NANG MASIGURO ni Avis na walang komplikasyon ang bata pati na din ang ina nito. She immediately told Caleb's mother to book a flight. She didn't rest nor listen to her mother to stay for another week, alam naman niya na nangungulila din sa kanya ang sariling ina lalo na at nag-iisa lang siyang anak.
"Ma, masyado na akong matagal na nag stay dito. Besides, hinahanap na ako ng mga pasyente ko sa Pilipinas." Nakasimangot na sabi nito sa kanya. Her father was busy as of the moment kaya ang mama niya lang ang naghatid sa kanilang dalawa ni Rayleigh sa airport.
"Come on, Veronica! Bakit hindi mo nalang sabihin na mami-miss mo ako? I won't mind if you hug me tight." Nagtaas baba ang kilay ni Rayleigh na ikinailing niya.
At bilang isang pikon ang mama niya, inirapan lang siya nito at hinalikan siya sa pisngi.
"Fine. Take care of my baby, Rayleigh!" Habilin ng mama niya.
"What about me?" Nakangusong tanong ni Rayleigh sa Mama niya. Her mother sighed, giving in with Caleb's mother cuteness.
"Take care you dumb! The next time they badmouth you and my daughter make sure to show them what Rayleigh was when we're in Highschool. Tutal ayon naman ang nagustuhan sayo ni Kaleb, 'yung pagiging basagulera mo, ang gago ang daming ipapalit sa akin ikaw pa talaga?"
Avis gulped when she saw her father behind her mother's back. Looks like he left his work just to see her off.
"You have a daughter and a husband here, Veron. Why do you keep on bringing that topic up? What? Vous n'avez pas encore bougé ?" You haven't moved on yet?
Nagulat ang mama niya nang marinig ang boses ng papa niya, habang si Rayleigh naman ay agad na tumawa. It's been a long time. Hindi naman mag aasawa at hindi siya lilitaw kung hindi pa naka moved on ang mama niya sa tatay ni Caleb. Pero ang mama niya pinaglalaban talaga ang paniniwala nito, na hindi maganda ang ginawa ng ama ni Caleb, he was her ex and suddenly become in a relationship with her friend.
"T-that's not it!" Nauutal na depensa ng mama niya rito. Namumula pa ang mukha niya at halatang hindi mapakali dahil pinaglalaruan niya ang mga daliri.
She's like that whenever her father's angry.
"Ah-huh? Stop talking about your ex will you? Pati ang anak natin nadadamay sa issue mo." His father angrily said. Pero nang tumingin ito sa kanya, he smiled and wink.
Lumapit sa kanya ang papa niya at hinalikan siya sa noo. "I believe you have something to tell me? I'll wait for your message, hmm? Your old man is one call away." Bulong nito sa kanya kapagkuwan ay lumapit kay Rayleigh. Her father kissed her cheek and even slid her hand on her waist, it was a natural act of her father, pero sinisiguro parin niya na hindi magseselos ang mama niya.
"Take care of my baby, Rayleigh. We'll see you soon." Her father said and went on her mother side, agad na pumalupot ang kamay nito sa baywang ng mama niya. "Mag-iingat kayo, magtutuos pa kami nitong asawa ko."
She waved her hand and mouthed her 'I love you' to her parents. Those two will surely bicker and her father will surely win hands down. Her father loves to teased her mother so much. He's a bully, but he cares and loves her and her mother.
"If Kaleb's saw your father kissing me on my cheek and even held my waist, I'm sure he'll lost his mind." Natatawang bulong sa kanya ni Rayleigh. She laughed with her.
"And I'm sure if Caleb's saw Justin being sweet to me, he'll beat him into pulp without knowing that my friend is married."
"Like father, like son!" Sabay na sabi nilang dalawa at tumawa.
