DEALING DIAMOND (Mafia Series 5) (Completed✓)

SPECIAL CHAPTER

DIAMOND'S POINT OF VIEW:

“Lover, can you please hand me that?” -Glenn immediately gave me the magazine. “Oh.” -I stopped for a moment. “He's back.”

“Yeah, he's finally back.”

Umupo sya sa couch katabi ko at mabilis akong inakbayan. Pareho naman kaming napatingin sa litrato ni Kairo na ngayon ay nasa front page. We're glad na bumalik sya. Gosh, marami kasing nangyari this past five years na hindi namin inaasahan.

Nagkandeleche-leche pa yong organization nung may nangyari kay Kairo. Ayoko ng balikan, nakakasakit kasi sa dibdib, for sure naman siguro okay na sya. My husband and the rest of his friends was so worried about him, but now, knowing na he's okay, alam kong masaya na sila.

Limang taon na rin ang lumipas ng magpakasal kami ni Glenn, tinotoo niya talaga yong sinabi niyang papakasalan ako after he proposed, yon nga lang, sa hospital nangyari ang pagpapakasal kasi hindi pa ako pweding e-discharge. Hindi gaano ka bongga pero masasabi kong one of the best memories na hindi ko makakalimutan.

Two months after that, pinakasalan niya ulit ako. It was the most unforgettable moment, I swear, it was the most talked of the town as well. Wala kahit anong media ang pinapasok kasi gusto namin kami-kami lang, yong tipong friends at families lang yong makakadalo. I must say that wedding was well prepared, it was so expensive and elegant. On that day when I finally wore my gown, I felt like a living princess. My hair looked beautiful, and even my nails and face were perfect. Kahit may umbok na yong tiyan ko that time feeling ko ako pa rin yong pinaka-angat. Bakit ba? Eh sa gusto kong purihin sarili ko.

Daddy Gab and I, are now okay. Actually, close pa kami sa close. Mas mukha pa kaming mag-ama tignan keysa kay Glenn. He really loves calling me and his grandchild para bumisita sa house nila. Humingi sya sa'kin nang sorry before the wedding. Of course, I forgive him. Tao din naman si Dad, he will make mistakes, and I know he already learned from it. Nobody's perfect anyway, as long as he knows na mali sya and that he knows how to say sorry, there's always a room for forgiveness.

“Oh my gosh! Daddy! I think I break my leg!”

Nataranta kaming dalawa ni Glenn ng marinig ang sigaw ni Zelaira sa taas. Dali-dali naman kaming umakyat at pumasok sa room niya. “Princess, are you okay?!” -panicking, his father asked her. “Which leg? Left? Right?”

Naningkit ang mga mata ko nang makita ang marami niyang toys na nagkalat sa sahig.

“Daddy? Mommy? What are you doing here?”

Napatampal ako sa noo. “You shouted. I thought you—”

“Oh? You thought I really break my leg?” -she chuckled. “Geez, parents. I am playing with my toys. This captain america here is the father, and this one, a princess—” -she twinkled her eyes. “Is me. I was acting, mom. Hindi ko sinasadya na mapalakas voice ko, is it too loud ba?”

“God, princess. I thought there's something bad happened to you.”

Kinarga sya nang daddy niya at inilabas sa kwarto. Inosente namang tumingin sa kanya ang four year old naming unica ija. “Bad happened? What naman po?”

“Never mind,” -Glenn kissed her lips. “Do you want to eat something? An ice cream, perhaps?”

“What about Mom? What if she get mad?”

My husband intertwined our fingers together. “I'm sure your Mommy won't mind. Right, Love?” -he winked at me. “Ice cream twice a week, remember?”

I sighed. “Okay fine.”

Napapikit ako nang pinugpog nila akong dalawa ng halik. May pa-cheer pa silang nalalaman tapos pa talon-talon. These two, they really know how to tame me. Si Glenn saka yong anak namin yong tipong hindi mo maipaghihiwalay. Kung close ako kay Daddy Gab, si Zelaira naman mas close sa Daddy niya. Daddy's girl ika nga.
