MY HANDSOME PROFESSOR (ON-GOING)

CHAPTER 3

CHAPTER 3

PIETRO WAS walking inside his house when he heard a loud voice coming on his way.

“Dada! Dada!” It was his son, Piero, calling him as he run towards him. May nakasunod ritong Yaya ng anak niya at nakaabang kung sakali mang matumba sa pagtakbo nito.

With a smile on his face, sinalubong niya ang anak. “Gotcha, baby!” Pietro exclaimed when he got Piero. “How was the day of my baby?”  Tanong niya sa anak nang tuluyan na itong mabuhat.

“Nice, Dada!” He exclaimed.

Pietro laugh heartedly when Piero made a bubble in his mouth. “You are very cute. Mana kay Mama.” Malapad ang ngiting sabi niya sa anak.

Piero brows met. Uhh, parang siya lang. “Mama?” Nagtatakhang tanong nito.

Tumango siya sa anak, “yup”. He said with popping 'p'. “Mama, your mother.”

“Mama! Mama! Mama!” Nasisiyahang sambit ng anak sa mama nito. 

Pietro suddenly felt empathy for his son. Piero didn't had the chance to feel his mothers warmth. He could feel that Piero is longing for his mother but he could not do anything but to wait for the right time.

Makakasama mo rin si Mama, anak.

Bumaling siya kay Tebby na babysitter ng anak niya. “Kumusta si Piero?” Tanong niya sa batang si Tebby.

Nakita niya ito sa lansangan noon at napagdesisyonan nalang niyang iuwi sa bahay niya at kahit papaano ay may naging tagapag-alaga ni Piero.

He don't trust easily, but Pietro trust Tebby for taking care of Piero. At hindi siya nagkamali. Makulit at magaslaw ang anak niya at alam niyang nakapapagod naman talaga ngunit ni minsan ay hindi ito nagreklamo at laging may ngiti sa mga labi.

Halos kaedaran lamang ito ng asawa niya. Tebby is home schooled, she has a trauma in crowded place and she have sociaphobia. Lumalabas ito ngunit hindi gaano o hindi kaya kapag sasamahan lang ang anak niya.

Ngumiti naman ang dalaga sa kaniya. “Hay naku po, Ser! Ayan hong si Piero ay napakakulit na lalo na't natutong maglakad. Pero kahit ganon ay maayos naman ang buong araw ng bata at kumain ng tatlong beses ngayong araw.” Magiliw na sabi ni Tebby kay Pietro.

Bahagya siyang natawa sa pagiging energetic nito. Tebby stayed here for more than 1 year, at masasabi niyang hyper lagi ito.

“Well, thank you for that, Tebby. You can now rest, I'll take care of my son.” Tebby nodded and kiss Piero's forehead before going upstairs.

Pietro could see that Tebby is treating Piero as her brother, and he's thankful for that. Tinuturing niya rin naman itong kapamilya, ngunit hindi bilang isang anak.

Imagine you have a wife that same age with Tebby and you will call her daughter?

Natawa si Pietro sa naiisip. That is epic, indeed.

Pietro straightly went to his room on the second floor while Piero was still in his arms. He put down Piero on the soft mattress and change his clothes into pajamas and turn on the tv.

They watch cartoons until Piero fell asleep. He sighed and carry Piero to the nursery room and put him on his bed crib. Malawak iyon kaya komportable itong matulog. Mayroon lang mga harang sa bawat gilid para maiwasan ang pagkahulog.

He kissed Piero's forehead and both side of his cheeks then cover him with a soft sheet. Chineck niya rin ang ac dahil hindi kayang mag-survive ng anak niya sa mainit na lugar.
