WE decided to go home after that incident, which dad agreed.
And now I am in my bathtub thinking if we should really stay here for good. Ayokong mauwi lang sa wala lahat ng pinag hirapan ko.
Sunday is my dad's birthday, and today is Thursday. Tomorrow naman ang uwi nila kuya and they will stay here sa mansion hanggang sa birthday ni Dad.
At dahil nga nasa Pilipinas na rin naman ako I decided to call my friends. They knew where did stayed for 5 years. Noong una ay grabe ang tampo sa akin ng dalawa because of not telling them and hindi ko man lang daw nagawa na mag paalam sa kanila. But, when I told them my reason they understand me, of course. They're happy because I did what the right thing to do.
Ninang din sila ng kambal. They're both successful now, Oleah Marica Andrada is now finally a successful lawyer and Pearl Barbara Ramirez, was now a famous model and female artist. O 'di ba mga yayamanin ang ninang ng kambal.
While me? Well, I am success business woman that finally has my own business company, which I lift it with my own sweat. One of the highest rate in Paris, France. Next in Philippines which I decided to put under Davis Business Corporation. So that, I can get my Pearl as one of my ambassador.
I left my twins rest on their room, they're sleeping and I let them rest. Ako naman ay tinawag ko nga ang mga kaibigan ko to bond with them, lalo na't gusto ko rin makabawi sa kanila.
Pearl and Leah has their free time this 8pm tonight. I let them choose kung saan ba. At dahil namiss nga nila nag magkakasama kami ulit like dating gawi ay sa bar nila piniling mag bonding kami.
When I am satisfied with my bath ay agad kong kinuha ang robe na nakasabit lang, isinuot ko iyon at lumabas ng bathroom ko.
I went on my walk-in closet. It's 3pm and I decided to wear a lose khaki t-shirt and black shorts-short. Mahaba ang damit kaya natakpan ang maiksing suot ko pang ibaba. Nagmukha tuloy itong dress.
Matapos non ay bumaba na ako para ipaghanda ang mga anak ko ng miryenda nila. I guess they're still sleeping, walang maingay sa baba eh.
Nagtungo ako sa kitchen at nadatnan doon si Aling Pasing kasama si mama na nagbibake ng cookies.
"Hi mom" bati ko at nagtungo sa counter.
"Hi, dear. We're baking cookies for kids. Manang helping me" Mom said and she giggled. Haha. Parang teenager talaga si mommy.
"Just for the kids, mom?" I pouted, jokingly.
"Silly, of course to my forever baby" sagot niya na ikinatawa ko.
Maya maya lang ay narinig ko ang maliliit na foot step ni Sola. Kinukusot-kusot pa nito ang mga mata niya habang dala-dala ang malaking teddy bear niya.
"Mommy, I thought you're gone" she said in a low tone.
"Oh baby, mommy won't gone" sagot ko at nagtungo sa kanya para buhatin siya. Grabe big girl na siya! Ang bigat na niya.
"Where's kuya, love?" I asked her bago kami umupo sa silya at kinandong siya.
"Sleeping" maikling sagot niya habang nakatingin sa ginagawa ng kanyang lola.
"Lala is that for us, po?" She asked.
"Yes Riri"
Bumalik ang sigla ni Sola at dumadaldal na rin ito. Artemis was still sleeping on their room.
I just let Sola, talk to her Lola and let her watching. Minsan ang tumitikim siya ng cookies na naibake na ni Mommy.
Ngunit ilang saglit lang ay umalis na siya sa kandungan ko at nag pababa dahil gusto raw nitong maglaro.
" Mom can you watch for my kids? I had to meet with Pearl and Leah, later." Paalam ko kay mommy na ikinaagaw ng atensiyon niya.
"Of course, love. Ako na ang bahala sa mga anak mo, just tell them where are you going so that hindi ka nila hahanapin kung magtatagal ka man" she said and smiled.
I nodded and get one piece of cookie at nginuya iyon. Hmm, ang sarap! Namiss ko tuloy maging Bata. I saw how my mom's twinkle when she saw my reaction.
"How was it?"
"Delicious mom" sagot ko.
"Parang kailan lang ikaw pa lang ang ginagawa ko ng cookies, ngayon ay nadagdagan pa ng dalawa. I miss my baby Celest, but I am proud that she's a successful woman now. It's all worth it" she said. I smiled and stand up to reach and hug her.
It is one of my reason why I don't want to go somewhere far away from my mom. I know that I hated them silently before, but we already talked about that and now they understand me and they feel sorry for what happened.
Natapos nadin silang magbake at pinadala na ni mommy sa sala ang binake niyang cookies at mayroon din strawberry juice.
Sakto din na nagising si Artemis at agad na nagtungo sa akin para mag pakandong. This cold baby is sometimes clingy, haha.
He didn't talk, well ganyan talaga siya pag bagong gising ayaw niyang nag sasalita basta pag bagong gising siya ay lalapit ito sa akin para yakapin, magpakandong or magpakarga basta nasa malapit ko lang siya. He won't say any word.
Kumuha ako ng cookies at agad na binigay sa kanya na agad naman niyang tinanggap at kinagatan.
"Solaris, baby. The cookies are ready. Come here na, 'nak. Kuya's awake na!" Sigaw ko dahil nasa may playroom sila na dating guestroom sa baba na ngayon ay pina gawang playroom ni Mommy.
She giggled while running towards us with her arms open, nag aamba na yumakap. Agad kong binuksan ang mga braso ko para salubungin ang yakap niya at hindi ito masyadong masaktan at baka magkabungguan pa sila ng Kuya niya.
"Sola, careful. Mommy might get hurt" finally my son uttered his words. Sola just giggled at nakisiksik na rin. Ang bigat nila! Haha.
Inabutan naman siya ni mommy ng cookies katulad ng kanyang kuya ay agad niya iyon kinagatan.
"I love your cookies, lala. Bake for us, lagi po!" She said cutely to her lola na agad naman kinatawa ni mom at pinisil ang magkabilang pisngi nito. Mom just nodded and chuckled on my daughter's remarks.

"Twins, mommy will go out with your ninang later ah. You won't able to come and you stay here with lola, okay? Mommy missed ninang, and I will tell them that they will visit you here and but you toys, okay?" Mahinahon na sabi ko sa mga anak ko habang inaayusan ang sarili sa harap ng salamin habang sila ay parehonv naka indian sit sa kama ko at taimtim na pinapanood ang bawat kilos ko. I saw their reaction thru their reflection on my mirror they just nodded.
What's with them?
"Mimi tell ninang to buy us more toys, okay?" Sola said in serious na kinatawa ko.
"And don't wait for mommy, okay? Be good to lola. Don't make her stress, lola is aging" saad ko pa.
"Yes mommy" magalang ng sagot ng lalaki kong anak
Ang dami pa nilang tinanong na sinagot ko na lang.
Nang pumatak ang oras na dapat akong umalis ay agad akong nagpaalam sa kanila at parehas na hinalikan ang noo. They just bid a goodbye to me, and kissed me also.
Matutulog nadin naman din sila after they drink their milk. Mom knows the routine of the twins.
Kailangan na sa tabi mo sila bago matulog kahit sino basta pinagkaka tiwalaan at kilala nila ay hindi sila magrereklamo kung sino mag papatulog sa kanila.
They're kind and hindi sila mapili sa mga taong pinapakisamahan nila.
I just don't get the fact that at their age lalo na si Artemis, he doesn't like his father. Is it my fault? Mali ba at masama ba akong ina, because of me they hate their father? Although, Sola doesn't look she hates Levi, but I know she's sad.
I arrived kung saan bar kami magkikita. I don't know if they're already here. But I arrived on time. Agad akong nag park at pumasok sa loob.
Sunalubong ako ng malakas na tunog ng music, amoy ng vape at alak. Marami rami ring taong na ka kalat at ang iba ay nagsasayaw na sa dance floor..
This bar was particularly just made for the wealth people or famous star. Kaya halos lahat ng tao dito ay makikitang may kaya talaga. They elegant but... wild. I shrugged with that thoughts, funny.
"Good evening ma'am, are you Miss Davis?" I girl crew suddenly appear and asked me. Dahil sa gulat ay napatango na lang ako
Grabe si Ate nakaka gulat pasulpot sulpot bigla.
Agad itong ngumiti at nag bow sa akin tila alam nito ang nasa isip ko kaya humingi siya ng paumanhin, iginaya na niya ako sa VIP room, and she said that my friends came here early than me.
Pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto, the room in VIP has a glass wall. Rinig padin ang malakas na tunog galing sa baba ngunit hindi gano nakakabingi o hindi iyon kalakasan.
Agad tumili ang mga kaibigan ko ng makita ako at sinalubong ako ng yakap at hampas. They never changed, ah?
"My god, may anak kana pero mas sexy kaparin sa akin. How to be you!" Leah said.
Natawa na lang ako at hinayaan sila. I missed them, so d*mn much!
I missed hanging out with them, kailan na nga ba uli ang huli namin bonding? I guess I am still trapped with Levi's possessive love. Love nga ba? Tsk, he never loved me. Ow now I know kung sino yung babaeng kasama niya sa mall noon, it was Diana, the girl he is with na sinabing pinsan ng kaibigan niya. Pinsan ng friend, huh? Anyways why I am even thinking about him, like what the f*ck.
"Oh gosh, kelan ba ang huling bonding natin? Nung may asama pa si Amari, at tumakas pa para lang makapunta" panunukso ni Leah. There's even a tone of singing when she said those.
"No girl, I remembered yung huli kasama niya pa ang bg's niya"
We both laughed with their remarks. Thinking what happened in the past. We sitted on the couch at agad na tinungga ang alak na nakaserved para sa amin. Kami lang ang tatlo na narito.
"How's the twins?" Pearl asked
"They missed you, sabi nila visit them and buy them more toys daw" sagot ko. They just laugh and nodded on what I've said.
We we're just chit-chatting and let our selves to enjoy the alcohol. No hesitation and not even minding kung malasing kami or what. Well, wala man akong driver but my famous fried has her bodyguards outside and she has her own driver.
We decided to go down para makisali sa dance floor. Nakisiksik kami sa dagat ng mga tao na sumasayaw sa dance floor.
Hanggang sa maramdaman kong hindi alo nagiging komportable, it feels like someone just staring at me. Not just far. Or maybe I am just hallucinating because of the Alcohol I drank. Nakakarami nadin kasi ako. But I know I am not drunk. Tipsy? I don't know.
Pinag patuloy ko na lang ang pag sasayaw kasama ang dalawang kaibigan. Hanggan sa may maramdaman akong pangahas na tao na humawak sa maliit na waist ko. Agad ko iyon nilongan at nakakunot ang noo ko.
I saw a tall man grinning his face, may itsura pero mukhang manyak! Kadiri. Agad akong lumayo sa kanya.
"F*ck let me go! I hate you!" Sigaw ko
"Yan ang gusto ko, miss. Pakipot. Gusto mo bang maranasan ang langit?" He said. I looked at him with disgust.
"Get off me, may anak ako. Layas!" I shoo him, pero hindi iyon natinag mas lalo lang lumapit. Nahiwalay nadin ako sa mga kaibigan ko, hindi ko na sila makita.
"You think, you can lie to me?" He said. I frowned, damn this pervert man. I want to sue him to death! He even trace his whole d*mn eyes on my body. I am wearing a black bodycon dress who shows my curves.
Gusto kong dukutin ang mga mata niya. Ang g*go. Where are my friends ba? Nilibot ko ang tingin ko, ngunit napako iyon sa lalaking may malamig na titig at diretsong nakatingin sa lalaking manyakis na nasa harap ko. I gasped.
