Let Me Love You

8

Hindi ko mapigilang maawa kay Rome dahil si sinabi ni Bryant. I saw how his back stiffened while he consoles our other two sons. Humihikbi pa si Bryant sa aking balikat at ayaw ng bumitiw sa akin.

"Alis mo siya Mama. I don't like him." He seriously said. His small eyes, which he got from Rome, became smaller. I brushed his tears away before kissing Bry's nose.

"Bryant, baby listen to me." Anas ko. Humihikbi pa rin siya pero nakinig na siya sa akin.

"Bread man is a nice person okay? He won't hurt you."

He pursed his lips and hugged me tighter. Hindi na ito nagsalita kaya dinala ko na siya sa kanyang high chair. I sat him there and took his bib. Kinalas ko iyon para mailagay noong huminto ako.

"Do you want to put this on him?" I asked Rome. Bahagyang nanlaki ang mata niya bago tiningnan si Bryant.

"I-is it okay? Baka umiyak ulit?" nag aalala niyang sabi. Ngumuso lamang ako at kinuha ang kamay ni Rome para ilagay roon ang bib.

"Baby, Uncle bread man and Mama will put your bib on, okay?" paliwanag ko sa bata. His eyes were guarded while staring at Rome.

"Mama.." tawag sa akin ni Bryant. I held Rome's hand tighter. Naramdaman ko ang sagot niyang pagpisil rin.

"Ian.." tawag rin niya sa akin. Bahagya pa akong natawa dahil pareho ng tono ang mag-ama.

Lumapit kami kay Bryant para ilagay ang bib. Dahan dahan pa si Rome sa pagkakabit habang si Bryant ay nakatingin sa akin. I smiled at my son who was just staring at me.

Noong maisuot ni Rome iyon ay bigla na lang siyang bumuga ng hangin. He looks so relieved while looking at my eldest son. Nakatitig lamang si Bryant sa kanya bago naagaw ang atensyon niya sa inihain kong pagkain.

"Let's eat Kuya." I told him. He took his spork and started eating. Si Rome naman ay nanatiling nakatayo sa harapan nina Chasin at Neron na tahimik ng kumakain ng niluto niya.

"Kumuha ka ng upuan doon Rome. Saluhan mo kami." Utos ko. He looked at me before he gave me a breathtaking smile. Bahagya pa akong natigilan noong makita ko kung gaano kalaki ang ngiting iyon. It was as if I laid the world on his feet. Pinapakuha ko lang naman siya ng upuan.

Mabilis siyang kumuha ng stool bago niya ako pinagkuha ng pinggan. He sat beside me and we ate together with the kids. Maya maya lang ay sumandok siya sa isang kutsara bago iyon itinaas.

"Here comes the airplane." Anunsyo niya. Chasin and Neron opened their mouths while giggling. I looked at Bryant who was looking at Rome's spoon.

"Vrooom." Rome said bago niya ibinigay kay Neron ang laman ng kutsara. Bryant giggled before pointing at Rome.
