Chasing After The Storm | D'heir Series 2

Chapter 7

"Mommy!" 

I looked back to see my daughter running towards me. I bent down so I can hug her. She looks really happy. She even showed me some money na hindi niya nagalawa doon. Chase on the other hand just entered our house and he have a lot of paper bags with him. 

"Mommy! Ang saya po namin ni Daddy! We went to the mall after! He bought me a lot of toys po!" Masayang sabi ng anak ko. 

"But anak, you have a lot of toys na. Bakit ka pa nag pabili kay daddy mo." I said. She just pouted at me. 

"Mommy. Wag ka na po maging mad. Daddy is the one who offered to buy me plenty na toys." She said. Napabuntong hininga lamang ako at napailing iling sakanya. 

"Ok, go to your yaya na para makapag change na ikaw ng clothes. May dinala si mommy na mga damit mo." I said and she just nod at me bago tumakbo sa yaya nito. 

I looked at Chase na iniaabot na ang mga paperbags sa mga katulong. He just walked past me at dumeretso so kitchen para kumuha ng tubig. I just followed him. 

"Bakit mo binilhan ng maraming laruan ang anak ko?" Mahinahong tanong ko dito. He just looked at me emotionlessly. 

"Anak natin." Madiin na sambit nito. Napabuntong hininga naman ako. 

"Ok. Fine. Anak natin. Now, bakit mo binilhan ng maraming laruan si Cheysela? She's too young. Pag sasawaan niya din ang mga laruan niya. Hindi mo dapat sinasayang ang pera mo." Mahinahon kong sabi rito. 

"As long as it's for my daughter, hindi sayang ang pera ko. And why the hell do you care? Bakit? Gusto mo ba sayo ko ibigay ang pera ko?" Malamig na tanong nito sa akin. 

"That's not what I am saying, Chase. Ang gusto ko lang ay wag mong i-spoil masyado si Cheysela! What if one day wala ka nang maibigay!? Stop spoiling her things! Pwede mo siya bilhan ng isa o dalwa pero yung bitbit mo kanina, it's too much." Madiin na sambit ko dito. He just rolled his eyes at me. 

Tsk! Palibhasa pinanganak ng may gintong kutsara sa dila kaya madali lang mag waldas ng pera sakanya! All I want for my daughter is the best. I don't want to spoil her yet ayoko ring pag kaitan siya. I want her to know the importance of money and savings. Hindi sa lahat ng oras, may pera kami. Malay ko nalang sa tatay niyang gastusero!

"Have you eaten yet? I cooked some snacks for Cheysela. You can have some if you want." I offered. But he didn't care. 

"I have a date." He said before leaving me there. 

Ok. Pakialam ko. Naka move on na ako! Akala ba niya masakit!? Tse! Bwesit na lalaking yun! Tinanong ko lang naman kung gusto niya tapos sagot niya sa akin I have a date!? Edi wow! 

"Mommy! Where is daddy po?" Nakangiting tanong ng anak ko. Bagong bihis na ito at nasuklay na ang buhok. She's holding her toys at mukang ayaw pakawalan. 

"Ah, may pupuntahan lang si daddy mo anak." I said. She looked confused.

"Where po?" She asked again. 

Andoon yung magaling mong tatay sa babae niya! 

"Hindi ko alam anak eh. Mag w-work ata. Do you want to eat? Nag luto si mommy ng favorite na snack mo!" Masayang sabi ko dito.

"Turon!? Yes po mommy!" Sabi nito.  Kinarga ko naman ito at binitbit sa kitchen. She's dancing and clapping her hands while eating her favorite food which is turon. Mas gusto niyang may chocolate syrup ang turon niya at may chocolate sa loob. 

Chocolates and turon is always her fav. 

"Super yummy po!" She said. I looked at the plate at mayroon pang isang turon doon.
