Family affairs part 5

Regine's POV

Masaya akong pumasok sa opisina ni Ogie. I ran to his chair and kissed his cheek and back hugged him.

Ogie: so? How did it go?

Reg: Great hon! Okay na kami ni Leila.

Ogie: talaga? Oh ghad! Finally!

Reg: oo nga eh. Imagine? After a whole year, okay na kami.

Ogie: I'm so happy hon.

Reg: ako rin. And I have something to tell you na mas ikatutuwa mo.

Ogie: ano yun?

Reg: I ----

Secretary: sir? Excuse me lang po. Ready na po ang meeting nyo sa conference room.

Ogie: Thankyou Jeremy. Susunod nalang ako.

Reg: mamaya nalang hon.

Ogie: hindi pala ako makaka uwi ng maaga hon.

Reg: osige, next time nalang. Love you!

Ogie: love you too (kiss and left)

Hay! I'm so happy. This day is amazing. May sasabihin sana ako kay ogie pero mukhang busy sya. So I decided to go home. Wala na masyadong traffic kaya mabilis akong naka uwi sa bahay. I peeked in leila's room and saw her sleeping. I next went to sarah's room and I saw her crying. I went closer and touched her head. She flinched but when she saw me she automatically hugged me and cried even more.

Reg: baby what's wrong?

Sarah: mommy? Hindi mo naman kami iiwan diba?

Reg: hindi ko kayo iiwan baby? Why would you say that?

Sarah: you'll always be safe right?

Reg: baby ano bang nangyayari? Can you explain to mommy? Hindi kita maintindihan.

Sarah: I had a bad dream.

Reg: really? Can you tell mommy about it?

Sarah: I saw you getting in to your car.

Reg: and then?

Sarah: you were driving and I saw your car was crashed into another car. Mommy I saw you bathing in blood!

Reg: baby, it's just a dream.

Sarah: mommy wag mo kaming iiwan.

Reg: hindi ko kayo iiwan okay? Gusto mo ba dito nalang ako matulog?

Sarah: yes mommy.

Reg: magbibihis lang si mommy okay?

Sarah: balik ka ha?

Reg: yes baby.

I went back to my room and changed into my sleepwear. Hindi ko maiwasang maisip ang sinabi ni sarah. Mamamatay ako? Naku rold wag naman sana. Nagka ayos na po kami ni Leila wag na po kayong KJ. Agad kong kinuha ang cell phone ko at bumalik sa kwarto ni sarah. Akala ko ng nakatulog na siya but she is still awake obviously waiting for me. Agad akong humiga sa kama niya at niyakap siya, yumakap naman ito pabalik.

Reg: let's sleep na baby.

Sarah: mommy I can't sleep. Can you sing me a song?

Reg: of course baby.

She then smiled and snuggled close to me like a baby.

Tulog na aking mahal takot ay kalimutan

Di kailanman iiwan pagmamahal sayoy ilalaan

Di hahayaang masaktan gabit araw ay babantayan

Hanggat ako ay kailangan

Pangako koy hindi lilisan

Araw ay sisikat din

Magwawakas din ang dililm

Liwanag ay masisilayan din

Bukas ay salubungin mo

Harapin ang umaga

Dala nitoy pag asa

Yakapin mo ang ligaya

Pagkat hindi kana mag iisa

Araw ay sisikat din

Magwawakas din ang dilim

Liwanag ay masisilayan din

Bukas ay salubungin mo

Araw ay siskat din

Magwawakas din ang dilim

Liwanag ay masisilayan din

Bukas ay salubungin din

Na muling luluha pa

Ligaya ay mahahnap

( oh? Sinong may alam kung saang movie to ni ate reg? )

I saw that she was already asleep so I decided to get my phone and look at some pics of me and Leila kanina sa family day. We looked so happy so I decided to post some.
