My Ex-Boyfriend. [BOOK 1&2] COMPLETED

chapter twenty six.

I always wanted a happy and complete family..

A family I never had..

The family I wished my kids will have.

Thank God He is here. To fulfill my dreams.. To dedicate his life for me, and our kids..

13 YEARS LATER..

"Happy mother's day mom!!" Kakagising ko palang and I saw our room full of decorations and I saw Ivannah and Lawrence at the door, both carrying a wrapped gift and a rose. I stood up and they both gave me a peck on my chick tsaka nila iniabot ang regalo nila.

"You both suprised me."

"It"s just the beginning mom!" Nagulat ako ng biglang tumugtog ang theme song namin ni Ivan. And later, I saw him carrying a bouquet and may subong red rose. I felt something on my stomach. Is this butterflies? Damn. I'm too old for that.

My husband handed me the bouquet. I was slightly embarrassed dahil ni'hindi pa nga ako nagtotoothbrush. I'm on my worst look.

"Happy mother's day wifey! I love you." Saka ko niyakap ang asawa ko. Naluluha ako. Every year lagi nalang may ganitong gimik tong mag'aama ko eh. Nakakatuwa lang.

Pagkatapos nun lumabas na kami at nakita ko na prepared na ang dining table.

"Me and Ate Ivannah prepared our breakfast mom."

I smiled. "Thank you."

Umupo na kami at kumain. Ivan is still hands on with his company in Manila kahit nandito na kami sa US. Si Ivannah, eto. Proud mom dahil kakagraduate niya lang ng highschool with honors. Si Lawrence naman, incoming first year na. Masaya nga ako dahil naging maayos naman ang pamumuhay namin dito. Masaya kami, just like what I always wanted.

Pagkatapos naming kumain, Ivan invited us na pumasyal to celebrate Mother's Day. Sabi ko nga pwede namang sa bahay nalang eh. Pero kakampi ni Ivan ang mga bata eh. I had no choice anyway.

Nagpunta kami sa mga amusement parks dito. "Mom. Come on let's take pictures with that mascots!" Saka ako hinila ni Lawrence papunta sa mascots na nandito sa amusement park.

"Okay say cheese!" Saka nagpicture si Ivannah gamit ang monopod niya.

"OMG. I have something to post on my IG account na. Okay.. Uploading.. Celebrating mother's day with le'fam. #best mom #happyfamily #contented." Napatawa naman ako sa sinabi ni Ivannah. It's been a lot of years, I can't believe she's all grown up.

Pagkatapos maglibot sa buong amusement park ay nagutom ang mga anak ko, my hubby, Ivan, inaya kami sa isang fast food chain sa di kalayuan. Umorder na kami ng biglang mag'ring ang cellphone ko.

"Sino yan?" Tanong sa akin ni Ivan.

"Si ate Daniela. I'll just pick this up ha?" Tumango naman si Ivan at dumiretso ako sa CR.

"Hello? Ate?"

"Happy mother's day sissy! How are my pamangkins?" Narinig ko naman ang pag'iyak ng anak ni Ate sa kabilang linya. Yes she already have her own family.

"Eto, makukulit pa rin. Eh si Dane kamusta?"

"Okay lang rin. By the way, may nalaman ako, still remember you EX bestfriend? Christine? I heard that she's on a rehabilitation center for almost 3 years. She was positive for drug addiction." Nagulat naman ako upon hearing Ate Daniela's news. I never thought she'd end up like this, na habang ako masaya sa pamilya ko, siya, miserable ang buhay. Hindi ko rin mapigilang hindi malungkot sa kinahantungan ng babaeng minsan ko ring tinuring na sarili kong kapatid.
