Erielle’s POV
The past days were unexpected. It is not part of what I have planned. I don’t intend to spill out the truth but I guess it was destined to happen. The original plan was to come back in the Philippines just to visit mom and dad, stay for a while and then go back to US afterwards.
But everything had changed just like a blink of an eye. My once upon a time happened. A dream that I keep on imagining when I’m asleep. A fairlytale that only happen on books where happy endings are real.
I’m not Cinderella nor Snow White or any other Disney Princesses I knew, but I’ve got my own prince. A knight in shining armor who will protect me with all his life. A man who would cross the ocean just to be with me. A man who would pick up all the stars at night just to wish all the best for me. A man who will love me to the moon and back.
I have Crius, the man of my life.
“Mommy, come on, wear this blindfold already.” Tale continue on forcing me to wear her folded handkerchief.
Isang linggo na mula nang lumipat kami sa bahay namin dati ni Crius. May ilang nabago sa interior design pero gano’n pa rin ang ayos ng kabuohan ng bahay. Naroon pa rin ang malaking picture frame ng kasal namin sa gitna ng sala. Sa kwarto ay naroon pa rin ang mga damit na naiwan ko. Kung paano ang ayos nang lumisan ako ay siya ring itsura ngayong bumalik na ako.
I'm glad to be back.
Crius told me that he never leave the house. He tried, but his soul is aching for the memories of it. He just couldn’t abandoned it.
Sa mga nagdaang araw namin dito ay mas naging malapit pa ang mag-ama. Crius is very determined to make up with Tale. He wants her to feel how good a father’s love is. He even filed an indefinite leave just to be with us.
“Daddy, ayaw naman po ni Mommy.” sumbong niya sa ama.
“It’s alright. Tayo na lang dalawa ang pupunta sa beach.” Crius smirked on me.
“Daddy!”
“What, anak?” maang nito.
“Akala ko po ba surprise? Why did you say it loud po?” Nameywang si Tale sa harap niya, naka-nguso na.
Binuhat ito ni Crius at ipinaupo sa island counter. “Pero ‘di niya naman alam kung saang beach, right? Also, she doesn’t want to go with us. Kaya tayo na lang, anak. Are you good with that, huh?” He poked on Tale’s side making her to giggle.
“Its alright po! Let’s go, Daddy, habang hindi pa mataas ang haring araw.”
Nagpabuhat ito sa ama at magkasama silang lumabas sa kusina, iniwan ako roon na mag-isa. Mag-ama nga sila!
I was frowning while watching them pack their things. Talagang iiwan nila ako?!
“Hey!” ani ko.
“We’re busy, Mommy.”
“Who says na hindi ako sasama?” angil ko nang sabay nilang isara ang kani-kanilang traveling bag.
“No one, but your actions does.” Crius shrugged.
“Ayaw ko lang naman magsuot ng blindfold. Huling beses na pinagsuot ako no’n ni Tale hinulog nila ako sa pool ni Styx. Malay ko ba kung gano’n ulit.” I heard my daughter laughed.
“You did that, Tale?” Crius asked her in amusement. “That was great! I bet your mom’s face was epic. Tama ba si Daddy, anak?”
“Yes po.” Tawa pa ng anak ko.
I mentally shook my head before I turned to the closet and get some clothes.
“How many days?!” I shouted.
