HTN2: The Heiress is Back

Special Chapter III

Xian Dale's POV:

"Daddy?"

Napalingon ako ng madinig ang pagtawag at mumunting hikbi ng prinsesa ko. Umiiyak ito habang nakasilip sa pintuan ng opisina ko with her hair messy while wearing her hello kitty PJs. Madali ko itong tinungo at binuhat. Aww. My baby's too adorable. She's just 4 years old.

"What's the matter baby? Why are you crying?"

Natataranta kong tanong. Kinusot kusot nito ang mga mata nya sabay yakap sa leeg ko. I caressed her back ang kiss her hair. I glance at my office wall clock and find out that its already 12 midnight. I frowned.

"Baby?"

I mumbled. She tighten the hug. I heard her little sob.

"D-addy.."

She whispered. My little princess is having a nightmare. I assumed. Isinayaw sayaw ko ito habang nag huhum ng song para makatulog sya.

"Oh my God Xi---honey!"

Tarantang sigaw ng maganda kong asawa ng makitang buhat buhat ko ang anak namin. I gave her a 'quiet love' look. She silently walk towards us and hug me from the back. Naglalambing si misis.

"I thought something bad happen to her love. Kinabahan ako ng hindi ko sya makita sa room nya."

Pabulong na sabi ng asawa ko habang nakayakap sa akin. I reach for her hand using my free hand at hinila sya patungong kwarto ni Triya. Tahimik namin itong pinagmasdan ng maihiga ko ito sa kama nya. I held my wife's waist.

"Love, our baby is growing so fast."

She mumbled. I stared at her while she's intently looking on our daughter. I smiled. Everytime I look at her beautiful face, lagi lang nitong pinapaalala kung gaano ako kaswerte na ako ang asawa nya.

"Yes love, she's growing so fast. Pwede na ba natin syang sundan?"

I unintentionally utter while staring at her. Bigla naman itong namula at sinampal ako ng mahina. Aww my love is too cute. Napapangiti ako sa katotohanang nahihiya parin ito sa akin kahit halos limang taon na kaming mag asawa.

"Xian..."

She utter using her warning tone. I put my two hands up for defeat. Takot kay misis eh. Baka hindi pa ako maka score mamaya.

"Let's go love."

Pagyaya nito sa akin ngunit bago kami lumabas ay hinalikan muna namin ang noo ng anak namin. Nang makalabas kami ay humarap ito sa akin.

"Aren't you sleepy? It's too late. May oopisinahin kapa ba?"

She asked. I smiled and shook my head causing her to smile too. Hawak kamay naming linandas ang daan patungong kwarto namin. Hindi pa pala ako nakakapagpalit ng damit mula kanina galing opisina. Niluwagan ko ang necktie ko at pagod na naupo sa kama. I saw my wife searching something on our closet.

"Here. You should change love. Take a bath first."

She said then handed me a white shirt and a boxer short. I gladly accept it and held her hand causing her to frown. I stood up and face my wife while cupping her face. This beautiful face I can stare at forever. Hinding hindi ko pagsasawaang titigan.

"Join me babe.."

I mumbled and kiss the tip of her nose. She chuckled then remove my hands on her cheeks.

"Stop that mister. Maligo kana."

She utter then push me.

"No I wont."
