BBM-LENI Short Stories

Goodnight Mahal

Then the prince saved the princess from being devoured by the evil witch, the end! Bongbong stated to his twins,

The two children looked at him, they were still full of excitement from the story he just red to them

Papa can you read us another one? The little boy asked

I'm sorry Simon but it's past your bed time, kailangan nyo na matulog or else hindi na kayo tatangkad he stated and chuckled

Pero papa, hindi pa kami inaantok! Simon's twin stated

Tricia, Im sorry anak but that's final, he stated,

The children looked at each other with disappointment, Bongbong noticed this so he thought of an idea

Ganito nalang, if you two sleep early tonight, dadalin ko kayo bukas sa park! You can play all day and we can eat at your favorite places!

The children immediately started jumping with joy upon hearing there father's statement

Sige po papa! Basta promise moyan ha! Little Simon added

Of course anak, when did I ever break promises? He asked curiously

Never papa Tricia stated and smiled

That's what I thought, now go to sleep mga anak para bukas May energy kayo

He tucked his twins at there bed then kissed there forehead,

Goodnight papa they both stated

Goodnight din mga anak, i love you both, sleep well

Same to you papa they both replied

He smiled and turn off the lights, he looked at the twins who were now sleeping before he closed the door

After leaving his kids bedroom he immediately went to his own bedroom to rest, he first changed his clothes before going to bed, he took off his eye glasses and set them on the night stand, though before he could shut his eyes, he saw his wife standing by the balcony

He immediately approched her, she didn't turn to look at him, she was silent the whole time, this worried him

Mahal? May problema kaba? He asked

Wala naman mahal, i just wanna take a look at the scenery infront of me

Ang ganda nila diba? He asked, before I bought this house I made sure na komportable tayong lahat dito, and I wasn't wrong

You're right about that, I miss this moment, just the two of us, she stated then placed her head against his shoulder

But we're always together aren't we? He asked

I know, she stated, hindi parin ako makapaniwala na halos mag ti-three years old na yung kambal natin, time flies by like strong blow of wind

He looked at her for a moment, then she looked back, he smiled upon seeing her face, he took her cheek gently and gave her a light kiss

She smiled, she always loved when he would do that, she loved everything about him, even in the smallest details,she mostly loved his suprises, though after he kissed her she spoke to him, she looked at the ground

Bongbong, pls let go she stated

He was confused, he looked at her and asked

Why? May ginagawa nakong mali? I'm sorry if I did something to upset you..

No, not that, mahal, let, go Please, you have suffered enough, sobrang sakit para saakin na nakikitang nahihirapan even after all these years

He looked at her confusedly

I don't understand, anong gusto mong iparating? He asked

Mahal, mag tatatlong taon nakong patay,she smiled at him, but I can't leave your side knowing na hindi Moko kayang bitawan,

He started crying, he hated himself when he knew he was crying, she couped his cheeks and pressed her forehead against his

I'm always with you, no matter what happens I will always love you

Ayoko, ayokong bitawan ka, natatakot ako mahal, I'm scared to be alone without you

She giggled, hindi kanaman nag iisa, You still have Tricia and Simon, as well as our other family members, mahirap man pero pls let go, do it for me, for us

She kissed him on the lips then he looked straight at her eyes

I love you mahal, take care, goodnight

He closed his eyes and sat down at the chair on the side, he cried his heart out, it was true, it's almost 3 years since she died,

It's all my fault, if I was quick enough, then maybe she would have still been here, with us he murmured to himself

He was strong infront of his family and friends but never when he was alone, he couldn't bother himself to start dating again, he knew from his heart that she was irreplaceable

All of a sudden the bedroom door opened, two small beings came inside, Bongbong was startled when someone touched his legs

Papa? His children asked

Oh, Mga anak! What are you doing here? He asked may kailangan ba kayo kay daddy nyo?

Wala naman po papa, we tried to sleep pero hindi po talaga kami inaantok Tricia stated

Papa why are you crying? Simon asked

He smiled and wiped away his tears, wala to mga anak, i just remembered your mama, you know what? Hali nga kayo dito!

He stated then he came and picked them both up which caused the children to giggle

Papa I miss mama Simon stated

I miss him too anak, pero I'm sure your mama is at her resting place now, I'm sure binabantayan nya kayo

You really think so papa? Tricia asked

I'm positive anak he stated while looking at his kids, do you see the stars in the sky?

Opo papa they both replied

One of them is your mama, she's watching us! Kaya don't ever think na wala na ang mama nyo, kasi she's always beside you guiding you two, hindi man physically pero nandyan sya always remember that mga anak ha!

Opo papa! The children stated and giggled then the three looked at the view from the balcony

Leni looked at them from behind, she smiled and went near to them, she hugged her family, she missed them so much

Bongbong felt the wind blew, he looked around and saw no one, he looked at his kids who were now fast asleep

Goodnight Mahal

Those were his final words before leaving the balcony and returning inside the room
