Special Chapter #5

Special Chapter #5

Kurt's POV

"I do not like what you've done," I spieled infront of the kids who are guiltily bowing their heads to hide their faces. I saw Gavin playing his iPad, so I walked towards behind him and cleared my throat to catch his attention.

"Keep that away or else..." I reprimanded and he immediately did so, bowing his head like his siblings.

They did not make any noise nor move a bit. Their hands were on their laps as though they're waiting for me to spill my tirade. I am deeply aware that I can be sugar coated father towards them, but surely, I know my limitation. When I know that they're doing wrong, I preach them the right thing.

Tahimik pa rin silang nakayuko. Nasa loob kami ng hotel suite namin ni Crystal. Speaking of, Crystal is in deep sleep. I was dead worried when she collapsed earlier at the park. Hindi lang syempre ako, pati na rin ang mga bata. I brought her to the park's clinic and they provided us a doctor that checked on her. Soon enough, I found out that she's over fatigue. My poor, baby love.

"I told you the rules before I gave you my permission, right? Haven't we talked about it yet?" I tried to sound as prudish as I can. I still want them to show what I am as a mad dad.

Jewel looked up at me with her teary eyes. "Dad, sorry po. We looked after each other. Si Manang lang po talaga ang nahiwalay sa 'min."

"Yes, Dad. That's true," Precious seconded. "And besides, kasama naman po namin sina Tita Chloe, Tito Dustin and even, Tito Arthur. Si Manang lang po talaga ang ang nawala at hindi kami."

I gripped into the chair where Damian was seated. Hindi agad ako nagsalita. Pinili kong pagmasdan silang apat. Akala mo ay pinagbagsakan silang lahat ng langit at lupa. Yung mga ganyang mukha ng mga anak ko, nakikita ko lang tuwing pinapagalitan ko sila. But as for Crystal, I might see them crying amidst her tirade. 

"Dad, we're very sorry. Are we coming back to Manila now?" said Jewel as she caressed Gavin's hair. Nakita ko pang ngumuso si Gavin kaya napa-'tsk' ako. 

"You don't have any idea how much you made your mom worried about you," I said seriously. "Napalipad tuloy kami dito ng wala sa oras. Nainterrupt ang ang cruise namin."

And I'm very much darn dismayed... Bakasyon na. Naging stress pa. Tss.

"Did Mom find out that we're lost kaya po kayo napapunta dito? Eh kanina lang naman po kami nawala," said my very smart daughter, Precious.

Napaisip tuloy ako sa sinabi ko. Mana talaga si Precious kay Crystal—- matalino, at aminado naman ako dyan. Of all my children, I would say that Damian was the one who got most of me. Kagaya nalang ngayon, pinapagalitan ko sila at kahit isang salita, wala akong narinig sa kanya. Nakatulala lang siya sa mesa. Ganyang-ganyan ako nung bata pa ako. Tss. Do I need to worry about Damian's future now?

"Well, my fault," I affirmed and I saw their shoulders fell. "But don't worry, I already told your mom about this. Hindi niya kayo papagalitan."
