"Mom may I remind you that your daughter is 14 years old and not 5 years old" my daughter said in an authorized tone, referring to herself
"Kaela, it's cute" I teased her.
"I'm not a baby" her eyebrows crossed.
"But for me, you're my only baby" I said.
"What about me?" Kael asked in a cute tone.
"You two are my babies, okay?" I said and they nodded as an answer.
"I love you Mom" they both said at once. They're so sweet, it reminds me of someone. Kung ito ang mga pamangkin ko, paniguradong wala silang pakialam sa'kin
"May I remind you to buy presents for your Tita Lia's child"
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Kaela asked.
"Boy" I answered.
Sumama ako sa kanila dahil gusto ko ring bilhan ng regalo ang pamangkin ko. Nagpunta kami sa department store at nag-aaway pa silang dalawa kung alin ang mas maganda na ipang-regalo.
"Eto nga kasi yung maganda eh!" Kaela protested.
"Bakit, lalaki ka ba?" Pagsagot ni Kael
"Enough you two. Ilagay niyo na parehas yan dito" ani ko kaya sabay nilang nilagay at si Kael naman ang nagtulak ng push cart hanggang cashier.
"That would be 2,935" The cashier said. Magbabayad na sana ako nang bigla naglapag si Kael at Kaela ng tig 1,500 pesos.
"It's on us" Kaela said and I smiled.
Pagkatapos mag check out ay pumunta kami ng parking at si Kaela na daw magda drive dahil tinatamad na si Kael magdrive. They have their own driver's license at the age of 14. Nakakuha sila ng License dahil kay Tito Kalen nila
"Were here" Kaela parked the car in front of Lia's home and handed me the key.
"Finally" ani Kael at kinuha ang mga regalo sa compartment. Pagpasok namin, nandoon na silang lahat
"Kaela!" Lyra shouted at us. Lyra is a friend of mine and Lia.
"Hi, Tita" Kaela politely said.
"Hey bro!" Nagfist bumb sila Kael at Kalen
"Ang tangkad niyo na" Seraphina said
"Kaya nga ilan taon na kayo, 14?" tanong ni Lucas at sabay na tumango ang dalawa
"Can you give Tita a hug?" tanong ni Lyra at dali-dali namang lumapit si Kaela at mahigpit na yumakap sa kanya.
"I miss you Tita. Sobrang boring sa California, I swear" she pouted
"So cute" Liam said
"Punta lang po kami kay Baby" Paalam nung dalawa at tumango kami
"Hey guys!" Kaya lumingon ako kung sino at namutla ako kung kanino nagmamay-ari ng boses na yun
"F-Fitz" I muttered
Nang magtama ang mata namin ay nagulat siya kasi almost 15 years ako nagtatago sa kanila and tinago ko din ang mga Anak niya
"Hi Vanessa" He said in a cold tone.
"Hi" Pinipilit kong wag mautal kaya hinawakan niya ang siko magsasalita na sana siya nang may tumawag sa akin kaya binitawan niya ko.
"Mom" tawag ni Kaela habang hawak hawak si Gaio, anak ni Lia. Shit!
"He's cute right?" sabi ni Kael habang hawak ang baby bottle
"Hey kiddos dito kayo" Tawag ni Liam sa kanila kaya kaagad silang sumunod
Naramdaman kong may nakatingin saakin kaya lumingon ako ganun nalang ang gulat ko ng madilim ang tingin saakin ni Fitz kaya nun magtama tingin namin umalis ito
"Mommy who is he?" Kael asked
"He looked exactly like you" inosenteng sabi ni Kaela kay Kael kaya namutla ako. Alam kong matalino ang mga anak ko pero hindi pa 'to ang oras para doon
"So?" Kaela asked, waiting for my answer. Bakit ba ang dami nitong tanong?
"That Man is Fitz. He's a friend of ours too" Deim saved me from the two.
"But why does he always approach Kaela?" Kael innocently asked
"What?!" gulat kong tanong. Nagkita na dati si Fitz at Kaela?! This is getting worse!
'"Yes Mommy, kung nasaan tayo, andoon din siya. He doesn't seem like a stalker though"
So he knew all along.
