Chapter 10

Partner

"I guess I'll be working alone this day," Sargent said before looking at Khalil. "Since they are not leaving without having some quality time with you."

Ngumuso na lang ako kalaunan ay napangiti.

Khalil decided to extend days here in Russia just to be with me but he promised me that he'll bring Eurence with him to Sweden after it.

"I am really sorry, promise babawi ako," I said to give her some assurance.

Tango at ngiti lang ang naging sagot niya sa akin bago tinitigan si Eurence. When she caught me staring at her ay bumitaw siya sa titig at napabuntong hininga. I can see through her eyes that she wanted to voice out something but she's stopping herself to do so.

"Call me when you need anything. And about the case of Timothy, can you take a look at it too? I think it has something to do with Czarina," sabi ko sakanya.

"Sure thing. Anyways, tell me the whole details about what you exactly saw on his apartment when you're done with your business. I have to go, enjoy." And with that, she finally left us.

I spent much of my time with my family. Nag swimming lang kami sa pool area ng building na ito at hindi na lumabas pa due to the request of my husband. Ayaw na rin niya kasing mag-aksaya ng oras so we end up choosing the pool area.

It was 12 noon when we decided to go back to the unit and have some lunch —just a roasted chicken, some slice of cake and ice cream as requested by our prince, Eurence.

Matapos mananghalian ay nagmovie marathon kaming tatlo and like the usual, balik pagkabata kami ni Khalil dahil sa napiling panuorin ni Eurence.

"Jerry! Run Jerry!" gigil na pagsisigaw ni Eurence habang patalon-talon pa na chi-neer si Jerry na hinahabol ng pusang si Tom and when Tom caught the poor mice ay naiyak si Eurence bigla.

"He's going to eat Jerry!" sumbong niya kay Khalil kaya niyakap na lang siya nito habang pinapatahan. Napangiti na lang din ako habang pinagmamasdan silang dalawa. They always have this kind of bond.

Eurence is too close to Khalil and so my husband is. I just wish that I could not break the bond they have. They look perfect with each other but I know someone who will really look more perfect together with my son.

"Is there something that bothering you?" Napukaw naman ako nang marinig kong magsalita si Khalil.

Eurence is now playing with the toy that they brought from Spain.

"Wala naman," wika ko.

Khalil heave a sigh and slowly pull me close to him. Dahan-dahan niya ring hinahaplos ang braso ko tila ba pinapagaan niya ang nararamdaman ko by doing such thing.

"You cannot lie to me, hon." Ngumiti na lang ako at niyakap siya and insisted that nothing really bothers me but I know he didn't buy that one and when he saw me giving a sight of our son, I know he already knows what's in my mind that keeps on bothering me.

"We'll talk that soon, Jenan. After your work here, we'll settle everything but I promise you, everything will remain as what it was," he said before giving me a kiss on my forehead.

Our son then giggles when he caught us in this situation. Tumakbo siya palapit sa amin at kumandong sa akin and then he gave me a kiss on my lips.

"Te quiero, mama," he sweetly said. Tumikhim naman si Khalil at pinulupot ang mga braso sa akin.

"Your momma loves me," he told Eurence na nginitian naman nito.

"She loves me more," Eurence growled and give his father a tongue. Napatawa na lang ako sa kabiguan ni Khalil na sinuksok ang ulo may leeg ko and just a moment I feel something smooth and warm thing moving in a slow phase.
