Winning Back Mrs. De Castro (MGDC: Book 2)

Chapter 4. Her Little One

|Glaiza|

"Mimi ..."

I heard a small voice infront of me, kasabay ng paghawak ng isang maliit na kamay sa braso ko.

I stop scrolling my phone and my eyes went upward.

Two pairs of very familiar eyes greeted me.

I frowned as I tried to think where on earth did I saw that very same brown eyes. Pero bago ko pa mahagilap sa isip ang kasagutan ay narinig kong muling nagsalita ang nagmamay-ari ng pamilyar na mga matang yun.

"Mimi, you're back!" Exclaimed the little girl infront of me. Unexplainable delight was shown in her face. I could guess she's in between five or six years old and definitely got the beauty for she looks like an angel with her angelic face.

And she called me Mimi.

Before I can even say a word, I found myself wrapped inside those little arms. The little angel was hugging me and I was pretty much stunned as I felt my heart started beating faster than the usual. It felt like my heart recognized those warm embrace.

I would've hug her back, I want to but my mind is telling me otherwise. Surely this little kiddo mistaken me for someone or she wouldn't hug me at first glance.

Maingat akong kumalas sa pagkakayakap ng munting anghel. Careful not to make her feel rejected or do something that will terrified her.

"Hey, sweetheart, where's your Mom?" I gently asked as we go face to face.

"You are my Mom. You're my Mimi." She replied innocently.

"No, I'm not your Mimi. And I wanna know who's with you. Who brought you here? Where's your guardian?" Tanong ko habang hawak ang maliit nitong kamay.

"No, you really are my Mimi ... and you're back! I knew you will. And Caiden is a big liar because he told me that you don't love us and that you will never come back because you don't want us anymore. Mimi, please don't leave again ... please stay ... please ... I super missed you ..." She was looking at me with pleading eyes and how am I supposed to say no to that?

And so I nod. Indulging her a little so she won't get upset. Mahirap na baka magtantrums pa, and I have no idea how to deal with kids especially when they're not on a good mood.

"Yay!! Thank you Mimi, I love you." Masiglang pahayag nito.

"I love you too." Hesitant na sagot ko dahil alam kong naghihintay ito ng sagot ko.

Her smile widen and her small arms quickly wrapped around me again. She's hugging me, a little tight this time, as if she's really been missing me for years and I felt something warm touch my heart with that gesture.

Suddenly the thought of my unborn daughter came into my mind. Naisip kong siguro ay kasinglaki na din ng anghel na ito ang mga anak kung nabigyan lang sila ng karapatang mabuhay sa mundo.

With that thought I didn't held myself from hugging her back.

I felt my tears fell down as I close my eyes and embrace her tight. I can't help as small sob escaped from my mouth. Years of longing from my unborn children made me feel a little emotional.

"Mimi, why are you crying?"

Ang munting tinig na yun ang nagpabalik sa'kin sa kasalukuyan. Para akong nahimasmasan sa mahimbing kong pagtulog kasabay ng pagkaputol ng isang magandang panaginip.

Mabilis kong pinunasan ang mga luhang dumaloy sa pisngi ko bago kumalas sa pagkakayakap sa paslit.

Nagpalinga linga ako sa paligid sa pag asang mahahanap ng mga mata ko ang kung sinuman ang kasama ng batang ito.
