Chapter 28.2

It looks like na ito ang huling araw nila dito. Kaya pala wala na si Vernice dahil nauna na pauwi. Bukas ng umaga ang uwi nila pero ayaw papilit ni Rainne na manatili pa kami kahit hanggang hapon lang kaya nagswimming na kami at naglibot ngayong araw.

Yung tonight naman na sinasabi ni Azel mukang wala lang. Hindi ako tanga para hindi malaman kung anong ibig sabihin niya. Hindi ako mapalagay sa sinabi niyang ‘yon at hindi naalis yon sa isip ko hanggang matulog kami. I needed to sleep with the kids but I checked on her first before going to slumber. Maaga din akong gumising para puntahan siya sa kwarto niya.

I knocked and thought that she said yes to that douche bag’s invitation to sex. I almost lost hope but sighed in relief when she opened the door that morning with a frown. Five AM kasi ako nambulabog kasi hindi talaga ako mapalagay. Images of them doing something intimate, kills me.

Nagbreakfast lang kami at umuwi na. Dahil pareho kaming may sasakyan, convoy nalang. Seven wanted to be with her mom while I had Nine with me.

Okay naman ang lahat simula non pero napapansin ko na parang naging mas workaholic si Rainne. The truth was, hindi ko na siya gaanong nakikita sa bahay. Nakikipagkita kasi ako sa mga kaibigan ko dito. Plano kong ring magpatayo ng business sa tulong nila. I’ll stay here for good and I wanted to have a business that sells car and motor parts.

Minsan pagod ako pero hinihintay ko parin si Rainne kaso, there were times that she didn’t come home and it’s getting often.

I understand her ‘cause I also felt the same stress and burden when I used to manage our family business that’s why I always makes sure to give her breakfast every day. Lagi kaming magkakasama sa breakfast.

“Gagabihin ka ba mamaya?” tanong ko. Saglit siyang tumingin sakin bago niya ibalik ang atensiyon sa phone niya.

“Maybe.” 

“Well…I want to take you and the kids for dinner. Susunduin ka ba namin ulit?”

“No need. I’ll contact you.”

“Okay.” Nauna siyang matapos sa pagkain at agad na tumayo. “Say goodbye to mommy, kids.”

“Bye, mommy! Take care we love you.” Nakita ko kung pa’no siya napahinto at tumingin sa kambal bago sakin. I was showing my innocent smile and shrugged at her. She hissed but the sudden lifting of the side of her lips never escaped me. Lalo tuloy akong ginanahan dahil sa nakita ko.

“See you tonight, HONEY!” sigaw ko habang naglalakad siya I chucked proudly when I saw her stopped for a while but then didn’t look back and walked away.

Nakangiti lang ako habang inuubos ko ang pagkain dahil hindi mawala sa isip ko ang pwedeng mangyari mamayang gabi. Well, I have a surprise for her and the kids helped me with that. May hinanda kaming romantic dinner for four. Bakit for four? Diba dapat for two lang, pero gusto kong kasama ang mga bata sa pwedeng most happiest day of my life.

“Tito.”

I plan on proposing tonight, on my birthday. Yes! Birthday ko ngayon at gusto kong i-celebrate yun kasama ang mga bata at ang magiging future-Mrs. Dela Vega.

“Tito!”

I know that I’ll be skipping the courting and the boyfriend-and-girlfriend part pero necessary pa ba ‘yon kung alam kong sigurado na ko that I want her with me for the rest of my life.

“Tito!!”

“Hmm…What’s that?” mukang sobra akong nag-day dream dahil hindi ko narinig ang pagtawag at mga sinabi ni Nine.
