My Bad Boy : Montesalve brothers 1

Eighteen: Summer

Yvonne's POV

3 years...

"No, please send me a letter about the proposal of Mr. Ching and Mr. Brandenava. I can't bear to lose such great dealers." I said while making a bottle of milk for my baby.

"Ok. Hoy babaita! Kailan mo ba balak umuwi dito? Aba aba aba! Gusto na kitang ipakilala sa bag-"

"Sus, pang ilan mo na yan? Sawang sawa na akong makilala ang mga lalaki mo."

"Ang sama mo!"

"I know right! Sige na at ngumangawa na ang baby ko."

"Omg, namiss ko siya. Uuwi nalang ako jan this summer. Omg summer, hihihi!" Hagikhik niya at napatawa nalang ako ng mahina. Loka loka talaga.

"Okay! Bye, ingat jan! Labya!" Sabi ko at binaba na ang phone. Agad akong tumakbo sa kwarto niya at ibinigay sakaniya ang gatas.

In the age of three, she can crawl. Yes, babae nga ang anak ko. And she grew up very pretty. Kaso mukhang nakuha niya ang mata niya sa tatay niya, pati ang kulay ng buhok. Her father's hair has a shade of brown, hindi gaya ko na black.

"Baby, you should drink the milk, not throw it. Bad ang naghahagis ng food nak." Pangaral ko dito na para bang naiintindihan niya ako. At ang bata, tinawanan lang ako? Heto naman, wala akong ibang magawa kundi matawa nalang.

I carried her and went to the living room and laid at the sofa at inihiga ko siya sa ibabaw ko tsaka ko ibinigay ang gatas niya. She peacefully laid on me while drinking her milk. I opened the TV and watched my favorite show. Maya maya lang ay namalayan ko nalang na napapapikit na ako.

I woke up while hearing a chuckle of a child.

"Dada.... dadadadada."

Agad akong napabangon ng marinig iyon. Omygoodness! Did she just talk, didn't she? I looked at her who's messing my long curly hair. "What baby? Tell me? What did you say?" I aksed and she just laughed.

Agad kong kinuha ang phone ko at pinindot ang record ng video. I captured her while chuckling. "Say it again baby. Say what you just said. Please baby." I keep on asking at natawa lang siya. Ugh.

I sat up and placed her at my legs and she keep on playing with my hair. "Dadadada. Dada!" She said and I smiled. Inilapag ko ang phone ko matapos ko itong ma-video-han at inikot ikot siya. "Oh my goodness baby! You talked! Oh my God!" I shouted. Parehas kaming natawa at iniwagayway pa niya ang kamay niya sa ere.

Inilapag ko siya sa sofa at lumuhod sa harap niya para makapantay ko siya. "Come on baby, say mama. Ma-ma." I tried to teach her pero ang tanging sinasabi niya lang ay "Dadadada..."

Napaupo ako sa sahig. "Baby, ako ang nandito oh. Ako ang nag-aalaga sayo. How could you say 'dada' first when you have your mom with you? Nakakatampo!" Sabi ko at tumalikod muna sakaniya. Bigla kong naramdaman ang maliliit niyang kamay na naglalaro nanaman sa buhok ko.

She keep on laughing which is a bit odd. Ewan, madalas siyang tumawa pero hindi ganito kadalas. Pero ano naman? Hayaan mo nalang Yvonne. This is better.

Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko at huminga nga malalim. She's on the other side at ayaw niya talagang magpahuli sa akin.

"Hey, baby come here!"

"No!"

"Baby please, listen to me."

"No! I won't! Lalalalal!" Tanging sabi niya at tinakpan ang tenga niya. Oh my goodness.

"Baby..."

"No mom!"

"Please?" I plead and she looked at me and ran towards me.

"Fine. Pero gagamit tayo ng bath tub mommy. I want to use bath tub!" She said at tumango naman ako. "Okay baby. Pero promise mommy na you'll behave to school later?" I asked and she pinky promised me.

Pagkatapos niyang maligo ay agad siyang umupo sa dining area habang ako ay busy sa pagp-prepare ng gamit niya. "Mommy mommy mommy! You promised me na sabay tayo magb-breakfast! Gutom na ako mommy." She shouted at mabilis naman akong pumunta sa dining area at umupo sa tabi niya.

Biglang nag-ring ang phone ko at sasagutin ko na sana iyon ng kunin niya sa akin ang phone ko at in-end ang tawag. "Mommy! You told me, no calls at the dining table. Bad ka." Sabi niya at natawa naman ako at tumango sakaniya.

"Okay fine. Pero dahil Wednesday ngayon, ikaw ang magl-lead ng prayer." Sabi ko at tumango naman siya tsaka ngumiti. PInagsalikop niya ang kaniyang mga palad at pumikit.

"In the name of the father, and the son, and the holy spirit, amen. Papa God, Thank you po sa food, and sana po next meal, kasama na namin ang daddy. Amen!"

"Miss, I'm so sorry for what my daughter did. Maybe something or someone provoked her to do such thing but I know that from the bottom of her heart, she is sorry. Come on baby, say sorry." I said and she looked away. Napahinga naman ako ng malalim sa inasal niya.

"See! She's so mean! She even told me that she will cut my pretty hair!" Sabi ng babaeng ka-edad lang niya, which is her classmate, at napalingon naman ako sa anak ko na inirapan pa ang babae. Oh my goodness.

"If you can't control your child then maybe you can just hire a private tutor for her! I don't want my child to be hurt because of her!" The parent of the child said and I held my child's hand.

"I know that my child has done something wrong but did you ask yours if she did something that provoked my child? Don't put all the blame to my child as if yours is innocent!" Sabi ko at tumingin sa principal nila.

"I can't take this anymore! Why is my child only the one who's saying sorry here? Both of them did something wrong and no one's asking about my child's opinion? Why are you so biased Miss Frankie? If you're going to continue like this then maybe I should just transfer my daughter or-" Hindi pa ako tapos ng magsalita ang principal nila. Hah!

"N-no, uhm. Please, let's solve this problem peacefully and calmly. To be fair, I'll just let the two have punishments. I'll tell their teacher to deduct points to their grades." The principal said.

"But this is not fair!" Her parents said at napa-irap na din ako. Aba, ako pa ang lolokohin niya?

"No! This way, it's fair! And don't start a fight with me Miss because you don't know what I'll do and what I'm capable of doing." I finished and walked out of the principal's room with my child.

Tumigil kami sa may corridor nila at lumuhod ako para makapantay ko siya. Huminga ako ng malalim at hinawakan ang makabilang balikat niya.

"What is it this time baby? Bakit mo nagawa yun? You even cursed her earlier. I told you that I'll deduct your allowance if you do rude things right? Why? Anong ginawa niya?" I asked calmly pero imbis na sagutin ako ay iniwasan niya ang titig ko.

"Baby, please tell me. What is it?" I asked once again and this time, she looked at me pero nagulat ako ng may tumulong luha sa mga mata niya.

"Why? Kapag ba sinabi ko sayo, may magbabago?" She asked me.

"Baby..."

"No! I just want a father! Give me a dad mommy! I want a daddy! They are always asking me about my dad and I have nothing to say about him!" She shouted and I closed my eyes due to frustration. I tried to hold her hand but she keeps on letting go.

"I'll wait for you at the apartment mommy. And sana pag-uwi mo, kasama mo na si daddy." She said and ran away from me. Napahawak ako sa ulo ko at tinawag ang pangalan niya.

"Summer Keanna Montesalve!"
