?"
Him being here is making me apprehensive.
"First for your question: I'm here for you and our children. Second, I want you and our children" sabi niya sakin ng May nakakalokong ngiti.
Pano na'to wala dito si dad at kuya. Pano kapag kunin niya ang mga anak namin. What will I do if he will hurt me again? God please help me
"Don't make a menace conclusion in your head, mahal ko. Hindi ako narito para saktan kayu. I came here to talk to you." He held my hands that makes me stunned.
I looked at his eyes and stare at it, I couldn't see the coldness and fury look in his eyes that he always has. Instead, it's sincere and teary.
It makes me wonder kong nag bago na ba talaga siya, I want to ask that to him. Gusto kong malaman galing sa bibig niya.
I was taken aback when our children cry. Kinuha ko ang mga kamay ko at mabilis na pinuntahan ang mga anak ko. I picked the baby bottles and give it to my children, umopo narin ako sa sofa while looking at them sa maliit na crib. I forgot about Solomon for a moment. Hi di ko namalayan na sa bahay na pala siya.
"They look fragile, and cute." Sabi niya na Naka agaw ng pansin ko. "Mahal ko, my Empress, my love. Please let's talk about us. Marami na ang panahon nasayang, let's give our children a complete family. Please forgive me mahal ko" lumohud siya sa harap ko. How much did this man change? He will never kneel to a person, and beg?
I don't think, we will work out. Huminga ako ng malalim at ipinikit ang mga mata ko.
"Solomon, you should get out of here. Ikaw narin nagsabi. They are not your children, and will never be. You already abandoned them." Paliwanag ko sa kanya. Hindi ko alam ano ang nararamdaman ko ngayon, I stare at him with a teary eyes.
"No. We will get back together, babe. I can't do this anymore. I missed you so damn much. Hindi ko na kayang mahiwalay pa sayo, forgive me babe, forgive me mahal," he wrapped his hands around my waist, while still in his knees.
"Why now? I'm already good without you!". I shouted at him, bakit ngayun pa? Nag uumpisa na akong maging masaya. He is crying so do I, am I that selfish? Is it really good to trust him again?.
"Let's start anew babe, let's start by me being suitor. I promise I won't break your heart again please." I pushed him, and wipe my tears.
"You should go now."pagtataboy ko sakanya. "Know this my empress, I will not give up till my last breath. And take care of our children, mahal. Tomorrow I will visit you" he kissed my forehead. Making me stunned, he also kissed our children's cheeks.
Nalaman kuna lang na 3pm na pala ng hapon. My mind was occupied of the occurrence just a minute ago.
I'm thinking about what he said. A complete family? Magiging mabuti ba siya na ama kapag sakaling bumalik kami? Kaya ba niya mapakilala ang mga anak niya sa mundo? That he have a kids with a carrier?
I massage my forehead when I felt dizzy. I looked at my children who are peacefully sleeping in their crib.
"Mga anak, will we be okey kong sakaling babalik tayo sa ama niyo?" I asked them as if they can understand what I am saying.
I looked at the ceiling, and close my eyes. I just want serenity in my life. A complete peaceful and happy life. I think I should give Solomon a chance for my twins.
But he still needs to confront dad.
"Andito na ang pinaka gwapo in the whole word" namimilog ang mga mata ko'ng Naka tingin sa kuya ko. Muntik na akong takasan ng kaluluwa ano ba nanaman itong si kuya.
"Bakit yata napaaga ang uwi mo kuya, you said that marami kang gagawin?" Nakataas ang isa kong kilay, na nagtatanong sa kuya ko.
"It's because sweetheart. I decided na umuwi na at magpahinga. Mental and physical health is important, ikaw narin nagsabi. Ipagbukas ko nalang ang mga Kaylangan gawin." Napatingin naman ako sa paliwanag niya. "And besides, my nephews misses their uncle." The wind woke up and giggles when they saw their uncle.
"Pano mo naman nasabi?" Kinuha niya ang kambal sa crib nila, at hinalikan isa isa. "I trust my instinct." He look at me and smile "I saw Concio, what is he doing here?" May pag alala ang kanyang boses, and the fact that he doesn't like Solomon for hurting me before.
"Kuya, Solomon wants to be part of the twins life, he wanted to be a father to them" I said to him honestly. He just stare at me seriously.
Napayuko ako, at naghihintay kung anong masasabi niya.
"Is he really sincere? Kung gusto talaga niya na maging tatay sa mga anak niyo. He still needs our permission, lalong lalo na kay dad at sa mom natin" he meant by mom, is he needs to go to our mom's tomb and vow there.
Of course it should be his will to go there. Hindi na Kaylangan isabi kong ano ang kaylangan niya gawin upang ma patawad.
Dad, somehow told me about how he vowed Infront of our grandma's tomb just so he can marry our mom. It was our Father's own will. Sabi kasi ni that it was our Bautista family's tradition to do that.
But if isa itong carrier or babae, then ang mapapangasawa mo lang gagawa non. They doing that is a sign of true love.
But I know that not all person is true about what they pledge.
