I Fell In love With A Romualdez (Unedited)

Chapter 28: Guilty ako dyan Mahal.

It's the 7th of July, past Imelda's birthday. I've been waiting for my child and wife na uuwi na galing sa Leyte, they had their vacation there since the month of June. I was with them on the last day of June till her birthday, pero umuwi ako agad the morning after her birthday kasi may meeting kami ulit ng Presidente. My schedule has been so hectic lately, kaya ayaw ako uwian ng asawa ko.

"Imelda!" Tawag ko sa kanila. I run towards them at hahalikan ko na sana si Imelda ng biglang umiwas ito. Ooops, she's still angry with me.

Kinuha ko naman agad mga bagahe nila at pinasok ko na sa sasakyan. I sat at the driver's seat then ride home.

"How's the travel darling?" tanong ko ulit while looking at her at the back mirror sa sasakyan.

"Imee, okay lang naman yung travel diba?" sabi nito kay Imee.

"Guess you're still angry with me about going home earlier than planned." Sabi ko nalang sa sarili ko na alam ko narinig niya.

I looked at her again sa back mirror and saw her mimicking what I said. I just smiled then continued to drive. Nang makarating na kami sa bahay, dali-dali akong lumabas sa sasakyan to open the door for them. I first took Imee with me at tinulungan kami ni Pedro at Inday sa mga gamit nila Imelda. Imelda went straight inside at naiwan kami ni Imee sa labas. She just looked at me.

"What darling? I said, I was sorry to your mom." Sabi ko sa kanya, she then put her palms on my face at parang pinunit.

"Aray ko Imee, why'd you do that?" sabi ko ng nakakunot yung mukha tas tumawa lang siya.

"Pa-pa-pa-pa..." kinurot nya ulit mukha ko sabay nguso at gigil na mukha.

"Oh my, darling, your front teeth are out?" sabi ko habang itinaas ko siya sa ere. She started kicking at tumawa, saka tumulo laway nito sa mukha ko.

"Hahaha, Mahal, tulo laway mo." Sabi ko habang tumatawa.

"Oh, I have to give something for your mom. Sasamahan mo ba ko sa taas?" she just smiled.

I took the flower and a box of chocolates sa front seat and took another little box of chocolate para kay Imee. Imee looks puzzled about the box and so occupied, since di naman niya alam ano bingay ko sa kanya. We went straight kay Imelda, dahan dahan ko naman tinulak pintuan naming sa kwarto pero wala ako nakitang anino ni Imelda.

"Saan na naman mommy mo?" tanong ko ka Imee.

I tried to go to the studies near our room pero wala rin siya.

"Saan ba nagpunta mommy mo?" right when we are about to go down may narinig akong babae humming sa may guest room namin. Pag open ko ng pinto, nagulat lang siya makita kami with flowers and chocolate habang nakasubo yung kutsara sa baba niya.

"Oh, andito ka lang pala." Sabi ko sa kanya. I disregard what I saw nalang since ako naman ang nanunuyo nitong asawa ko.

"Mahal, we've been looking for you, andito kalang pala. Sorry na mahal I left earlier than planned."

"nyaaaa.... Nyaaaaa.... Nyaaaaa... eeeeeh..." explain ni Imee kay Imelda habang karga ko.

"Talaga Imee, kanina lang kampi kita, ngayon sa daddy ka na naman lalaban?" sabi nito.

"Uhm, papa!" sagot nito, sabay wagayway sa box ng chocolate na hawak niya.

"Nasuholan ka lang ng pagkain, tatraydorin mo na ako ha?" maktol nito sa bata.
