We're all getting ready for the West Side's world tour
The night before ako nag reready kasi sasaglit ako sa work bukas at titingnan kung mayroon akong maiiwan for a month or so dahil sa world tour
"Mommy, how long are we staying with daddy with for their tour? I'm so excited" ani Zeke habang nakayakap sa unan at nakatingin sa akin
"Depends with you babies. If you want to stay with your daddy then you can" anya ko. Kinuha ko yung damit na tiniklop ni Jack
Tinutulungan ako ni Jack mag tiklop dahil mas mabilis daw "Thank you baby.." tumango lang siya at pinagpatuloy ang pagtitiklop
It's been a week since he asked me about the renewal of marriage... na hindi ko nasagot
That day, I was about to say yes pero nagising daw si Jack at hinahanap kami kaya hindi ko siya nasagot..
And ever since, I've been trying my best to tell him my answer, but he became colder so hindi ko alam kung paano ko siya i a-approach
Alas otso na ng gabi at wala pa din si Elmo kaya tinatapos ko na ang pag iimpake
"Mommy what time will daddy come?"
I looked at Zeke who's now lying sa kama. He's still looking at me. I gave him a smile "I'm not sure babay. Why don't you call him?"
I told him to call Elmo daddy when he's talking to me or when matters are serious dahil ayaw ko naman na mawala ang respeto nila kay Elmo as their father
"Oh yeah. Where is your phone mommy?" I looked to their bedside at nakita ito doon
"There baby" he got it and unlocked it. Their fingerprints are put into my phone anyway dahil ginagamit naman nila ito minsan eh kaya naka activate for them
Kinuha ko ulit ang panibago na tiniklop ni Jack at nilagay ito sa maleta
"Hi daddy!" masiglang sambit nito "Yeah mommy's here... Do you want to talk to her?... Yeah kuya's also here ... I think Nanay Jhing is cooking downstairs... We're just waiting for you... Yeah... Are you coming home soon?..." nakikinig lang ako sa conversation nila
Nakakunot ang noo ni Jack habang nagtitiklop kaya alam kong hindi siya nakikinig dahil masiyadong nakalagay ang attention niya sa ginagawa
"Yes daddy... Okay pare... See you... Love you too pare..." he ended the call and placed the phone on the bedside again
"Mommy, daddy thought it was you who was calling.. He sounded so surprised he answered on the first ring" masiglang sambit ni Zeke at humagikgik
"What did he say baby?" I asked casually
"He said he's on his way mom. That we should wait for him in the dining table so when he comes, we could just eat" tumango ako
"Let's go baby kuya and baby" tumayo na si Zeke from the bed at si Jack naman ay tumayo. Tinabi ko yung mga damit na hindi pa nafofold at pinatay ang ilaw sa kwarto ni Jack dito sa bahay
Zeke latched on to my right arm at si Jack naman ay sa left hand ko. Bumaba kami sak usina at nakita si Nanay Jhing na naghahanda ng pagkain
"Hi Nay!" masiglang sambit ni Zeke
"Oh mga anak, kumain na kayo. Tumawag si Elmo at sinabing paunahin ko na kayo dahil pabalik naman na din siya"
I nodded and gave her a smile. Tiningnan lang ako ni Nanay Jhing at binigyan ng makahulugan na tingin
I placed Zeke and Jack on their spots at nilagyan ng pagkain ang plato nila. I did the same to myself and sat on my chair "Nanay Jhing, ikaw po hindi pa kakain?"
