A night with you

Night 10:

Night 10:

Solaire:

I was really worried, akala ko hindi na ibabalik ni Juami si Onemig sa'kin. Ayoko rin ipaalam kay Juami na anak niya si Onemig dahil baka kunin niya sa'kin yung anak ko and that's the last thing that I want to happen, he's the only memory that he left to me. I always tell my friends and relatives that I have moved on but the truth is I still love Juami and I'm still hurting everytime I see him.

"Mommy, are you not smiling? You are so serious." Onemig asked me. Sa sobrang katalinuhan nitong bata na 'to lahat napapansin niya.

I smiled at him and messed his hair, "I'm just thinking of something, baby."

"What is it, mommy?" he asked again.

Napaisip ako agad, ano ang sasabihin ko sakanya? Alangan naman na sabihin ko iniisip ko yung daddy niya. Bakit ba kasi ganito si Onemig? He's only four years old pero 'pag mag-isip akala mo matanda na eh, sobrang matanong pa.

"I'm just thinking which school you will study next year." I replied, "Dapat malapit lang sa bahay natin."

Yung reaction niya nung narinig niya yung sagot ko parang nagkaroon siya ng bright idea eh!

"Mommy, I want to study in Ateneo!" masaya na sabi niya.

Nanlaki ang mata ko, how the hell did he know that school?!

"How'd you know that school, baby?" I inquired.

"Daddy Ded." he replied quickly, "We watched basketball between Ateneo and La Salle."

Nasabunutan ko nalang yung sarili ko. JED BRIAN MANGUERA!!!! Inilalayo ko nga si Onemig kay Juamo pero eto namang magaling kong pinsan inilalapit siya sa tunay niya na tatay!

"Sino kasama niyo?" tanong ko, mamaya kasi kung sino sino naman ang kasama nila.

"Tito Thomas, Tito Jeron, Tito Kib, Tito Gabby and Tito AVO." sagot niya. Mabuti naman at puro Lasallians lang, wala naman kasing alam yung mga 'yun about sa'min ni Juami ang alam lang nila is kami ni Jed.

"Okay. Let's go baby. Daddy Jed is waiting outside."

Onemig was really happy when he saw Jed, he gave him a big hug.

"I miss you daddy Jed!!"

Jed messed his hair, "I miss you, too little boy!"

Onemig pulled away from his hug, "I'm not a little boy anymore! I'm a big boy na!"

And that made me and Jed laughed. Feelingerong bata 'to oh!

"Sorry, you're a big boy na pala." natatawang sagot ni Jed, "How was your day?" he asked.

"It was a fun day!" sagot niya. Happiness is evident on his face. Mukhang nag-enjoy talaga siya with Juami. Hindi ko na siya tinanong kong saan sila nagpunta, ang importante naman ibinalik siya sa'kin.

"Why? Where did you go?" he inquired.

"Mommy bought me new toys then Daddy Mami and I played basketball!" kwento niya, "He's a great player, Daddy! He taught me how to dribble, pass the ball and shoot."

"Who is daddy mami, baby?" nagtatakang tanong ni Jed sakanya.

"Juami." singit ko.

Napalingon siya sa'kin, mejo masama yung tingin niya. What?! I did not even want that to happen.

"Daddy, let's play with Daddy Mami next time." anyaya niya kay Jed.

He faked a smile, "Sure." he replied, "Let's go. Uwi na tayo."
