Bliss.
Is what i felt the moment na nasabi ko kay shiloh na mahal ko din siya.
It was wrong of me to assume na kahit di ko sabihin alam niya yun, and maube he misinterpret my reaction earlier.
Kahit ako naman kinda thought for a second na ayaw niya akong pakasalan but im reality it was the opposite which i realize as soon as he walked out on me.
I got so scared na baka magalit siya ng tuluyam sakin at di na bumalik and it made me cry which i now realize how embarassing it was kasi pati sila papá and daddy naalarma.
Ang gaan lang sa pakiramdam na malaman na may kakampi na pala ako, i mean hindi ko naman gusto na sisihin nila si shiloh but the situation itself made me realize na sobra pala talaga magprotekta and magmahal ang mga alexander.
Inaway pa nga ni nyebe si shiloh later that day nung nakita niyang namamaga mata ko.
Ngayon im with nyebe sa grand piano nila just like last night. We play random songs we used to play.
I can hear shiloh laughing and talking to his cousins and tito's kahit medyo malayo sya kung nasaan kami ni nyebe.
Maybe im just really focusing on him.
Nagulat pa ko ng biglang tumakbo palapit si spring samin
"Dada sama tayo kay granlu to the market wanna buy some snacks" i smile at her cuteness. It still warm my heart that she's calling me dada now.
I look at nyebe who looks ready na din "me din sama natin si a" he said before standing up immediately para hanapin si a.
I stood up as well before scooping spring up my arms, i look at her endearingly when i saw the small pout in her lips.
I know why.
"Missy didn't dada said na you have to get along with a? A is your cousin love" i said to her calmly as i boop his nose gently.
She scrunch her nose, eyebrow furrowing "but dada he's taking you away from me"
I chuckle at her words "no ofcourse not love, i love both of you all the same"
She shake her head "dapat you love me more im your daughter" she huff out as her hands play with my shirt.
I wss just about to answer her when papá walk up to us "manang mana sa tatay nya apaka possesive" he said amusely while shaking his head.
Napangiti nalang ako. Totoo naman kasi.
But i do understand that its just how they truly are and i kinda find it cute if im being honest.
"Don't worry hope she'll mellow down sooner or later. So sasama kayo sa market?" He ask as he carefully took spring from me.
I nodded before looking around "sila e-be din po" sambit ko.
Sakto naman na papalapit na din sila nyebe samin with ares in his arms and kaden following closely behind them.
From the corner of my eyes i saw shiloh walking towards us aswell "im coming too" he said cheerfully as he reach us imemdiately standing beside me and wrapping an arm around my shoulder which cause me to lean towards him.
Papá look at his two son in disbelief, tumango din kasi si kaden as if saying na sasama din sya.
"No" madiin nyang sambit causing me and nyebe to snicker quietly at our boyfriend/fiancè's faces.
Naramdaman ata ni papá na papalapit si daddy behind him cause he suddenly and sternly said "Not even you logan."
Di ko na pagilang di matawa cause daddy pouted not a big visible one but its there.
Now i can see the similarities between him, logan and kaden.
"Taob" rinig kong biglang sambit ni sir ken.
"Mahihina pala mga boss namin eh" asar naman sa kanila ni sir stell which cause the three alexander to have a darker expression.
Napailing nalang ako, pang asar talaga mga to.
"Im gonna spend alone time with my son in laws and grandkids. Hear that? Alone with them. Just us" isa isang tinignan ni papá ang mga anak at asawa niya na may pagbabanta which makes me giggle under my breath when shiloh stomp his feet like a kid.
"Thats unfair papá pano kaming anak mo?" Reklamo niya.
"Ay nako baka ampon talaga kayo tapos si nyebe at hiraya talaga tunay na anak no?? Kabahan na kayo" Sir josh was fast to tease shiloh.
"Sino daw ba kayo?" Sambit naman ni sir pablo na halos sabay lang ni sir josh.
Ambilis talaga pagdating sa asaran.
And my boyfriend is easily riled up ofcourse.
"Mga zio naman!" Parang bata niyang reklamo habang nakasimagot.
"You kidnapped us remember?" Ohhh hahahahaha naaasar din pala nila si kaden.
I rub shiloh's side to calm him down.
"Nako wala akong maalala" this time it was zio jah who have a teasing smile on his lips.
From what i've heard siya favorite zio ni kaden.
Natawa nalang din si papá sa pangaasar ng mga kaibigan nila sa mga anak niya.
"Enough na later nyo na yan ituloy, tara na hira, nyebe" aya nya samin but he didnt forget to pull daddy into a lingering kiss.
The others make a joking gagging sounds.
Its actually cute.
I turn my attention to shiloh who for sure magtatampo pag di ako nagpaalam ng maayos.
Agad niya akong niyakap "gonna miss you" bulong niya while pressing kisses near my ear.
Nakakakiliti.
Medyo di pa ko sanay which might be the reason why i feel like my face is on fire.
"Kala nyo naman talaga no? Sa market lang ho sila pupunta keme nyo" it was sir stell that said that making me laugh a little.
Him and the others really have ways on making me feel at ease, siguro natural na sa kanila magbiruan ng ganito.
"Stellvester" may pagbabantang tawag sa kanya ni daddy.
Akala ko nga matatakot sila pero nope its the opposite.
"Sus kunwari galit pero nahihiya lang, donna oh si kapitan!"
"Yare"
"Sheesh tumatapang si vester"
I giggle softly as i pull away from shiloh who reluctantly let me.
I look up at him amusely while he pout down in return "mabilis lang kami" sambit ko nalang as i pat his chest before completely pulling away from him.
"You better" rinig kong bulong nya which send shiver down my spine. It sounds sensual and its hot.
"Lets go you two mamaya pa matatapos mga yan" natatawang aya nalang samin ni papá.
_________________________________________
Kumuha kami ng isa isa cart. Bibili pala ng maraming snacks and food dahil uuwi lahat, a week bonding sabi ni papá.
Papá gave me and nyebe lists on what to buy and cards too?
Black cards!
Ayoko nga sana kunin pero he insisted that we'll have it para daw if mauna kami matapos makapag bayad na agad kami.
We all go seperate ways.
Gusto ko sana ilagay nalang si spring sa cart but she wanted to walk nalang daw.
Big girl na daw kasi siya.
"Dada here oh" i smile as i accepted the snack she was handing me, pinakuha ko sa kanya yun since nasa list.
"Thanks missy you did great" puri ko sa kanya as i put the snack on the cart.
She beams and jump on her feet excitedly "thanks dada! What else i wanna help pa!"
I scan the list, sakto naman na dadaan kami sa baking section "grab me those alright?" Tinuro ko sa kanya kung nasaan yung mga cupcake molder, buti nalang nasa baba.
Agad naman siyang tumalima papunta doon.
I watch her for a few seconds before grabbing the other things on the list.
I double check it bago lingunin si spring at ayain sa ibang section but to my horror wala siya.
Luminga linga ako at binitawan yung cart "spring? Spring missy come on aalis na tayo" my breathing getting heavy as i look around frantically.
No. No. No. No. She was just there!
"Spring! You're making dada worried na come here" lumalakas na boses ko kasabay ng paglakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko.
"Spring-" "Ares-" muntik na kaming magkabungguan ni nyebe.
His eyes wide and terrified.
Wala din si ares.
Doon na namin na pagtanto na may mali.
I grab his hand at agad siyang hinala "SPRING!" "ARES!" Sabay naming paulit ulit na sigaw hanggang makita namin si papá na aga pumunta sa manager ng store.
Nyebe already shaking and sobbing as he cries out for ares "luminga lang ako!nasa tabi ko lang siya! Ares! Ares!"
Nanginginig ang mga kamay ko as i dial shiloh's number, kailangan ko marinig boses niya "papunta na kami" his voice hard.
"s-shy...s-shy h-hindi ko alam...s-she was there and the n-next w-wala na s-siya--h-hindi ko a-alam i s-swear s-shy--" i choked up as i run my shaking hand through my hair.
Nasa loob na kami ng security room checking cctv footage.
Sinusubukan kong wag magpanic at umiyak pero ang hirap.
"Calm down pretty we'll find her, its not your fault"
Hindi ako makasagot.
Masyado akong nanginginig at kinakabahan.
I cant even understand the rest of his words.
My feet itching to get out and find her myself pero alam kong its not gonna help anymore.
Someone took them.
My whole world crash as soon as the security show us a specific footage.
"Sir nakalabas na sila ng mall sa likod sila dumaan"
Nyebe almost collapse buti nalang nasalo ko siya.
"No! Hanapin nyo sila! E-erhi a-ang mga bata! They took them! This is all m-my f-fault! Erhi yung m-mga anak n-natin!" Iyak niya.
Its heart breaking pero alam kong i cant say anything to make it better dahil kahit ako gusto ko umiyak sa pagsisisi.
Kung tinutukan ko lang sana siya ng mabuti this wouldn't have happened.
"Shhh shhh" i can only hold him as we hope na mahanap nila ang mga bata.
We're hopeless in this kind of situation.
Panicking will only hinder them para mahanap ang mga bata.
Shiloh please bring our daughter back to us. Paulit ulit na dasal ko habang akap akap si nyabe.
