Arrange Marriage [Ongoing]

Chapter 56

Mikhael's POV

Tomorrow is Christmas, I'm in my condo right now, packing my things. I already talked to Dad that I'll be living with my daughter and son in Ayara's house, in their house. I decided to surprise them since alam ko na they'll be happy to see me, to see their dada. I also wanna celebrate christmas with them.

I haven't seen them in a while since I was busy at work, I was very bored so I decided to have a job since wala akong ginagawa, kung saan-saan lang din naman ako nagpupupunta. My job is a barista in a cafe, it's just a temporary job, I can quit whenever I want.

I'm driving to the nearest mall to buy Christmas gifts for Kian, Avy and Ayara. I bought stuff toys and clothes for them and for Ayara, I bought her a necklace–I hope magustuhan niya.

After that, nag maneho na ako papunta sakanila. I can't express what I'm feeling right now, it was a mixed emotion. May halong saya, kaba at excitement.

40 minutes when I arrived at the house. I rang the doorbell and waited for someone to answer it for a few minutes but no one answered. I tried to open the door but it was locked.

"Excuse me, I'm their neighbor, wala pong tao diyan umalis po" the teen said.

"Oh, is that so? Thank you" I said and walked towards my car.

Where are they?

I went inside of my car and took my phone, nagdadalawang isip ako kung ic-contact ko si Ayara since I got her number from kuya.

Napagdesisyunan ko na intayin na lamang sila.

Nagising ako nang masinagan ko na may kotseng nakaharap sa akin at nakabukas ang ilaw.

Nakatulog ako.

I checked the time and it was already 7 pm. As far as I know, nakarating ako dito around 3 pm. I waited for them habang nakatulog sa kotse.

I stared at them as Ayara held their hand habang papasok sa loob ng bahay. I didn't waste a chance at pinuntahan sila, together with my gifts for them.

Nakita agad ako ni Avy kaya tumakbo ito sa akin. Nakita ko pang nabigla si Ayara sa pagtakbo ni Avy.

"Papamama!" Avy shouted, I carefully placed the gift on the floor and carried Avy.

"Dada!" Sunod na sigaw ni Kian and ran towards me.

I am carrying both of them now habang naka-rest ang mga ulo nila sa balikat ko.

I saw Ayara na niliitan ako ng mata. She approached me and took what I was holding and opened the house door.

Dinala ko sila Avy and Kian sa sofa and sat down.

"Kian, Avy, wash your hands na we're going to eat" Ayara said as Kian and Avy walk towards her. Nagpunta sila sa Kusina, may hidden stairs doon sa ilalim ng lababo para patungan nila Avy and Kian if mag w-wash sila ng hands.

After that, umupo na si Avy at Kian nang tahimik, waiting for their mama.

Habang nasa dining sila Kian at Avy ay nilapitan ko si Ayara while she was preparing their food.

"Hey" I said at lumapit sa likuran niya.

Hindi siya sumagot kaya kinalabit ko siya nang paulit-ulit. Humarap siya sa akin na galit ang expression but it was replaced with a shock expression nang mapansin niya na sobrang lapit namin sa isa't-isa.

Ang liit niya sa'kin.

"W-what do you want?" Ayara asked with a mad tone at tinulak ako palayo nang mahina.
