Hidden Conviction (2)

Chapter 54

"I just said, alimasag...bakit may tahong?" I raised my eyebrow seeing her smiling not too cutely pero cute talaga.

We are here in Villaber because she said we should pay a visit to Dad, and today is Saturday kaya nasa barangay ang mga bata because the municipal council thought of a Seminar for the people in here and the three said they want to accompany Dad.

"I miss eating tahong." Really? "Gusto ko sana raw." Naningkit ang mata ko hearing that. "Pero yung sayo lang...aray!" Her mouth is dirty, ang aga pa. "Love, nagtatampo na ako." She's pouting her lips already.

"You wash these, and boil it for like 7 to 8 minutes." I replied. "Nagdadabog ka?" When I felt how heavy her steps are.

"Ha, hindi ah. Sino may sabi?" Psh. "Sayang." I continue chopping the vegetables and I could hear her murmuring kaya napailing nalang ako. Bakit ba kaya niyang maging cute at annoying?

"Yael, can you just sit inside?" Ang annoying niya talaga. We're doing the laundry...I mean I am doing it pero gusto niya daw sumali when I am halfway done pero wala naman siyang ibang ginawa kundi maglaro ng bula.

"I like sitting here." Oh gosh.

"You banlaw these." She blew a lot of bubbles to me bago sumunod kaya nabato ko siya ng brush. "Kusotin mong mabuti. Those are white." She smiled and tap the water na nasa palanggana. Bwisit talaga.

"I'll stop na...a-a...awww!" Good thing sabon ang nahawakan ko at hindi yung panghilod.

"Lumayas ka sa harap ko." Hindi na ako natutuwa. "Isa." She pouted her lips pero naiirita talaga ako. "Dal...."

"Love, hindi na. Promise." I rolled my eyes. "Ako na here, come on." Tinaasan ko lang siya ng kilay. "I can do it. It's your rest day, diba?" Oo, pero ang pang-aasar niya walang rest day.

"What are you doing?" She just smiled as she carry me towards our room.

"I'm sorry." Naningkit na naman ang mata ko. "Here, call me if you need something ah. I love you." What's happening? She left me here in the bathroom looking so confused.

My lips formed an 'o' when I saw how refreshing the living room is. Malamig sa pakiramdam pati sa mata. Nakatulog ako, it's already a quarter to 11 kaya maghahanda na ako for lunch pero mukhang hindi na kailangan hearing the noise in the kitchen bonus na ang magandang boses niya.

"Oh, you're awake. Here's your tea." Today is different. I could feel it. Pag inaasar niya ako...it takes how many hours pero ngayon maikli lang. Baka mamaya na naman ulit, let see.

"Thank you." She just smiled and took a peck at my head. "What are you preparing?" Ang bango kasi.

"The dip." I get it when I saw two slabs of pork belly na nasa tabi. "I have your vegetable salad too." Oh.

"Mommy!" I went out and see, oh. "Look! We played and then tsaran!" Yael is laughing her ass out as she gathers the three towards the faucet.

"They swam in the flour." I know, stupid. I can see it. Umalis sila kanina na nice and clean tapos pag-uwi mukhang mga...oh gosh. "Baby sugar, close your eyes." Napangiwi ako when Haxy didn't at mas dinilat pa ang mata niya.

"Papa said they have prices but they already ate it." I hummed as I washed their hair. Baka may pumasok na harina sa tenga ng mga to.

I sighed, I told them to take a nap at hindi mag wrestling. The bed is a mess. Gosh, magdadagdag pa ba kami ng anak? Itong tatlo pa lang matutuyo na ang utak ko pag umandar ang kakulitan eh tapos yung panganay ko pa ang pasimuno. Oh goodness.

"Go, mommy!" Shit.

"Yael, let go." This stupid is really testing my patience. Tama talaga na may part two ang kakulitan niya. "Dimwit, pag ako gumanti ha." She just laughed as the three keeps on cheering.
