Trapped In His Melanchony

His Weird Conclusion

Morning came, and he woke up first than her. Matiim niyang iniinapeksyon ang bawat sulok ng maamo nitong mukha na mahimbing na natutulog.

I love you, Levi.

Did she really said it?

"You're a piece of liar, Addison." he will never believe such words, even if it blooms flowers in his spine. "So lie to me, more." he whispered to her. At the very least kind reason of huge happiness, he will still hold unto that.

Alas syete nang gumising na sila't naghanda para sa flight nila mamayang alas onse. There weather forcast for today is fine for him not to expect any delay or flight cancellations. After all, he has many things to do in the office so the plans of spending more time with here might be adjusted sooner for the next false business trip he asked her to lie as an excuse. Babawi na lang siya doon.

They arrived at the airport three hours earlier from their said flight as Levi left her without a notice. Bigla na lang talaga itong nawala na parang bula ni walang ideya si Addi kung nagbanyo ba ito o nagyoyosi ngayon dahil batid niyang napakadali nitong maboryong.

Panay ngiti siyang tinitingnan ang mga pictures ni Elvi na masayang kinakarga ng daddy ni Warren habang nasa pool sila. Napakahilig din ng anak niya sa swimming pools lalong lalo na sa dagat. Kaya inuunti unting turuan ito ng daddy ni Warren upang maagang matutong lumangoy.

Napakaswerte talaga ng anak niya. Punong puno naman siya ng pagmamahal ng lolo niya, but having numerous people that loves him is a previlege. Especially these people are not even blood related to him. His lolo and lola, an aunt, an uncle and a father figure. He has no reason to say he has a bad childhood like her. Like her where she used to be alone.

Paano pa kaya kung mamahalin din ito ni Levi?

"Hey."

Muntik na niyang mabitawan ang hawak na cellphone sa biglang interapsyong ginawa ni Levi sa kanya.

He handed her over a huge paperbag. Hindi ito nakatingin sa kanya at tila nahihiya pa.

"W-what is this?" she asked, confused.

Maypagkabigat ang laman ng paperbag na yun. Ito pala ang rason bakit bigla na lang siyang umalis ng walang pahintulot?

"I hope he likes it."

Her hands suddenly shaking, pinning a gaze to the huge brown paperbag she's holding. Is this, for their son, really?

The moment he calmly sat down next to her, she could no longer hold back her tears and whimper, pressing her lips into thin line. Nagblanko ang reaksyon ni Levi. Ang akala niya ay ngingitian siya nito, pero bakit ito iiyakan ang regalong ibibigay niya para sa anak niya? Didn't she said whatever makes her son happy, she's happy too? Hindi pa nga nito alam ang magiging reaksyon ng bata kung magugustuhan ba nito ang laruan o hindi. He's just, confused.

"What's the matter? Bakit ka umiiyak diyan?" nag-aalala niyang tanong.

She finally had the courage of facing him, tears being wiped as she smiled emotionally to him.

She wanna scream with all the strength from her lungs that it's their son he'll be giving present to but she can't. Hindi niya ito maaaring biglain at baka hindi pa maging kaaya aya ang magiging reaksyon nito. Lalo na at sa ngayon ay inaakala nitong si Warren ang ama ng anak niya. It must be very complicated for him to believe without those absent memories of him.

"Thank you."

He just scoffed, with arms crossing under his chests. "Stop being dramatic over non sense reasons."

They arrived back in the country and parted ways back to each their normal lives. Levi went to sleep as soon as he arrived to his penthouse while Addi was so excited to give Levi's present to his son, Elvi.
