Sky's Not The Limit

Prolouge

"Levi,"

I called. Agad naman syang napalingon sakin at binigyan ako ng nagtatanong na mga mata.

"Can you give me that shirt?"

I said, pointing on a shirt that left on the bed. Kanina pa ako nagsimulang magimpake pero hanggang ngayon hindi parin ako tapos. Ewan ko ba, napakadami yata naming damit.

"Mommy oh." Saad nya pagkaabot sakin ng damit ng hindi man lang ako tinatapunan ng tingin. His eyes were fixed onto the screen of his tablet, watching something. Ngumiti ako at hindi muna kinuha ang damit sa kanya, pinagmasdan ko lang sya hanggang sa nakaramdam na sya ng pangangawit at napatingin na sa akin. "Mommy, nangangawit na po ako." He complained. I chuckled before grabbing the shirt.

"Levi, what did i said to you about using any gadget?" I asked. I saw him gulped and right when he did that, i knew he already forgot about it.

He's really like his Father.

"Uhm, dapat po-"

"What's up? Are guys done?," Levi was cut off, we both glanced at the door and saw Gio. "Anong plano nyong mag-ina? Magimpake nalang habang-buhay? Napakadami nyo namang damit di nyo naman sinusuot lahat." Gio even added.

I rolled my eyes.

"Ba't ba kasi?" I said, raising a brow at him. "Inggit ka?" I rolled my eyes again.

"Ba't ba kasi, inggit ka?" Gio mocked and i immediately glanced at him with my serious face on. I saw Levi in my peripheral vision, looking afraid too.

"Mommy, s-si Gio 'yon." Napatingin ako kay Levi, he's pointing at Gio so Gio's lips parted.

"Levi, diba sabi ko sayo dapat hindi Gio lang, dapat tawagin mo syang-"

"Daddy Gio,"

My lips parted when Gio cut me off.

"Dapat Daddy Gio, okay?"

Then, my eyes widened naman.

Fuck, this jerk. I inhaled a large breathe of air before smiling at Levi who looked so confused. "Levi, don't listen to him," I held his hands. "You should call him Tito or Uncle Gio," I glared at Gio and then looked back again on Levi "He's not your Father." I whispered to Levi.

"Luh, bulong 'yon? ganon na yung bulong sayo?" Panggasar ni Gio, hindi talaga titigil ang lalaking 'to. I clenched my jaw and scoffed then i stood up and pinch him in his arm making him yell in pain. "A-a-arayyyy!" He yelled.

"Ano? Ha-"

"But mommy, who's my Father?"

I frozed. I quickly let go of Gio's skin from my pinch and kneel infront of Levi. "Ano 'yon anak? What are you asking?" I asked, looking onto his deep black eyes.

"W-who's my Father, mommy?" My lips parted, i looked away but then looked back at him again. I cupped his face, giving him a smile.

"Your.....your.... F-father is..." I gulped. "Uhm, i-i don't know his name." I bit my lower lip and then glanced at Gio.

Gio held his head, laughing at me secretly. Walang kwentang kaibigan talaga ang lalaking 'to.

"You don't know his name?" Levi asked again at alam kong hindi nya ako titigilan sa kakatanong nya not until he'll find out what he's really asking for. Mana talaga sa tatay nya.

"Yeah... I don't know his name. But, he's working in an office... just like me," I scoffed, remembering Levi's Father. "BUT, I'm just a secretary and he's surely a CEO right now. He has a higher position than me, of course." I added, murmuring the truth.

"Oh, okay." Napahinga ako ng maluwag nang marinig ko na ang line ni Levi kapag kontento na sya sa sagot sa tanong nya. Ngumiti ulit ako at tsaka nalang ipinagpatuloy ang pagiimpake.

"Wag kang maniwala sa mommy mo, Daddy mo ako, anak." My brows furrowed hearing Gio again.

"Hindi ka talaga titigil?" Pananakot ko. Ngumisi naman si Gio.

I was watching them while folding our clothes and putting in on our luggage. They were talking about something i can't understand while laughing, they were literally like Father and Son.

I bit my lower lip.

"Mommy! Are we gonna ride airplane?"

Tanong kaagad ni Levi saktong pag-apak namin sa loob ng airport. Kanina pa sya nagtatanong ng kung ano ano gaya ng kung saan daw kami pupunta, bakit daw kami aalis at kung ano nalang na maitanong nya.

"Yes, anak."

Napalingon ako kay Gio sa tabi ko ng sya na ang sumagot ng dapat isasagot ko.

"Maaga pala tayo ng 30 minutes, 6:30 pm palang at 7:00 pm pa ang flight natin, ang aga natin."

I look up at Gio and saw him rubbing his neck while pursing his lips, maaga nga kami pero mas okay na'to kaysa naman ma-late noh.

"Kaysa naman ma-late tayo." Sagot ko.

"Ows? Late lang," Umupo sya sa tabi ni Levi. "Walang tayo." Agad nanlaki ang mga mata ko, napatingin tuloy ako sa paligid kung may nakarinig ba ng sinabi nya.

"Buwiset ka." I mouthed.

"Hoy! may atabs!" Suway nya naman pero inirapan ko nalang sya. "Levi, halika nanga lang, bili tayo pagkain kaysa naman hinahayaan ka ng nanay mong magbababad dyan sa gadget." Inirapan nya rin ako tsaka binuhat si Levi.

"Bakla amp," "Bilhan mo din ako ah!"

Dahil naiwan ako sa waiting area ay inayos ko muna ang mga bagahe namin, hinilera ko para d magkandawalaan at pagkatapos, i took out my phone pati yung earphones ko para magpatugtog. I was shooking my head while feeling every beat of the music.

Minutes later, i gasp when someone sat beside me. Napatingin tuloy ako sa tabi ko dahil akala ko ay si Gio na 'yon pero hindi, isang typical business man lang na may katawagan.

Hindi ko naman makita ang mukha nya dahil nakatagilid sya sakin kaya niyuko ko nalang ulit ang ulo ko at pumikit para damdamin ulit ang kanta. Nang matapos ang paborito kong kanta ay tinanggal ko na ang earphones ko at ibinalik ang phone ko sa bulsa ko, sakto din at naglalakad na papalapit sakin si Levi at Gio.

"Mommy! Ice cream!"

Sigaw ni Levi, iwinawagayway pa ang ice cream na dala nya. Napasapo ako sa nood, ice cream pa ang binili ng tangang 'to.

"Bakit mo naman binilhan ng ice cream? Kakagaling lang ni Levi sa ubo, sampalin ko utak mo eh."

Sermon ko agad pagkalapit nila.

Nakita ko ang akmang pagsagot ni Gio pero parang bigla nalang syang napako sa kinatatayuan nya at hindi makagalaw.

"Sir, let's go?"

Narinig ko ang mahinahong boses ng isang babae kaya napatingin ako kung saan nanggaling 'yon. Ganon na lamang ang pagkagulat ko ng makita ko ang isang babaeng matangkad, maputi, makinis ang balat at higit sa lahat ay nagniningning sa kagandahan.

He look up at her and gulped. Then, he glanced at Levi making his lips parted.

"What's your name little boy?"

Tanong nya na parang pinipilit magkaroon ng isang mahinahon na boses sa sarap ng isang bata.

Napatingin naman ako kay Levi.

"Levi po." Sagot nya "Le- mommy, ano nga po ulit buo kong name?" Agad nanlaki ang mga mata ko, nararamdaman ko nang ngayon ay nakatingin sya sakin.

I looked away. "L-leyrenz Vishnu."

"Leyrenz Vishnu, what a cool name isn't it?" I heard him scoff which sent chills all over my body. "And your Father is?" Napatingin ulit ako sa lalaki dahil baka mapagkamalan nya si Gio pero.. napatigil ako ng makita kong nakatitig sya sakin.

"What's his Father's name?"

He asked, deeply staring unto my eyes. I, on the other hand just wanna disappear. I closed my eyes hardly, gathering all my strength. Then, right when i opened my eyes..

"Giovanni Kai Alfonso."

I answered, holding my breath.
