Trapped In His Melanchony

Prison Thoughts

Morning came, Levi woke up at six to supposedly prepare breakfast for Elvi when he realized Addison is no longer in the bed. Paglabas niya ay dinig na dinig niya ang tunog ng pagkaing ginigisa and it smells so good.

"Too early for you to wake up."

"Then what? Feeding Elvi unhealthy again? A hotdog?" she answered mixing food in the wok.

"I didn't feed him that. He ate cereals. The hotdogs was actually for you...but I am sorry."

Addi was wrong again. For gracious grace! Being mad at him is not a reason for her to judge him. Tssk. Babawi na lang talaga siya ngayon.

"Ako na magluluto ng agahan. You don't have to wake up early anymore so that you can rest more."

"Then I'll bath Elvi instead."

"Levi. Please. Don't push too hard. Kaya nagkakaganyan si Elvi dahil inii-spoil mo siya. Here, drink your coffee." he smiled in silence. Since he's fully awake now, binuklat na lang niya ang laptop at nagtrabaho ng kaunti.

When Addi watched him seriously working, naisip niyang baka mas naging heavy ang workload nito ngayong wala na siya bilang sekretarya. Hindi naman siya pusong bato para di maawa dito.

"Papa!" at nauna pa ngang tawagin ni Elvi ang papa niya keysa sa kanya. Kakaiba talaga ang batang to. He was like this to Jean too.

"Hi bud. Good morning" Elvi ran to Levi and let the little man sit on his lap. "How's your sleep?" kinarga ito ni Levi at hinarap ang napagandang tanawin sa baba ng gusali. Dahil napakaaga pa ay kitang kita ang fog sa ibang parte ng lugar at hindi pa gaanong busy na highway sa baba.

He doesn't disappoint. Addison cannot tell that he's trying hard anymore. That's him being so natural to Elvi. Even though it's not healthy to a child being locked up in a room, nakikita niyang mas masaya si Elvi na kasama si Levi. Warren is also like this to him yet since he's a very busy man, nagkakaoras lang sila kapag umuuwi ito sa bahay. That's why Elvi spent more time with Paula, Wyn, Walm and Warren's dad. Sa laki ba naman ng garden ng mga Brahm, doon talaga nagkaroon ng napakaraming experience si Elvi sa paglalaro na minsay nadidisgrasya pa ang anak niya.

"Breakfast is ready."

Then they share breakfast. Her, Elvi and Levi in the dining area. Like a deja vu, naalala niya dati kung paano niya lageng pinapangarap na mangyari ito. Most of all, Elvi is happy. Elvi loves here and he enjoys here.

It's time for Levi to leave. Even her, she can sense his body language disagreeing to leave them. Or let's say, Leave Elvi. Yun naman dapat, si Elvi na lang isipin nito at hindi na siya isali. They are just co-parenting here tho. No malice.

"He can't bring Kalani back in Switzerland. Their dad was the one who hired someone to kill Kalani and send his dead body off somewhere. That's why as of now, nasa Pilipinas pa rin sila" Deon said.

"What's the point of taking Kalani away from that junk? Zace's dead anyway." Jeremiah asked.

Levi scoffed and drew seriousness in his face. Sa tuwing naririnig niya ang pangalang Evoree Beaumont, talagang kumukulo ang dugo niya.

"You just let that cum win? Living his best life? Me? I won't allow that. I will cut him into piece and let him bathe with his own blood."

"So what's the plan?"

"I know that shit is into something. C'mon. Let's head there."

In a hotel where they will be meeting some clients, Levi has other reason to be there. Is to stalk Beaumont himself.
