Eiren POV
"Kelan ang Birthday ng triplets?" Kanina pa tanong ng tanong si Zeus tungkol sa Mga triplets. Kung ano favorite color, laruan, pagkain, at kung ano ano pa.
"March 12, 2016." Tipid kong sagot. Not that I don't want him to know them, it's just that, it's awkward to talk to him after all these years.
"Alam ba nila na ako tatay nila?" Obviously not. Hello kaya nga mukhang kakaratehim na nila siya kanina. Alam lang nila ang pangalan ng tatay nila.
"No. Kaya nga pupunta tayo ngayon doon. To introduce you as their father." I suddenly faced him and saw a hint of disappointment in his face. Then he faked a smile and looked at me for a second.
"Eh noong nagbuntis ka, ano ano mga kinahiligan mong kainin?" He is trying so hard to make the conversation lively, but I'm blunt af in answering his questions.
"I just didn't like pizza and strawberries." He laughed for a moment.
"I can still remember that time when you were experiencing morning sickness, you can't eat your favorites." Yeah. But you left so you only experience it for a good week. Thanks to Luke who was always by my side.
"Yeah." Bagot kong sagot. This is the longest drive that I've ever had. Akala ko 15 minutes lang ang layo neto sa condo. Well thanks to Manila traffic. He was quiet for a moment.
"Are you currently in a relationship?" Napatingin naman ako sa kanya. I can sense a little tremble in his voice like he is scared or something on what I'm about to say. I put my gaze away and decided to look outside the window.
"No. But Luke is courting me." I'm not going to lie. I love Luke maybe not as deep as Zeus, pero enough so I can say yes to him. I'm planning to say yes to him by the end of the month.
"Fvck." I heard him curse so I decided to look at him again. He is now raging in madness, like you can see his jaws tighten and his blood vessels.
"You better.." he was about to say something but I decided to interrupt. We are almost in my parking spot.
"Just park on that vacant spot in your left." He did what i told him and when we got out I walked in front and he stayed behind. When we arrived at the elevator bigla na lang niyang hinawakan ang mga kamay ko.
"Ano ba sa tingin mo ang ginagawa mo Zeus?" I asked him while looking at him like he is a bs doing shit at the moment.
"Hinahawakan ang misis ko?" He said and leaned towards my neck. This stupid shit.
Nasa elevator kami with other tenants. I tried my best to remove his hand and shoo his head, but this crack head is too hard headed.
Nang makarating kami sa floor kung saan naroon ang condo ko, i held all my strength to remove his hands on my hands. Luke is with the triplets, the least thing that i want is a feud between them. Knowing Luke, that man can be possessive too.
I have my keys in me. When i opened the door my three chickpeas are patiently waiting in front of the door.
Aww my poor babies. The immediately ran towards me and hugged me tight. "Mommy." Sabay sabay nilang sabi.
"Mommy why didn't you get us from school earlier?" I held Styler on my arms.
"Mommy had to work. I'm sorry if Mommy wasn't able to fetch you guys earlier. Tito Luke was there though, right" i smiled at them and slowly took off my shoes.
"Yea mommy, he bought many toys too." They all ran inside, i guess to get the toys and show it off.
I almost forgot Zeus was outside. I slightly opened the door. "What are you standing there? Akala ko you want to meet our children?" For some reason his already stressed out faced lighten up.
"Our children" panguulit niya. "Ah! Music to my ears." Umirap na lang ako at niluwagan ang bukas ng pinto.
When we finally got in, i told him to wait in the living room. I was about to go to my triplet's room when Luke with a cookie in his hand was coming out from the kitchen. He immediately went to me and hugged me and kissed my cheeks. Bigla namang tumikhim ang bruho sa likod ko.
"Oh pare. You are here." Pagbati ni Luke. Tinignan siya ng masama ni Zeus.
"Hindi tayo mag pare. Of course I'm here. Andito ang magiina ko." He said in serious tone. Luke just faked a laugh and blurted out.
"That's funny. You weren't with them for almost 4 years." I saw how Zeus' hand formed into a ball shape ready to punch someone. And that is the least thing i want my triplets to watch, a live action movie.
I touched Luke's shoulder and told him my thank you for taking care of my children and also to go home. He immediately obliged and told me he trusts me.
When Luke left sakto naman na lumabas ang mga triplets. Each of them is holding a lego dinosaur. Looks like this is the toy that Luke bought and they already finished it.
"Mom." "Mommy" "mmy" sabay sabay nilang pinakita sa akin ang mga dinosaurs nila.
"Good job babies." Isa isa ko silang hinalikan sa mga pisnge. "Can you guys go to your bedroom? I have someone to introduce to you guys." They all looked at Zeus and looked at me again. I know they already figured it out so they all went inside their room.
"Halika na." I told zeus. After 5 steps i looked at him again and the guy hasn't moved an inch.
"Ayaw mo ba?" I asked him again.
"Gusto." He went closer to me and hugged me. I was about to remove it when he squeezed tighter. "Paano kung ayaw nila sa akin?" Ugh. Ang arte. He removed his hug.
"Well the triplets are smart. But idk if they hate you. I told them our story, my side of story. So there's only one way to find out." Let's go? I offered my hand.
Again, He smiled like a teenager getting asked out by his crush.
