Kabanata 26

Masama ang pakiramdam ko.

I woke up with a heavy head and a pain on my throat after vomiting non-stop. Huminga ako ng malalim at sinuklay ang buhok ko gamit ang daliri at tinitigan ang mukha ko sa salamin.

I am so pale, namumutla ang labi ko at pakiramdam ko ang pangit-pangit ko kaya nangunot ang noo ko. My forehead creased and I scratched my arm in annoyance.

Ang dami ko kasing kinain kagabi! Damn, siguro sira 'yung kinain kong avocado?

Lumabas ako ng kwarto at nagtungo sa ibaba at kaagad kong naamoy ang pagkain para sa agahan. I yawned and stretched my arm, mas inayos ko ang roba sa katawan at nagtungo sa kusina.

"Morning, Mimi!" My eyes brighten when I saw my son waving his hand at me, he was wearing his school uniform and is sitting on the stool.

"Morning, anak." Marahang sabi ko. I moved closer, nang iangat n'ya ang kamay ay kaagad ko s'yang niyakap at hinalikan ang noo.

"Ang bango-bango naman ng baby ko," I murmured and kissed his cheek.

"Mimi! Naligo na po ako mag-isa kasi big boy na ako!" He proudly said, natawa naman ako at hinaplos ang buhok n'ya.

"Good boy!" I chuckled. "Mimi is so proud of you,"

Mula sa anak ko ay nabaling ang atensyon ko nang mapansin ang isang titig sa akin.

My brow raised, kaagad na nalipat ang tingin at ngumuso ako nang makita si Caspian na nakasuot ng shorts pero walang damit pang-itaas, he was holding a spatula, nakasandal s'ya sa may lababo habang nakatitig sa akin.

"Oh?" My brow raised.

"Morning, ganda." Aniya. Ngumuso ako at umirap.

He chuckled and stood straight, bahagyang niyakap ko ang anak ko at muling hinalikan sa pisngi bago saglit na iniwan sa stool at lumapit kay Caspian.

He opened his arms widely when he saw me approaching, he even closed his eyes and a smile escaped his lips, feel na feel na yayakapin ko s'ya pero nilagpasan ko lang s'ya at dumungaw sa niluluto n'ya.

"Walang fried dumplings?" I asked.

"Walang morning kiss?" Irit ni Caspian at ngumuso habang papalapit.

"Walang dumplings?" I said instead.

"Wala," He shook his head instead, I felt his hug on my waist as he bury his head on my shoulder and kissed my shoulder blades.

"Gusto mo ba ulit? Naubos na 'yung kagabi, Reev." Bulong n'ya at marahang pumatak ng halik sa pisngi ko.

"Gusto ko ng soup tsaka may dumplings, Cas." I murmured, staring at the meat that he is cooking.

"Alright," He whispered.

I slowly shifted my position and met his chest, he lowered his gaze at me at kaagad naman akong yumakap sa leeg n'ya at tumingkayad para amuyin ang leeg n'ya.

"Bango mo, Cas." I murmured softly, sniffing his neck.

He chuckled deeply, humawak s'ya sa baywang ko para alalayan ako at hinayaan akong suminghot lang sa kanya.

"I haven't taken a bath yet," He murmured. "Mamaya pa ako maliligo."

"Hmm," I hummed, running my nose on his skin.
