"umagang umaga naman kel, ano bang problema?" tannie answered the phone call, its 5am in the morning and mabuti nalang at gising na siya.
"you have to tell me, ng masalba kita. nag aalala na rin ako sayo" tannie added, it seems like, kel doesn't want to tell tannie the problem.
"calm down hon, maybe kel's having a hard time telling you" sabi naman ng asawa niyang doctor. tannie finally calmed down and kel ended the call.
"hm? what did he tell you?" sunny asked, "she ended the call, i really feel that there's something wrong" sagot ni tannie sa kaniya.
sunny comforted tannie with opened arms, planted light kisses in her wife's forehead and caressed tannie's hair.
"everything will be alright, call me if something really happens ha?" sunny said, tannie nodded. sobrang daming assurance lang ni sunny na she'd be there whenever tannie needs her.
tannie proceed to do her morning routine while sunny checked the kids, its their last day before the holidays.
"mom, are you okay?" svea asked her mother, "i-im okay, dont stay away from your bodyguards today, listen to them and after school, make sure na magpahatid kayo agad sa bahay, okay?" tannie said.
this gave svea a little fear, this happens rarely. dahil sa mga high profile cases na hawak ni tannie, kaya mahigpit ang security sa family nila, sunny made sure that her family is safe and sound everyday.
"I'll make sure my sisters will be okay too ma, dont worry." svea assured her mother, tannie kisses her daughter sa cheeks before continuing making breakfast for the kids. after that, she packed their lunches for school since they dont trust the school's cafeteria anymore.
hindi naman masyadong bothered si tannie sa call ni kel, she's used to it. imagine being an attorney, there are things that are too much to process, but with sunny by her side, she's not scared of anything.
"let's eat na" sabi ni sunny sa kaniya, umupo na silang lahat sa dining table saka kumain ng almusal, as usual. normal breakfast for all of them. sunny held tannie's hand and gave her an assurance look.
T
sunny would always give me the coziest hugs ever, she knows how to comfort me. hindi ako komportable mag mula kaninang umaga, pero sanay na ako sa ganito. every year, i would always get a call from kel like that, and that means something or someone is in danger.
ever since i became an attorney, my life was always in danger, sabi nga nila, kapag naging abodago ka, nasa bingit ka na ng kamatayan. hindi mo alam kung ano mangyayari sa buhay mo kada kaso na hawak mo, at totoo yun.
but then again, hindi ako masyadong nag aalala sa kalagayan ko, kahit noon pa. simula noon, ang kalagayan ni sunny ang iniisip ko dahil ayaw ko siya madamay sa mga bagay na pinagdadaanan ko.
pero parehas kaming naging sandalan ng isa't isa, kaya hindi ako takot sa kahit na ano, basta kasama ko siya, basta alam kong nandyan siya para sakin, para sa mga bata.
we have kids now, we have five kids, and they're all important to me, to us. importante sakin ang pamilya ko kaya hindi ko hahayaan na may mangyari sa kanila, as a mother, i will do anything for them. anything.
"you sure you dont want me to come with you?" sunny asked, paalis na kasi kami papasok ng trabaho. nauna lang ang mga bata umalis dahil may mga klase sila. sinabihan ko naman ang body guard nila na umuwi sila sa bahay agad at wag nila iiwan ang mga bata.
sunny also talked to them but hindi ko na narinig since pumasok ako sa kusina para mag hugas na ng pinagkainan namin lahat, pagkaalais ng mga bata, pumasok agad si sunny to help me clean the kitchen.
