Patricia's
"Mommy!!!" narinig ko na lang bigla ang impit na boses ng isang batang babae na tumatalon-talon ngayon sa higaan ko pero hinayaan ko lang dahil inaantok pa rin ako ngayon.
"Mommy! You told me that we're going to the mall today!" even if I can't see her, I can imagine that she's already pouting. Napangiti ako kahit nakapikit pa ang mga mata.
Ang cute talaga ng anak ko.
"Mommy!!" at hayan na, hindi na siya nakatiis dahil niyugyog niya na ako. She even pulled the strands of my hair that's currently covering my face which made me remember something.
I was drowned in my thoughts when I was already showered by kisses that tickled me. Aww.
"Baby! Mommy's sleeping pa kaya." I groaned playfully at bahagyang napahikab. Bumangon na ako.
"Mommy, but you promised me. Maybe you forgot about it." she looked down as if she's gonna cry already. I smiled at tsaka siya kinarga para kumalong sa lap ko.
"Silly baby. Of course, I won't forget what I promised you. So,you better prepare na. Okay? Then we'll eat breakfast." I told her and wiped the tears that are threatening to fall galing sa singkit niyang mga mata.
Aww. My baby is such a crybaby.
"Hyunri? Ginugulo mo na naman ba ang Mommy mo?" I heard a voice and saw a man walking towards us and sat immediately at the bed.
"Dada." agad namang lumundag galing sa pagkakaupo ang anak ko at lumapit sa taong yun. It brightened her mood. Psh. Dada niya lang pala gusto niya. Should I get jealous?
"Grabe. Kapag ako, magpapasuyo tapos pag sa Dada niya, okay na agad." kunwaring nagtatampo kong sabi.
"Aw. Dada, Mommy's jealous. Hahaha." Hyunri laughed at parang inaasar pa ako kaya naman lumapit siya ako sa kanya and I tickled her.
"Dada! Help! I can't...Hahahaa...Breathe." tawa pa rin siya nang tawa habang humihingi ng tulong sa Daddy niya.
"Awh. You want me to help you baby?" he smirked which made me flinched.
Oh my god. I know where this is getting. I was about to ran away when he pulled me as our face become inches away and made me swallow hard.
"M-minggyu." siguro pulang-pula na ako ngayon. Lanya naman 'tong lalaking 'to.
Narinig ko naman ang hagikgik ng bulilit sa likod ng dada niya. Tss manang-mana.
"Oh. You're blushing honey." at dun na nga niya ako sinimulang kilitiin kaya tili ako nang tili.
It ended when he hugged me. It was always like that. He then face himself at the crook of my neck at damang-dama ko na ang hininga niya sa leeg ko that gave me goosebumps.
"You smell good babe kahit kakagising mo lang. I really love your scent." he said and kissed my cheeks.
Bigla naman kaming dinambahan ni Hyunri kaya napabitaw sa akin si Minggyu.
"Dada! Mommy! Ako rin, gusto ko ng kiss." she said as she pouted which revealed her natural pink lips and cheekbones. Her eye-smile made its way immediately as I kissed her cheeks as well as Minggyu. Magkamukhang-magkamukha sila.
"Tara na muna baby. Let's wait for Mommy outside and let her get ready. Okay?" Minggyu immediately carried Hyunri outside the room. Dun ko lang din napansin na nakaayos na pala silang dalawa.
I fixed myself para makapagbihis na. It's been so long. Four years. It's been four years since it all happened. Four years na rin simula nang lumipat ako dito sa Paris and helped our business. Marami na ring nangyari sa loob ng apat na taon. It was tough but I'm blessed enough to have Minggyu by my side. Syempre mas masaya dahil kasama ko ang anak ko. Ang anak namin.
Napapaisip pa rin naman ako kung kumusta na siya but I should just forget about him. We're both contented with our lives each other.
Hindi ko na rin naman siguro kailangang magpakita pa sa kanya dahil wala naman siyang pakialam sa amin. Diba?
Di ko pa siya kayang harapin at di ko alam kung kakayanin ko. I admit that I have bitterness inside me but I am too busy thinking for my daughter than him. Bakit ko siya iisipin e nagawa niya nga kaming itaboy.
That's why I'm so thankful that Minggyu was there and Hyunri came in our lives. I'm more than enough.
Natapos ako sa pag-aayos at nagpasiyang bumaba. Dinig ko na ang kalansing sa dining area.
"Mommy!" tawag sa akin ni Hyunri na tumayo pa sa upuan habang umiinom ng gatas.
"Baby, baka mahulog ka." I told her. Buti na lang nasa tabi niya ang Tita Lyrie niya.
May pagkakahawig silang dalawa siguro dahil si Lyrie ang nag-aalaga kay Hyunri kapag wala ako. She really enjoy it though. Sila ni Akiro, ang kapatid ng girlfriend ng kuya niya. Bumungisngis lang si Hyunri.
Nakaupo sa dining ngayon si Mommy, Lyrie, Akiro, magkatabi kami ni Minggyu at nasa pagitan naman nila Lyrie at Akiro si Hyunri. Lyrie's parents ay nasa US ngayon for business while her brother, Tsuji was now in Korea. Ewan ko lang kung anong ginagawa dun.
"How was your seminar in the States, Lyrie?" Mom opened the topic while I stay still to listen.
"It was good, Auntie. It really inspired me to pursue being a psychometrician someday" she said and smiled.
Nakinig lang ako sa pinag-uusapan nila at kumain. Si Hyunri naman, nagpaalam na maglalaro muna sa garden sa labas.
Lyrie opened a topic that drawn my attention to her instantly.
"We actually had a detour. Akiro insisted kasi eh. We went to NY and he treated me to Wanna One's concert." she told us in an excited manner.
"Really?" Mom said habang kumakain then suddenly looked up to meet my gaze, waiting for my reaction.
"Yes Tita! If only I knew, I should've let ate Pat join me." she said enthusiastically and looked at me while I just smiled at her.
So nakita niya sila? Si Daehwi? Siya?
"There's no need to do that. Wala naman siyang business dun, diba Patricia?" I gulped the moment Mom called me.
Minggyu held my hand for me to realize that I have to answer.
"Y-yeah." I faked a smile. No one dared to talk after that because the atmosphere has gotten heavy.
Buti na lang nagsalita ulit si Lyrie to lessen the tension.
"By the way, I'm happy to announce to all of you that kuya Tsuji is getting married soon and next month is his Engagement Party." we're all shocked by the sudden announcement.
"Woah. That was quick." Minggyu said.
"Anong quick kuya? Kupad kamo! Ang kupad ni kuya. Psh." Lyrie exclaimed with matching rolled eyes which made us all chuckle.
"Baka kayo naman ni Akiro sumunod ahh." pang-aasar ko sa kanila that made them blushed. Hmm.
"Wag niyo nga kaming asarin. We're like bestfriends duuh. By the way, the event will be held in Jeju." she said as she finished her food.
"Oo nga ate. And may naghihintay pa sa kanya sa Korea noh kaya kahit ligawan ko yan ngayon, babasterin din ako niyan." Akiro pouted at napangiwi nang bigla siyang kurutin ni Lyrie.
These two really, kahit kailan parang aso't pusa.
"We're going back to Korea!" Lyrie exclaimed suddenly maybe because of her excitement.
We're going back?!
