Chapter 41

>>>Aidan' POV

Days ago...

"Kids, can I talk to you for a while?"I said tentatively to Summer and Winter. Pinuntahan ko sila sa entertainment room.

Lumingon sila sa 'kin mula sa panonood ng Spongebob.

"Okay po. About po saan?"magalang na tanong ni Winter. Pinatay naman ni Summer ung TV. Nakita ata nilang seryoso ang pag-uusapan namin. This is one of the things thag I like about my kids, they know when to get serious. To think na ang babata pa nila. Perhaps, the harsh reality of life and their natural intelligence made them what they are now. And of course, with Paige's guidance.
Umupo ako sa harap nila at tinitigan sila. I'm a little bit nervous. Mahirap pala ito. Akala ko madali lang kasi mga anak ko naman kakausapin ko.

"Dad?"untag ni Winter nang hindi pa rin ako nagsasalita.

Huminga ako nang malalim. Then I took the small red velvet box from my pocket and show it to them.

"Y-you're going to propose?"nanlalaki ang matang tanong ni Summer. Si Winter, nanatili lang nakatingin doon sa box.

"Yes, princess. I'm going to ask your mom to marry me. But first, I want to ask for your approval,"kinakabahang sabi ko.

I've already talked to Paige's Dad. Pumayag na sya at dadating sya sa araw ng kasal para ihatid si Paige sa altar at iyan ay kung papayag si Paige. Tinawagan ko rin si River. I want to start anew. Ayoko namang ibypass sya. Lalaki rin ako kaya alam ko ang nararamdaman nya. Even if I'm jealous of him, it won't change the fact that I owe him alot. He'd been with Paige during those times that I wasn't there. He also given us a chance to be a family. I also know that Paige loves him in her own way and my kids treated him as their second father.

"Of course, you're free to marry our mom, Dad. You love each other and that what matters,"masayang sabi ni Summer at yumakap sa 'kin.

"Winter?"tanong ko kay Winter.

"I agree with Summer, Dad. I appreciate this. But, don't hurt our Mom, Dad,"seryoso nyang sabi.

"Winter! You're too overprotective,"reklamo ni Summer sa kapatid.

Ginulo ko ang buhok ni Winter. "I won't. I love your Mom very much, more than the life itself,"I said seriously. I would rather die than hurt Paige and my kids. They are my life and I won't do anything that will make me lose them.

Tumayo si Winter at pumunta sa kabila kong braso. Niyakap nya ako bago sinabing,"Thank, Dad. We're lucky to have you as our father. I love you,"

Parang may mainit na kamay ang humaplos sa puso ko.

"I love you, both. Mas maswerte ako dahil kayo ang naging mga anak ko,"I said softly before hugging them.

"Yehey! We're going to propose to Mom!"masayang sigaw ni Summer.

"Shhh!!!"sabay na sabi namin ni Winter.

"Dad, soundproof po ito di ba?"pilyang sabi ni Summer.

Napatapik na lang ako sa noo. Tama kasi sya.

>>>Paige's POV

Present day...

"What is the meaning of this?"kinakabahan pero excited na tanong ko sa kanila.
Summer and Winter went to my side and guided me in front of their father who is smiling widely. Pagkatapos, iniwan nila kami at pumunta na ulit sa dati nilang pwesto.

Aidan handed me the yellow tulips. He looks uncertain with his moves even is he's smiling. Maingat kong kinuha ung flowers. Ang ganda nung mga flowers. Para tuloy gusto kong ipaframe at ipapreserve. Ngayon lang nya kasi ako binigyan ng yellow tulips. Before kasi, laging flowers na nasa pot ung binibigay nya. "Thank you for the flowers. Pero, anong ibig sabihin nito?"
