Kasal kayo pero sa tuwing mananaginip siya pangalan ng ex niya binabanggit nito, and you hear his every plea everytime he says her name. May anak kayo pero sa tingin mo wala kayong halaga sa kanya dahil dito. You hear him say things he's never told...
The whole day she was... so bubbly and sweet... she smiles and says comforting words to me and I can't explain how much that means to me.
"Xie..."
"Hm?" Sambit nito as she watches her favorite tv show. Napansin yata niyang di ako nagsasalita kaya nilingon niya ako
"May problema?"
"Wala..." sambit ko na lang as I fix my position on the sofa. Zac is having his afternoon nap habang si yaya naman ehh lumabas para maggrocery.
"River..." she spoke up and held my hand kaya napatingin ako sa kanya
"You're still scared, aren't you?"
"I... I don't know... I just don't want to do anything that would be wrong... and cause you guys to leave again..."
"River, I told you we're not gonna leave you alone"
"I know I'm sorry"
"Can you please promise me one thing?"
"What is it?"
"That... you'll trust me... that I'm not going to leave you behind again. I'll do everything... to earn that trust I promise"
"I trust you Xie"
"But I know you still think I'm leaving. So I... I have to do my best to make sure that I never do that again"
"Xie..."
"Come on... I already feel awful leaving you daddy, don't cry" sambit niya wiping my face but my ears were left on what she called me
"W-what did you say?"
"Huh?"
"What did you... what did you call me?"
She smiled before repeating the best words I heard in a long time
"Daddy?"
Trixie's PoV
"Ay! Hahaha!" Sambit ko na lang kasi halos mapahiga ako when he hugged me after I called him daddy. Naisip ko lang naman kasi... tatay naman siya ng anak ko so walang masama kung yun ang itatawag ko sa kanya 😅
"Happy? Hmm?" Sambit ko tapping his back and his hug tightened
"Trust me okay? Please trust me again River... daddy" sambit ko sa kanya as we hugged each other
The next day River left to go to the company for a board meeting and I prepared his breakfast. Pero naisip ko na dalhan siya ng lunch so I cooked him some food bago ko hinabilin kay yaya si Zac at umalis papuntang office niya
"Hi" sambit ko sa receptionist
"Yes mam?"
"I'm here for Mr. Quijero?"
"What's your relation to Sir Quijero mam?"
"I'm... I'm his wife" sambit ko. I know I didn't even deserve to be called his wife but I am working my way to redeem myself for him.
I was waiting in the front desk but then one of the employees whispered something to the receptionist I talked to before looking at something underneath the desk
"Mam... sorry. You're not allowed to step inside"
"Why?"
"Mam Elizabeth has instructed us to do so. I'm sorry"
"Oh uhm then please give this to my husband na lang pwede?" Sambit ko after hearing River's mom's name
"We'll be sure to deliver this mam"
"Thank you" sambit ko smiling at them before texting River
I brought you lunch. I'll wait for you at home daddy :)
After I sent this I was about to head out but my phone rang and nakita ko na lang na si River yun kaya sinagot ko agad
"Hey? No meetings?"
"Where are you?"
"I'm about to leave the building why?"
"Stay there"
"Hala huy wag ka nang bumaba may meetings ka ata!" Sambit ko sa kanya but I just heard him gasping for breath as if running
"Hey! Relax! I'm not leaving don't run River!" Pagkalma ko dun sa nasa telepono and I heard the elevator beep bago nawala yung tawag senyales na nasa loob na siya ng elevator
I waited near the building exit kasi baka isipin pa nung nasa reception eh may balak ako sumalisi. The least I want right now is a bad light. Lalong lalo na sa paningin ng mama ni River. I can't mess up right now.
"Xie!" I immediately turned around at sumalubong na lang saken ang yakap ng asawa ko
"Hey... haha. Bakit ka pa bumaba?"
"Why didn't you come up?"
"Well... I'm apparently... banned by your mom here River"
"What?! What kind of shit is that?!"
"River relax, okay? I understand her. Kunin mo na yung lunch mo dun sa reception. Hintayin na lang kita sa bahay"
"Trixie no"
"River I'm okay. Promise. I just wanted to bring you lunch that's all. Ayoko ng gulo okay?"
"But this is—"
"Enough daddy. I know my wrongs. I know her anger. I'm going to prove myself worthy of her trust as well. I don't want her to think I'm working my way in just because you said so. Gusto ko din patunayan sarili ko sa mama mo"
"Trixie..."
"I prepared a bit more than your usual serving. Where's my kiss?" Sambit ko to calm him down and he did kiss me
"I'll wait for you at home, hmm?"
"I love you, Xie..."
"I love you too, River"
"Wait" sambit niya again shocked
"What? Haha"
"Did you... did you just respond you love me too?"
"Yes? Haha. Why?"
"I... I haven't heard that in years... Xie..."
"River naman wag ka nga umiyak dito nakakahiya hahaha of course I love you. Hmm? Sige na"
"Say it again..."
"I... love... you" sambit ko before he hugged me and we said our goodbyes
