5 years.....
I looked around the whole place, nasa NAIA airport ako....it has been 8 years since I came back...
Philippines.....
"MOooommmmyyyyy!"
I sighed and turned to the little boy who shouted and there I saw the boy frowning
"Baby...stop frowning.."
"Mom, Nicolas is not listening to me" inis nitong sabi sabay turo sa katabi nitong bata na nakayuko lang at naglalaro sa tabi nito.
"Nate.." tawag ko sa kanya pero wala epek ata
"See! He is totally ignoring me and anyone who tries to talk to him"
"Nicolas, we are now in Philippines, kaya naman please, magsalita ka ng tagalog"
"Whatever!" he then rolled his eyeballs
"Para kang bakla sa reaction na yun Nicolas"
"Hindi ako bakla!"
"I know, I know baby...you are too handsome to be one" tapos kinurot ko ang pisngi nito, for a 5 year old boy ang daldal niya
May pinagmanahan eh sabi ng isa kong pagkatao
I know, sabi ko sa sarili ko, tinignan ko na naman ang isa pang batang busy sa tab nito at naka earphones pa, tsk tsk tsk
Tinangal ko ang earphones nito at kinuha ang tab kaya napatingin kaagad ito sa kanya
"Mommy naman! I was about to win" inis nitong sabi
"Watch your tone young man" I warned him
"Sorry mom.."mahina niyang sabi
"Come on the two of you, get up and we need to go" sabi ko
"Okay po" sabay nilang sabi at tumayo,nakatambay kasi kami sa waiting area, ang tagal namna kasi ng sundo namin.
Biglang nagring ang phone ko kaya tinignan ko yun
*daddy calling..."
Agad ko naman yung sinagot
"Hello dad?"
'Eclaire, asaan kayo?' tanong ni papa
"Andito lang kami sa waiting area dad, kayo?"
"Well we are looking for you...Ah wait, nakikita ko na kayo'
Then I heard my sons shout "PAPSI!"
Paglingon ko ayun nagsitakbuhan na ang dalawa patungo sa daddy ko
"Hey you two, I missed you a lot" tapos hinalikan ang mga pisngi nito "And I missed you too princess"
"Dad, please, I'm not a princess anymore" angal ko at niyakap siya
"I know but still you will always be for me"
"Thanks dad" naghiwalay kami ng yakap and he smiled to me, I really miss him
"Welcome home Eclaire"
************************************
Habang bumabiyahe kami pauwi.....
"Kamusta ka naman doon sa Britain Hija?" tanong ni dad
"I'm okay, Masaya naman doon"
"I'm really happy that you have decided to come home"
"Yeah, I have to do something very important kasi dad" and I intend to finish it now sabi ko sa isip ko
