Chapter 26

"Mommy-"

Umiling ako kay tita nang mag tagpo ang aming mga mata. I didn't expect they'll be here, liam with blare and kuya. Karga karga ko ang aking anak at hinawi ko ang buhok na naka harang sa kaniyang mukha.

"Stop crying anak.. I'm here okay? You suprised mommy! I'm so happy that you're here.." I said, kissing her cheeks.

Mamula-mula ang kaniyang mata at tunango sa'kin, habang basang basa ang pisngi. Lumabas naman si kuya mula sa dining area at agad na lumapit sa'min.

"Iiakyat ko muna sa kwarto si blare.." saad ko at tumayo. "We will talk later, kuya and liam.." I said and walked away from them.

"Ang ganda ganda naman ng anak ko.. stop crying na, did you miss mommy so much?"

She nodded at maingat na nilapag ko siya sa kama. "Mommy's miss you so much too. Nag tampo kaba sa 'kin?"

She nodded too, biting her lower lip. I hold her hand, while staring into her teary eyes. "I'm sorry anak.. I have something to do.."

"Is that.. important than me, mommy?"

My heart cracked into pieces. I hushed her and shook my head. "No baby, ofcourse not. You're more than important, than anyone else. Babawi sa 'yo si mommy and that's a promise," malambing na boses ko.

She just nodded, scratching her eyes. I kissed her forehead. "You should sleep anak.. you still have jetlag, tatabihan kita ayos lang ba 'yon?"

She nodded cutely. Pwemesto na siya sa kama at tinignan ako. She patted the space besides her. Tila may humaplos naman sa aking puso, I lay down besides her. Maingat na hiniga ko ang kaniyang ulo sa aking braso habang ang kaniyang kamay yumakap sa 'kin.

"I miss you mommy.. don't leave okay?"

I hummed, nodding. "I love you and I miss you so much baby, mommy's not gonna leave you again.." I said softly and kissed her forehead once again.

The usual routine so she could sleep. Magaan lamang ang aking pag pat sa kaniyang pwetan, I'm humming so it could help her to fell asleep.

"Aliann, seriously? Can you fix something on your neck? It's a goddamn hickey?!" Galit na sabi ni kuya.

Nanlaki ang aking mata at agad na tinakpan 'yon. I could feel the cold sweat on my forehead. "Mosquito.. bite me.. i-ipis lang naman.."

Sinulubong ako ni kuya at ni liam ng masamang tingin. I sighed deeply and shook my head. Maging si tita rin ay napa tingin sa 'kin.Damn it, hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko dahil parang na ho-hot seat ako sa mga oras na 'to! the way kuya and liam staring at me! 

I shouldn't let miguel next time to do this- no I mean, wala na talagang mangyayari.

"Dapat ako nag tatanong sa inyo n'yan kuya. Bakit kayo umuwi, sinama niyo pa ang anak ko-"

Liam uttered a cursed, his brow were furrowed. "What the fuck, are you saying aki?! Ilang buwan ka ng wala at hindi mo man lang iniisip ang anak mo?!"

My lips parted in amusement, of his sudden statement.

"Ano? Dapat hindi nalang pala umuwi si blare para pumuntahan ka ganon? Tangina-"

"Liam" pigil ni kuya, using his warning voice.

They stared to each other before sighing and they both glanced at me. Tumikhim ako para bawasan ang tensyon.

"Tell him, aki" kuya said, in a baritone voice.

I shifted my eyes at liam, who's confused looking to the both of us. Papalit-palit ang kaniyang pag lipat ng mata sa'min.
