Chapter 18

Jeron's POV

Ice's test results were normal so he was discharged na rin the following day. Nabinat lang daw yung bata. No strenuous for the next three days and she also gave vitamins for Ice. Si Mika naman medyo aloof ever since nagkita sila nung Arnold. I don't have the complete details but I have a hunch kung sino siya. I'll just wait for Mika to open up to me. Hapon na nang makarating kami sa bahay nila Mika.

Jeron: "Little boy, you should rest muna ha. Wala munang laro. You don't want to go back sa hospital di ba?" I told Ice habang paakyat kami sa kwarto niya.

Ice: "Yes, Dada. I don't like it there. Kuha sila blood sa akin. And the food is mapakla."

Jeron: "Kaya dapat magpagaling ka muna. Para we can play basketball na."

Ice: "Yes! Basketball!"

"Anong basketball?"

Ice: "Mommy, Dada and I will play basketball if magaling na daw talaga ako."

Mika: "Yes, baby. Kaya dapat magpahinga ka muna para gumaling ka na then you'll play na with your Tito Jeron."

Ice: "Dada, Mommy. He's my Dada!"

Mika: "Ok. Ok. He's your Dada. You'll play with your Dada." Mika was just smiling at me when she said the last "Dada."

I spent the whole afternoon with Ice. Nanood lang kami ng cartoons. When all of a sudden...

Ice: "Dada, do you like my Mommy?" San galing yun?

Jeron: "Hmmm...yes, baby."

Ice: "So you kiss Mommy na, Dada."

Jeron: "Bakit?"

Ice: "Kasi I want a baby brother na." Anong connect? "Kasi sabi ni Papa Thom, when you kiss magkaka-baby na kayo. So, you should kiss Mommy para may kapatid na ako." TORRESSSSS!!!

Jeron: "Little boy, huwag mo masaydong paniwalaan si Papa Thomas mo."

Ice: "Why?" Paano ko ba ipapaliwanag to...

Jeron: "Hmmmm...he was just joking about that."

Ice: "But he did say 'joke' naman sa dulo." ^_^

"Dinner..." Buti na lang. Kinuha ko na yung dalang tray ni Mika para sa hapunan ni Ice.

Jeron: "You just saved me there." She gave me a questioning look. "I'll tell you later."

Pinakain na muna ni Mika si Ice bago painumin ng gamot then inihanda na ito para matulog. Umakyat na rin si Sally para samahan si Ice matulog. Bumaba na kami ni Mika para kami naman ang magdinner na dalawa.

"Sira ulo ka talaga, Torres!" That's what Mika said after I told her what Ice told me earlier.

Jeron: "Hahahaha! Buti na lang at pumasok ka kanina. Hindi ko alam ang isasagot. Ang talino pa naman nung anak mo."

Mika: "Buti na lang at sa'yo tinanong. Hahaha"

We finished our dinner and we decided to take a walk at their garden. I must say mahilig si Mika sa mga halaman and ang gaganda ng flowers dito sa garden niya.

"He wants to talk to me." She suddenly said. "Si Arnold. He called me and said he wants to meet and talk to me."

Jeron: "Anong sabi mo?"

Mika: "I did not say anything. Binabaan ko lang siya."

Walang nagsasalita sa amin. All I can hear was the sound of the crickets.

Mika: "Hindi ko alam kung bakit bumalik pa siya. Sinira niya ako. Iniwan niya ako nung kailangan ko siya. Nung kailangan naming siya ni Ice." She was already crying and I couldn't do anything but hug her. Hinayaan ko lang siyang umiyak. When her sobs started to fade...

Jeron: "You don't have to talk to him now. But eventually, you'll have to. You two have unfinished business." She did not answer. Naririnig ko pa rin yung mga hikbi niya. "And maybe panahon na rin para makilala siya ni Ice."

Mika: "I don't know, Je. Ok na yung buhay naming ni Ice kahit wala siya."

Jeron: "Ok na ba talaga, Miks?"

Mika's POV

Ok na ba talaga ako? My conversation with Jeron ended with that last night. Honestly, hindi ko na alam. I thought I was ok, but when I saw him again, it's as if all the pain came back. And now, he wants to talk to me. I was in deep thought while drinking my coffee when I sudden saw flowers sa harapan ko.

"Good morning!"

Mika: "Je! Good morning! Aga mo yata? Thank you sa flowers."

Jeron: "I actually got that from you garden. Hahaha! I decided to come here early to cook you breakfast. Boring sa bahay and wala pa naman kaming practice, so makikigulo na lang muna ako dito sa bahay mo."

Mika: "May magagawa pa ba ako eh halos dala mo na yung buong grocery supplies mo dito."

Jeron: "I'll cook your breakfast, lunch and dinner. Kahit merienda ako na ang gagawa. I want you to forget all your problems, at least, for the day. Wala kang gagawin ngayong araw kundi ang kumain and maki-pagbonding sa amin ni Ice. Ok?"

Mika: "Ok."

Jeron started making our breakfast. Nakangiti lang ako habang pinanonood siyang magluto. This guy is making so much effort to make me happy. What have I done right to deserve this? I got distracted with the vibration of my phone.

From: +63917444****

Miks, please. Talk to me.

Sigh...I guess Jeron is right. I will have to talk to him.

To: +63917444***

I'll inform you when I'm ready.

Maybe, all I need is closure.
