Kissing Her Flaws (Doomed Series #1) | Revising

Kabanata 6

Insult

Nang gabing 'yon ay kinausap ko si mama. I told her about Aquias what just said. My mom is a great mother and I think I need to hear her advice.

"I just want to give him a good life ma." Ramdam ko ang namamanaag kong luha. I laughed to control it. But it's a weak laughed.

"Aquias needs more your time somber." Huminga sya ng malalim. "Alam kong nagtatrabaho ka para sa kanya pero," Umiling sya. "Being a great mother is not about material things that you can give. It's about your presence somber."

I smiled at her weakly. My mom is really different to me. I saw my reflection in her eyes doon ko nakita ang pagkakaiba namin. My mom looks like me but her, being a great mother... Hindi ko nakuha. But I'm trying to be, though. I'm willing to learn more for Aquias.

We're both seating on the side of the bed habang si Aquias ay mahimbing ng natutulog. In Aquias low snors telling me that he's peacefully sleeping. Kanina'y pag bumabangon ako'y humihigpit ang yakap nya sa bewang ko kaya inantay ko syang makatulog. And with my hands playing with his hair he slept. Naglagay ako ng unan para mayakap nya at hindi sya magising kanina dahilan para makawala ako.

"Ma do you think I'm not a good mother?" I asked her. Sa sarili kong tanong ay para akong sinasaksak.

Umiling sya at ngumiti. Hinawakan nya ang isa kong kamay at pinagmasdan ang dalawa kong mata. I want to hug her for being here. For guiding me. Talking to her feels like I'm still a young somber.

"You're a great mom." Pumatak ang pinipigilan kong luha. "We have different way for being a good mother, I guess. I know your a great mom. Mana ka sa'kin e."

Tumawa ko at pinunasan ang basang pisngi. Nagawa nya pang magpatawa kahit na nasa ganitong sitwasyon na kami.

"I will ask for leave on work kahit isang araw lang for aquias. Maybe para makabonding ko kayong dalawa."

That made her smiled.

Tinanggal nya ang kamay nya at tumayo."Kayo nalang munang dalawa anak. Para naman masolo mo ang anak mo." She laughed. "Sigurado akong matutuwa ang anak mo."

Kinaumagahan ay sinabi ko 'yon kay aquias. I didn't tell him when we will go out dahil hindi pa ako sigurado kung kailan. Maybe at the end of this week? He was so happy at halos gusto nya ng pabilisin ang oras. Seeing him that excited makes me happy.

I need to talk with my boss for this. Siguro naman ay papayagan nya ako. Alam kong may project kami pero siguro naman ay hindi naman makakaapekto doon ang hindi ko pagpasok ng isang araw?

Alam kong bago lamang sa pwesto ang anak ni Mr. Thompson at hindi ko pa alam kung papayagan nya ako but I already promised Aquias. Ayokong biguin ang anak ko.

"Ms. Trinidad. Our boss wants to talk to you." Napaangat ako ng tingin sa secretary ni Mr. Thompson. Napakunot ang noo ko." Pinasasabi nyang dumeretso ka sa office nya."

Maging sila Cele ay napaangat din ang tingin at nakakunot ang noo. Maybe it's about the project renovation. Sisimulan na kasi namin 'yon.

Hindi na ako nagtanong even if I'm curious. Sinamahan ako sa ng sekretarya hanggang sa makarating ng Ceo's office. Sa pag iisip kung Sino ang kakausapin ko it makes me nervous. Hanggang sa pinto lamang ang sekretarya. She knocked the door and spoke.

"Sir. Ms. Trinidad is here." She informed.

The baritone voice response.

"Let her in."

I took a deep breath to ease the nervousness. Nanlalamig ang mga kamay ko. Tumango ako sa sekretarya bago pinihit ang doorknob.

I've never felt this feeling when I'm entering this office before. Not. Until now. This is too much. Hindi dapat ako kinakabahan ng ganito. Get a hold of your self Somber.
