Trapped In His Melanchony

Farewell

Since he promised he will be using the next day as a day-off, Levi indeed made sure he spent every second at its finest and not wasting it.

It was then also that day Warren Brahm made a videocall that supposedly a helpful peek to his lovely wife and dear son in relation of his departure tomorrow, turned into a chaotic turned of event.

"Dada! Dadaaaa!" Elvi reached out to the iPad, crying out loud as if he will be able to touch Warren in flesh from a piece of gadget.

Nasa pader malapit sa kusina lamang si Levi, nakasandal at tinitiis ang malakas na iyak ng anak na sa tansya niya ay halos mag iisang minuto na.

Nasasaktan niya. For Elvi by separating him to the man who became his father figure in his absence, as well for himself watching his son plea as if he wasn't there, his real, father by blood.

"Dadaaa! Dadaaaa"

"Elvi, it's just a videocall. Please calm down"

"Ahhhh! Dadaa! Come! Up! Up!" Elvi continued to whimper, his voiced echoed the whole room. Addi is still blocking him to each the iPad placed in the center table.

"Shhh, Elvi. Oh god, let's end this, Addi. It's not helping him." Warren said with deep concern on the other line. "Elvi stop crying please. I promise to visit you soon, love. Just stop crying, okay? I missed you too"

That broke Levi's heart. He blinked fast to hold the tears starting to form on the side of his eyes. As he fully comprehend, he's jealous. With all the efforts he did, still Elvi loves Warren more than him. Tomorrow, he will leave soon, was he able to fulfill his duty to be a father even the short span of time?

Elvi stopped from making a fuss for awhile, frowned and just sobbed, almost nodding his head synchronized with his endless sobs, shook his head in protest. Does that mean he really want to see this man soon?

"Come dada.....Elvi, sad..." then broke down again, cried and scream grew louder and louder.

Silence reigned them. Levi who was supposedly watching silently, can no longer hold his grip and immediately took Elvi. He swung him, rubbing his hand at his back to calm him down.

Soon enough, Addi noticed the unease and terrible scene.

Hindi na siya nagsalita pa at nilakihan ang mga mata na kaharap si Warren na isa din sa nagulat na nangyari. Warren who seemed understood her gesture, nodded as a response, so Addi hung up the call and closed the laptop.

Dahan dahan siyang tumayo at lumapit sa mag-ama ng mapansin niyang sumisinghot na si Levi at namumula na ang mga mata nito.

Gracious! How did she allowed this to happen?!

"Sorry son, all my fault. I am very sorry" he apoligized to the still sobbing Elvi in his arms. "I love you, okay? Always remember that."

Addison just let out a deep sigh and shrugged in such drrad of concern. Watching them two, she blamed herself guilty for her insensitiveness. Yet, such act Levi did was foreign to her. None of them expected he would do that, as if he became as possessive to his son same to hers. Well, Elvi is his son. His spitting image. It's obviously normal for him to nagged him to anyone cause truly speaking, he loved his son so much.

"Elvi?" Addi pat his head and face him as the little guy laid his head on his broad shoulder. "Have you ever thought how you spent more time with dada than your papa?"

Elvi seemed understood it quickly, tilted his head to sneek a peek at his father's watery face, yet he just smiled in response, assuring him he's fine.

"Papa? Oh! Papa" he enthusiastically called which he suddenly changed mood from frantic to concern. "Cry?"

Levi smiled dryly, still emotional by the state of his son noticed his tears. Such a wholesome toddler he is.
