"New place?" Leonel asked.
"Yes baby, we'll only stay for a while"
"Are we going back to Iceland after that wedding?"
I bit my lower lip.
"If you want to, then we will, if you don't like it here, then we'll go back"
He slowly nodded.
"We have to visit your great grandma, too, in the province"
"Province?"
"Its a place not in this city, baby"
He nodded.
We entered my unit, Kuya Bene had my condo renovated, nagdagdag ng dalawang kwarto, Leonel wanted to have his own room, sinasanay ko rin siya sa ibang kwarto kaya pumayag na rin ako.
"This is your room, baby"
Leonel's eyes lingered on the room before smiling, his room was in a livid color, or bluish gray, with whites, he liked simple color palettes, not too bright, not too dark, and then his eyes were glued on the drawing table.
May mga papel roon na binili ni Kuya particularly for drawing, there were sorts of pencils and colored, too.
His bed could fit the two of us.
"Where's your room, Mama? And Lola?"
Tinuro ko sa kanya iyon, wala namang nagbago sa kwarto ko, Mama's room was almost the same as mine except the color of the interior.
"Mama"
May pag-iingat sa tono niya.
"What is it, baby?"
"Does... Papa... live here?"
It made me stopped for a while, kahit si Mama ay natigilan sa pagbubukas ng mga kurtina.
"W-Why did you asked, baby?"
"Nothing" he looked away.
Lumuhod ako sa harap niya.
"Yes baby, your Papa lives here, d-do you want to m-meet him?"
He looked hesitant.
"If you're uncomfortable, its okay if I don't"
My heart hurt at his words.
"Mama will try to talk to him, I'll try to... be in contact with him, okay?"
He nodded, the hope in his eyes hurt me, he hugged me tight.
"Don't try too hard, Mama, its okay if I don't, I can wait more"
My heart only tightened, my baby longed for his father so much, I kissed the side of his head and carried him.
"I love you, Mama" he whispered.
"I love you, too, baby"
I told him why we weren't with his Papa, but I selected a few things to not include.
Naghanap ako ng dress para sa kasal ni Margaux, she didn't even tell me I was the maid of honor!
Leonel eyed at my dress, he shook his head.
"You look tan in it, Mama"
Napanguso ako, but then I did notice that, hindi bagay sa kutis ko ang kulay ng damit.
I was able to get a simple lace long dress, with a sweetheart neckline, lace strapped rin and it is acquianted with the theme of the wedding, a dreamy lilac color.
We shopped for food and his things after.
"Tita?"
I saw Isabela, she looked different, though.
