"Papaaaaaa!" sigaw ni A3 at maligalig na kumaway pa.
Lumingon sa gawi namin ang lalaking nakaupo sa hood ng kotse. Nagtataka naman akong napalipat-lipat ng tingin kay A3 at sa lalaking nasa tapat ng kotse.
Anong ginagawa niyan dito?
Naglakad ako palapit sa kaniya buhat pa rin si A3. Nakakunot ang noong hinarap ko siya, pabuka pa lang ang bibig ko para mag-litanya pero kinuha niya na agad si A3 sa'kin at hinalikan ako sa noo.
"Missed me, sweetheart?" nakangising tanong niya.
Inirapan ko siya at padabog akong pumasok sa front seat at nagkabit ng seatbelt. Aalis siya nang hindi nagsasabi sa'kin tapos bigla biglang susulpot ng ganito. Ginawa na niyang kapitbahay ang Korea, goodness gracious!
Umikot rin siya at pinaupo si A3 sa backseat saka kinabitan ng seatbelt. Nang masigurong maayos na si A3 ay pumwesto na siya sa driver seat at nakangising nilingon ako.
"Kailan ka nakabalik?" I asked him, still looking straight outside the window.
"2 days ago," he answered while starting the car's engine.
It's been 2 days at hindi man lang siya nagsabi? Pasimple ko siyang inirapan.
"A3, baby, where are your grandparents?" I turned to ask my daughter who's currently busy with her iPad.
"They went out when Papa came po," tutok pa rin sa paglalarong sagot niya.
"Mama and Papa went out on a date," nakangiwing singit ni Asher.
I rolled my eyes. He really hates it whenever his parents act like a teenage couple. I mean, what's wrong? They look cute together nga e.
The whole ride was quiet since I didn't engage in anything that he said. Naiinis pa rin ako sa kaniya. Baka kapag pinatulan ko ay mag-away lang kami.
We arrived at the nearest restaurant after the 10 minutes ride. I went out of the car and carried A3. He followed us na lang since hindi ko na siya hinintay. Manhid 'yan, hindi siya makararamdam na galit ka kung hindi mo sasabihin. Edi maghulaan kami, tutal favorite game niya naman 'yon.
"Mommy are you wearing the specs that Jennie designed?" my daughter asked, still resting comfortably on my arms.
"Yes, darling. You told me to use it often so I did," I said as I kissed her on the cheek.
Inaaantok na siguro siya kaya sumiksik siyang muli sa leeg ko. Mukhang napagod sa classes niya today.
We are near the parking area's exit when I felt like something is missing. Kaya kinapa ko ang bulsa ko, pero naroon naman ang cellphone ko. I even checked my bag pero naroon din naman ang mga gamit ko. What could I possibly lose?
I touched my ring finger because it feels naked, and my hunch was right...
"Asher, mauna ka na, nahulog yata 'yong singsing ko sa kotse," paalam ko.
