Getting on my Pants

GOMP 19 - Life

Chapter 19

Pagbukas nya ng pinto, bumungad sa kin ang itsura nya, messy hair, nakakangalumata, amoy-alak. Naguilty na naman ako dahil ako may kagagawan nito.

I hugged him tight and said,"Sorry, babe,"

Hindi nya tinugon ung sinabi ko pati ung yakap ko kaya pinagpatuloy ko ung paghingi ng tawad. "I'm sorry for not considering you about Aidan, for not telling you about him, for not trusting you enough about all of this. I'm sorry. I know you have all the right to be mad at me,"
Hindi ko na natuloy ung sasabihin ko dahil naiiyak na ko. The guilt was consuming me.
Napabuntong hininga muna sya at inilayo nya ko ng bahagya. Tinignan nya ko sa mata at sabing,"I'm not mad, Paige, I'm hurt. Aidan is part of your life no matter what happens. Kahit anong gawin ko hindi ko na yun mababago. I can bear it. But hiding me the truth about him really hurts. I love you, Paige, very much. I asked you to become my girlfriend because of that. I became part of your life but when Aidan came into picture, I don't know if I'm still part of it because you don't let me know about him,"

"I'm sorry. That's all I can say. Honestly, I don't know how to tell you about him. Isa pa, kahit ako, nagulat sa biglaang sulpot nya," pag-amin ko nang nakayuko. I can't bear seeing River's eyes because it's too sad and I know I'm the reason behind it.

Nagulat ako nang niyakap nya ako nang mahigpit.

"Babe, I'm your male bestfriend before we became a couple. You can tell me all the things that's bothering you. All I'm asking from you is trust. I'm not asking for every detail about you and Aidan. This is hard for me but as long as you're trusting me those things concerning him, I'll live. So, can you give me that trust?"

I hugged him back and said,"Yes,"

"I kept telling myself since yesterday that I won't talk to you for a week or longer, but seeing you now, I know I can't do it,"

"So, bati na tayo?"nakangiti ko nang sabi.

"Hmmm. Yes, but in one condition,"

Inilayo ko ung sarili ko sa kanya.

"What? May kondisyon pa?"nakalabi kong sabi.

"Of course, babe,"pilyo nyang sabi.

"Ano?"

"This,"sabi nya sabay kabig sa batok ko at siniil ako sa halik.

Napapikit na lang ako habang tinutugon ung halik nya. Napahawak rin ako sa balikat nya habang ninanamnam ung halik. This is different from our kisses before. River's always gentle. He always make sure that he makes me feel special just because of a kiss. But now, the kiss is so passionate. The way his mouth moves on mine, how he managed to make me open my mouth to welcome his advances, the way his playful tounge played with mine, its too sensual. When I'm about to return with equal passion, he stopped and hugged me tightly. We're still catching our breath.

"Why did you stop?"I asked him.

"Because I might be able to stop myself from asking for more and you know, I won't do that to you. You deserves more than this. Isa pa, pakasalan mo muna ako bago mo ko matikman. Kawawa naman ang puri ko nun,"biro nya sa kin.

"Thank you, babe. For everything, for loving me this much that I don't think I'm worthy of. Wag kang mag-alala, hindi ko dudumihan ang puri mo,"

Natawa naman sya ng malakas bago seryosong nagsalita,"You're worth it because you're a great person. And thank you for letting me love you. I love you, babe, more than you'll ever know,"

"I love you,too,"sagot ko. Then Aidan's handsome face suddenly crossed my mind. I immediately brushed him off my mind.

Pagkatapos, nilayo ko ang sarili ko kay River,"Amoy-alak ka babe, maligo ka muna then kainin natin ung dala ko,"

"I've got another idea. Why don't you help be with the bathing part then we eat together?"

"You wish,"natatawang sabi ko bago sya tinulak papuntang kwarto nya.

I'm grateful I have him. Sana lang hindi ko sya masaktan sa mga desisyong gagawin ko.

>>>Aidan's POV

"Daddy, mahirap po bang maging matanda?"tanong sa kin ni Summer habang pinapatulog ko sila nung hapon na iyon. Wala pa rin si Paige kaya nagstay na lang ako sa bahay nila para rin makasama ung mga anak ko.

"Bakit mo natanong?"

"Because you have to do all the things for yourself and for your family and besides you have to make decisions. I'm always curious about how Mom manage our lives and her career at the same time,"

"Princess, most things in the world is not easy. They always say that life is not easy to begin with. When you gets older, you get more responsibilites and you have problems to deal with. Decision making is also a difficult one. But there are also things that you'll be grateful you're older. You just have to manage your life properly, deciding what you think is right and what would benefit you and others and living you're life to the fullest. When you have a family, its always the priority just like what you and your Mom are doing for both of you,"mahabang sabi ko.

"What if I've made a wrong decision?"tanong naman ni Winter.

"Then make up for it, charge it to experience,"

"Daddy, did you ever made a wrong decision that made a great impact on you?"---Summer.

"Yes,"

"What is it?"

"Letting your Mom leave,"pag-amin ko sa kanila. Siguro kung hiningan ko lang ng paliwanag si Paige dati, isa na sana kaming masayang pamilya. Wala na sanang nahihirapan ngayon.

"So, are you willing to make up for it?"---Summer.

"If she let me. But unfortunately, she already had a boyfriend,"

"Winter and I talked this morning. We're willing to help you with Mom. We also decided to look for Tito River's partner because we love him,"

Sasagot sana ako nang tumunog ung phone ko.

"Hello, Dad. I'm with the kids. What? Okay, I'll meet them. Say my regards to Mom. Take care. Bye," sabi ko pagkatapos inend ko na ung call.

"Is it Lolo?"tanong ni Winter.

"Yes, baby. I need to go back to Philippines immediately to settle some problems regarding the company,"malungkot na sabi ko. Kung ako lang, ayokong mawalay sa mga anak ko pero kailangan dahil ung isang investor daw, ako ang gustong makausap nang personal.

"Do you really have to go?"malungkot na tanong ni Summer.

"Unfortunately, yes,"
"When will you come back?"tanong ni Winter.

"As soon as I've settled the problem. But don't worry, I'll call you both every hour,"

"But Daddy---"

"Summer, it's okay. We can also use this to bring Dad and Mom together,"sabi ni Winter kay Summer.

"What do you mean?"nagtatakang tanong ko kay Winter.

My kids are starting to do their plan. I don't know if this is right but I know, I want this.
