Those Eyes

Chapter Twenty

ELLA

"ells, may nakuha ka nang bagong project?" Alyssa asked

Tumango naman ako

I checked all of the emails and nag reply isa isa

I have a lot of clients

And they want to have a project with me

Minsan, dinindecline ko yung offer nila dahil sa pagkarami kong clients

I've kept myself busy for the past 4 years

It's been 4 years since we ended up

4 years of longing

I missed her so much

When can I see her again?

I heaved a sigh and shrugged it off

I checked the time and alas singko na

I smiled and packed up my things

I'll buy some jollimeal for jeyjey and fruits din para kay Mama

Mama's terminally ill

Si ate Joyce naman, nag abroad para ma sustentuhan sina mama at Jeydon

Sinabihan ko naman siya na kaya ko eh

Pero nagpupumilit siya

Alam na din nila mama yung tungkol samin

She felt sorry kasi naghiwalay kami dati

I told her it's not her fault, wala siyang kasalanan sa kung ano mang nangyari samin

I can't even mention her name anymore

I don't know why, but I feel like everytime na iniisip ko siya or binabanggit ang pangalan niya

Mas lalo ko siyang namimiss

"Jeyjey, tita Pots is home" Sambit ko

"Tita!" My 6 year old nephew exclaimed

Sinalubong niya naman ako ng yakap

"Where's your lola, jeyjey?"I asked habang inilapag ang dala ko sa lamesa

"She's upstairs po tita pots" sagot niya

Tumango naman ako at tsaka nag handa ng pagkain

Inilgay ko yung pagkain ni Mama sa tray

"Jey, Stay here ha? papa kainin ko lang si Lola mo okay? behave ka Jeydon" sambit ko

tumango naman siya

I messed up with his hair bago kinuha ang tray

After feeding mama, bumaba na ako

" Dun ka na sa kwarto mo jey, sleep ka na" sambit ko

"I don't want to sleep yet, tata" sagot ni Jey

I smiled and tinabihan siya sa sofa

"Let's call mommy?" I said

His face shined and nodded while smiling

We called ate Joyce, she answered the call and smiled when she saw his son

After that call, pina akyat ko na siya sa kwarto niya para matulog

Morning came and maaga akong nagising

Bumaba ako sa kusina para pag lutuan sina mama at Jeyjey

"Good morning tata!" Jey greeted

I smiled and carried him

Pina upo ko naman siya sa upuan

"I'll cook breakfast, you wait for tata okay? and behave" Sambit ko
Tumango naman siya

Kinuha ko ang phone ko at tsaka I let him watch youtube while waiting

"Hahatid ko lang to kay lola ha? Wait lang bb" I said and kinuha ang tray

Hinatid ko naman yung tray at tsaka pina kain muna si Mama

After that, si Jeydon naman ang pina kain ko

"All good na baby?" I asked

Tumango naman siya

Since day off ko today, I'll have a lot of time for them

"Let's go outside sa park later baby? sama natin si lola mo ha" sabi ko kay Jeydon

"Yehey! Park!" He exclaimed kaya napa ngiti ako

JEMA

"Manang luisa, pwede pong paki prepare ng milk bottles ni Eli?" sambit ko

Tumango naman si Manang Luisa

"Mommy!" My 3 year old said

I smiled and kinuha siya sa crib

"Are you hungry baby?" I asked

Tumango naman siya

My Elijah Miguel G. De Guzman

Our 3 year old boy

A lot of things had happened since he came

Ako na yung bagong CEO ng company ni dad

And Si JV, siya na din yung magiging CEO ng company ng dad niya

Nakipag collab ako along with their company

"Good morning bub" JV said and kissed my cheeks

"Daddy!" Elijah said

"Good morning baby" JV smiled

I felt Jv's hands on my waist

"Good morning my beautiful girlfriend" He whispered

I chuckled

"Good morning bub! How's your sleep?" I asked

"All good, Thanks for cooking breakfast bub" he kissed my cheeks kaya napa ngiti ako

After cooking, Inilapag ko na sa lamesa ang mga pagkain

Dali daling kumain si JV

"Bub dahan dahan lang" I chuckled

"Sorry, bub. I'm in a hurry kasi, May investors kasi sa office and dad needs me" Sagot niya

Tumango naman ako

"Daddy, food" elijah said

"wait lang anak" Jv replied and gave him his food

JV gave him Mini mushroom omelettes

"What will you say to daddy, anak?" Sambit ko

"Tenkyu daddy" he smiled

Napa ngiti naman si JV

"You're welcome baby. I should get going na, bub, baby" He kissed Eli's forehead before he gave a peck on my lips

"Goodluck, bub!" I smiled

He waved goodbye bago tuluyang umalis

"mommy no more na mommy" elijah said

Pansin kong naubos na niya yung pagkain niya

After that, pinaligo ko muna si Elijah

"Mommy, play mommy please" Elijah said

"Hay nako Elijah Miguel"Napa iling nalang ako at tumawa

Bakit ba siya ang kamukha mo, Elijah

Bakit hindi ako?

or kahit si JV?
