Dearly Affair

CHAPTER 21

CESSIA

Dad insist that I'll just bring Lalia. Nanggugulo ito sa mga kasama nito sa bahay, hindi mapakali dahil wala daw ako at kumakati ang paningin nito dahil hindi ako nito mahawakan.

"Come here baby. Take this cloths and wear now" she might be afraid upon wearing those now, due to what happened this last night. Caused by her excites illness.

"Come here and raise your hands up, as your arms either" utos ko sa kaniya ng hindi ako nito pinakinggan at nanatiling nakatingin lang sa damit na hawak ko.

"Don't kill me Mommy. Gusto pa kitang kasama" I too wants to have you in my arms baby. Must learn how the things working in a proper way, don't just used them without the guidance of the guardian..

"Don't smother yourself then, it won't caused you to death" sabi ko sa kaniya habang nilulusot ang mga braso nitong ipinataas ko at inayos habang binaba na ito.

"We'll go to the office of grandpa and grandma. Don't be playful, baka makipaglaro sa'yo pati mga papel, okay?" she will probably nodding because she doesn't want to see me goggling at her and tickle her body nonstop if she acts up as stubborn kid and disobey those course.

As we arrived, binuhat ko ito upang maibaba na sa sasakyan. She is tailing me from behind and awaits for her turn to hold my hand. This girl are indeed to responsible for the given instruction why I need to pursue teaching her.

I invite her joined me walking and let her have her own way. Hinayaan ko itong maglakad habang pinagdikit naman nito ang bawat daliri nito sa isa't isa. Ang mga matang napapabaling bawat gilid na parang napapaisip kung anong klaseng lugar ang pinuntahan namin.

She even looks horrible, her eyes being spherical as her walks becomes slowly. Nilapitan ko na ito dahil marami na ang mga taong napapadaan sa kinaroroonan nito.

"Be friendly baby, they won't eat you nor kill you" hindi pa katapusan. I was like this before, I can't make an eye contact to very person I had encounter due to my social anxiety and elusive minded.

"It'll kill my vibe. I thought there are some music here. They looks like they have plan to eat me, Mommy. They are too tall as you while I'm just like this" she measure through her hands and show to me how her heights depicts comparing to those employee she encountered.

My Dad's secretary sent me an email. It indicates we need to gather from the meeting placed and have our moments to have the stage and pitch for some excess idea regarding to the plan. The strategy upon the concept in marketing placed, the locations, community needed or essentials and also the affordable price and quality.

"Stay here okay. Mommy needs to go to meeting, Mr. Bella Francez summoned us there, be behave Lalia. I'll leave the phone with you" umalis na ako habang bitbit ang folder na nakaipit sa pagitan ng braso at bewang ko.

Pinakiusapan ko ang mga katrabahong malapit sa pwesto ko na bantayan muna si Lalia habang wala ako. I want to make sure, because knowing her, she can go where she wants although it still not in the line of not being forbidden.

"Buy me a food, Mommy" muli akong napahinto dahil sa sigaw nito.

"We'll deal with that baby. Behave for now, okay?" she thumbs up then continue playing again through my phone.

I'm still clueless how did Lalia feel that she wants to see Caial, it's just like she is begging for me just to see her father. I don't know how to say some excuses because the current situation are not in a mode of having a transaction just to get the favor of fate.

While sitting waiting for the others to come, I did my mind to be busy on planting some thoughts, how to find some entertaining games for Lalia. I want to make her busy while I'm doing my work. She have the guts of being nuisance, but not that drastic she indeed wants my attention caused she's exhausted not being taking care. She probably wants to be hug.
