It has been a week since we last saw each other. Maybe busy siya sa work niya or something. And I don't usually stay in Ian's office anymore because I think I'll just be a distraction. One time kasi Ian left all his paperworks para samahan lang ako maglunch. Not that I needed a companion. So, ayun. Hindi siya makapagconcentrate sa trabaho niya.
From: Ian Devis
You sure you're not coming?
To: Ian Devis
Yes, I'm sure. Go do your works now and stop texting me.
I put my phone down as soon as I pressed send. This week was boring. There wasn't any work for me to do sa shop. All the branches were doing fine so I decided to just stay here at the house. It was boring because the kids were at school. I had the same routine. Wake up, prepare breakfast, prepare their school things, drop them off at school and go back here and find something to do.
Feeling ko nga ang taba taba ko na eh kasi I just eat and eat then sleep afterwards. I feel pregnant all over again. I put the last action figure in the shelf. I was in Axel and Zeke's roomㅡcleaning. I was doing something productive and hey, cleaning isn't that bad. It's tiring but it also has benefits for you and other people.
"Ma'am, may naghahanap po sa inyo na Rain Santos sa labas." sabi ni Manang.
Kumunot ang noo ko. Rain? What was she doing here and how did she know my address? I fixed everything up and faced Manang.
"Sige po, Manang. Pakisabi na bababa na po ako." I told her and she quickly nodded before turning her back on me.
Okay, now what was she doing here? Rain was acting weird the last time I saw her and she said weird stuff. Anong nakain nito at naisipang pumunta sa bahay ko? Is she planning to murder me in my own house and bury me in my backyard. I gasped. Oh god. No. Ayoko pa iwanan ang mga bata. They're too young! Wait, what am I thinking? Maybe she wants to talk. Yeah.
I shook my thoughts away and went out of their room, closing the door behind me in the process. I went down and saw Rain sitting all lady like in the sofa. She was cluthching her bag and drinking orange juice which was served by Manang.
"Rain," I called her attention. She looked up at me and she smiled. She even stood up and hugged me when I got close to the salas.
"Uhm, anong kailangan mo?" I asked as we both sat down.
"Nothing. Just wanted to visit you." she said with a shrug. Okay?
Tumaas ang kilay ko. "What are you planning? Balak mo bang patayin ako o buhusan ako ng asido?" I asked with my chin up.
She laughed at my accusation. "No, silly. I really just wanted to visit you, Sunny. Ang tagal mo kasing nawala. Buti naman at bumalik ka." she said.
Kumunot lalo ang noo ko. "I don't get you. I think you're supposed to say 'Bakit ka pa bumalik? Kung kailan masaya na kami ni Storm saka ka babalik.' And you'll follow it with a curse because I know you don't like me."
She laughed again. I'm starting to get pissed. "That was me before. Guess I've moved o already." she said with a smile.
A noise came from her bag and she fished for it. She got out her phone and pressed something. "Yes,hello?....Oh. okay. I'll be right there." she said then she removed her phone which was beside her ear a while ago.
"I have to go, Sunny. It was nice talking to you." she said and stood up. I stood up to and walked her to the door. When we got there, she was smiling like she knows something that I don't know but in a good way.
"Bye." she waved.
"Yeah, bye?" I said. She turned her back at me and left the house. She rode her car and she drove off.
Okay. That was weird. What is with her. Nakatakas siguro yun sa mental hospital.
"Ma'am! Ma'am!"
"Yes, manang?" I asked. She was catching her breath and she was holding a phone. "What is it?"
"Si Zeke daw po nahimatay sa klase." she said. Nanlaki ang mata ko at agad akong lumabas ng bahay. Binuksan ko ang pintuan ng sasakyan ko at pinaandar na ang kotse.

"Siguro dahil po sa sobrang init tapos hind pa po kumain ng maayos kanina kaya po nahimatay." sabi nung nurse sakin.
"Ahh. Ganun ba? Sige. Pwede ko na ba siya makita?" I asked. Tumango naman ang school nurse at iginaya ako papasok ng isang kwarto. There I saw Axel sitting on tue sofa and Zeke was sitting down on the bed.
"Zeke,Axel." I said. Lumapit ako kay Zeke para yakapin siya. He hugged me back too. Bumitaw ako sa yakap at si Axel naman ang niyakap ko.
"Hindi ka daw kumain ng maayos kanina." sabi ko sa kanya.
Zeke nodded. "I'm sorry, Mommy. Nagplay po kasi kami nila Jonathan kanina kaya hindi po ako nakakain." he confessed then I sighed.
"Baby naman. You should eat first before playing ha? Para strong ka like Kuya Axel." sabi ko.
Axel nodded then sumampa siya sa kama. "Yep. Like me."
"Okay po. I'm sorry." he said the he pouted. I smiled then I hugged both of them.

I waited for their school to finish after the clinic scene. I made Zeke eat first. Baka kasi kung mapano na yun.
We drove home after. As the two of them got down of the car, I pulled the key out of the car and opened the door. May dumaan na black na sasakyan at nagpark sa unahan ng sasakyan ko. I didn't know the model because I was not a fan of cars.
Bumaba mula sa sasakyan si Storm. Humarap ako sa mga anak ko na may pinaguusapan. "Anak, pasok muna kayo." I told them. They both nodded at tumakbo sila papunta sa loob ng bahay.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him ng makalapit siya sa tayo ko.
"For the twins." He raised four paper bags and handed it to me. Kung hindi niya lang siguro iniangat ang kamay niya na may hawak na paper bag ay hindi ko mapapansin na may dala pala siya.
"Damit yan and toys from Mommy. Galing kasi siya sa Germany." he said. I looked at him. Nakaangat pa ang kamay niya.
"You told your Mom?" I asked him.
"Yeah. May problema ba dun?" He asked me with a confused expression. Binaba na niya ang kamay niya na dala dala ang paperbag. "Just accept these. It's for the twins." sabi nito at kinuha ang kamay ko at nilahgay dun ang paper bag.
I scoffed. "Bakit mo sinabi sa Mommy mo?" I asked him. He was about to answer when I spoke. "You know what? Don't answer that. Tell Tita I said thank you." sabi ko at mabilis na tumalikod.
Mabilis akong pumasok sa bahay at iniwan siya dun. I didn't want to talk to him muna. It just makes me feel all queasy and nervous. Seeing his face makes my heart beat eratically and I didn't want my heart to beat like that. It just proves that I still have feelings for him.
I sighed and locked the door. I looked at the paper bags and pinatong ko ito sa sofa.
