To Fall Apart

Chapter 34

"When was it again?" Amara asked on the other line.

Binuhat ko si Giddeon para makaupo sa upuan nya at nilagay ko ang breakfast nya bago ko binalingan si Amara na naka-face time sa akin.

"Next Sunday." I said.

Sandali syang napaisip sa sinabi ko. I even saw her checking her planner. Ngimisi ako at bumaling sa anak ko para tingnan kung kumakain sya ng maayos.

After a week, Giddeon got discharged. I am also going to work by tomorrow, but right now, I am doing some things for him. Inayos ko ang kwarto nya para maging mas malinis at binilhan ko din sya ng iba pang gamit na kakailanganin nya.

I smiled at Giddeon when he smiled at me while waving his dirty hand. Nagpapabuhat. Lumapit ako para halikan sya sa noo at tulungan syang kumain.

"Got it. I think, I can go." Amara said. Nilingon ko sya.

"Great. Divine is expecting us." I said.

Last Friday, I got a call from Divine. A batchmate I saw when I was in the bar. She told me that she needs a band to sing on their wedding and she want it to be us.

Divine is part of the SSC and she is close to Amara. I also know her personally. I can't say no because she personally wants us and that is her day. Sinabi nya din na sa reception lang kami kakanta at hindi naman daw sa mismong wedding dahil may ibang kakanta para doon.

I asked Arielle and she has no problem with it since she is actually not working now that she got back.

"Pero saan nga ulit?"

"Tagaytay." I said. Giddeon shrieked and I pout when I saw how dirty he looks like right now.

"Oh, cutie." Amara said. Umirap ako sa kanya.

"Ang kalat nga e."

"Okay yun, atleast nakakakain na sya alone."

Tumango ako habang pinupunasan ng wipes ang kamay nya. Pero ang loko tinatawanan lang ako. Hindi ko alam kung magpapadala ba ako sa cuteness nya o maiinis kasi kakaligo lang nya.

"He's really handsome Andy." Amara said. Ngumiti ako.

"Well, kanino pa ba magmamana?" I asked. Amara grimace.

"Syempre hindi sayo. Hindi mo naman kamukha." she teased.

Napasinghap ako sa sinabi nya at pinagtaasan ko sya ng kilay.

"Excuse me. Sakin nya namana yung kutis nya no!" I said. Amara grinned.

"Kutis lang. Lahat sa ama." aniya at umiling iling pa. I scoffed.

"Hina ng genes mo!" pahabol nya pa at bago ko pa sya mairapan ay pinatay na nya ang tawag.

I glared at my tablet.

"That wench." I whispered.

"Mommy!" Giddeon called.

Bumuntong hininga ako at tinapos ang pagpupunas sa kanya.

"Are you full na ba?" I asked. Giddeon nodded. Tumango ako.

"Good. Come, let's take a bath again." sabi ko dahil ang dungis dungis na nya talaga. Hindi naman ako pinansin ni Giddon na abala pa din sa pagkain ng saging sa kamay nya.
