The Real Revenge (COMPLETED)

Chapter 40

Blue's P.O.V.

Me:

Kina, can't go with you sa check up. I'm in a very important meeting. Sorry.

Delivered

Huminga muna ako nang malalim at ngumiti saka tinignan muli ang mga anak at si Clare.

"Let's eat."

—

It's already three in the afternoon nang matapos kami sa pag-kain. Ang bilis dumaan ng oras. Hindi ko namalayan. Natatakot akong matapos ito. Ayokong matapos 'to.

"This is my favorite.." Sabi ko at isinubo ang tuna sandwich. Nag-slice ako ng carrot cheese cake at tumingin kay Clare.

"This cake is your mom's favorite." Nakita ko naman ang pamumula ni Clare kaya bahagya akong nakatawa. Nang biruin kong isubo ang cake sakanya ay hindi ko inaasahan na tatanggapin niya. Tumayo lahat ng balahibo ko sa katawan at bahagya akong natigilan.

"Thanks..." I said. I don't know why, but I feel like I should thank her for doing that. After eating deserts, agad namin kaming umalis sa resto at nagsimula nang maglakad papuntang sasakyan.

——

"Mwamie, are we going home?" Tanong ni Estellle kay Clare.

"Of course, anak ko..."

"I don't want to."

"Same." Dagdag naman ni Matt.

"Do you wanna be with Daddy?" Napatingin sa gawi ko si Clare.

"Stay by your side? Patawa ka 'no?" At pekeng tumawa si Clare.

"No, I'm serious, Clare. You can be with me... for a little while."

"Please, Mwamie, please! I wanna be with Daddy more..."

"No! eating with your dad is enough for today..." Sabi nito at bumaba sa sasakyan nang mapansing nandito na kami sa building. Sumama naman agad ang kambal na bagsak ang balikat, kaya agad ko silang sinundan.

"Clare, wait!" I stopped her car when she was about to leave the parking lot. Bumusina siya, pero hindi ako umalis kaya lumabas siya ng kotse na magkasalubong ang kilay.

"Ano ba, Blue?! Tanga-tangahan lang?" Sabi nito at tinarayan ako.

"Clare, huwag muna kayong umalis. Ayoko pa." Sabi ko kaya tumawa lamang ito nang palak.

"Blue, I appreciate that you made time with the twins and that's more than enough for today. They appreciated that." Sabi nito samantalang ang mga bata ay nasa loob pa ng kotse niyang naka start pa ang makina. Akmang papasok na siya sa kotse niya nang higitin ko siya.

"Five minutes." I said at agad na binuksan ang pinto ng kotse para pumasok sa loob kaya sumunod naman siya agad.

"Babies, Daddy will spend time like you with this again, again and again. As long as you ask for me to come, I'll come." I told my twins and they nodded and gave me a small smile.

"Daddy, can I kiss you?" It was Lianne.

"O-of... course..." I leaned on her for her to kiss me and she gave me a peck on my cheek. I was about to sit back when Matthew kissed me too.
I'm trying my best to hold back on tearing up, but I can't help it.

"Clare... salamat. Sobra. Sobra..."

"Bye, Blue." She said nang makalabas ako ng sasakyan at pinanood ko nalang na umalis ang sasakyan nila.
