Nakapajama na sina Hansel at Gretel at nakahiga na sila sa kani-kanilang beds. Gretel is reading her favorite book, she's 3 but she can already read. Minsan siya pa nga ang nagbabasa ng bedtime stories para kay Hansel na mas gustong makinig kaysa magbasa. 

He can read but not as good as Gretel na minsan kumukuha na rin ng dictionary kapag may mga words siyang hindi naiintindihan.

"Hansel, Gretel, mommy has something to tell." I sighed. Umupo ako sa gilid ng kama ni Gretel. She put down her book at umupo sa kama. Tumagilid ng higa si Hansel para bumaling sakin.

"It is about your Dad." Parang may kung anong bumara sa lalamunan ko. Umupo na rin sa kama niya si Hansel at tumitig sakin. 

"Are you getting back together?" He asked me. 

"We saw you kissed." Dagdag pa ni Gretel. Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya at hindi ko pa agad naprocess ito. 

"H-Huh?"

"Mom, we knew who are Dad is, Lolo Grandpa showed us his picture before." Hansel explained. Hindi ako agad nakareact at nakapagsalita. I am lost of words! All this time alam nilang si Waldrin ang tatay nila?! And they acted like he was a stranger at first?! Hindi ko naman pinalaki para mag-artista ang mga anak ko pero kung umarte sila--

"Mommy, don't get mad at us. We don't want to keep it from you." Yumakap sa bewang ko si Gretel as her chin rested on my chest. 

"Tsaka sabi mo po diba kapag may sarili na siyang buhay hahayaan na lang natin siya kasi masaya na siya?" My son said sternly. Nakanguso ito at bakas ang tampo sa boses niya. 

"Come here Hansel." Niyakap ko silang dalawa pagkaakyat ni Hansel sa kama ni Gretel. 

"I'm sorry." Pumatak ang mga luha ko as I kissed their heads. "I'm sorry if Mommy forgot about your Dad, sana matagal niyo na siyang nakasama. Sana matagal na kayong may Daddy." I sniffed as I pulled them closer to me. 

"Mommy you were sick po and we understand." Gretel cupped my face as she wiped her palms on my cheeks. 

"Magkakabalikan na po ba kayo? You kissed na po eh." Hansel asked curiously. 

"Actually, gusto ko na sanang sa kanya na tayo tumira so we can be a whole family. Gusto niyo ba?" 

"He's not going to marry someone else?" Tanong pa ni Hansel.

"Nope, Mommy won't give him to someone else, he's mine, he's ours." I said softly as I kissed Hansel's temple. Pakiramdam ko maiiyak ulit ako. "What did you feel when you saw him?" I asked the two of them as I softly plant soft kisses on their faces. It's my way of consoling myself and making them feel I'm so sorry. Pakiramdam ko andami kong pagkukulang sa kanila.
