"Going home?" Tanong ng hinayups na gwapo at may abs at may v line na bumababa sa hagdan habang nagsusuot ng tshirt.
"Y-yeah." Sagot ko. Tae! Bakit ako nabubulol?!
"I could drive you." He said.
"No need. Just rest. You need that." Sabi ko.
"How can I rest if I'm not sure that you're safe?" Tanong niya.
"I'll text you the minute I step inside my home okay?" Tanong ko.
"Mmkay. See you tomorrow pretty." He said as he kissed me in the cheeks. Damn!
"Y-yeah. See you." Sagot ko.
Agad akong nagtatakbo palabas. My goodness! I just can't stay beside him! I'll die. Mamamatay ako sa kilig!

"I'm home." Sabi ko at agad kong narinig ang tinig na gustong gusto kong marinig.
"Mommy!" Sigaw niya at lumapit saakin para yakapin ako.
"Did you miss me?" Tanong ko.
"Yes! Where's daddy?" Tanong niya kaagad.
"Well, your daddy is tired and he said he wants to rest so you're not gonna meet him today." Bumalatay ang lungkot sa mukha niya.
"B-but!" Protesta niya.
"No buts baby." Sabi ko.
Napansin kong nalungkot nanaman ang mukha ng anak ko. Oh. God knows how much I hate seeing him like this.
"How about this baby, on the day of your birthday which is on Monday already, I'm gonna ask your daddy to come so you can meet him. Sounds' good?" Tanong ko. Agad namang sumilay ang ngiti sa napakagwapong mukha ng aking anak. Indeed. He's the smaller version of his dad.
"Do you promise mom?" Sigurista.
"Yes sir! I promise!" Sabi ko. Lumapit siya lalo saakin at inakap.
"Mom?" Tawag niya sakin.
"Yes baby?" Tanong ko.
"Can you cook Carbonara for me?" Tanong niya na tinanguan ko nalang.
