"Sige na anak.. Pagbigyan mo na kami ng daddy mo, baka naman pwede pa kayong mag stay muna dito kahit dalawang linggo lang, alam mo namang nangungulila kami ng daddy mo sayo, lalo na dito sa mga apo ko! Ang tatalino ang sobrang bibo!"
Kasalukuyan kami ngayong kumakain ng almusal.
"Yes mommy, please? Can we stay here for a while? I want to be with papaLo ang mamaLa.. I love being here.."
Segunda naman ni Zaira.
"Pumayag ka na Ash.. Minsan ka lang magawi dito, kung natatakot kang malaman ni Zach ang tungkol sa mga bata, I can help you about it. Two weeks lang naman and you can back to U.S for good."
"Who is Zach mommy?"
Tanong ni Zedrick sa akin.
Bigla kong pinandilatan ng mata si Kyle. Telling him to keep his mouth shut.
"He's nothing honey.. Here eat more, and next time, don't interfere when the oldest are talking OK?
" yes mom, sorry. "
Ngumiti ako sa kanya at muling inatupag ang pag kain.
"Well?"
Untag ni Mommy.
"Fine."
Boring kong sagot.
Lumiwanag ang muka ni mommy sa sinabi ko.
"Anong plano mo anak habang nandito ka?"
Agaw pansin ni dad sa akin.
"Seriously that you are asking me that dad? Kaka convince lang ni mommy na dito muna kami, so it's obvious that I don't have plan yet."
I heard Kyle chuckled.
"She will be busy for the business Tito. You know that your daughter is a workaholic. Dinaig pa ang lalaki sa pagiging agresibo when it comes to business. Walang segundong pinapalampas yan na Hindi inaatupag ang trabaho."
He smirked at me. Showing his cuties dimples.
"Oh Kyle, please."
I said and rolled my eyes. I know what he mean. Dahil lagi nya akong inaasar sa pagiging workaholic ko daw kuno. Na kesyo daw tatanda akong walang love life. Talagang may gana pa syang asarin ako. Palibhasa meron syang love life. Lagi nya akong iniinggit. Ilang beses na rin nya akong kinumbinsi na sagutin o bigyan ng chance ang mga nanliligaw sa akin nung nasa States palang kami.
Katulad ni Jerald, he is my suitor, he like Jerald for me.
Pero ang lagi kong sagot sa kanya,
'Saka na, pag wala na akong sabit. Baka kapag naayos ko na ang divorce baka pwede na.'
Talaga lang ha? Kaya ko nga ba? Kahit mawalan na ng bisa ang kasal naming dalawa, kaya ko nga bang mag mahal ng iba?
That kind of question trap me.
"Oh ano? Payag ka na please? Sige na Ash! Ngayon lang ito. Nakulangan ako ng model dyan na sa Pilipinas. At mamayang hapon na ang shoot. Ikaw nalang ang pag asa ko. So please pretty please?"
I can imagine Trisha now pleasing me with her poppy eyes.
Napahilot ako sa sintido habang pinapakinggan ang mga reason nya kung bakit sila nakulangan sa model. I can't say 'no' to her because I owe her a lot.
"Fine. Just this afternoon OK? I have meetings to do tomorrow for my clients. I will be busy here, so this
Is just now. No next time after this."
I said in my serious tone. Kahit ang totoo, nangingiti ako sa kakulitan nya. Now I understand Kyle why he is very in love to her. Dahil lahat ng magandang katangian ni Trisha ay mapapa mahal ka once na makilala mo sya ng lubusan.
"Omg!!! Thank you Ash! You are my savior!!!"
Naririnig ko pa syang nag titili sa kabilang linya dahil sa pag payag ko.
Nag usap pa kami ng medyo matagal bago natapos ang tawag. I guess I need to have pretty rest for the shoot this afternoon.
Nang mapadaan ako sa sala ay nakita ko ang kambal at si mommy sa harap ng Hardin. Mommy looks so happy with the two bulilits playing. She is watching them while Zedrick is riding on his papaLo at the back.
Parang may maiinit na kamay ang humaplos sa puso ko.
Ito ang pangarap ng mga magulang ko noon, na punuin ko raw ng apo ang malawak nilang hardin.
Pero ngayon kahit dalawa lang ang naibigay ko, Hindi na siguro masama iyon. I guess staying here even in a short time is not bad.
"They are so happy."
Napasinghap ako ng maramdaman si Kyle sa gilid ko.
"Yeah.. Until now, I still can't imagine my life like this if it's not because of you.."
I said and look serious in his eyes.
"Maybe I'm already dead right now if it's not because of you."
I continue when he didn't say something.
"Hey, it's been thousands times you already told me that Ash. And keeping you alive is not because of me. God gave you another chance to live, not me. He just used me to help you. but it's not me why the reason you are still alive. How many times to I need to remind you that?"
He said.
I looked at his serious eyes.
"I just...."
Hindi ko na naituloy ang sasabihin ko. Pag dating sa ganito, sobrang nagiging emotional talaga ako. Kaya Hindi ko na napigilan ang pag hikbi.
"Oh damn.. Come here."
without any hesitation, kinabig nya ako payakap.
"It's hurt to me seeing you cry. You are now sister to me. And I hate seeing you damn crying."
He said while combing my hair using his hands.
" I'm just being happy and thankful to have you.. I don't know.. Kung Paano ako makaka bawi sayo ."
I said between my sobs.
"Really? Gusto mong bumawi then?"
He said wearing a playful smile.
"Syempre naman no! Sabihin mo na kasi kung Paano ako makaka bawi."
Sagot ko habang Hindi parin kumakawala sa yakap nya.
"Be happy.. Makita kang masaya, naka bawi ka na sa akin."
He whispered and kissed my forehead.
