#TBIILWYM

FAMILY

I glanced at my husband who's busy playing with our twin, Xenov and Xenovia. Xerxes really wanted to take care of them 24/7 that he doesn't like to hire a nanny for the two.

Suddenly, Xenovia bit her father causing for Xerxes to shout that resulted to the twins tears. "P-Papa.." Ani Xenovia at nagsimula ng umiyak. Napabuntong hininga ako sila-sila nalang tatlo magiiyakan pa. For sure the twins doesn't like the idea of their father shouting at them.

Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili para lapitan sila, sinamahan ko ang mag-aama ko sa may carpet at naupo na rin doon. Nang mapansin ako ni Xenov ay gumapang ito papunta sa akin habang lumuluha pa rin. Kinarga ko siya at hinalikhalikan habang natatawa sa nakikita.

My husband is trying to baby Xenovia but our daughter was so stubborn that it ended pulling her father's hair. Mukhang alam ko na kung kanino ito nagmana, siguradong nakuha ni Xenovia ang ugali ni Xerxes noong kabataan nito. When he was a beki.

"Via! Stop pulling daddy's hair!" Saway ni Xerxes sa dalawang taong gulang na anak namin. "Via, gagalit na si daddy. I won't buy you a make up kit anymore. " Xenovia immediately stop pulling his hair.

Kumikislap ang mga mata nito na para bang make up lang ang kasiyahan. "M-maydap.."

Xerxes shrugged his shoulders. "It's make up. Meyk ap."

Xenovia shook her head. "No dada! Maydap!"

"Make up. Bulol ka na naman."

"No dada maydap, maydap, maydap!"

I laugh heartily, life without them is a hollow one. Xenov is now sleeping on my tights our boy was so quiet unlike us. Nagtataka nga ako kung kanino niya namana ang pagiging tahimik imbes na maging makalat dahil sa papa niya. I was thinking what if Xenov will ended up like his grandfather and father?

Will I accept the fact?

I smiled probably, without hesitation. I will let them chose and be themselves. I will support them no matter what happen. Ng muli kong balingan ang dalawa'y napailing nalamang. Pinupugpog na kasi ng halik ni Xerxes si Xenovia habang panay ang hagikgik ng isa.

Xerxes glanced at me, his eyes were sparkling with so much emotion. "I love you," he mouthed.

I smiled genuinely, "I love you too."

━─━────༺༻────━─━

Everything seems surreal. I woke up feeling uneasiness, iminulat ko ang aking mata, wala na si Xerxes sa aking tabi. Ang aga niya atang nagising? Naghihikab pa ako at tinatamad. I stood up and did my routine, kataka-taka ring walang maiingay.

Kalimitang nagigising ako sa mga halik ni Xerxes tuwing weekends, ang maiingay na hagikgik at tawa ni Xenovia at ang pagyakap ni Xenov sa akin. Nasaan ang tatlong ekis na iyon? Dumiretso ako sa kusina sa kaisipang baka nag-aalsumal na ang mga ito, ngunit walang bakas ng tatlong ekis, sunod ay sa sala, wala rin. Nagsimula na akong kabahan, what the hell is happening?

Hinalughog ko na ang buong kabahayan namin pero ni isa'y sakanila ay wala akong nakita. Is my husband trying to pull his pranks again? I hissed, Xerxes and his antics kung kailan tumatanda ay lalong nagiging isip bata. The teenager Xerxes who's a maarte kinda like bitch, the Xerxes who confessed to me on our younger days, the Xerxes I met after a long years of heart ache that eventually turned my life into an upside down and the version of Xerxes whom I married all those version of him have a space on my heart. I love him unconditionally.
