.....

Dean took a bite of the cookie Nicky just baked.

Nasa tabi niya si Eli na isinasawsaw naman sa maaligamgam na gatas ang matigas na cookie.

Dean was silently inspecting her Mommy.

"Mom,aren't you cold?" He asked eyeing her short shorts and too thin spaghetti top.

Automatically,Nicky's brows arched when she got what her son's referring to.

"Summer ngayon. Tirik na tirik ang araw sa labas."

"But you're here inside." He munched more.

And she rolled her eyes. "I'm still sweating. Cooking and all makes me sweat. Ayokong asthma'hin."

He didn't believe her when he pouts. "Just don't wear them outside. Criminals won't adjust for you,they're not fashionistas." Anito na umani nang tingin mula sa kanya.

Hindi na lamang siya sumagot at nagpatuloy sa pagluluto ng kanilang pananghalian nila habang ang dalawa ay nagkakasya na muna sa cookies.

"Mom,did you know how Dad's parents died?" Tanong nito pagkaraan ng ilang sandaling katahimikan.

Tumigil sandali sa paghalo ang kamay niya at lumingon para sumagot dito. "Hindi ko alam.... How did you know?" Balik tanong niya at ibinalik ang tingin sa pan.

When Dean asked,Tony didn't know too. Tapos tinawanan pa siya,ang emo daw kasi niya sa namatay na grandparents nila eh matagal na raw yon. Which made him more curious.

"I accidentally known from Tony." Then related the moment how it happened.

"Highschool alam ko,ulila na ang Daddy mo. You ask him."

Nakita ni Nicky kung paano nag-alangan si Dean sa suhestyon niya. Simula ng umalis si Theo,ang pakikipag-usap sa Daddy nito ay naging mahirap muli para kay Dean. Parang nag-back to square one ang relasyon ng mag-ama.

Nicky put off the stove and neared to her son. Hinanap niya ang umiiwas na tingin nito at nang matagpuan ay malungkot na tumingin sa kanya.

"You think so?"

There's the obvious hesitation she sensed. At naiinis siya. Parang may nabuo siya pero napupunit na naman muli ngayon. Nakakapagod din pero anak niya ito. She brought Dean to this world without a choice to be his son's parent. Sila ni Theo. Na kung papipiliin siguro ito ay baka ibang set ng magulang ang gugustuhin at hindi sila na magulo at pabaya.

Ibig niyang sabihin,she's very grateful to have him as her child that she couldn't think and bear that one of these days regrets would come and he's going to leave them. Na baka mapuno na lamang ito sa mga drama nila ni Theo at umalis na lang.

"Oo,naman." Simpleng sagot niya sa alinlangan nito.

"Then why he restricts me from knowing my cousins?" He said, demanding an answer.

Pain from longing is what Nicky sees in her son's eyes. Sa linaw ay maging siya ay nadadala. Nahahawa rito at gustung-gusto niyang tawagan ngayon ang tatay nito at sisihin.

Matalino pa naman ang anak nila,na kung sasabihin mong wala ay hindi ito agad-agad maniniwala. He would rather dig deeper and that's what she can't answer.

She can't answer for Theo right now. Dahil kahit sa kanya ay matipid din ang mga sagot sa kung ano nga ba ang dahilan. Isa pa,ilang araw na silang hindi nagkakausap ng lalaking yon. She won't answer his call.
