Way Out (Whipped Series #1)

Capítulo Treinta y Tres

CAPÍTULO TREINTA Y TRES

It's been a week since me and Sandro got back together and his parents and our son are happy for us. Nakikita ko na iyong mga pagbabago kay Sandro. Hindi na sya nagsusungit o namimilosopo. Hindi ko alam sa iba kung ganon parin sya pero hindi na nya ako ginaganon. Mas sweet at clingy sya ngayon kasi.

Nasa office ni Sandro sya at ako naman ay nakikipagtalo sa anak ko. Papaliguan ko lang sya kasi oras na ng tulog nya.

"Mama, I'm a big boy! I can bath myself." Sigaw ng nya dahil nasa loob na sya ng banyo ng kwarto nya. Nakita nya ata akong pumasok bago sya pumasok sa banyo.

"No! You're still my baby." Sabi ko saka pinihit iyong door knob pero nakalock iyon.

"Mama, I can handle. I promise!" Sagot nya. Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ako o malulungkot kasi hindi na nya ako kailangan sa mga gantong bagay kasi lumalaki na sya. Hindi ako naging handa na darating iyong panahon na kaya na nilang mag-isa.

"Okay." I surrender. "But call me, okay if you needed Mama." I tried not to say it withou getting sad.

"Okay, Mama." After that I came back to our room and sit in the bed. I get my phone and look at Xander's baby pictures. Parang kailan lang hirap na hirap akong alagaan sya at patulugin tuwing gabi. Parang kailan lang grabe sya umiyak kapag nagugutom sya at nung nagkakangipin palang sya.

Ang bilis ng panahon, ang laki na agad ng anak ko. Nakakalungkot kasi hindi na nya ako kakailanganin. Kahit na gustuhin kong bata lang sya pero hindi pwede yun. Kailangan nyang lumaki at maging independent para sa magiging pamilya nya.

"What's with the sad face?" Napatingin ako kay Sandro na ngayon ay nasa harap ko na. Hindi ko man lang namalayan na andito na sya.

I showed him the baby pictures of Xander then I let him keep scrolling.

"A while ago, I was in his room ready to bath him but instead he locked the bathroom door and told me he can take care of himself now. I am sad because he grown up faster and I wasn't ready that this is the time that he have to take care of himself." He looked at me. "He is not baby anymore and it makes me so sad."

"Our child won't stay baby forever, babe."

"I know and it makes me so sad." He hold my hand and smile at me.

"We're feeling the same thing, Babe but they need to grow, okay? As long as I want them to stay depending on us, I want them more to depend on themselves. We are just here to support them to everything they want and will guide them into the right path. That's how parents do to their children. We don't own them."

"You changed."

"I changed to be better for you." He said and kiss me on my forehead. "Feeling better?" I nodded. "Good to know. I don't want to see you sad again. "

"Yeah, I'm sorry." He smiled. I really love his smiles. It makes my world whole.

"Wanna take a bath?" Tanong nya pero hindi pa ako nakakasagot ng buhatin nya ako papuntang banyo.

**

"Babe..." Nagising ako doon at napatingin ako sa bintana at orange palang iyong langit. Ang aga naman gumising ni Sandro.

"Ang aga pa, Sandro."

"Xander's woke up time is 8 am."

"And?"

"Let's make babies before he woke up." Napapikit nalang ako. Hindi pa sya kuntento kagabi. Grabe energy nya, inabot kami ng 12 mn.

"Lock the door."

"Done." He said then start doing things he really likes but I'm not denying that I never like what he do to me.

After that morning, natapos kami sakto bago kumatok si Xander para magpahanda ng pagkain pero dahil pinagod na naman ako ni Sandro ay sya iyong naghanda ng pagkain ni Xander.

Natulog lang ulit ako at nagising ako ng 10 am para maligo at ako naman ang maghahanda ng pagkain namin ngayong tanghalian. Pagbaba ko ay walang tao sa sala at kusina kaya pumunta akong office ni Sandro pero wala rin sila doon. Saan kaya nagpunta iyong mag-amang iyon?

Bumalik akong kusina para maghanda na ng pagkain namin. Baka nasa kapit-bahay na naman yung mag-amang yun. Medyo umaayos na rin yung pakikitungo ni Xander sa ibang bata dahil sa gala nilang mag-ama dito sa village. Good thing iyon para may maging kaibigan sya rito, doon kasi sa Korea inaaway nya lagi yung mga bata. Iba rin kasi talaga kapag sa ibang bansa. Kung dito sa Pinas okay nang makita kang mahina ng iba, hahayaan ka lang minsan iccheer ka pa pero sa doon, pagmahina ka, ibbully ka.

Lahat bigdeal doon. Dito yung iba nakikita na balewala lang.

I opened the ref to get the ingredients I needed but my eye caught a post note saying that go to garden. Hindi ko nga pala nacheck iyong garden.

Pumunta na ko doon para sigurado na andito iyong mag-ama at wala sa kapitbahay. Para alam ko kung anong gusto nilang pagkain ngayong tanghalian. Hindi naman sa mapili sila gusto ko lang ipagluto yung kung anong gusto nila.

Nagulat ako sa nakita ko ng makarating ako roon. Andoon iyong mga kaibigan ni Sandro at ang iba ay may hawak na mga instrumento. Hindi ko makita iyong mag-ama ko. Natigilan ako ng biglang kumanta iyong mga kaibigan nya.

Infairness, magaganda boses nila. Akala ko mukha at ugali lang maganda sakanila. May talent din pala. Hindi ko alam bakit nalulungkot na natutuwa ako sa kinakanta nila. Bakit naman kasi on bended knee iyong kanta?

Then when the chorus came, A guy came out that really caught my eye. He's wearing a tuxedo! He's so freaking hot wearing that. And also Xander wearing the same tuxedo as his father and carrying a small bouquet of flowers.

Unang lumapit sakin si Xander na iniabot iyong bouquet at saka tumakbo papunta kay Deamon. Napatingin naman ako kay Sandro ng tumingin si Xander sakanya. He's just there standing and smiling at me.

"I know it's been a while since you came back to me together with our son but the 6 years you're away from me I've been thinking about these, babe." He said whiling slowly coming closer to me.

"What's ... happening?" I said and that's only I can say because I'm clueless about this.

"Babe, those 6 years you're away from me there's no day passed without me thinking about you and regretting that I didn't told you these before things messed up. " He kept walking until he's in front of me.

"I regret telling you that I love you and I want to spend my years with you. Only you that's why I go to South Korea to tell things and fix things but that wasn't the time because I saw you cried in so much pain and I can't handle watching it then I asked Kuya Marco to watch you for me until I fix things here in Philippines." He grabbed my hand and looked straight into my eyes.

"Then I was ready to go back to Korea to get you there suddenly you came back with our son. Seeing my son for the first time I know he is the one that will connects us so I didn't give up to you even your actions give up to us. And now we're here,"

Bilang bumagsak iyong mga luha ko ng bigla syang lumuhod sa harapan ko. May kinuha sya doon sa bulsa nya at nang makita ko kung ano iyon ay mas naiyak ako. Halo halo na iyong mga nararamdaman ko at isa lang ang naiitindihan ko. I'm so happy.

"I, Alessandro López, asking you to be my wife. Will you marry me?" He said as he open the box to me.

"I thought we're still engage?"

"We are, babe but I want to propose to you and I want to hear the answer also so... Will you marry me, Charlotte Nicole?"

"Kahit hindi mo ko tanungin isa lang ang sagot ko, yes."

He smiled at me then slid the ring in my fingers before standing up and gave me a kiss. In that moment, I was hoping that kind of happiness will never end.

As I thought will be until she came back.
