Edison's POV
"Hey why are you still awake?" Agad niyang tanong sabay pasok sa kwarto ni Mary. Nakauwi na sila sa bahay at tsinicheck niya if tulog na ang mga bata.
Umupo siya sa gilid nang kama nito bago hinawakan ang maliit nitong kamay. Sa dalawang bata masasabi niyang kamukha niya si Mary, she is the girl version of him and his dad. While JD at pinaghalong mukha nang mga magulang nito.
"Can't Sleep Daddy." She said bago ito umupo at sa gulat niya ay yumakap ito sa kanya. "Thank you."
He rub her back bago sinilip ang mukha nito. "For what?"
"For everything po. For being our dad and brother at the same time. Tsaka for spending the weekends with us in the beach. Im so happy Daddy."
A warm emotion envelop his heart kaya napahigpit ang yakap niya dito. "Gusto mo bang laging kasama si Daddy every weekends?"
Tumango ito. "Yes dad, but kuya said we should understand if you cant, because you're always busy at work. And your working hard so we can have food on our table and also so we can go to school."
Tila kinurot ang puso niya sa nadinig. Damn what a failure he is, in his dad's and Cristine's funeral he promise to the two na aalagaan niya ang mga bata and that he will give them the love and attention they needed but its a shame to know na ang mga bata pa mismo ang umiintindi sa kanya.
He kiss the little girl's hair bago ikinalas ang yakap nito para matitigan ito nang husto. "Sorry for not spending time with you and Kuya ok? I promise Daddy will make sure that weekends is family time. Always know that you and kuya is the most important person in my life right now. Mahal na mahal ko kayong dalawa." He said na ikinangiti nang bata.
"Love ka din namin ni Kuya Daddy. Love na love." She adorably said kaya niyakap niya ito ulit bago ito hiniga.
"Sleep ka na or do you want me to read you a story?"
Umiling ito. "Mommy already read me a story awhile ago. I just can't sleep that's why, but now im sleepy na so no need to read me a story."
Ngumiti siya bago ito hinalikan nang tatlong beses sa noo. "Sleep then, I'll watch you and aalis lang ako pag tulog ka na."he said na agad nitong tinanguan bago ito pumikit.
Looking at his daughter, yes kahit kapatid niya ito in his heart the two kids are not just a siblings but they are his kids. And looking at Mary now ipinagpasalamat niya na kaugali ito nang daddy niya, mabait at napakamaunawain. And the Promise he said awhile ago, he meant it. This kids are more important than his works and starting today he will make sure that his weekends is off para makasama ang dalawang bata.
Nang makita na payapa na ang pag hinga nito ay hinalikan niya ito sa noo bago tumayo at ganun nalang ang gulat niya to see his wife leaning on the doorway habang Nakangiting nakatitig sa kanya.
"Hey." He said bago ito nilapitan.
Maingat silang lumabas nang kwarto ng bata bago niya ito inakbayan. "Kanina ka pa dun?" He ask habang naglalakad sila patungong kwarto ni JD and when they check it ay tulog na ito kaya agad nilang sinara ang kwarto.
"Hmm, nawala ka kasi kaya hinanap kita, then I hear you talking to mary si yeah." She said na nagpangiti sa kanya.
This woman really know how to make him smile. Sa mga simpleng salita at galaw nito ay ang dali niyang ngumiti.
"I hear your talk to Mary, and thank you for saying those words to her. And I will make sure na talagang tutuparin mo ang mga sinabi mo." She said bago ito naunang lumapit sa kama nang makapasok sila sa kwarto nila. "Higa na dali." Nakangiti nitong sabi kaya napatawa siya.
"The way you ask me to lay down on the bed makes me horny love. It seems like your sensually inviting me." Pang aasar niya na ikinasimangot nito.
"Oa, ako wag mong simulan ha Edison dahil pag ako napuno baka isang kurap mo lang hubad na ako sa harap mo." She said na ikinahalakhak niya.
Damn instead of being shy ay lumalaban talaga ito nang sagutan. And he like it, atleast it's not awkward. Nang makahiga ay agad itong tumingin sa kanya. May malalaking unan parin sa gitna nila kaya di talaga sila tabing tabi.
"Goodnight." She said.
Ngumiti siya bago dumukwang at halikan ang labi nito na tila nakasanayan na nilang gawin.
"Goodnight Love." He said at agad itong pumikit. Hindi niya alam kung gaano niya ito katagal tinitigan all he knows is that pinagsawa niya ang sarili na tingnan ito bago siya pumikit at matulog.
