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 last thing I want as a mother is to see my own son wreck his life and break it... I hate you. I hated you because the boy that I loved and cherished my whole life was wrecked by you. Nanay lang ako. Nanay lang ako na nasasaktan sa pinagdaanan ng anak ko"
"Mrs. Quijero... I... I'm really sorry... pinagsisisihan at pagsisisihan ko po yun buong buhay ko..."
"Just answer my question. Do you love my son?"
"Yes. I love him. I love him with all my heart" diretsong sagot ni Trixie
"Xie..."
"And I will promise you... the son that you loved so deeply... will never experience that pain again"
Imbis na sumagot, tumalikod lang si mama
"Ma..."
"That's all I wanted. To know if she'll be ready to fight for you now. And love you. That's all a mother wants for her child" sambit ni mama looking at me and all I was able to do was run up to my mom and hug her
My mom hugged me back and I swear it felt good
"Mama I want a hug too!" Sambit ni Zac pulling Trixie towards us bago niyakap ang binti namin ng lola niya.
Trixie was hesitant to hug us but my mom pulled her in and spoke up
"I trust my son to you again Trixie... please don't hurt him"
"I won't ma'am"
"Mama, Trixie"
"M-mama"
Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko to hug them both
"River Quijero you're hugging me too tight!" Reklamo ni mama but I didn't let go
"Thank you ma... thank you"
Trixie's PoV
"Ma'am... I... I mean ma... can you join us for... lunch?"
"What's your dish?" Taas kilay na tanong ni Mrs. Quijero sa akin
"Your favorite ma... carbonara" River said holding my waist close to him.
"Really? Is it good?"
"Be the judge ma."
"A-ano... hindi po ako... kwan professional I... I just learned that by... by my mom. Uhm."
"Well... this little boy's food seemed pretty okay to me when he showed me" sambit ni Mrs. Quijero as she booped my son's nose making Zac giggle
"N-nakita niyo po?" Tanong ko pa dito
"Well... he came into my office while I was talking with an employee"
"S-sorry po! Nag-cr lang po kasi ako... ano sinabihan ko naman si Zac na wag lalabas... sorry--"
"Aren't we done with that earlier? Besides... he seemed to know you prepared some dish for me and intended to give them but brought his own food instead. This little kid knows how to listen and do things"
"Ma..."
"Let's head to the pantry? Shall we?"
"T-tara po" sambit ko about to hold Zac's hand but she lifted him up instead before starting to walk away. Napatingin ako kay River and he just held my hand and smiled at me before kissing my forehead and following his mom and our son.
"Hmm"
Parang lalabas yung puso ko sa dibdib ko waiting on how Mrs. Quijero will judge my food... alam ko nagkaayos na kami kanina but still this food was intended to be that "apology food" baka mamaya... baka mamaya nagmess up ako.
"Relax Xie hahaha"
"River naman wag ka nga" sambit ko dito but my ears were focused with his mom
"This is good"
"T-talaga po?"
"Mmhm. You better give this to me whenever I visit huh?"
Parang nawala lahat ng bigat sa dibdib ko and a smile was formed on my face.
"Hey hahaha calm down" sambit ni River because my feet wanted to jump from joy
Nang hawakan ni River ang kamay ko all I was able to do was jump on him... na medyo pinagsisihan ko seconds later.
"You guys know you're in a public place right?" Sambit ni Mrs. Quijero making my son giggle again at nagpaayos saken ng upo. Kasi medyo ano... napakandong ako paharap sa asawa ko.
"Is Zac's sibling coming?" Tanong pa ng mama ni Zac na nagpapula sa mukha ko but they all just laughed it off. Pati anak ko tumatawa kahit di naman niya naiintindihan ibig sabihin ng sinabi ng lola niya
NAKAKAHIYA!!!!
River's PoV
"Kukuha lang po ako ng tubig" sambit ni Trixie before she stood up and left
"You love her so much, don't you?"
"Am I that obvious ma?"
"If three years of you wrecking yourself is not enough to say that it's obvious how much you love that girl. I don't know what else is needed"
"Sorry ma... I just... need her"
"It's okay to love River... but never forget to leave something for yourself. Yun ang hindi ko gusto sa ginawa mo netong mga nakaraang taon. You can love without sacrificing everything including yourself. Inubos ko sarili ko sa tatay mo. I hated when you did it too"
"I guess I got my attitude from you?" Pabirong sambit ko sa nanay ko na tumalim ang tingin saken
"Thank you ma. Really"
"Stop being mushy and just make sure to help your wife out with your kid. Our life is not perfect as a family but you can make your own kind of perfect River"
"I know ma. Thank you" sambit ko before Trixie came back and assisted our son to finish his food
