NO OTHER

Chapter 18 - Saranghae

Ruai POV

I took a 3-day leave of absence from my work after SUJU visited in our house. Two days I spent to think and confess everything to my son. The next day, I’m ready to face him so at around 11:00  in the morning I sent him a message.

“WHAT TIME ARE YOU FREE TODAY? –Ruai”

In return he called me at sinabing susunduin niya ako sa bahay but I refused coz I know how hectic their schedules are due to their world tour so we agreed to meet at Kona Beans.

Now, I’m going to meet his family, his brother in particular and I don’t know how I’m going to act infront of him. This is the worst than assisting a 5-hour surgery. Aissshhh…chincha!

While hawak-hawak si SM sa  kamay we arrived at Kona Beans one hour before our meeting time. SM saw some Korean kids playing and asks if he can play with them.

“Ok…but, don’t go out ok?” he excitedly runs toward those kids while I approched the lady standing infront of a cash register.

“Excuse me…Miss…Is Sungjin already here…?”

“Anyeongheseayeo…yes ma’am, May I know your name please? Oh, do you have an appointment with him?”

“Nope, but he’s expecting me…us. Just tell him, I’m looking for him. My name is Ruai and my son is SM. Thank you.”

“Ok, have a seat please I will inform him.” Sabi naman nito while naka ngiti but I’m too anxious to return her smile.  

“OK, thank you…oh, could you please give us  Chocolate chip cheese, cheese cake, warm latte and orange juice. One order each. Thank you.”

Humanap ako ng maupuan na malapit sa pinaglalaru-an ni SM. Ngayon ko lang napagtuunan ng pansin ang lugar. It’s cozy and parang nasa Hawaii ka lang dahil sa design at ambience ng paligid. Super Junior photos were hanged around and mayroon pang malaking bulletin board sa isang bahagi pra sa mga fans na gusto mag iwan ng notes sa grupo. No wonder kung halos lahat ng customer nila ay mga fans from different parts of the world for them to see ang iniidolo nilang SUPER JUNIOR. Nagsisimula na akong magbuklat ng magazine syempre magazine kung saan featured ang grupo ng dumating si Sungjin.

Wow! Nung nagsabog ata ang langit ng kagwapohan sinalo na ng magkapatid na ito. Maliit ng konti si Sungjin kay Sungmin nevertheless he has his own personality na mapapalingon or mapapangiti ang kung sino man ang makasalubong nito. Of course may dimple siya at ang cute niya tingnan. Ilang taon na kaya ito…?

“Hi…Ruaina?”

“No other than, Sungjin…?”

“at your service, hyeongseonim.”

Nagkamay kaming dalawa at naupo. Ilang Segundo din at dumating yung inorder ko.

“Excuse me for awhile, I will just call him.” Paalam ko sa kanya at nilapitan si SM

“Baby, Please come here, I want you to met your uncle. Your daddy’s brother…and you must eat first before playing again, ok?”

I was so glad that SM happily accepted Sungmin as his father when I told him yesterday and he was so excited to see him the moment he opened his eyes this morning.

“Mom…? I’m not hungy yet…later please.”

“Don’t you want to meet your uncle Sungjin?”

“aahhhmmm…Ok, but how about my dad…? Isn’t he coming yet?” he said while holding my hands as we walks back to Sungjin.

“Sungjin, this is SM…baby this is uncle Sungjin, your daddy’s brother. Say hi…”
