A fruit of love (KyRu/Ybramihan)

Mom from Singapore

Hindi nya sigurado kung saan lahat nagumpisa, sa coffee shop where she used to work? Sa mall, kung saan sila nag blind date? Or baka naman sa condo nya where they first done the deed?

She's in love. At hanggang ngayon, mahal nya parin si Ruru.

Hindi naman daw kasi nawala ang pagmamahal na yun. Maaring nalimutan lang, nalihis o naligaw pero deep down, alam nyang hindi ito nawala.

Kylie was doubting herself, at nalilito sa mga pinaggagawa nya.

Pakiramdam nya tuloy ginamit nya lang si Darren.

Ito ang pumasok sa isipan nya after nyang tapusin ang namagitan sa kanila ni Darren.

So Kylie tried to distance herself from Ruru.

she even considered to take a vacation to Hawaii since meron sakanyang offer dun to branch out her mall but declined it anyway.

Who is she kidding? Walang nakakasiguro sa buhay, pwedeng today you're here the next thing you're not.

She felt like napakaikli ng panahon and ayaw nyang makulong at mabuhay sa pagsisi.

Kaya as selfish as it may sound.

She came running back to Ruru's arms.

Kylie wasn't sure where it all started but one thing's she knows...she's finally home.

"Anak, halika dito..." Tawag ni kylie sa anak nya. Lumapit naman ang bata. "Naalala mo ba yung pinagusapan natin back at the hospital?"

Tumango ang bata but soon frowned. "Saano po? Ang dami nating talk dun eh."

Tama nga naman. She chuckles.

"Yung tanong mo na if kailan uuwi satin ang daddy mo.."

Raffa's mouth naghugis O remembering it.

"Well this is the day."

Tahimik lang ang bata, mukhang confused pa. Kaya naman lumapit si Ruru at lumuhod leveling the boy.

"Sa inyo nako uuwi."

"Makakasama na po kita lagi?"

Ruru nodded. The boy smiled showing his dimples.

"Kahit matagal?"

Tango uli.

"Araw-araw?"

"Araw-araw." Confirmed ni Ruru na may pagtawa pa.

"Yay!!!"

Muntik pang matumba si Ruru dahil lumundag ang bata sakanya bigla-bigla para yakapin ito. He hugged him back, happy sya na masaya ang anak nya.

Tinignan nya si Kylie tahimik na nakangiti, naluluha sya sa saya. Well, she's happy dahil finally buo na rin sila at matatawag na isa na silang family.

Ruru decided to book a flight to Singapore and yes kasama ang mag-ina nya.

"I don't see any birds up hewe daddy." Complained ni Raffa.

"Baby, birds can't fly this high. Mataas na tayo."

"Oh, maybe they're asleep since it's night time."

"It could be. Now I wonder paano matulog ang mga ibon."
Natawa si Kylie sa kainisentihan ng mag-ama nya.

"You're right night time kaya dapat matulog ka na."

"Ayaw..."

"Raffa..." She's using her warning tone pero yumakap lang ang bata sa daddy nito. "Dito ka na, mapapagod ang daddy mo nyan sayo eh."

"No no, it's fine. Ako na bahala with this boy. Meme ka kay daddy?" Raffa nodded at his dad. "See, I got it."

He winked dahilan para kiligin ng malupit si Kylie.

The three hopped out from the taxi at lumakad papunta sa four story house sa harap nila. Ruru was the one who knocked.

Bumukas ang pinto at lumabas ang isang middle-aged woman at first shock but when she noticed the boy between the parents ngumiti ito at pinapasok sila.

"You should've told me na dadating ka pala. Edi sana napasundo ko kayo kay mang-Cesar. Want more cookies? Here, have some." Puna ng nanay ni Ruru. Habang kalong ang apo.

Robina Conchita Asunsion. Ito ang pangalan na kalap ni Kylie, syempre she did some research bago humarap dito. And she found out na isa pala ito sa mga may-ari ng isang sikat na alahasan sa Singapore.

To her surprise may Instagram ang mommy ni Ruru. She clicked on it and saw a photo of her on a sofa na may hawak na mug na parang mas mahal pa sa bahay na tinutuluyan nya in the philippines.

Short hair, olive skin, at may height din. Not to mention the dimples. Ngayon alam nya na kung saan iyon nakuha ng mag-ama nya.

Kylie clicked on the recent post sa Beijing naman sabi sa caption opening ng boutique.

Bigtime nga.

Mukhang terror kaya naman nahihiya si Kylie.

After sometime when Raffa exited to play on the backyard, Robina seated beside Kylie sabay sabi ng..

"Ngayon lang kita nakita. Sabi ko na nga ba...." Kinabahan si Kylie lalo't tinititgan sya nito. "Maganda ka nga."

Mortified, ngumiti si Kylie. "Thank you po tita."

"Stop calling me tita. Hindi naman kita pamangkin. Ma na lang."

Parang nabunutan ng tinik si Kylie sa dibdib. At napatingin kay Ruru, his eyes assured her.

"Oh bakit parang nagulat ata kayo? Don't tell me you're not talking about it, Ruru?"

"Thanks for spoiling everything for me mom.."

Natawa ang nanay nya in the process.

"Kidding aside, I'm happy na pumunta kayo. Seriously, you don't know how much this means to me kaya thank you for bringing Raffa to us, to our lives."

Hindi alam ni Kylie ang gagawin nya o ang sasabihin kaya naman naiyak na lang ito. Robina pulled her for a hug also crying syempre nakisali na din si Ruru.

"She likes me..." Kylie blurted out nang makalabas sila ni Ruru to buy something. "Grabe, talaga ba? Totoo ba yun?"

"Bakit? What's not to like about you?"

"Sampalin mo kaya ako, para magising."

"There, yang simplicity mo ang dahilan. Honestly hindi na kailangang sampalin para magising here."

Ruru kissed her on the lips. Natahimik si Kylie.

"Ok na?" She nodded.

"Hindi kaya maglikot si Raffa dun?" Biglaang tanong ni Kylie.

"Ano ka ba, kaya na ni mom yun. Besides it's been a while since may baby syang nahawakan I bet she's enjoying it."

"Sa tingin mo?"

"Oo kaya. Alam mo ba when I told her about Raffa she got ecstatic, tuwang-tuwa sya nang malaman nya na she's a lola. For her the additional of this family is priceless."

"Only son ka nga pala."

"Mmm. Kaya sundan na natin agad si Raffa." Napatingin sya kaagad  kay Ruru na may ngiting nakakaloko. Taas baba pa ang isang kilay na parang hinahamon sya.

Ruru earned a punch from her, but he meant everything gusto nyang pakasalan si Kylie and this time magseseryoso na sya.

A/n: And now we're reaching the to the final chapters. Stay tune lang.....:)
