Maaga akong nagising. Or should I say, hindi talaga ako nakatulog.
Pag gising ng mga bata kagabi, kumain lang kami ng dinner kasama si Jona at Joshua at pag tapos at umuwi na kami. Pag uwi namin ng mga bata kagabi, pinainom ko lang si Jack ng gamot at natulog na din sila.
I didn't know what to do the whole night since I couldn't sleep. I kept myself busy by reading proposals from other companies that I have no plan of accepting. That's how bored I was last night.
Pag baba ko, naabutan ko yung dalawa na nanunuod ng cartoons habang kumakain si Zeke ng pancake at si Jack naman ay seryosong nanunuod. Nakasuot pa din sila ng pajama nila.
Napatingin sa gawi ko si Zeke. "Good Morning, mommy" sambit nito kahit punong puno pa ang bibig ng pagkain.
Lumapit ako sakanilang dalawa at hinalikan ang noo nila. "Good Morning babies"
"Good Morning mom" sambit naman ni Jack na lumapit sa akin at pinalupot ang kamay sa leeg ko.
Ni rub ko lang ang likod niya saka siya lumayo at nanuod ulit.
"I'm going to the office to meet an important person. You two behave, okay? I'll come back early"
"Yes, mom. Good luck! If he/she does something, tell kuya and I. We got your back" sambit ni Zeke at nag wipe ng tissue na nakatuck-in sa damit niya.
"Mhm" pag agree naman ni Jack. I smiled mentally at hinalikan sila sa pisngi dalawa.
Tumayo na ako at pumunta sa table kung saan nakalagay ang mga susi. "Love you both!"
"Love you too mommy. See you later" sabay na sambit nila.
"Yes, don't forget to lock the door" nakita ko pang tumayo si Jack pag sarado ko ng pintuan. They really don't have to dahil remote control naman ang gate at I have a controller in my car, in my bag at isa na nasa garage namin, but just in case.
And then I came back to reality. I got inside the car dahil ayaw ko ng abalahin pa yung driver. As long as kaya ko mag drive, ako talaga ang nag d-drive.
Malapit na ako sa company at all I'm feeling right now is being terrified. This is simply nerve wracking and I've never felt this. This is the first time. I feel like I'm over reacting though.
I heaved deep sighs and made my way sa parking lot. When I parked, I gathered all the air I could possibly inhale and exhale. I counted 1 to 10 at nakaabot na ata ako ng 50 pero hindi parin ako kumakalma kaya I composed everything. From my breathing and my physical appearance. I gathered my bag at bumaba na.
May nakasabay pa akong ibang empleyado at mukhang gulat sila dahil maaga ako ngayon. I usually go to the office at 8 or 10, pero ngayon ay alas siyete palang. I was expecting for traffic, but it seems like the universe is in favour dahil walang ka trapik trapik.
My meeting starts at 8:30 sa isa sa mga conference room sa company , sabi ni Jona, kaya gusto ko din ng maaga.
I took the private elevator and took my phone out to text yaya to make Jack drinking his meds at pakainin ang dalawa mamaya. I also looked at the camera that I installed inside the house at nakitang nanunuod pa din ang dalawa. And seeing them made me a little bit calm.
Yes, I have CCTV's implanted around the house to check on my kids' safety if ever na wala ako sa bahay and of course, to keep up with Zeke's lets-bully-yaya-once-in-a-while-edition.
I came back to reality when the elevator opened and was greeted by Clarisse.
"Good Morning ma'am. Your coffee is on the table"
