I sighed as I went inside the gate of a Mansion. Ang bahay ni CJ.
"Ady? Are you okay?" Tanong ko sa anak ko na nasa backseat at nakaupo sa car seat niya. He's holding a toy airplane. Simula kasi nang dumating kami mula sa Paris, tuwang-tuwa na siya sa mga eroplano.
Dahil natuwa si Eros na mahilig si Ady sa eroplano, niregaluhan niya ng napakaraming mga toy airplane si Ady. Pero ang gamit ni Ady na laruan ngayon ay ang binigay na laruan ni CJ sa kanya noong nasa Paris kami. He seemed to love it.
"Yes, Mommy. I'm okay. Weee!" He said and waved his airplane on the air.
"Let's go, anak." Binuhat ko siya palabas ng kotse. Ang ulo niya ay isinandal niya sa balikat ko. "Are you sleepy?" I asked him. Kinuha ko naman ang baby bag niya just in case.
"No, Mommy. I just love hugging you." He said. Mabuti na lang ako kahit tatlong taon palang si Ady, matatas siyang magsalita. He's very eloquent as well.
"You're so sweet. Anak, remember the time when I told you that your Daddy is far away and working?" I said as I caress his hair papasok sa bahay ni CJ.
"Yes, Mommy."
"Do you want to see your Daddy today?" I asked him.
"Can I? I want to!" He shouted kaya napangiti ako.
This is it. If the both of us didn't work before, I no longer want to hide Ady to him. He deserves to be Ady's father.
I sighed before pressing the doorbell.
"Ma'am Erin." Ngiti ng maid nila. Si ate Isabel yata siya base sa kwento ni CJ noon.
"Kilala niyo po ako?" Gulat na sabi ko.
"Oo naman, hija. Ikaw lang naman ang una't-huling babae na naikwento ni CJ dito sa bahay, eh." She smiled at dumako ang mata niya kay Ady.
"Ate Isabel, anak ko po, Airan Daniele. Ady for short." I introduced Ady. "Anak, bless." I told him and he listened.
"Anak niyo ni CJ." She said. It's not a question, it's a clarification.
"Opo." Tanging nasabi ko.
"Halata naman, Erin. Kahit hindi mo sabihin, 'di maipagkakaila na anak ni CJ 'yan. Kamukhang kamukha kaya niya."
"Kaya nga po, eh." I'm out of words.
"Osiya, tatawagin ko si CJ. Pasok ka muna." She said and assisted me to their living area.
"Mommy, is Daddy coming?" He asked.
"Yes. Wait a little, anak." I said that made him smile. His chubby and reddish cheeks puffed out. I kneeled infront of him a help him with his plane. "Here."
"Erin." CJ called from upstairs.
"Ady, come here." I extended my arms to carry him. "Remember kuya Pogi from the big tower?" I asked him.
"Yes, Mommy! You told me that the big tower is- Eiffel Tower! He gave me this airplane!" He said and waved his hand together with his plane at CJ nabubulol pa siya sa ibang salita.
"He is your Daddy." I said as I felt a lump on my throat. Hinawi ko naman ang buhok niya.
"You?" Exited na tanong ni Ady kay CJ at kumawala sa pagkakabuhat ko para magpabuhat kay CJ.
"Hi again, Ady." He smiled as kissed Ady's cheeks.
"Hi, Kuya Pog- Daddy," Ady said as he pouted,
suppressing his tears to fall. "Why- why are you late?" He cried at CJ's shoulders. Napa-iwas naman ako ng tingin dahil naaawa ako sa anak ko.
