"Mahal, tignan mo si baby Aleistine, kaya na nyang maglakad!"
Isang nakakabingi ngunit nakakatuwang balita ang nagpatigil sa pagtulong ni Aleina sa kusina sa kanilang kasambahay. Dali-dali syang tumakbo,
"Oh my! Mahal, alalayan mo! Baka mapaupo bigla yan!" habang papalapit sya.
Nginitian lang sya ng asawa at pinagpatuloy lang nilang pinanood ang kanilang anak hanggang sa napaupo nga ito at nagumpisa ng humikbi kayat lumapit na si Aleina at binuhat ito. Tumabi naman ito sa kanilang ama, tinapik nya ito..
"Sabi sayo, e. Alalayan mo kasi hindi pa nya kaya! Mahal naman, e. Umiiyak tuloy. Tahan na, baby Selena..."
"Mahal, hindi yan matututo kung hindi sya dadaan sa sakit. Walang natuto na hindi dumaan sa iyak, mahal.." he hugged Aleina.
"Mahal naman.. Si Selena na ang pinag-uusapan dito kayat hanggat kaya natin syang turuan ng hindi nasasaktan ay gagawin ko.."
"Even our Aleistine is not an exception to hurtings and learnings, mahal. You see, siguro kahit ang parents nyo ni Ulysses noon ay paniguradong gusto rin kayong matuto ng hindi nasasaktan but only fate had a say on that.. Let her learn and experience hurt, mahal, it would help her be strong and be immune atleast on pain."
She turned her head to glance at her husband.. Kaya mahal na mahal nya ito, e, he just don't things the way they are. She smiled at him and let their daughter tried walking alone.
Sure, may tries until she let herself walk alone. Until she can managed walking alone. Too many process on that but it was all worth it, too many tears and hurt and now it's all worth it.. Because of that process she learned to walk.
"See, mahal? Ang galing na nyang maglakad.." he hugged her from behind as they watched their daughter.
"Ang galing kasi ni daddy magturo.. Hmm,"
"Magaling din si mommy."
They laughed. "Mahal, gusto mo bang pumunta sa office? Just to check our new designs of houses to built?"
"I already went there.. Everything's seems to be fine naman, mahal."
"I already filed my resignation to Le Avenue.."
"I thought you're going back to Hawaii to settle--"
"I don't want you to be tired of thinking, I don't want to leave my family just for that matter,"
"We can go with---"
"Mahal, ayokong ibyahe na natin ni Selena ng ganung kalayo.."
"Ok, I understand.. How about Karylle, mahal?"
He looked away. "I tried calling her to apologize but its always her secretary would pick up calls.."
The truth is, Karylle tried calling him yesterday and it was Aleina whom she talked to..
"Hello." a trembling voice greeted her from the other line.
"What's up, Karylle? Why did you call my husband?" there's no sound of bitterness in her voice but Karylle took that the other way.
"Ooh.. Your husband? You really know how to use money over love wisely, huh?"
Aleina laughed hard. "Oh? Money over love? Yes, I really know how and when to use it, Karylle, but sorry to disappoint you that not even a single peso I used to bribe my husband just to marry me."
"Really? Then why is he still on your side if it wasn't for the money, you btch!"
"Love, my dear. He's hoplessly in love with me as how hopelessly I am in love with him."
"You--"
"Stop right there. Save your dignity and pride while you still can. I know you have a good reputation to care so don't make this conversation destroy you. If you still can't accept that you already lose, I don't care anymore. You can never ruin my family. Find a man who'll love you, 'cause my Jaustin Callum is no longer available and never been available. Before you met him, I already own him. Before he fvcked you, he already made love to me. I'm the only one allowed to own him, only I and my daughter can own him," she can hear Karylle's continuous sigh then she continued.
"Money over love you say? Then why didn't he stayed for you if he loves you? He was just tempted, Karylle, so please stop digging my husband! Let go of my husband because in the first place he's never been yours! What a shame!" then she hung up the call.
"And mahal, she approved my resignation letter. Now, I only have to think of my family and our business. I have so much time to be with you,"
"Thank you, Jaustin. Know that I love you so much.."
She tiptoed and kissed him.
"And I love you more."
