One Deep Love

Chapter 6

Athanasia's POV

Even if she's hurt, she chose to say sorry to them. And even to that woman. I told her that what she did was right para naman mailabas niya lahat ng hinanakit niya. They were on that woman's side yesterday but look at how they're acting right now.

"Zaire, anak... Patawarin mo kami. Hindi namin sinasadya." Paumanhin ni tita sakanya. Nasa loob sila ng sala at ako naman ay naka-sandal sa pintuan. I gave them their privacy to talk with her, but I told them that I am not going to leave her. So here I am.

"I said it's fine. Wala naman nang maibabalik pa ang sorry nyo, so quit it." Ani nito at tinignan sila sa mga mata pero mabilis din siyang umiwas. Napayuko naman sina tita at tito.

See. I told you, you'll lose her if you'll let her be like that. Hindi nyo nga siya hinanap kahapon at nang bumalik kayo dito sa loob ng room ay akay-akay nyo ang babaeng yun. And guess the fuck what? Umiiyak pa.

Ang sarap talaga niyang suntukin.

Isa lang, promise.

"Baby... We're sorry. T-tell us, tell us what we can do to make it up to you. I don't want to see you like this." Sabi ni tito. Tinaasan naman siya ng kilay ni zaire na para bang nag-sabi siya ng uninteresting joke.

She scoffed. "Seriously, dad? Hindi nyo ako ginusto na maging ganito pero kayo yung dahilan kung bakit ako naging ganito! Sawa na akong magpa-kumbaba. You always say sorry everytime but you're not even doing anything to make it up to me! Tapos kapag napatawad ko na kayo, uulitin nyo na naman ang mga mali nyo kaya mag-dusa kayo dyan. I won't forgive you, unless you make things right, once." Tumayo ito at lumabas ng salas. Ignoring me.

"ZAIRE!" Galit na tawag ng kuya nito at aakma na din siyang lalabas ng sala ng pigilan ko siya. I shook my head when he looked at me.

"...Hayaan nyo muna siyang mapag-isa. She needs space." Inangat ko ang tingin kila tita at umayos ng tayo habang naka-cross ang mga braso. "Do you really want to make it up to her?" Tanong ko at tinignan sila isa-isa. They went silent for seconds so I am about to open my mouth when they answered "yes" almost at the same time. Nginitian ko sila.

"If that is the case, then... Do anything in your power to make it up to her. Kung talagang mahal niyo siya, gagawa kayo ng paraan para mapatawad niya kayo sa mga ginawa nyo. Whatever it is, you'll do it. She still has a soft spot for the mean time." Iyon lang ang sinabi ko at tumalikod na.

"I'll excuse myself, then." Sabi ko at lumakad na palabas. Pinuntahan ko si zeke sa playroom niya at pagpasok ko ay ang makalat na silid ang nakita ko.

"Mommy!" Agaran itong tumakbo patungo sa akin at kinarga ko naman siya.

"Hi, baby. Miss mo si mommy?" Paulit-ulit na tumango naman ito. Napatawa nalang ako at tinawag ang maids niya para linisin ang silid.

"Genevieve, Celestia. Paki-linis ng silid. May pupuntahan lang kami ni zeke." Nag-bow ang mga ito.

"Yes, ma'am." We exited the room and went to our room.

"Mommy, I'm not done playing." Maktol nito ng binibihisan ko siya. Napailing nalang ako at tinapos ang pagbibihis sakanya.

"Playtime's over, my prince. Didn't you say you want to make it up to me yesterday, hm?" Nakataas na kilay kong tanong. Nanlaki naman ang mga mata nito.

"Y-yeah! You didn't tell me mommy." Nakangusong ani nito pero umakto akong nag-tatampo.

"Bahala ka. Sabi mo babawi ka kay mommy, but seems like you love playing more than making it up to mommy, so am gonna leave." Pagbibiro ko. Tumalikod pa ako pero niyakap nito ang hita ko kaya napatawa na ako.

"No! Mommy, babawi ko. Babawi si zeke kay mommy! Bihis kana po. Pupunta tayong mall mommy." Napakunot ang noo ko. Anong mall?

"What? Why the mall? What are we gonna do there?" Takang tanong ko habang isinusuot ang ibinigay nitong damit na suotin ko daw.

"I will buy ingredients for my oreo dessert mommy. I tried making it, and it was good so I want mommy to be the first one to try it." Sabi nito na ikinangiti ko.

"Ang sweet naman. Ito na ba pambawi mo kay mommy?" I can imagine him nodding his head over there.

"Yes po. Even if it's too simple, I know mommy would accept it as a peace offering." Napahalakhak ako. Batang to ang confident.
