NAGISING ako ng may maramdaman na malambot na dumadampi sa ilong ko.
Napamulat ako at agad napangiti. "Good morning, baby." Bati ko sa kaniya na siyang kinatawa niya. Hinalikan ko ang natural na mapupulang labi nito. How adorable!
Pinugpog ako nito ng halik sa buong mukha matapos ay sumiksik sa leeg ko. I wrapped my hands on him.
I'm thankful to have him.
"Good morning too, my beautiful and lovely Mommy! Breakfast is ready!" Napatawa ako sa pagiging energetic nang limang taong cute little baby boy ko. He's like this every morning and I love it so much.
"Muwah!" Hinalikan ko ang tungki ng matangos niyang ilong. Matapos ay pinugpog ng halik ang buong mukha niya.
He giggled cutely. "Mommy it tickles! Mom, stop it! Mom!" He's giggles turned into laughter as I tickle his neck. "Mom, Daddy is waiting for us downstairs!" He said after he went away from my grip but still smiling.
My mouth gaped a little. "You're joking right?" Tanong ko sa kaniya. He stood up and sat in my tummy.
Bahagya akong napatawa. Nakasandal ako sa headboard habang siya ay umupo sa tiyan ko at sumandal ang mukha sa pagitan ng dibdib ko.
"No. Daddy is really waiting for us downstairs and he said I'll wake you up so that we can eat our breakfast mommy. He even have a present for me! He has a pasalubong, mommy!" Tuwang-tuwa saad ng anak ko habang sumiksik sa leeg ko.
Pasalubong? But he said....
"I just took a visit in our country, baby."
Napa-angat ako ng tingin sa harap ng pintuan. There he is, leaning in the door with his white polo tuck in his favorite jeans. God! I miss him.
"Daddy!" Agad namang umalis si Xenon sa akin at tumungo sa kinalakihan niyang Daddy. Napailang nalang ako ng biglang kinuha ni Danrick si Xenon at hinagis hagis sa ere na siyang kinatawa ng bata sabay sabing Superman.
"Hey, both of you stop. You might fall there baby." Natigilan naman silang dalawa at napansin kong may binubulong si Rick sa baby ko.
Oh no!
"Attaaaackk!" Nagulat nalang ako ng bigla silang sabay na lumundag sa kama at pinagkiliti ako. This two! Mag kasabwat talaga!
"Hey!" I laughed as they tickle my waist. Pilit akong kumakawala sa hawak ni Rick ngunit masyado s'yang malakas at nasa paanan ko naman ang baby boy ko.
"This is too much!" I squirmed and laughed. "Nakikiliti ako! Hahaha!"
"Daddy, help me tickle mom in her feet!" Agad naman namilog ang mata ko sa sinabi ng anak ko.
No, my weakness!
"Noooooo! Rick!" Pilit kong nilalayo ang mga paa ko sa kaniya. Tawang-tawa naman ang loko habang kinikiliti ako.
Damn! The two found my weak spot.
"Okay, bigboy. Haha! Let's stop na. Mommy is catching her breath. We don't want to end up in hospital, do we?" Nakangiting saad ni Rick sa baby ko.
"Haha! Yes Daddy!" Agad naman akong niyakap ng baby boy ko. Sweet! This is what I love about my boy.
My lovely baby boy.
"Aish! My babies!" Pareho kaming napatawa ng bigla kaming niyakap ni Rick at ginulong sa kama. Rick is hugging me from the back and I'm squeeze between the boys.
Danrick squeezed us both. "Big boy. Mommy's like a hotdog and were the bun. Hahah—aw!" Inirapan ko naman siya at niyakap nalang ang baby boy ko.
Kitang-kita ko kung paano nangunot ang napakagwapong mukha ng anak ko. He's so cute!
"Mommy, why did you do that to Daddy? Look oh, he's in pain." Nginuso naman ng anak ko ang loko sa likod ko. Binalingan ko ito at kita ko kung paano niya pinipigilan ang tawa niya.
"Binigyan mo lang ng pasalubong, kinampihan ka na?" Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay at doon na siya tumawa.
"Hahaha! Ako pa! Eh big boy ko iyan eh."
Inirapan ko ito saka kumawala sa pagkakayakap niya. I kissed my son's forehead before I caressed his face.
"Baby? Can you left me and Daddy first? We're just going to talk, okay? You can now open Daddy's pasalubong. I'm sure you're going to love it." Nginitian ko ang anak ko at agad naman siyang sumunod.
"Okay Mom. Bye, Daddy!" He kissed Rick in the face and hurriedly went out the room.
This time, I face Rick who's now looking at me with a serious face.
"What's with that face? Kaa-alis lang ni Xenon ganiyan na mukha mo—"
"He's here, Ken."
I don't know but what Rick's said I felt my heart beats triple. What did he meant by he's here? Is Dad here? That's good. Anong kina seryoso ng loko?
"I know what you're thinking Ken. And it's not Dad. I'm afraid being a father figure for Xenon won't last long anymore." He smiled sadly. But what did he meant by that?
God! Don't tell me....
"I saw Szion, Ken. He's here in Sydney."
