One Yesterday (The Royalties Secret Series Bk1)

One First Night

-Lea's POV-

Inunahan na niya si Aga na lumabas ng study room, naglalakad na siya pabalik sa living area ng abutan siya ni Aga.

"Babes, bakit mo naman ako iniwan? Remember we're supposed to be sweet?" Anito at hinawakan ang kamay niya. Aalisin niya sana ngunit nakita na sila nila Mama Anita.

"Oh, Lea, Aga? Nagka usap na ba kayo?" Nakataas ang kilay na tanong ni Mama Anita ngunit napangiti ng makitang magkahawak kamay sila.

"Oh I see.. so Aga kelan ka lilipat dito?" Dagdag pang tanong nito.

"Tonight Mom. I'll just fetch my clothes sa condo ko. I miss my wife kaya hindi ko din naman kaya na sa malayo pa matulog tonight diba babes?" Tila nakakalokong kinindatan pa siya nito at hinalikan pa siya sa pisngi.

Good thing they are both multi-awarded actors hindi halatang nagpapanggap lang sila. So she smiled at him.

"Yes Ma. We already settled our differences for our kids kaya starting today, dito na po kaming mag-anak until our house is renovated right babes?" Malambing niyang tanong kay Aga and he nodded naman.

"Kuu, ang mga batang ito oo! Lea why don't you go with Aga sa Condo niya at doon muna kayo matulog ngayong gabi para hindi kayo maabala ng mga bata?" Nanunuksong sabi naman ni Papa Al.

"Sure why not diba babes? So we can catch up na din?" Pinanlakihan naman niya ng mata si Aga, ngunit kinindatan lang siya nito.

Patay ka Lea, unang gabi pa lang mapapa laban ka na?! Bulong naman ng isang bahagi ng isip niya.

"What about the twins? I'm sure hahanapin nila tayo?" Agaw pa niya.

"Ay! Don't worry about the twins kami na ang bahala, mag enjoy kayo ah?" Nanunukso pang kantiyaw ni Almira.

"Let's go?" -Aya sa kanya ni Aga

"Wait! Like right now? I need to get clothes pa!" Protesta niya.

"You don't have to babes, I'll make sure you won't need them tonight" bulong sa kanya ni Aga dahilan upang tayuan siya ng balahibo.

"Ano Lea? Handa ka na ba?"

"Wait for me here Babes okay?" She said instead at dali-daling umakyat sa kwarto nila upang kumuha ng damit.

The drive going to Aga's condo is making Lea pissed.

She really hates the traffic in Manila, isa ito sa bagay na hindi niya na miss dito sa Pilipinas.

"Tell me something about our kids Lea, God I don't even know their names, their birthday, their favorites. I missed a lot." Aga asked fraustratedly.

Huminga naman ng malalim si Lea. She felt guilty because Aga is right. Kahit naghiwalay sila she didn't have to hide the kids from him.

"Their names are Azariel Leandro but we call him "Azi" and Avyrielle Leandra, we call her "Avy" and they are both Muhlachs by the way. They were born on October 22nd of 1997. I was 3 weeks pregnant when I left." Ngumiti naman siya ng mapait at natahimik naman si Aga.

"About their favorites, you'll have to ask them yourself so you can bond with them at makilala mo pa sila ng husto all I can say is that they got almost everything from you, except for their voices which they got from me of course."

Natawa naman si Aga sa sinabi ni Lea.

"That's great! I'm actually seeing little broadway diva in Avy. She really looks like you. They seem like their nice kids. You did good in raising them Lei. Oh and by the way they have nice names." He said with a mix of sadness and joy on his voice.
