Tourney of Beguiling (North Series #2: Fausea)

Chapter 43

"Fausea, na-packed na itong huling box. Idedeliver na ba?" Charry asked as she carries it.

I checked the list and nodded.

For months, magaan naman ang daloy ng negosyo. We hired more staff too.

Charry sighed and sat beside me. "Hindi ka ba pupunta ng school? Kuhanan ng class card ng mga bata ngayon."

Tumango ako. "Sabay na tayo."

Umiling siya at hinimas ang tyan. "Si Bellamy nalang, natatamad ako."

I sighed. Ang gaga ay buntis. Kasalukuyan na ding pinapagawa ang bahay nila.

Tinapos ko lang ang ginagawa at pumara na ng tricycle papunta ng school ng mga bata. They are enrolled in a public school dahil walang malapit na private. Kung meron man ay baka sa Laoag pa iyon.

I saw the kids playing because it is Card day.

Natagpuan ko ang kambal sa playground kasama si Beath at Bellamy na kausap si Rhyno.

"Mama!" the three of them came to hug me.

"Si Charry?" asked by Bellamy.

I rolled my eyes. "Alam mo naman kapag buntis."

Natawa ito. "Oo nga, ganon talaga iyon pati noong ipinagbubuntis si Beath. Laging tamad."

Napalunok ako at naramdamang may bumara sa aking lalamunan, my gaze went to Rhyno and I saw a glint of envy on his eyes while listening to Bellamy's story about Charrina's pregnancy.

Nang mag-start ang meeting ay pansin kong attentive ito and when he saw the twin's class card ay parang pinupunit ang aking puso.

"I still passed naman!" ungos ni Fauna nang asarin ni Beath.

Line of eight kasi siya at ang dalawa lalo na si Rhysea ay almost perfect ang grades.

Rhyno smiled and ruffled Fauna's hair. "You still did your best, Fauna. Papa is proud of you and Fausea without these class cards."

Ngumiti ako.

I also want to instilled in my children's mind that grades does not define them or their worth. Ayoko ng ganoong mentality. The children will grow anxious and insecure.

"Una na kami, baka kanina pa naghihintay si Charry." Bellamy informed.

Nang makaalis ang mag-ama ay kumalambitin ang kambal sa bisig ni Rhyno.

"Papa, you promised!"

I frowned. "Ano 'yon?"

Rhyno formally stood. "I booked us a dinner by the seaside. They want you to come."

Tumaas ang kilay ko. At bakit tunog ayaw niya akong isama? Dahil ba hindi ako sumama pauwi sakanila noong grand opening ng shop?

I nodded confidently. "Sure. Sasama ako."

"Let's go na po!" tili noong dalawa.

Fauna held his father's hand and Rhysea did the same to me.

"Mama, you sit here!" Rhysea dragged me to the front seat nang samahan ko sana sila sa backseat.

They both giggled lalo nang pumasok si Rhyno sa driver's seat.

"I thought you went back to work?" I asked him.

Napalingon ito sa akin.

I cleared my throat. "Ah, nalaman ko lang sa mga bata."

He nodded. May multo ng ngiti sa labi. "Yeah, about a month ago. I'm working at home. I still want to spend time with the girls before going back and forth to Manila. I also plan to take them in Spain to visit my father."
