CHAPTER FORTY
Soundtrack: Dark Paradise — Lana Del Rey
PRISCILLA
I had my last photoshoot today with Prieto. Shaun and Russel speak to me before I go. We were sitting in round table with different mixtures of coffee. Naging madali ang usapan namin dahil sa pagod na kaming lahat sa naging trabaho.
I went home. Naabutan ko pa si Tyrion na nakikipag-laro sa kanyang alagang aso. "Hello, Mama!" Bati niya sa akin nang makapasok ako sa loob ng bahay.
"Bakit hindi ka pa natutulog ngayon?" tanong ko sa kanya. Umiling siya, at hindi sinagot ng maayos ang tanong ko. Lumapit siya sa akin at hinalikan ako sa pisngi.
The morning after Cross and I made love in my bed, Tyrion lie while I'm sleeping kaya siya ang naabutan kong nakahiga sa tabi ko imbis na ang kanyang sariling ama. They have the same color and feature of eyes, napag kamalan kong si Cross pa rin ang nakatingin sa akin.
It was a memorable night with him. I assumed that he still remembers me, because the way holds and touches my body was the same way how he did it to me before. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam dahil iyon ang hinahanap-hanap ko ever since mag kahiwalay kami.
On the other hand, Tyrion was so near to his real father. Ngayong malapit na sila, hindi ko na muna mamadaliin ang lahat sa aming lahat. Hahayaan ko siyang matuklasan niya kung sino ako, at saka ko sasabihin kung ano si Tyrion sa buhay niya. They are my precious diamonds.
"Tutulungan na po kitang mag-impake, Mama." Pumasok si Tyrion sa loob ng kwarto ko habang nag lalabas ako ng mga damit sa dresser.
"Talaga?" Lumingon ako sa kanya.
"Nanny finished packing my clothes so I have extra time to help you, Mama." Sagot nito.
Humawak na rin siya ng ilang damit para ilagay sa nakabukas na maleta sa kama. "Ang bait naman ng anak ko."
Humagikgik siya nang kilitiin ko ang kanyang tagiliran. "How many days we're going to spend in New York, Mama?"
"Maybe about a month, but Mama still not sure, Tyrion." Sagot ko.
He jumped into the bed and lie in the end. "Then, are we going to spend Holidays there?"
"Oo, naman. It was your dream, 'di ba? Tinutupad ko lang 'yon."
I heard him sigh as if he was relieved. "You're the best, Mama."
It was third week of December. Together with son and his Nanny, Shaun and Russel's whole family, we take off to go in New York. We're really fortunate to spend Holidays out of the country especially now that we have kids of our own.
Nicky and I talked about the trip that we are going to do after the Fashion week and Christmas. The next stop will be in Disney, kids were so excited and so Russel because he was a fan of rides. Sinigurado kong hindi ko nadala ang problema at mga iniisip ko sa family trip namin, iniwan ko muna ang lahat sa Pilipinas to make sure na mag-eenjoy ako pati na rin ang anak ko.
I know I could still able to find Cross when I came back in the Philippines, I got his contact number from the photo album he borrowed to me. I was actually surprised when he asked me of a pictures of my son. Panatag na sa ngayon ang loob ko. Nakita ko na rin ang taong mahal na mahal ko. Alam ng Diyos na hindi nag-bago ang pagmamahal ko sa kanya. I hope, one day he could able to see me not as a model in the magazines, but see me again as his lover.
Hindi na ako makapag-hintay na mabuong muli ang pamilya namin. We have dreamt to have it, and now that we're almost there... wala ng ibang haharang sa amin.
