Getting on my Pants

GOMP 48 - Not a Goodbye

Chapter 48

>>>Paige's POV

Hinalikan ko sina Summer at Winter sa noo habang tahimik na umiiyak. Napili kong umalis habang tulog sila dahil baka hindi ko kayaning umalis nang nakikita ko silang umiiyak. This will be the first time that I won't be seeing them everyday. Since the day they were born, I always make sure not to pass a day without seeing them. Pero ngayon, kailangan kong humiwalay muna sa kanila pansamantala hindi dahil gusto ko kundi dahil kailangan.

Maingat kong sinara ang pinto nila. Pumasok ako sa kwarto namin ni Aidan para kunin ang mga gamit ko nang biglang may humila nang kamay ko at niyakap ako nang mahigipit. Napapikit ako at biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. I think, for the rest of my life, he will always makes my heart skip a beat or makes it beat wildly.

"Come back to us, baby. Soon. We will always wait for you whether you'll come back here or there we'll go to where you are. It hurts to see you leave but I can understand that you need this, we need this. Just keep in mind that I love you so much and the next time you will hear it, it will be the start of our forever,"Aidan said with a cracked voice.

It pained me to hear him but I can't back out now. We have so many issues to settle first.

Inalis ko ang pagkakayakap nya sa 'kin at humarap sa kanya. Ikinulong ko ang mukha nya sa dalawa kong kamay at umiiyak na nginitian ko sya,"I love you, baby. Thank you for giving me this," and then I pressed my lips to his. Not a passionate or a gentle one. I just want to feel how good his lips pressed against mine, how perfectly matched our lips with each other. I love him too much so I want to do this right. After a long while, I step back. "Take care of our kids and yourself. You, three, are my life,"

"You don't need to ask for it. Take care of yourself, baby, because you have my life with you,"he said tenderly.

Hinatid lang ako ng driver nina Aidan papuntang airport dahil na rin ayoko ngang magpahatid kahit kanino sa kanila. Aidan insisted on that but in the end, I got what I want. And besides, this is not a goodbye.

>>>Aidan's POV

I watched her walk away towards the airport. Kahit na sinabi nyang wag sya ihatid, gusto ko pa ring sulitin ang oras na nakikita sya. I will patiently wait for her and I know that she will find her way back.

Nang hindi ko na sya makita, tinawagan ko ang isang tao na alam kung kahit kailan, hindi sya papabayan.

"Don't let those fvcking bastards hurt her. Take care of her for me,"sabi ko nang sagutin nya ung tawag ko.

"You don't need to tell me that, Aldeguer. Don't you remember that she was mine,"sarcastic na sabi sa 'kin ng nasa kabilang linya.

"Just fvcking take care of her, Adams,"

"You owe me a lot, Aldeguer. One day, you'll pay for it,"he said and ended the call.

Huminga ako nang malalim at tumalikod na papuntang kotse ko. River's right. I owe him a lot but I'm ready to pay for it because he gave me back my life. And I don't fvking care what kind of payment he wants. But for now, I need him to make sure that he will do his damn best to take care of Paige and help her with her problem. With his connection, he can help Paige.

Pagdating ko sa bahay, sinalubong agad ako ni Summer.

"Daddy!"sigaw ni Summer at yumakap agad sa 'kin. She was crying. "I miss Mommy already,"

Umupo ako para magtapat kami. "I miss her too, princess. But you know why she did this, right?"

Umiiyak na tumango sya.

"Then, we just need to trust in her that she'll come back to us,"nakangiting sabi ko sa kanya. Pagkatapos binuhat ko sya papasok ng bahay. "Where's Winter?"

"Nasa garden po. Kalaro nya si kuya Aki. He said that Mom doesn't leave us so we don't need to be sad. Pero po, I can't help but miss Mommy,"she said. Then she sniffed and hugged me.

"Smile, princess. Your mom also misses you but she doesn't want to see you cry. You can always call her everytime you want. Your brother's right. Kaya habang wala ang mommy nyo, maglalaro tayo nang maglalaro. Walang magsasaway sa 'tin,"

She giggled while wiping her tears. "And we can eat all we want we eat. No commander-in-chief and no principal,"

"Don't let your mom hear you saying that, okay?"nakangiti ko nang sabi.

"Oopppss,"natatawang sabi nya at iniligay nya ung kamay nya sa bibig.

We will let Paige heal her wounds. But for now, we will happily waiting for her. She's the pillar of our family.

>>>Paige's POV

Pinunasan ko ang luha ko nang marinig ko ang piloto na inanunsyo na palapag na ang eroplano. Nagretouch ako at pinilit na wag umiyak ulit.

I'm expecting the media to be present when I stepped out of the airport. I need to face them with a strong faćade even if I'm vulnerable in the inside. I planned on ignoring them until I talked with the management. I already received their e-mail before I left. They were planning to sue me. Breech of contract. But before I face them, I need to talk to River first.

Habang hila-hila ko ang maleta ko, nagkislapan ang camera sa mukha ko. ang daming nagtatanong about sa mga anak ko at sa kaso ng management sa 'kin pero wala akong pinansin na kahit sino. Sumasakit ang ulo ko sa kislap ng camera kaya mabilis akong lumakad palayo sa kanila. Mabuti na lang, tinulungan ako ng airport personnel. Kanina ko pa hinahanap ung sundo ko pero hindi ko sya makita kaya napagdesisyunan ko na lang magtaxi. Nang malapit na ko sa isang taxi, may malakas na humila sa 'kin.

Sasawayin ko dapat sya nang yakapin nya ko. "I miss you, Paige. Sorry I'm late,"
