"Hello?"
"Get out now." Chiari said. Bakas na bakas ang galit niya sa pagbigkas niya sa mga salitang 'yon.
"No Chiari"
"Get the fuck out Yanah!" He shouted.
"You are not my father to tell me what to do Chiari!"
I ended the call. How dare he dictate my action! Nakakairita! After weeks of being gone babalik lang siya para paalisin na naman kami sa bahay ni Nicholas?
"Mommy!" Dion came rushing to me with a troubled face.
"What is it Dion?"
"Daddy Chiari is outside with Tito Nicholas,they are shouting."
"What!?" I exclaimed.
Mabilis akong lumabas ng kwarto at bumaba ng hagdan. Shit! Shit! Shit!
I heard Chiari's voice outside the house shouting my name.
"Give me back the kids and Yanah, asshole!" he said while trying to get in the house but Nicholas won't let him.
I closed my eyes to control my temper. I exaled a lot of times and when I'm ready, I faced Chiari outside.
"Yan-"
"Stop it Chiari!"
He stopped shouting and looked at me.
"Let go of me fucker!" he shouted when Nicholas tried to stop him from walking towards me.
"Its okay Nicholas. Let him."
He came closer when Nicholas let him go but before he even came closer I slapped him. Hard.
I don't know why I did it but my hands just flew in his face to hurt him.
"After you've gone missing. You will just pop up out of nowhere just like that? What are you a God?" I said in a soft but sarcastic voice.
"I'm just thinking about things Yanah. About us! I never wanted you to leave. Please.. let's go back. Come back home." He said pleading me. His on the verge of crying.
I looked at him. I admit I miss him. He is still the one who was there when I needed someone to comfort me. He is still that sweet guy who always wipes my tears when I'm crying. He is still the guy who said he loves me but unfortunately he is also the guy who is my bestfriend.
"I'm staying Chiari. We're staying."
I didn't look at him in the face. I don't wanna look at him dahil baka pag tumingin ako sa mata niya baka... baka gawin ko ang gusto niya.
"Why..." he asked.
"Chiari.. they loved it here tsaka mas convenient kapag nandito sila dahil nandito ang Daddy nila. Hindi na kailangang pumunta ni Nicholas sa bahay m-"
"Then what about me!?"
What about him?
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"What about me, Yanah? I love your kids too! I treated them as my own and then now.. now your taking them away."
"Chiari.."
"I'm coming with you."
Dion came towards Chiari and to hugged his legs.
