Lagunzad Series 2: Love Me Again (HANDSOMELY COMPLETED)

Wakas

He sighed and just nodded.

"Kuya is intelligent, that's it." sagot na naman niya.

Umiling ako. Wala ng maisasagot pa sa kanya. Hinarap ko nalang ulit ang asawa ko. Tinulungan ko siyang ayusin ang pagkain namin. Muli kong naisip ang anak na may ekspedisyon sa Antarctica. He is one of the anthropologist who got the chance to study that continent. Since it was his profession, I'll let him do it. I sighed heavily, I know he is in the good place now.

Umupo ako sa gitna ng lamesa, nagsimula kaming kumain. Our viand is taste good, of course my wife cook it well. Masagana kaming kumain, halos ubos ang nakahain sa lamesa. Nilagok ko ang juice na nasa baso bago tumighay, busog na busog. Huminga ako ng malalim, pinagmasdan ang mga anak kong kumakain pa.

"Honey, kailan ang uwi ni Adriel?" tanong ni Samantha.

Napabaling ako sa kanya. My son called me last night and he said he will be home at the end of month.

"End of month, honey." sagot ko.

She sighed.

"Vida, kailan ang alis mo ng bansa?" tanong ko.

Vidariyah graduated fashion designer. She was about to leave the country for her first appearance in Victoria Models. Isa siya nakapasok sa entry ng mga gowns and dresses.

"I'll leave by next week." she said.

I nodded. Bumaling naman ako kay Adrius.

"Adrius, kailan ang start ng project mo under Manila Electric Corporation?" tanong ko.

Adrius passed his license and took his second project under the same company. Manila Electric Corporation is the sources of Luzon electricity. And he was the one who took the first project in Calabarzon. Ngayon, he was assigned to make a second project which placed in Mimaropa.

"I'll leave tomorrow, papa." he answered.

Tumango-tango ako at ngumuso. Bumaling naman ako kay Andriel.

"Ikaw, Andriel kailan ang pasok mo sa pagtuturo? Have you contact your aunty regarding with the university you in?" I asked him.

Andriel took his first teaching in college. Talitha, my sister recommend him to my father former university.

"I'll leave tomorrow too, pa." he said.

I sighed. So maiiwan pala kami dito ni Samantha. We have time for each other. Hindi na ako nagtanong pa, natapos kami sa tanghalian kaya nauna kami ni Sam na pumasok sa kwarto. Niyakap ko siya agad ng makapasok kami, siniksik ko ang mukha sa leeg niya habang nasa harap kami ng bintana. She sighed heavily, feeling my tight hug.

"Date tayo bukas?" malambing kong sabi.

She smile sweetly.

"Saan naman?"

I kissed her neck gently.

"Sa paborito nating pasyalan. I miss you." sabi ko.

She sighed heavily.

"Alrus, magkasama tayo buong araw tapos nami-miss mo pa rin ako." natatawa niyang sabi.

"Iba ang magkasama sa date, honey. Miss ko ng ilabas ka, manood ng sine or maglakad na magkahawak-kamay. I miss it, I miss you." I said.

She nodded while chuckling.

"Alright. Sure, mag-date tayo." she said softly.

I sighed heavily. Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti. Niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit bago ibaon ang mukha sa leeg niya. Everything happened before sink in my mind again. Our past, our painful past.
