Chapter 16: FAMILY PICTURE

"Uh... I hope that you and Lyrae can come to the company later," nag-aalangang sabi ni Sean habang kumakain kami ng breakfast.

Pinakilala niya rin sa amin ang nakuha niyang yaya ni Lyrae na si Paula. Mabuti na lang at agad silang nagkasundo ng anak ko.

"Bakit po, Daddy?" naunahan na ako ni Lyrae sa pagtatanong.

I'm happy that Lyrae's already used in calling him "Daddy." I hope that it was able to ease the pain that I've caused him.

"We're looking for a child model who will advertise the new package of Sarto arilines. I thought that maybe you can be the model." Sean explained.

Lyrae suddenly went hyper than she was yesterday. Pinasyal kami ni Sean sa amusement park kahapon at walang duda na nakatulong 'yon para higit na mapalapit sa kanya ang aming anak. Ngayon, tinatawag na niyang Daddy si Sean. Lyrae's very easy to please. I can see the overflowing excitement that's radiating in her body.

"I'm gonna be a commercial model, Daddy?" she asked Sean.

"Well, yes kind of," sagot naman ni Sean. "Other than photoshoots, you will also be shooting a commercial for television ads. You will work along with other actors that we signed for our last commercial."

We ate our breakfast with Lyrae who keeps on blattering about her excitement on doing a photoshoot for advertisement. She's so happy that she's going to be televised on TV.

Nauna nang pumunta si Sean sa Sarto habang kami naman ni Lyrae at nagsimula nang mag-ayos at maghanda para sa pagpunta namin doon.

"Paula, pakiasikaso na lang si Lyrae. Hintayin mo siyang matapos maligo. Maliligo rin kasi ako," utos ko kay Paula.

"Sige po, Ma'am," sabi niya at agad na umakyat sa taas upang sundin ang aking inutos.

Napagdesisyunan kong doon na lang maligo sa kwarto namin dati ni Sean. Dahan-dahan at nag-aalangan ko pang binuksan ang pinto ng kwarto. Nagpapasalamat akong hindi iyon naka-lock.

The interior of the bedroom slightly changed. The walls and ceilings were painted with different colors. Natabunan na ng cream carpet ang dating wood floor ng kwarto.

Ang sinabit ko sa wall na picture noong kasal namin ay nandoon pa rin kung saan ko iyon sinabit. Hindi rin nabago ang pwesto at ayos ng mini shelf ko kung saan nakalagay ang collection kong libro.

Dala ng kuryosidad, nagawa ko pang buksan ang walk in closet at nakita kong naroon pa rin ang mga gamit ko at mukhang napangalagaan pa nang mabuti.

Napangiti naman ako dahil sa pag-iisip na pinapahalagahan niya ang gamit ko. He took care of everything while I'm gone. Parang hindi ako umalis for five years dahil sa ayos ng mga iyon.

Nagmadali akong pumunta sa banyo upang maligo nang mapatingin ako sa wall clock na nasa loob ng walk-in closet. Binilisan ko ang aking pagligo at agad na nag-ayos. After I felt satisfied with how I look, bumalik na ako sa kwarto ni Lyrae.

She's already finished. She's wearing a white skater skirt and a pink pullover. Instead of wearing a canvas shoes, she wore a white sandals that made her look a yong lady.

"Wow! You look like a Barbie," puri ko.

Lyrae giggled and continued combing her hair.

"Mommy, what's the name of dad's company?" she suddenly asked.

"Sarto." I simply answered.

I explained to Lyrae everything about Sarto.

"Doon po kayo nagkakilala ni Ninang Nikki, 'di ba po?
