Bleu's POV:
It's been 5 months, 5 months after I gave Zane a chance and within those months he made me feel and the kids that nothing could ever go wrong again.
He's been trying hard to court me and the kids at the same time for the past 5 months. Mabilis niya lang nakuha loob ni Laine, maybe because they both have the same personality and I'm really glad seeing Laine calling him every single time like a father when she needs help about something.
Guess what? I don't see the need na patagalin pa o pahirapan siya, we're both grown up and I'm all aware sa nararamdaman ko sa kanya and the kids love him kaya I'm planning na sagutin siya ngayon.
Actually, last week ko pa gustong gawin kaya lang nawawalan ako ng timing. Kinakabahan ako na para bang teenager na may balak sagutin ang matagal niya ng manliligaw.
"No. Put that back."
Napasunod ako ng tingin doon sa garapon ng gummy bears na inilagay ko sa pushing cart namin na kinuha ni Zane at ibinalik sa shelf.
Nasa mall kami, nagro-grocery ng magkasama.
"Whyyyy? Gusto ni Tobi ng gummy bears.", kinuha ko ulit 'yong garapon ng gummy bears pero bago ko pa mailagay ulit sa cart ay hinawakan niya rin ito para pigilan ako.
Binigyan niya ako ng hindi naniniwala na tingin kaya napalunok ako ng laway ng wala sa oras.
"Tobi or you?", seryosong tanong niya.
Dramatic pa akong napa-gasp at alam niyo ginawa niya? He mimicked me! Kaya napatikom ako ng bibig at sinamaan siya ng tingin.
Napailing siya at inagaw sa akin ang garapon ng gummy bears at binalik na naman sa shelf.
"Even if it's for Tobi, still a No. You have enough sweets in the house for the kids, you've spoiled Tobi too much that he doesn't eat greens unlike Laine. And you... I remember you compaining na sumasakit ngipin mo last time kasi ang hilig mo sa matatamis.", sabi niya sa akin sa kalagitnaan ng paglakad niya palayo doon sa shelf ng sweet stuffs habang tulak-tulak 'yong cart, literal na iniwan ako.
Agad ako sumunod sa kanya ng huminto siya para lingunin ako.
"Where is Zach? Kanina pa 'yon. Sabi ko naman sa'yo na tayo nalang sumundo kay Laine at Tobi sa school, kung saan-saan na naman dinala ng lalaking 'yon ang dalawa bago ihatid sa atin."
"Hayaan mo na. He's leaving early tomorrow, he doesn't have much time to be with the kids kaya siya pinasundo ko.", hindi maalis ang tingin doon sa garapon ng gummy bears kong sagot kay Zane.
Zach is leaving for US. I don't know if na-mention na ni Zane sa inyo noon but remember that lowkey resto 5 years ago na kung saan ako dinadala ni Zane para kumain? 'Yong kay Zach. It was given by his grandfather diba? That grandfather is sick and all he wants is to have Zach by his side. 'Yung lolo ni Zach ay father ng Mommy niya, by the way.
That's why, Zach is leaving for the US and there's no specific time or day na makakabalik siya sa Pinas.
Tobi and Laine knew about it already kaya I let him be with the kids.
I still remember when Zane told me 5 years ago na Zach is already a millionaire at the age of 20 tapos ako at that age, lumalandi lang hahahahaha. Zach doesn't really look like it, maybe because hindi naman siya ganun ka-showy sa yaman niya. You will never know kasi he doesn't wear branded clothes or very expensive things unless may occasion siguro.
"I understand that, but... ", napahinto sa pagsasalita si Zane at napatingin sa relo niya.
"It's already 5 pm at sinundo niya ang mga bata kaninang 3, matatapos na rin tayo sa grocery shopping and they're still not here."
