The ARROGANT and ME [MAFIA SERIES #1]✔

Ika Tatlongpu't Tatlo

*****

"Mom we're going to have family day this Sunday, are we going to attend?" Tyron asking me.

I just stop cooking and back my whole attention to him. I saw his dark green eyes na kagayang kagaya ng sa tatay niya..

It's so mesmerizing..

"Bakit naman hindi baby? Free ako sa Sunday." I kissed his cheeks.

He's not that fan of events in school kaya nagulat ako na nagsabi siya ngayon tungkol sa events.

"But...mom we need a D-ad.."

The shocked invalid my whole being. I saw the sadness in his eyes while he lowered his face to me. I'm sorry....

"Hey baby, don't feel sad. We will attend that event. I will call your Papa Dylan, it's that okey?" Maybe I can cheer him up that way..

I saw his eyes with the glimmer of tears. I wipe his tears and cupped his face.

"I'm really s-sorry..." I kissed his forehead to eased his pain.

He always asked me kung nasaan ba ang tunay nilang ama. Wala akong masabi kung nasaan dahil hindi korin alam kung nasaan lupalop siya ngayon. But as I said he's busy with a business trip in other country.

"When we're going to meet our true dad mom? I know he's busy but, ever since he doesn't make a way to communicate to us. Is he don't like us? Or is he don't like to have us?"

The way he ask me right now is full of persuasion and anticipation, na hindi ko masagot ng maayos.

I'm really sorry...

Tears fall to my eyes..
Nagising ako sa pagkakampante ko na baka okey na ang buhay namin ngayon. But I'm wrong, they need to know the truth.

But I dont want to hurt them, they are my treasures.

"Dont answered that one mom, I'm sorry.." he wipe my tears and kissed my forehead as I faced him.

"Hey! Kuya? Why are you making mom cry? You bad." I saw Tyler enter the kitchen while he brings his toy car.

"I tell mom sorry so it's quits and I kissed her." Pagdadahilan ng anak kong panganay sa akusa ng nakababatang kapatid.

Lumapit din ito saakin at humalik sa pisnge ko.

"Tell it to me mom, if kuya makes you cry again. I will punch him for you." I saw his light green eyes with full of endurance.

I pinched his nose.

"That's bad baby, you should not punch your Kuya."

He just pouted his lips to me and faced his kuya.

"I'm sorry."

I saw them two start playing, i just takes a few glance before I forgot that I'm cooking.

"Sh*it!"

****

So after the dinner I called Dylan.
Tulog na ang mga bata.

"Hey! How are you? Nakauwi kana?"

I heard his car's noises in the landline.

"Yeah, Napatawag ka? You need something?"

I just stared the two kids sleeping in their bed. Kakatapos ko lang itong basahan ng favorite bedtime story nila.

"Are you free this Sunday? If not that's okey."

I know he's kinda busy.

"Why? You want a date on Sunday?" I hear him chuckling.

"Am not that, my event sa school ang mga bata. Amm family day. Day need their papa to be with them too."

"Yeah going to get my early day off in Sunday. Tell them I willingly go."

"Thank you so much Dylan."

**********

"Mom! What is this red box under your bed?" Tyler asked me.

I saw him caring a red box towards to me.

"Open up, mom! What's inside?" He pouted his lips to me.

It been what? 7 years I think since ng makuha ko ang box na ito, but ngayon ko lang ito bubuksan ulit. Hindi ko pa nga yata nababasa ang sulat na nasa loob.

I saw the three dried petals of rose kasa-kasama ang sobre na matagal ko ng hindi pa nabubuksan.

"Wow! You had admirer Mom?! Read it." He said with excited expression.

Even if they're just 6 years old, the way their ind works is pretty matured than others kids in their age.

I opened the envelope's letter and read it.

November's first 20**

Dear Chelly,

Hi it's me Sytton, I hope when you opened this letter. Agh! I'm not really fan of writing letter but I hope we getting to know well. You really looked good to your bio-data, kinda like your smile too in that picture of yours. I know, I'm not a good person as you meet in first place but don't worry I won't hurt you. Hope you safe and well.

If you need me just call this cell no 909*2*****1

Truly yours,
Sytton Templeton.

A small smile showed to my face as I read the letter, talaga lang ah? Hindi sasaktan? Ulol. But it's all in the past now.

Sumulat pala siya saakin, bago kami magkita? Tsk!

"Who's Sy-sytton Templeton Mom?" Biglang pasok sa eksena ni Tyron

I back to reality kung saan nagbabaliktanaw sa nakaraan.

"A-amm, it's one of my patient back then. I a-already told you two that mom was a nurse right? He wrote a letter to me to s-saying thanks." I shattered while I'm saying to them kung sino ang nagsulat ng sulat ns iyon.

"Really? Sytton Templeton is one of your patient back then? Wow, how sweet of him writing you a letter then." A heard a sarcasm to Tyron's voice.

Nakita ko naman ang pagdududa sa mata ni Tyler, ayon sa sinabi ko. Nagdadalwang isip ako if sasabihin ko ba sakanila na ang taong iyon ay ang Tatay nila.

"Sy-sytton Templet-"

Before I finish what I'm going to say biglang tumakbo ang mga bata papunta sa gawi ni Dylan.

"PAPA!!" they excitedly hugged him.

Nakita ko itong bihis na bihis at may dalang pasalubong sa dalawang bata.

"You really missed me ah? Nagpakabait ba kayo?"

I saw the happiness of the two kids habang buhat buhat ni Dylan.

They really need to have a father I think. Father's love for his son's..

I want a complete family too...

Maybe it's time... para sagutin ko na si Dylan...
